@worldhistorytea @anneapplebaum Well wars are stupid, so let’s learn how to live in peace with our neighbours

[Johnny miller @johnnyjmils]

I do feel for the Russians. There is a deep sadness. Russia is part of Europe. Their history and literature is embedded in the cannon of Western art. Putin is sad. Medvedev is becoming psychotic. Dugin is going crazy. And they speak for the Russians I meet in Moscow. They are sad that Europe wants to reject them. They don't want to escalate. Because they are European. But the incomentant British Foreign Office. And EU commision are pushing them to do so.

I love Paris. I love Rome. I love Moscow. I was born in the most beautiful European city of all. Edinburgh. In Scotland. It breaks my heart to see whats happening to Europe now. Two world wars. And they still don't get it. Great power wars in Europe. Only brings ruin to us all.

[Screaming Lord @2ScreamingLord]

@worldhistorytea @anneapplebaum Why not? They could launch a full nuclear onslaught on every major city in Ukraine, Poland and the whole of Europe simultaneously for that matter
And what could Europe do? They have no way to stop that or counter it.
Europe cannot escalate to the power that Russia can

[Screaming Lord @2ScreamingLord]

@worldhistorytea @anneapplebaum You're talking about war with Russia and discounting the nuclear imbalance between the two powers?
Seriously get real with your war perspective

[Screaming Lord @2ScreamingLord]

@worldhistorytea @anneapplebaum Russia has the largest stockpile of nuclear armaments in the world. If it becomes existential only one side will win, or probably both sides will lose, but there is nothing that can convince me that Europe would be victorious

[Screaming Lord @2ScreamingLord]

How is it considered unpatriotic to be against an illegal war unsanctioned by Congress and the American public?
Its Trump who is unpatriotic - he wants to rule as a despot to do as he pleases

[Fox News @FoxNews]

BREAKING: "Who would do such an unpatriotic thing?"

President Trump blasting Democrats and Republicans in the House who voted to limit his war powers on Iran, saying the lawmakers are undermining the U.S. at a critical moment.

"They know where the negotiations stand. The Democrats are fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome."

[Screaming Lord @2ScreamingLord]

@NXT4EU Powerful in what sense? Economically - no. Militarily - no.
Confused how you got to this conclusion

[Screaming Lord @2ScreamingLord]

@worldhistorytea @anneapplebaum The reality is that EU cannot possibly hope to win a broad war against Russia (without full US support)
Plus its making Europeans poorer

[Screaming Lord @2ScreamingLord]

@lennon909uk Better to negotiate than escalate a war that can’t be won by EU/UK/Ukraine.
The US won’t come to Europes rescue, they despise us.
Time to get real

[Screaming Lord @2ScreamingLord]

I used to empathise with Ukraine, but escalating the war against Russia is a fools errand.
Time to negotiate, not escalate

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

More than 500 personnel of the State Emergency Service have been involved in dealing with the aftermath of Russia’s overnight attack on our cities and communities. The main strike was on Kyiv, where dozens of residential buildings and other purely civilian infrastructure were damaged again. Tragically, four people have been reported killed. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. At this moment, 38 people are in hospitals in the capital, and all of them are receiving the necessary care.

In Dnipro, a search and rescue operation is ongoing at the site of a four-story apartment building. Part of the building was essentially demolished. Nine people were killed in this attack, including a child. Thirty-five people were injured in the city. The fate of six more people remains unknown. The search for them will continue for as long as necessary.

The Russians also struck energy facilities in the Kharkiv region and critical infrastructure in Kharkiv. Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Sumy, Chernihiv, and Khmelnytskyi regions also came under attack.

In total, overnight Russia launched 656 attack drones and 73 missiles of various types at our people – ballistic, cruise, and anti-ship missiles. A large-scale attack and an absolutely clear statement from Russia: if Ukraine is not protected from ballistic and other missile strikes, these attacks will continue. Europe needs its own anti-ballistic defense so that this war can finally be brought to an end. And assistance from the United States in supplying missiles for Patriot systems is absolutely necessary. We are counting on the support of our partners and on effective responses to today’s attack.

And I thank all Ukrainian men and women for not ignoring air raid alerts.

Glory to Ukraine!

There is a strange development in which academics of international politics are expected to publicly condemn adversarial countries before they are allowed to participate in public discourse. The complexity of international politics is reduced to a moral question of good versus evil, and academics must make moral declarations before even discussing facts, history, strategy, and interpretations. Academics should explain why states behave as they do; they are not moral validators.

What value does it bring to an analysis if the analyst "condemns" one side? After Russia invaded Ukraine, the former Norwegian foreign minister actually argued that "this is not the time to understand, but to condemn". This ridiculous position is pushed on academics. However, understanding is not endorsement, explanation is not advocacy, and ignorance is not strength. I argue it is in Russia's security interest to push NATO away from its borders, it is in Iran's interest to control the Strait of Hormuz, and it is in China's interest to create a new international economic architecture. This is not advocacy, nor is it a normative position about how the world should work; rather, it is a recognition of how the world actually works.

An academic should examine interests, capabilities, and strategic calculations that produce such policies—not participate in ritualised declarations of virtue that contribute absolutely nothing. Furthermore, moralism and condemnation often lead to a lack of understanding and increased conflict. When the conclusion is always that the good guys are confronting the bad guys, then the solution is always "peace through strength", "weapons are the path to peace", and defeating the latest reincarnation of Hitler. If you want war, condemn the other side as pure evil. If you want peace, the first step is to understand the other side.

You lost

[Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo]

President Trump has always been clear that America needs to win again - and that's exactly what we must do in Iran.

We cannot allow our hard-won gains to be squandered - let's finish the job.

[Screaming Lord @2ScreamingLord]

No, the US and Israel are the enemy

[Gunther Fehlinger-Jahn @GunterFehlinger]

Russia is our enemy

[Richard @ricwe123]

Once again EU President Ursula von der Leyen is lying through her teeth when she claims US LNG is "more affordable and better" than Russian pipeline gas.

That’s complete bullshit.

Anyone with a bullshit detector that works knows liquefying gas, shipping it across the ocean and then regasifying it costs way more than running it through a pipeline from next door.

What really happened is the EU signed away $750 billion to US energy giants.
It’s not a partnership,it’s a total shakedown.
And to hide that fact, EU leaders are feeding the public empty slogans and flat-out lies while doing Washington’s bidding.

This is Europe willingly gutting its own economy to please the US administration.
This has nothing to do with freedom or security.
It’s about irrational Russophobia and EU elites too spineless and too complicit to admit they’ve sold out their own people....
🤮🤮🤮

[George Galloway @georgegalloway]

This was an act of War carried out by France with UK assistance. No “international sanctions” authorised it. Only the UNSC can apply international sanctions. Neither France nor UK are in ANY position to make war upon Russia. Unless Nuclear War, at which point France and the UK would cease to exist. Literally. You are pathetic fools gambling on no Russian response to your criminal acts. Perhaps you should think again about that.

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

A former Tory foreign minister admitted in his diaries that Israel controls the UK Foreign Office

It wasn’t reported in a single UK newspaper

The Israel lobby has captured the British political, judicial and media systems

We are under concerted and wide-ranging attack. Wake up

[Glenn Diesen @Glenn_Diesen]

Heavy attacks on Kyiv throughout the night, which demonstrates a new direction of the war. As I have discussed in many interviews over the past weeks, a decision has been made in Moscow to go up the escalation ladder to restore deterrence. Attacks originating from NATO territory, along with European leaders announcing their intentions to mass produce weapons to strike deep inside Russian territory, have fundamentally changed the nature of the war. NATO territory is also no longer off limits. Make peace now!

[Screaming Lord @2ScreamingLord]

@HouseGOP And yet you still can’t beat Iran
