Biden is trying to distract and imply his option was to either send more troops or end a war. That wasn’t the case. It has always been about protecting America. This exit from Afghanistan and the way it was done was pathetic. He gave the terrorists a win and he knows it.

[Steve Yates (葉望輝) @SteveYates]

Question was not whether to withdraw from Afghanistan, but how. Biden does not address or take responsibility for that, which is on him alone. Talk of continuing a forever war is a smokescreen. Shame.

Insane. Don’t have any other words.

The Kabul Airport.

The Afghans we were with in February, were all executed outside their homes in Kandahar on Thursday.

#Slovakia stands by the Czech Republic. #EU-#China relations are based on dialogue and mutual respect. Threats directed at one of the EU members and its representatives contradict the very essence of our partnership and as such are unacceptable.

Wow -what a privilege. I feel very humbled to be described so generously, and privileged to be invited to join #FridaysForFreedom for #HongKong outside the Chinese Embassy at 5pm today

Thank you @NOW4humanity for inviting me 👇

[HK asylum seekers could be sent to #China's secret courts]

1. Twelve #HKers, all involved in #hkprotests, were detained by #China’s coast guard today when fleeing to #Taiwan for political asylum. All of them are now detained in #China.

Thread! PRC has detained 12 Hong Kongers at sea and taken them to the mainland. They must be brought back to Hong Kong.

[Hong Kong Watch @hk_watch]

'Hong Kong’s common law has traditionally allowed defendants to seek release unless prosecutors can show lawful grounds for their detention. But the burden is now placed on the defendant, under the National Security Law drafted by Beijing' https://t.co/TJZy9vJabE

For the second time this week, Teresa Cheng has intervened in a private prosecution initiated by Ted Hui - this time against the taxi driver who was accused of ramming his vehicle into protesters in Sham Shui Po last October.

The summons against the driver will be dropped.

[Aaron Mc Nicholas @aaronMCN]

Teresa Cheng has applied to end Ted Hui's private prosecution against the police officer who shot a protester in Sai Wan Ho last November

In June, Cheng said prosecutions "brought out of improper motives or political considerations should not be condoned" https://t.co/00RL2iIDnT

Significant: (1) Belarus regime is splitting; it looks like the end is near. (2) State TV now admits for decades it has been lying.

[Forces can’t take away our future]

1. Two days ahead of another rally on Aug 16, it is horrifying to know Thai #police just forcibly arrested student leader Parit Chiwarak @paritchi & bundled him into a car, to crush our Thai fellows’ call for changes.

Military and police across #Belarus are deposing their uniforms and joining the protesters demanding a free, democratic and values driven Belarus. #BelarusProtest #StandWithBelarus
