Another excellent interview with Natasha Hausdorff, a barrister and leading expert in international law, particularly the law of armed conflict, foreign affairs, and national security policy. 1/2

Bari Weiss: Welcome to the Global Intifada This week, outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., a gunman opened fire and murdered two young people—Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim. 1/3

Die Linke stand einst für Arbeiterrechte und Aufklärung. Heute marschiert sie mit Islamisten in Markenturnschuhen, schreibt WELT-Kolumnist Ahmad Mansour. 1/2

Gut, dass die Probleme der Migrationspolitik endlich offen im öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk thematisiert werden. Weiter so! youtu.be/onxwX3bx-UA...

Garry Kasparow über die russische Opposition: "...they live within this paradigm of good Putin, bad Putin, good Tsar, bad Tsar, with no real interest in eliminating the imperial nature of the Russian state."

The Russian conquest and genocide of Chechnya has always been the precedent, playbook, and plan for everything they are doing in Ukraine today: the mass killing of civilians, the total destruction of cities, and the installation of a puppet regime utterly obedient to the Kremlin: 1/2

I agree with this. Clarity can be terrifying. It can also be immensely helpful. There is no hiding from reality now.

Dominic Grieve is one of the most measured and polite people out there. Not exactly known for hyperbole or click bait. Which is why I would read this.

I understand (and share) the feeling but this would not help Ukraine, Europe or the U.K. Instead of performatively cutting ties with the US, the U.K. should focus on doing more with Ukraine and Europe as a whole. Don‘t say 'I won‘t have anything to do with you‘, just do more with the others.

My response to the disgraceful attacks by Trump and Vance on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy: I’ve donated again to Ukraine’s defense through the official fundraising platform, UNITED24. Ukraine is fighting for freedom, democracy, and justice against Russian aggression. 1/2

Why Trump's appeasement of Putin over Ukraine is both shameful and stupid. And how Europe must respond to Trump's 'Munich' this weekend in Munich @munsecconf.bsky.social @ecfr.eu @anneapplebaum.bsky.social @timothysnyder.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The headlines out of Munich this weekend need to be about European action, not American appeasement. Trump and Putin will only respond to strength. Europe needs to show it, now: Announce serious new military aid, major new sanctions, real enforcement of existing ones, & #MakeRussiaPay

How quickly Trump rolled over for me is proof that if he was POTUS in 2022 this war wouldn't have lasted 3 years. He'd have just thrown Ukraine under a tank in exchange for a pat on the head.

Friendly reminder that Ukraine is in fact Ukraine and not bound to any deal the Trump White House proposes without them.

This weekend in Munich would be an ideal time for any courageous European leader(s) to publicly commit to sending troops to Ukraine as part of pre-NATO security guarantees.

🔥 AMAZING. Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia. It’s taken years of prep. What a moment.

The US Oligarch and Nazi Elon Musk has been defeated by a German court. Germany has ruled that Musk must immediately provide researchers with access to X's data on politically related content ahead of the country’s election. www.politico.eu/article/berl...

Check out this excellent summary by Rabbi Sacks on the evolving nature of antisemitism, which is evident on social media and on the streets. youtu.be/3UAcYn4uUbs...

If Russia had a wish list, it would include gutting the DOJ and FBI, weakening the Treasury, fracturing America’s alliances to isolate the U.S. on the global stage, and dismantling USAID And all of it is happening

Grandiose Bilder aus Bratislava heute abend: Die Proteste richten sich gegen Premier Fico, der als Marionette des Kremls die Slowakei auf einen pro-russischen Kurs zwingen will. Die Hoffnungen dieser Menschen ruhen auf Europa und nicht auf Russland.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Ukraine's NATO membership 'cheapest' security guarantee, 'victory' for Trump, Zelensky tells AP #Ukraine
