Marles refuses to face up to reality on the crazy AUKUS deal. Denialism won’t work. Refusing to debate won’t work. Ignoring the facts won’t work. Labelling opponents as “appeasers” won’t work. Shovelling $Bs of our money into a failing and flawed AUKUS disaster won’t work.

My new piece for @unherd also reflects on the Femonationalism and Busification in Ukraine

Some Ukrainian feminists have directed their criticism at draft evaders while largely overlooking a wartime system that casts men as protectors and women as those in need of protection — precisely the gender hierarchy feminism claims to oppose.

This flirtation with militaristic nationalism has left many feminists blind to the women whose lives are shattered by busification. Behind every man dragged into a recruitment van, then tortured or beaten to death by draft officers, let alone killed at the front, stands a mother, a daughter, a wife, bearing the fear, grief, and trauma that follow. But because their suffering complicates the dominant wartime narrative, this reality is largely met with silence.

A similar silence greets another group of inconvenient women — those who have become active in the grassroots struggle against forced mobilisation. Gender in Detail, Ukraine's leading gender website, has had remarkably little to say about the women standing in the way of busification.

These women are threatened, attacked, prosecuted, and publicly shamed for defending relatives — or complete strangers — from recruitment vans. The courage of these women, from teenage girls to pensioners, can be seen in countless videos confronting recruitment officers and the police. Their courage is visible, their suffering documented. Yet their invisibility, in the end, is political.

[Marta Havryshko @HavryshkoMarta]

A substantial number of Ukrainian intellectuals have willingly embraced this arrangement, placing themselves in the service of state interests while convincing themselves that they’re fighting on the "information front" in a war for independence from Russia. Others are motivated by more pragmatic considerations: preserving the privileges that come with exemption from military service. Still others remain loyal out of fear.

Fear, after all, is not an abstract concern. The costs of dissent have become increasingly visible. A recent example is the Ukrainian-Canadian political scientist @I_Katchanovski Ivan Katchanovski, who became the target of a public campaign of denunciation by Ukrainian and Western scholars over his interpretation of the war. Katchanovski has argued for a more nuanced explanation of the conflict — one that looks beyond Russian imperialism and Putin's ambitions to include the role of the Ukrainian far Right, Nato, and a post-Cold War security architecture that excluded Moscow. Rather than confronting these arguments on their scholarly merits, many of his critics simply accused the scholar of spreading “Kremlin propaganda.” Whatever one thinks of Katchanovski’s views, the episode sent a clear message: questioning dominant wartime narratives can carry serious professional and reputational consequences.

Delighted to see @HavryshkoMarta make her debut in @unherd with a great piece on the unholy alliance between Ukrainian liberals, neo-Nazis and the war lobby! Critical Ukrainian voices have too long been suppressed in the West.

“A significant portion of Ukraine’s cultural and academic intelligentsia belongs to [a] privileged group, [many of whom] have received exemptions from military service while continuing their professional activities uninterrupted. In return, the state expects ideological loyalty and intellectual labour in support of the war effort. This includes promoting ‘decolonisation’ narratives that often amount to anti-Russian ethnonationalism. It also means deliberately ignoring the deep penetration of far-right groups into the military, and remaining silent about the normalisation of Nazi symbols within parts of the armed forces. But, most importantly, it means justifying coercive mobilisation as a necessary instrument of national survival in what is routinely described as an ‘existential war’”.

Attempts to suppress opposition to genocide by elevating the feelings of one small part of our community over the rest, thru lawfare, institutional enforcement and new legislation, will change society in a very fundamental way - it will permanently suppress and criminalise personal conscience, and that is fascism.

This battle being waged across the west in order to restore unshakeable impunity for Israel - contrary to international law - and to recapture control of the narrative must be seen for what it is: fear the loss of public support may result in the loss of political support and the flow of bombs, and result in sanctions instead.

Zionism instils non negotiable loyalty and insecurity and we must all pay the price - including Jews who disagree.

The postmodern democracy is a joke. All front figures are the pure fakes. Starmer or Trump or Macron are just actors. Nothing else. The real wight of their influence on the history is strictly zero. There is an iron invisible hand behind the curtain that does everything.

[Marta Havryshko @HavryshkoMarta]

Zelensky was elected on a promise to end the war.
He claimed he was willing to kneel before Putin if that would bring peace.

Instead, intimidated by Azov and other extremist zealots and pressured by his Western backers, he led Ukraine into the deadliest conflict Europe has witnessed since World War II.

Ukraine became a battlefield, a laboratory, and a proxy in a geopolitical struggle far larger than itself. Hundreds of thousands have paid the ultimate price.

And now he tells us he cries.

Spare us the tears. Accountability—not sympathy—is what history may ultimately demand.
-----
Q: When was the last time you cried?

Zelensky: I will try to do it after our interview…

It's always difficult for me when I give orders, and mothers and fathers lose their children.

In such moments, I often cry.

🧵 Here is the TRUTH: Dangerous gain-of-function research was funded by the U.S. government around the world, directed and approved by people like Dr Fauci. @DNIGabbard exposed that yesterday.

Using U.S. government data, put together and uncovered by career subject matter experts in the Intelligence Community and other government agencies, yesterday’s release highlighted one example of the many overseas biolabs funded by the U.S., the research conducted there, and the significant risks they pose to the world, especially when located in a country at war.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.

In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

This is genuinely incredible and says SO SO MUCH about the perception of China in the West.

This is the #1 news show in France, and the host - David Pujadas - asks the pundits around the table (a sample of the top media figures in France) if they can name 3 living Chinese people.

That's it: they just need to say the names of 3 living Chinese people, anyone. This should be extremely easy.

Yet not of a single one of them can name a single Chinese beyond Xi Jinping. They do not know a single living Chinese person beyond the president.

That's the level of ignorance of China we're dealing with in the West today, in 2026.
