@yermolenko_v Eisenhower said that there is no path to victory except through our imaginations. We in the West need to be able to imagine strength wielded in the cause of moral justice. Ukraine shows us all the way. You are the shining example for others to follow.
@simon_schama@herotimeszero “Propaganda addresses itself… only to the most superficial aspect of a spectacular event.” Jacques Ellul. Superficiality in a time of unprecedented disaster is the hallmark of the current US administration unfortunately.
@policecommander We need to call for some kind of media strike. All the still sentient adults stop watching the news, especially the BBC, for a week. We want real news, not breathless manufactured outrage
@MattChorley@davidyelland Saw this comment from @TimothyDSnyder and thought of you… “But those in media who choose to treat propaganda as the story, to begin from lies rather than from events, are also complicit.” You’re a good journalist Matt. Stop mistaking gossip for facts
@davetroy@EdwardGLuce Genuine request. Please can you point me in the direction of the article on this subject. The point about the nature of money is one I’ve made myself- it feels like an attempt to privatise what’s always been a very public resource
@teresahak@mccaffreyr3 No need to be ashamed. We love America and appreciate all the times we’ve gone through together. But the security partnership is over unfortunately. An unreliable ally is no ally at all. That’s reality now 🤷♂️
@ruth_deyermond An unreliable security partner is a fatal oxymoron. The remaining NATO members have to reconfigure into something new for their own survival. That’s necessary no matter who’s in government on either side of the Atlantic
@IAPonomarenko As Ukraine increasingly takes the advantage in 2026, Putin will start depicting the Russians as victims. Unfortunately it will probably work as people forget Russia started this aggressive war unilaterally
@NickCohen4 The BBC have long since accepted that the licence fee will soon be history. Sucking up to the right wing is an unfortunate part of their future strategy
@JimmySecUK@Ania_In_UA Sultana is a prime example of the Upton Sinclair quote. 'It is difficult to get a person to understand something, when their salary depends on them not understanding it.'
@ruth_deyermond From the White House doc…
“Violations of U.S. sanctions may result in the imposition of civil or criminal penalties on U.S. and foreign persons. OFAC may impose civil penalties for sanctions violations…”
It’s a nothingburger. Just more dead cat nonsense to distract the media
@SvenErikAnderse@GLandsbergis@Kasparov63@politico Great article. I agree with every word.
1982. Britain sent a naval task force of ships, aircraft and troops to the South Atlantic and fought a fully mechanised conflict. It was overwhelmingly popular with the British public. It can be done with some political skill and courage
