Lawyer/Anti-Fascist and Anti-Tankie if there’s a difference. Tankies find that confusing but that’s because they’re fascists. Every opinion my own.

Tucker Carlson's favourite "political scientist", John Mearsheimer, and his ATROCIOUS predictions on the war in Ukraine:
Feb. 2022: "I don't think Russia is going to invade."
Sep. 2023: "The Ukrainians are doomed to lose."
Jan. 2024: "It's ridiculous to think Ukraine can hold the line in 2024."
Apr. 2025: "It's unimaginable Ukraine will hang on beyond 2025."
Jul. 2026: "The Russians are slowly moving forward."
The Jim Cramer of foreign policy predictions.

A ceasefire agreement in Gaza has not stopped what a group of independent experts commissioned by the U.N. says is genocide carried out by Israel in the territory.
They also accused Israeli forces of crimes against humanity in the West Bank. wapo.st/4BOSqP5

A new investigation from HRW reveals police officers tampered with body cameras and obstructed justice during an operation in a low-income neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on October 28, 2025.
Evidence indicates police used excessive force and may have intentionally killed scores of men and boys.

By “we” he means ppl are.
That’s just a minor disingenuous interpretation, the mask dropping here is the continuing myth that Russia was provoked into an illegal invasion which it actively sought over months and which would be its third invasion of Ukraine since 2014.

💔💔A father screams in agony beside the lifeless body of his daughter.
This is Chernihiv, Ukraine, where a russian attack killed two 15-year-old girls.
No parent should ever have to experience this horror💔

Having served in the UNSC & EU & helped devise EU security policy I agree with @DanMulhall - there is nothing inherently superior in a UN mission: mandates result from unsatisfactory UNSC compromises and the quality of staff and staff work is less strong.
My statement is correct. Both the UN & EU are made up of their member States. The UN is a global grouping, the EU a regional one.
Sadly, the UN, which started in a blaze of glory in the 1940s, has become deeply flawed. That’s because it is controlled by the Security Council & its 5 permanent members. It has no representation from Africa or Latin America or the Middle East. India is not a member.
The UN has been completely ineffective on wars in Ukraine & the Gulf. It is unable to extend the mandate of UNIFIL. You may be ok with that inactivity but I am not.
We are EU members & take a full part in its decisions. The EU needs to play a fuller role in promoting peace & political progress in Palestine.
I don’t know if it can succeed in filling the gap left by UNIFIL but I am prepared to give it a chance. I trust ourselves as Europeans more than I trust Russia, China or the USA.
You are of course entitled to your own preferences.
LFI are a joke.
Better than Le Pen but shepherding her into power with smooth brained nonsense like this.
🔴 Antoine Léaument refuse de qualifier Mao Zedong de dictateur
✅ Invité à réagir à la polémique entre @KMbappe et le régime chinois, @ALeaument refuse de qualifier le responsable de la mort d'environ 70 millions d'individus de dictateur. Il estime en sus que la France est ni plus, ni moins démocratique que la République populaire de Chine.
🔍 La question des valises de billets du PCC à la @FranceInsoumise mériterait d'être investiguée, @lemondefr, @Mediapart ? Intéressés ? @jnbarrot un commentaire ? 😅

Stating the fact Mao was a dictator draws out the propagandists.
Since we’re talking about Mao...
Between 1949 and 1976, life expectancy in China rose by 32 years – the fastest improvement ever recorded by any country in human history. Adult illiteracy fell from over 80 per cent to 33 per cent by 1978. Land was redistributed. Women were emancipated. A complete industrial base was built from near-zero. The treaty ports were abolished. The country was unified after a century of fragmentation.

I actually wanted a community note..no really.
For once, the community note is actually useful. Millions of people did indeed die under Mao's reign. It was a tragedy.
But, for some reason, the Western mind seems incapable of grasping the complex impact of Mao. In the West, we refuse to acknowledge that Mao is actually respected and admired in China.
I've listed a few reasons in my original post. Unity and sovereignty are big ones. After a century of being carved up and subjected to imperialism, Mao unified China into a single central state. He removed foreign influence. He stood up to the US.
China’s status as a major power today rests on foundations built by Mao.

1/ Russians shouldn't listen to the American pro-Russian commentator and convicted pedophile Scott Ritter, warns a Russian analyst. Ritter's claims of an imminent Ukrainian collapse are a fantasy without a basis in fact, he says. ⬇️
How to misunderstand the roadblock to UN reform in as many words.
The permanent members of the security council hold veto power over reform. The reason there isn’t reform is collectively they want to block every reform in their own interest.
Just like peacekeeping. 😳
For those whose selective hearing was used to condone anti-semitism.
Found guilty of condoning crimes against humanity and making death threats aggravated by their antisemitic nature, the defendant was sentenced to six months' imprisonment (suspended)

The UNIFIL mandate also included the assistance of the Lebanese army in disarming Hezbollah.
Any evidence of this “behest”?
Misleading and increasing desperate.

Today Marta is attacking countries for NOT supplying weapons.
These shameless attacks on Marta’s positions by Marta have got to stop.
“We stand with Ukraine!” “As long as it takes!” — they proclaimed.
They just forgot to mention one tiny detail: “As long as Uncle Sam is in a good mood.”
Meloni, always so generous with her dazzling smiles, warm hugs, and theatrical displays of affection for Zelensky, has suddenly decided to put Italy’s 13th military aid package on ice.
Apparently, she’s waiting for the weather forecast from the White House after November 3. Because in European politics, even the sun doesn't rise without Washington's permission.
See? Everything in this beautiful, fucked-up world is interconnected.
Meanwhile, Zelensky apparently thought he could hop from one prime-time show to another, bask in the spotlight, and tell the president of the world's most powerful superpower to go fuck himself — without ever having to pick up the tab.
Turns out, geopolitics isn't a Netflix comedy special. And standing ovations don't come with unlimited Patriot missiles.

Great news for our emergency winter aid appeal. Many thanks @GMB_union for donating £5,000 to support the secondary school in Kryvyi Rih that is part it.
More details and donate on the crowdfunder: bit.ly/uawinteraid
That takes us to £11,350 - nearing half way mark!
Any day you get the opportunity to remind ppl that Mao was a dictator who caused the deaths of millions of ppl is a good day.

From small Ireland 🇮🇪 and Belarus 🇧🇾 acorns great democratic oak trees 🌳 grow.
For me, Europe began in Ireland 🇮🇪.
Today at the conference in Dublin, I shared some personal memories. As a teenager, I visited Ireland several times through a programme for children affected by the Chornobyl disaster. I stayed with Henry and Marian Deane in Roscrea, County Tipperary.
I learned English here, and even a little Irish. I discovered another culture. But most importantly, I discovered another way of life.
I saw that people could speak freely. That they could disagree with their government without being afraid. I was too young then to understand what democracy really meant. But I could feel what freedom was. That is something you never forget.
Ireland helped shape me as a person, my values and my European identity. Long before I learned about the European Union, I experienced European values through ordinary Irish people. Through a family who opened their home to a girl from Belarus. Through neighbours who treated me as one of their own.
Ireland also taught me another important lesson: You can love your country, your language and your traditions while remaining open to the world.

“It is as if a tsunami had hit the city,” said a resident who returned to Sudan’s El Fasher only to find it destroyed and largely abandoned after the RSF's October 2025 takeover.
