@MeghanMcCain What would your father have advised you to do? Follow this advice!!

[John OBrien @johnobrien98]

UN reform is urgent and important. Whether it is in the area of preventing wars, human rights, or development assistance, the UN and its specialized agencies are not working as well as they should. The UN audits, evaluates, & investigates itself which is not a recipe for success!

We spent a memorable weekend in the French towns of Le Quesnoy and Arras for #ANZAC
How do these events link to the world today?@diplosphere

@carlworker @Abhas7654321 You were right.

Pedro Sanchez of Spain quote:

"Spain will NOT applaud the country that started a world fire, just because they now turn up with a bucket"

$20 billion USD+ plus spent to open the straits of Hormuz, straits that were open before this conflict started.

[John OBrien @johnobrien98]

The United States has spent some 10 trillion dollars since the cold war began on defence, despite a low probability of being attacked. Yet, the Russians never invaded!! Why doesn't the same argument apply to global warming. Spot on analysis by Carl Sagan.

Many in the west will not like the message below, but at least a moment’s reflection on double standards is warranted. Russia’s aggression against Ukraine was rightly denounced. But few western states call out breaches of international law when the boot is on the other foot.

[Michael Field @MichaelFieldNZ]

As Foreign Minister Winston Peters @NewZealandMFA flies off to Washington, note that this ship, HMNZS Aotearoa, is strongly desired by the United States for its resupply at sea capability. Watch closely, Aotearoa NZ might soon by in the Straits of Hormuz

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

A powerful commentary by Sky News US correspondent, @jamesmatthewsky on the increasingly erratic and thuggish behaviour displayed by Donald Trump. It’s refreshing to hear a mainstream media journalist speak out like this rather than turning a blind eye.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

This is embarrassing, Delete it, President ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ - unless you want everyone to think you’ve lost your marbles.

[John OBrien @johnobrien98]

@HelenClarkNZ The world of 1979 when Winston Peters entered parliament almost half a century ago is not the world of 2026. New Zealand of 1979 is not the New Zealand of 2026. We would be much better off by pursuing an even handed independent values based foreign policy!

[Richie Floyd @richiejfloyd]

I wish we lived in a world where I didn't feel constantly compelled to post this video, but until then here's Tony Benn speaking on war with clarity and moral conviction that you won't see from the evil people running the world today

[Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 @TulsiGabbard]

A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for Dick Cheney and a vote for war, war and more war. A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to end wars, not start them. We are at a historic crossroads. Our God-given rights are under attack. Now is the time for us to stand together, for love of country, and for Donald Trump to get us back on the path to peace, freedom, and prosperity.

@richarddeitsch The US arrested G Max.

[Juanita Broaddrick @atensnut]

How was this man ever a PM?

[John OBrien @johnobrien98]

@MariahCBlake @jkbjournalist What about Andrew Lownie??

[John OBrien @johnobrien98]

Why is the only high profile person here being held to account Andrew Mountbatten Windsor? This is ridiculous. Where are all the others?

[Thames Valley Police @ThamesVP]

Thames Valley Police have opened an investigation into an offence of misconduct in public office.

A man in his sixties from Norfolk has been arrested and remains in police custody. As per national guidance we will not name the arrested man.

Listening to Art Garfunkel sing Scarborough Fair at 80 years old gave me goosebumps. That golden voice never fades… What a legend! 🫶🫶
