Which powers are vying for influence in Sudan?

The two players in this military power feud should be tried for warcrimes as they are fighting a battle for personal gain causing wide spread death and destruction. The court should be actively following up! https://t.co/83IqeERMJQ

Ralph Yarl: Doctors cannot believe boy survived shooting, mother says

Very worried about the US, world leader, better then dictatorships like China! However, there is a real danger that this country is destroying itself from within by unbridled violence! https://t.co/Jcfzn9a8ln

West prepares for Putin to use ‘whatever tools he’s got left’ in Ukraine

Only one way out to establish peace in Ukraine and make sure that Putin does not attempt new regional adventures and that is the complete removal of Russian forces out of Ukraine! https://t.co/xenwcTS3kd

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Russian opposition figure jailed for 25 years

That is what you do with critics in Russia, a fake tribunal and imprisonment! This stresses the fact that Ukraine should be fully supported (including jets!) to oust the invaders soonest! https://t.co/2HNLBbYWaU

Macron’s pension reform: legal but harmful

The key issue has been snowed under by political, legal debate, namely the country can no longer afford early retirement! Other countries realized this and reformed! Macron had no option then to force the issue! https://t.co/GupIUpObA1

@EuromaidanPress Incredibly stupid of Europe to “fully” support Ukraine, without supplying fighter jets! Out of a last hesitation not to “offend” Russia or just fear?!West, go all the way and supply all what is needed to enable Ukraine to force Russia out of their country and end the war soonest!

France pension reforms: Macron signs pension age rise to 64 into law

The key issue, that France can no longer financially sustain a pension system retiring at 62, seems to be a non issue in these protests! Most other EU countries concluded that years ago! https://t.co/dB0mWymzcM

@TheEconomist @jnpowell1 One of the many problem’s, is that a “Russian compromise” would probably mean that conquered Ukrainian land would remain Russian. That is of course completely unacceptable, it would mean rewarding the aggressor and inviting further Russian military adventures!

@TheEconomist Xi has successfully played Macron’s huge ego with banquets, parades, fueling his imperial dreams and downplaying the US! And that with the President of The European Commission playing second fiddle! Proof that the EU is still unable to play a coherent role on the world stage!

[Fortright @PeterDuuren]

@TheEconomist Incredible that someone like Macron has been so easily deceived and influenced by Xi and friends! Age old trick! Now he has to slowly peddle back to save face! This all muddies the water, whereas a united Western front regarding Taiwan and Ukraine is the only right course!

[Fortright @PeterDuuren]

@chenweihua @EmmanuelMacron No, wrong! Macron fell for the age old trap of allowing Xi to split the West in supporting China’s aggressive policy of militarily taking over Taiwan and extending world power! Vital for global peace and prosperity is to stop China from military and other agressive behavior!

[Fortright @PeterDuuren]

@EmmanuelMacron Extremely disappointing to hear your comments after the visit, being successfully influenced by Xi to distance the West from supporting Taiwan! How could you be so easily turned on the wrong path, Xi must be ecstatic! Wrong, supporting agression towards a sovereign country!

[Fortright @PeterDuuren]

Macron proves to be a dangerously bad statesman, influenced by short term gains! Investing in defending freedom, human rights, sovereignty, comes with short term hardships, but with gains in the long term! Hopefully the EU make their position clear! https://t.co/4EjqybhfGc

[Fortright @PeterDuuren]

As a consequence of recent (business) deals with China, Macron tries to appease China by showing “neutrality” on the Taiwan issue! Misplaced and wrong, Taiwan as well as Ukraine, deserve our united support, whatever it takes! Appeasement is not an option!

China simulates hitting 'key targets' on Taiwan

Outrageous Chinese aggression! To be stopped by a united Western front, expressing clear support, also militarily. And full access to all international organizations, UN, etc.. Only then will they rethink! https://t.co/B4HZRDZJCa

[Fortright @PeterDuuren]

A completely foolish idea to just dump 4,000 EU laws without assessing the impact of that action on every one of them! And then only politically driven! Time consuming but necessary!

Chinese military rehearsing encirclement of Taiwan

To stop China from any foolish aggressive plans, without merit! Despite (economic) ties, the West should openly support Taiwan as a normal country and declare military assistance in case of an invasion. https://t.co/GKbh1mdRsY

[Fortright @PeterDuuren]

@Reuters Only one way out of this impasse, the US and West should all fully unite and support Taiwan to have normal international relations, become full UN member and help defend it when attacked by China. Also here unfortunately only force talks!

Trump indictment: US going to hell, says ex-president

Trump could avoid this “going to hell” by removing himself out of the limelight or possibly the authorities will assist with this endeavor! https://t.co/0cL5I2t3dU

War in Taiwan will dwarf Ukraine unless the US shows China its teeth

The US and West lack courage to make clear to China that in case of an invasion they will defend Taiwan. If they would this would reduce the probability of China actually invading! https://t.co/cynVVbrkYd
