Extractive companies pay hundreds of billions of dollars to governments each year but the money often gets siphoned off by elites instead of benefiting the people. Our new tool can help hold governments & industry to account for these key public revenues https://t.co/jWQFwYtkDw

Joint NATO budget is about one trillion USD, yet military asks for more. Remarkable avarice.

[Russia in Canada @RussianEmbassyC]

Contrary to the Western propaganda effort to whitewash M.Saakashvili: after the 🇺🇸-backed 'revolution' in 🇬🇪, his bloody regime unleashed the aggression on Aug 8, 2008. #Russia had no other choice than to repel the #NATO-trained forces to protect civilians & peacekeepers

[Russia at the United Nations @RussiaUN]

#Russia used its armed forces in response to a large-scale Georgian attack on the Russian #peacekeeping units that were deployed in South Ossetia legally, with Georgia’s permission. As per Art.51 of #UNCharter, Russia notified the UNSC of the application of right of self-defence.

Amusing to watch neo-liberals hyper-ventilate over Macron policies. Fact is, he's a realist in neo-lib clothes. https://t.co/IAPlvtRX4H

"It is France’s “Jupiterian” president, Macron, who has the most ambitious project. His @ParisPeaceForum, to be held on November 11th-13th, is envisaged as an annual event bringing together governments and civic groups to discuss the world’s problems."
