This is pathetic stuff, is this what we are reduced to..? Our former EU colleague Radoslaw Sikorski says "Europe is no longer in normal peacetime" - Ah Jasus, poor Radoslaw wouldn't want Europe at Peace, is there a bigger Western Imperialism supporting Warmonger out there..?
Europeans corrupted Ukrainian politicians.
And will pay for it.
Ukrainians and Russians lived in peace for centuries and built many beautiful things.
After USSR collapsed, European politicians kept the worst thieves in power in Ukraine. It suited them: those thieves destroyed Soviet industry (an EU competitor) and gave Europe kompromat and leverage over them.
Then that wasn’t enough, so they used Ukraine as a battering ram against Russia. They ignited the conflict and keep pouring fuel into it with weapons and provocations.
Has any European politician said a word about Zelensky’s corruption, or in defense of free speech, the church, or political prisoners? NO. They fear stopping the war because they would have to answer for it.
Soon Russia will stop enduring Western weapons striking its territory - something it has tolerated for 5 years - and will strike Europe. Then European politicians will gladly send their own citizens to war.
Europe as we know it will soon cease to exist.
Wow. François Fillon, the 2nd longest serving Prime Minister in France's 5th republic, just said that "the most significant foreign interference" that Europe faces is "first and foremost, that of the Americans," and that "the Americans are constantly interfering in the organization of European countries."
We all knew it, of course, but it's quite stunning for someone of Fillon's stature to say it out loud.
Full transcript:
"When I was Prime Minister [2007-2012], I already had the opportunity to say this: the most significant foreign interference was, first and foremost, that of the Americans.
Here in our country, the Americans are of course constantly interfering in the organization of European countries, and in particular through a very insidious mechanism that allows them to sanction Western companies. That is how, for example, BNP was ordered to pay several billion in fines to America. That is how America can sanction a Western company like Airbus, for instance, to give an advantage to Boeing.
So the most effective interference - and I'm not even talking about social media, about big tech which are all American, and so on - I'm speaking simply about the actions of the American government."

1930s: Eight U.S. banks financed German rearmament. Henry Ford received an award from Hitler for designing Germany's new tank assembly lines. Despite his bellicose rhetoric, Hitler was viewed favorably as a useful anti-communist, just as Zelensky today serves as the anti-Putin.
In 1933, Wm Dodd became US ambassador in Berlin and began reporting on what he viewed as "Nazi's ill treatment of Jews." His reports were ignored. When he went to Washington and met with FDR, he was told, Germany's treatment of Jews was "an internal matter." When Dodd persisted, he was fired in 1937.
[Read that again: "He was fired."]
Today, Francesca Albanese, Italian legal scholar and human rights advocate, has repeatedly appealed to the international community to help stop the slaughter in #Gaza, urging international intervention to protect Palestinians from Israel's brutal, unlawful occupation.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Russian writer and dissident, wrote: “In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand-fold in the future...”
Francesca Albanese’s efforts to save the Palestinians mirrors William Dodd’s attempts 100 years ago to alert Washington to the growing danger to Germany's Jews. In both cases, however, the U.S. and the collective West, then and now, looked the other way, even prosecuting those who dare sound the alarm.

In China, when a real estate magnate is convicted of fraud he gets life in prison and all personal assets seized.
In some other countries, they give him the nuclear codes 😏
Beautiful takedown by Malaysia's PM Anwar of the hypocrisy of the media (in this instance, Al Jazeera) on Taiwan.
He says in essence that if the Taiwan issue happened in any other country, they'd act exactly the same as China: no country would accept to be broken up, especially if this separatism was fueled by foreign adversaries.
He says he himself would act the same if the issue occurred in Malaysia: "I always take Malaysia as an example: if one province decides to break away, do we use force? I think I will protect the identity and unity of the nation."
He adds: "To me when it comes to China it's always this hypocrisy. You don't talk about many countries in Europe breaking away or within the United States or within Africa but you focus only on China."
Or you could take France as an example: if, say, Corsica was cut away from the mainland and "protected" by the Russian fleet and they, during decades, armed it to the teeth while cultivating a separatist identity, no one on earth would lecture Paris for refusing to accept the dismemberment of its territory - it wouldn't even be a debate.
The Trump regime has blocked 7,000 containers from reaching Cuba. More than 7,000 containers carrying food, energy, hydraulic resources, and medicines remain held at various Caribbean ports because of the U.S. blockade on the island

Yesterday we reported on jewish terrorists in the west bank laying siege to a Palestinian home starving the family inside.
Today they set the house on fire, burning the residents to death, and throwing stones on the road to prevent their rescue.
If you're Jewish or non-Jewish, please, let the world know:
Video from packed stadium at barclays center,
The message was unmistakable:
“We oppose and have no part in Zionism and State of israel”
Not fringe. Not smal
The UN has found that Israel deliberately targeted maternity wards and neonatal units as a direct strategy.
Please RT this until the UK Govt stops supporting the GENOCIDAL state of Israel & doing it in our name.
Thank you.
Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.
Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.
That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.
The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.
This day in history: Nazi Germany invaded the USSR on June 22, 1941, launching Operation “Barbarossa”.
Hitler planned the genocide of up to 40 million people. The most bloody war in world history. USSR/Russia paid for victory with the lives of 27 million of its sons & daughters.
To be clear, @Keir_Starmer is NOT a “decent man”
He has supported and enabled GENOCIDE every single day of being prime minister. He is not “decent”. He is a war criminal
