In saying that Europe faces ”civilizational erasure” the Trump 🇺🇸 new security strategy places itself to the right of the extreme right in Europe. Its language that one otherwise only finds coming out of some bizarre minds of the Kremlin 🇷🇺.

Can't think of another example of a global power so demonstratively burning its assets and destroying its influence, in a single document
1/ The new US National Security Strategy blames 'undemocratic' European governments for failing to make peace with Russia, takes a pro-Russian position on NATO, reflects white nationalist views on European demographics, and pledges overt support for far-right parties. ⬇️

Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record. https://t.co/Xfj2t7FGUv

Let's all hope this account of brutal Israeli torture is incorrect. Marwan Barghouti is the single most admired Palestinian leader, according to opinion polls, and some Israeli security officials have suggested releasing him to have a pro-peace leader to negotiate with.
The son of the Palestinian prisoner leader Marwan Barghouti wrote: “I woke up this morning to a call from a freed prisoner. He told me that my father, Marwan Barghouti, was physically tortured: his teeth and ribs were broken, part of his ear was cut off, and his fingers were

The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan. Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities. Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in

Please read this poignant article on life and death and about the final passage of a wonderful man, David Malone who served our nation with honor. I will remember David as a kind, brilliant and generous civil servant to those of us who worked on foreign affairs in Parliament.

Rather than ensure Israel’s survival, unconditional US support has enabled the worst instincts of Israeli leaders, yielding "the relentless increase in illegal Israeli settlements and settler violence in the West Bank and mass civilian casualties in Gaza."
