Orban is not a Putin Protege, he is the OG (Original Gangsta) of the Neo-Populist movement. He invented a new type of Disorder based politics and how to lodge it inside an existing democracy. https://t.co/dEF4zNYCTv
The Chinese are cleaning our clock when it comes to lithium batteries and EVs, while the Russians still dominate at nuclear energy…Why? Why can’t the West play the geopolitics of climate change better? Why can’t Western countries work together https://t.co/MVzl1sNUF2
‘Hungary, Europe!’ Spontaneous chant I just heard on streets of Budapest … supermajority means Tisza really can dismantle the Orban system… and Orban has conceded… it will be a tough road ahead but truly hard to imagine a better result… I’ll be writing about it soon…
(3/3) and 4. That Trump clearly has no idea what he is doing. 5. Or did he as the war buried his involvement with Jane Doe 4 and his firing of Pam Bondi which is all it was ever meant to do plus allow a few Trump friends to make billions shorting Brent https://t.co/BZziXub6V2
(2/3) 1. That the war will restart. 2. That the underlying conditions which led to the War have not been treated. 3. That we are all in worse shape than before it started (even the Iranian people and Israel are in worse shape than they were before).
Usually waking up to a ceasefire and the end of one of the most destructive wars economically and in human cost in recent years would be an unmitigated positive.
But somehow I have this very very negative feeling. (1/3)
Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.
in 1701 the French bourbons launched the war of Spanish succession. In 2026 the trumpian morons launched the endless wars of Epstein distraction. It would be funny if it wasn’t true!
Talking Politics and Religion.. and a Further gaze deep into the looking glass to review of the concept of the Enduring Disorder https://t.co/TZWantcVQ8
Is Mamdani Trump’s “Worst Nightmare” — or His “Closet Wet Dream”?
A joyous day for MAGA and the post-colonialist Saidians, a sad day for centrists, and a consequential day for all.
Here is my post-election memetastic round-up. https://t.co/hiSMGwxq4m
Today, November 4th Americans celebrate Election Day.
The U.S. federal government is shut down, and institutions from the courts to Congress appear unable to hold President Trump accountable.
To find out, I’m joined by @eliehonig https://t.co/ifkZN7khrn
Trump rolls out the red carpet for a war criminal. On American soil. The U.S. government should be arresting Putin, not hosting him. Shameful and embarrassing.
About to go on @BBCRadioScot to discuss Iran and the impact of the US and Israeli airstrikes - for Iran, the region, and the world’s nuclear nonproliferation regime.
Report emerging from Israel that Trump and Netanyahu have agreed for Arab states to take over running Gaza (floated back in 2023), Hamas to release hostages and go into exile, "Gazans who wish to emigrate" would leave for other countries, Saudi and Syria would normalise with Israel, Israel would get more of West Bank.
It is disheartening to see today that the strength of international law and humanitarian law no longer seems binding, replaced by the presumed right to overpower others. This is unworthy and shameful for humanity and for the leaders of nations.
