🚨 New episode of Dictators v Democrats: Why We Fight 🎙️. We sit down with legendary war reporter John Sweeney @johnsweeneyroar from Chechnya to Kyiv, he’s seen how lies, nostalgia & digital warfare fuel tyranny. Putin, Trump, Brexit, bots — and why truth still matters. 🔗.

Wow, wow, wow.

@johnsweeneyroar @UNReliefChief @LaraTch If you forgive me, a question which has more attention in French media in connection to Ukraine, Biden campaign implications but which I seldom see discussed in any anglo forum: what do you @johnsweeneyroar make of the fact that Oct 7th is Putin’s birthday, &death of Anna P. ?.

@johnsweeneyroar @UNReliefChief John, in your outrage righteous as it may be you misrepresent to your many followers what I typed. If you think the report by an experienced journalist that I attempt to interest you in is wrong on the facts, perhaps you might specify what the error is and take it up with her.

Our father, Derk Sauer, has passed away. It’s an immeasurable loss, and no words can truly capture what a remarkable father and husband he was. He dedicated his life to defending independent Russian media. In his final days, he asked that people continue to support the free press

Recognition of the state of Palestine should not be used as a bargaining chip. It should have happened months ago. We also need far greater action to stop the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, including fully ceasing arms sales and implementing sanctions against the Israeli cabinet.

Thunder so loud it's setting off car alarms in Kyiv. Not entirely pleasant considering it sounds pretty much exactly like incoming missiles.

@johnsweeneyroar Excellent read.

@johnsweeneyroar Phrasing John! 😂.

Henley & Partners’ wealth migration reports have been reported all over the world, both to prove both that there's a massive exodus of wealth from the UK and that there isn't. Our forensic review finds the data riddled with anomalies - and in key places looks fabricated:

The 1942 Burma campaign was more than a military defeat; it was seen as a defeat of empire. The catastrophic retreat, particularly the challenges faced by Indian refugees and accusations of racial discrimination during evacuation, had a lasting impact on British imperial

Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.
