But sending US troops and proxies to West Asia with huge loss of life is cool and normal
The Ukraine war is a hegemonic struggle between nato and Russia Israel is firmly in the NATO camp - a defacto NATO member
Warmest congratulations đđđ
Media covering Chinese military parade today clutching their pearls They do not mention that the USA military budget is higher than military budgets of the next 9 countries combined
The global south see the Ukraine war for what it is - a hegemonic struggle between NATO and Russia . Most are determined to remain neutral. Instructions from old colonial powers telling them who they can & cannot trade with will not end well for the West Western arrogance
Seriously?
Public school, Oxbridge, posh accent, rattle off a few memorised Latin phrases and they think youâre a genius I include Stephen Fry in this group of grifters
Yes very much But also produces industrial strength elitist group think

Scrape below the surface of most geo-political pinch points and invariably you will find Palantir, Black Rock or the Israeli Lobby

So you speak for the world now?
Trump is waging a new illegal war of aggression. This time it is with Venezuela. Trump wants to steal their oil. Biden had to pay for it. If you thought there were WMDs in Iraq, you'll probably believe the Gas-lighter-n-Chief's claims about Venezuela. news.antiwar.com/2025/09/02/t...
While western media obsesses on Chinese military strength, useful to remember that China has not fought a war since 1979 and yesterday USA committed an extra judicial killing in international waters off Venezuela
Dictatorship and fascism rarely prevail overnight. It creeps up on you till you realise you are under its thumb. If you have ANY doubt that this process is unfolding now in the European Union, look into the way in which @hussedogru, a German citizen and journalist. diem25.org/how-the-eu-i...
"digital ID systems lead to the increased surveillance of citizens w/ dire consequences for human rights especially legitimate claims to citizenship from migrant-descended persons" Dr Eve Hayes
Zac Polanski is fearlessly laying in to establishment political stances on refugees, Israel, Austerity & NATO How long will it be before the heavy duty anti-semite smears will begin?
Yes and he doesn't blindly bend the knee to NATO doctrine

@evehayes123.bsky.social Thanks for your scholarly contribution to this emotionally charged debate
UK Government Considers Digital ID Cards as Part of Asylum Reform "digital ID systems lead to the increased surveillance of citizens w/ dire consequences for human rights especially legitimate claims to citizenship from migrant-descended persons" Dr Eve Hayes idtechwire.com/uk-governmen...
Some welcome scholarly contribution to the digital ID debate "digital ID systems lead to the increased surveillance of citizens w/ dire consequences for human rights especially legitimate claims to citizenship from migrant-descended persons" & GB police have bought surveillance systems from Israel
The smug arrogance of the husband of the home secretary as he uses the age old Labour blackmail trick (used for 100 years & counting) "vote for us or get Tories/Reform". When politicians Mrs Ed Balls are sponsored by the Israeli lobby & other Billionaire Oligarchs there really isn't much difference.
Extra judicial execution
Well said
In international law occupied people have the right resist In international law the occupying power has no right of self defence from the occupied There is no equivalence between the Hamas attack and Israelâs genocide

Israel is âmanagingâ the famine in Gaza by targeting aid shipments while allowing some goods to reach local markets only if merchants pay the military an exorbitant fee. The system accomplishes two goals: engineering starvation and creating chaos. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/how-... #Palestine #Israel
It's never been about h@mas and the whole world knows that!
I can't wait for the follow up where they interview 'locals' in Scotland about the ceding of their territory to a foreign power.
Refreshing to listen to a party leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social talking positively about refugees and not cow towing to NATO A good start
Also, worth noting, quite apart from its propagandistic domestic reporting since the start, the BBC literally CANâT tell the truth about the Ukraine war because theyâve been central to the consent manufacturing for it. And, it seems, UK/western/NATO imperial interests in general. Utterly captured.
Thanks for this Simon Indeed interesting But I thought only Russia interfered in other countriesâ elections đ€
How many did you speak to? How valid are your headlines? Well researched and balanced or clickbate?

Oh no Zack was a hypnotist, we had better vote for - The Homeless minister that made her tenants homeless. The anticorruption minister being charged with corruption. The guy in charge of the NHS that is funded by Private Health All the ones paid for by Israel Or the racists and liars
In an interview with the FT on Sunday, von der Leyen said there was a âclear road mapâ for European troop deployments following a peace agreement with Russia. I think you will find Russia will not accept this. European arrogance
In an interview with the FT on Sunday, von der Leyen said there was a âclear road mapâ for European troop deployments following a peace agreement with Russia. Who on earth gave this unelected apparatchik the power to plan European Troop deployments?
Trump is pushing the EU to take over the burden of funding the Ukraine war. US has done more than any other state to destabilise Ukraine and now wants the EU to pay the costs Like obedient puppies Von Der Leyen, Merz, Macron, Starmer agree They agree without consulting their electorates

US Regime change methods. Tried & tested since 1947 1. Control public opinion 2. Appoint the right ambassador 3. Ensure military readiness 4. Squeeze the economy 5. Diplomatically isolate 6. Organise mass protests 7. Instigate the coup 8. Deny Vijay Prashad Venezuela now
Starmerâs mini-reshuffle will help restore the authority that won Labour power Would this be the authority that comes from gaining the votes of 20% of the electorate?
Political economics 101 Practice austerity for long enough you will energise the Far Right But as most centrist parties have more in common with the Far Right than the left, then no one should be surprised at the centrists' love of austerity A self fulfilling prophesy

Across Europe the leading nations are experiencing serious economic and social problems Unpopular leaders like Starmer, Merz Macron distract the electorate from their failures by manufacturing the threat of war with Russia and the threat from refugees The Enemy at the gate theory

British, American & NATO wars in West Asia have caused such profound trauma, economic devastation & loss of life we should of course open our doors to those fleeing the consequences of Western aggression

The possibility of an assassination routed in Ukrainian internecine disputes between Ukrainian extreme ethno-nationalist factions are dismissed Poor journalism
If so that would not be surprising to me
Ah good Thanks for the update
I assume these people can be identified and reported to the authorities?
Refusing to meet NATO's 5% of GDP spending target will be a positive feature going forward also
No, I do no intend to get used to this, it will normalise bigotry and racism and enable the fascists.
What evidence would that be?
History re-written
Ever heard of provocation?

NATO the military alliance that has aggressively fought wars in Kosovo, Libya, Iraq, & Afghanistan promoting regime change, wants to push its border right up to yours and tells you there is nothing to fear

Nonsense US interference in other states is factual and evidenced by a wealth of academic peer reviewed research No other state comes any where near it post 45
The state that has interfered in the internal affairs and elections of other countries more than any other by a country mile is the USA Turn your attention westwards
Disgusting police behaviour Israel has many allies in Europe. Particularly among NATO states
German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said he expected that Russia would only stop its war against Ukraine once it could no longer wage it for economic and military reasons Nonsense and lies Let Ukraine be a neutral country with no NATO membership and the war would be over
