THREAD: On 21 June 2025 the United States bombed Iran, concentrating its massive firepower on three Iranian nuclear installations. It was, by any measure, and like the war launched by Israel on 13 June, an unprovoked attack. None of the justifications offer pass the smell test. As for the status of these attacks under international law, any such analysis is irrelevant, because international law as we have known it no longer exists. For good measure Israel and the United States have most likely also administered a fatal blow to the nuclear regulatory regime.

What Zelensky gave us today in the Oval Office, by not bowing to a bully and extortionist, was a masterclass in anti-imperialism. Including to many self-proclaimed anti-imperialists, who will naturally reject it, but who wouldn't last 30 seconds in a similar situation.

The rise of Trump and Trumpism cannot be fully explained without first recognizing how, over the last two decades, American politics has been shaped by the rise of China. 🧵

🇨🇳🇺🇸 I’m sorry Fox and CNN but I’m watching the Chinese reporting on the US election.

🤣🤣🤣

Who does Taiwan want for the next US president?

Our survey from 2 days ago shows overwhelming support for Kamala Harris.

Tim Walz taught English in China in 1989-1990.

“Chinese are such kind, generous, capable people. They just gave and gave and gave to me."

He was interviewed by Star-Herald when he returned to the US.

(But his political biases have stayed the same. That’s the American way)

Given it's an overcast Easter Monday in Brussels and there's absolutely nothing to do, here's a tale of attempted regicide, bloodthirsty retribution and almost psychotic pettiness from Lisbon to brighten a day that's our calendar's equivalent of the doldrums.

BOM DIA from @POLITICOEurope's temporary reporting outpost above Lisbon.

In a little less than an hour polls will open and 10.8 million Portuguese citizens will be called on to decide who should govern the country in a post-António Costa era.

Here's how the day will go:

Not only in movies or books but also in music. Give a listen to this playlist I've compiled with songs based on or inspired by Taiwan's White Terror period, on the 77th anniversary of the 228 incident—a dark chapter in Taiwanese history.

Tem muita gente por aí palpitando sobre Taiwan (Formosa) de maneira muito simplista. Daí que resolvi fazer um pequeno fio com uma contextualização histórica 🧵 1/
