Polish President Andrzej Duda with an excellent speech at Ukraine's Peace Summit in Switzerland.

“Russia, called the ‘prison of nations,’ is home to 200+ ethnic groups, most acquired through colonial methods.

Unlike European powers, Russia never decolonized and remains the world's largest colonial empire”

The morality of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is much more muddy than the clear aggressor that is Russian regarding Ukraine. Hence I haven't posted about it before. But how does any Israeli think that denying a whole people basic dignities of decades would not end in tragedy.

[Richard von Kaufmann @richievk]

A more militant power in Gaza provided more rationale for hardcore Israeli nationalists. Hence some have argued the current gov was not incentivised to ameliorate the situation. 7 Oct seemed like a desperate act of tearing the house down to force change – despite the cost to all.

A Russian woman explains to her fellow Russians who they really are - in no uncertain terms - invaders, terrorists and murderers.

I have long been fascinated by what differentiates the many brilliant artists from those that achieve breakout success. I came to see that at the heart of breakout success lies the ability to capture part of the zeitgeist (the spirit of the age). https://t.co/Adv18AktMm

@SamiV Great stuff!

Recently, I met with representatives of African media - newspapers, radio, television... from South Africa 🇿🇦, Nigeria 🇳🇬, Kenya 🇰🇪, Uganda 🇺🇬, Ghana 🇬🇭, Benin 🇧🇯, Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮. They were not only in Kyiv, but also in Kherson region and Bucha, where they talked to the families of the victims of this war.

Every time journalists from other countries come to Ukraine and see the consequences of Russian aggression with their own eyes, they return home with the truth about this war. And we speak with them during interviews not in English or French, we speak the language of truth, and this helps us a lot to keep and increase the world's attention to Ukraine, to our struggle for freedom.

We talked to African media, among other things, about the situation with grain exports and Russian aggression against global food stability.

And I am grateful to everyone in the world media who honestly tells their audience what they see in our region, in our country.

@Bazza73617427 @skisidjames @guyverhofstadt Fair enough. My point is more that to even vaguely equate (given the context) Chinese legislation to that of the EU is ridiculous. Or maybe the point should have been made else where to avoid the association. Interested to know what radical changes @skisidjames would propose.
