Do you know what Reagan did when he saw the USSR's war in Afghanistan? Maybe he ran around shouting, "Don't upset a nuclear power!" or tried to see the world through Andropov's eyes? No, he called the USSR an immoral empire of evil that was beyond reason and that needed to be

@elonmusk @FreeStateFl So at best Trump lied before election and then panicked and instead of admitting his mistake decided to blame Ukraine for it. At worst the reports of him being Putin’s stooge were correct. There is no good explanation for Trump and Vance doing what they do about Ukraine.

GeoConfirmed UKR - Misinformation by President Trump. While we typically refrain from political commentary, President Donald Trump's recent statement regarding the war in Ukraine is so egregious that we feel compelled to respond. Several claims made by President Trump have

@godblesstoto @biologycounts It is very telling that the Left fears so much that people see what the result of their policy was of calling everyone who raised the question “far right” and “Islamophobic”.

Typical for “Covid warriors”. I put a small comment, @DaniBeckman answered and immediately blocked my access. Other Covid panickers continue to answer my short message but I can’t answer them.
@DaniBeckman This kind of indicates that a lot of cases of so-called “long Covid” are psycho-somatic.

Interesting how those who hate Twitter after Musk took over have a tendency of not simply blocking those who dislike them, but doing it after answering every post. Example: @nicolas_frankel For example I usually just let someone who annoys me to have the last word…

This is absolutely cringe. Angela Rayner giving in to Islamic sectarianism by solely focusing on Gaza here. Begging for their votes. No mention on any everyday issues which affect us in the UK. Pathetic.

Hi, I’m a lawyer. Do want to know what is really meant by a “#proportionate response” under international law? Then read on - and feel free to ask questions! Under International Humanitarian Law, #proportionality requires that any degree of damage (up to and including death) to

Why are there even places called “refugee camps” in Gaza? And why are two thirds of the people living in Gaza, who were born there and lived there their entire lives, called “refugees” from a war that ended more than seven decades ago? The answers to these question unlock the

Years ago I saw a documentary that included a young woman whose infant son was murdered by Taliban. A man grabbed the baby, threw him against a wall and then tossed him in a fire before her eyes. She hadn't spoken since then, and her family took care of her. She was essentially

“You don’t need to specify a type in a variable declaration. Use var. You can move the cursor over it to see the type.” If I move the mouse over it to see the type then I have to remember it. You can’t see the type looking at a PR.

In 2018, Trump made outrageous claims about German energy at the UN, and the German delegation’s reaction was priceless. 🇩🇪 FM laughing on the video suggested later that Europe needs Nord Stream 2 because the lack of it could drive 🇷🇺 & 🇨🇳 closer together. https://t.co/1ES42J7xEz

Correct. But it lacks the context. On the same day, June 30 the Donetsk People's Republic ruler Pushilin signed the order № 338 prohibiting the free entrance of humanitarian aid from Russia to the DPR. NB: Much (most?) of this aid was not really humanitarian, but army supplies🧵
The Kremlin proposed an amendment to federal laws on Russian Armed Forces supply matters to the Russian State Duma on June 30 introducing “special measures in the economic sphere” obliging Russian businesses (regardless of ownership) to supply Russian special military operations.
