Revived this old twitter account mostly for 🇺🇦 news. 🇹🇼 🇸🇾 🇭🇰 🇵🇸
Spent last night meeting with @ProgressiveVic's leadership and volunteers to talk Ukraine. About setting standards to support truly anti-war candidates that won't abandon Ukraine. Talked as well about our new @TrackUkraine project, which we will launch next week. Good work ahead.
This is the largest number of Israeli airstrikes at once on Beirut since the beginning of the war. #Lebanon
It is unfortunate that the UN Security Council has once again failed to demonstrate effectiveness and act decisively in the face of such a global threat as the Iranian regime's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. No one should be allowed to block such globally significant sea lanes or undermine the security of dozens of nations through terrorist attacks against the freedom of navigation. We faced a similar challenge in the Black Sea when the Russians attempted to block our ports and civilian shipping—Russia was trying to suffocate our economy. And we found a way to solve that problem through decisive action, not inaction. Now, we see a similar problem on a global scale. The Strait of Hormuz must remain open to all vessels that sustain vital economy lifelines and maintain normal international trade. Countries in the region have spoken clearly on this, and we support the aspirations of the people of the Middle East and the Gulf for peace. Peace and security in this region directly impact stability, market predictability, and the cost of living in every single country. Such problems and this war must not be prolonged. The world needs a functional UNSC that acts more decisively to resolve acute security challenges of global magnitude.
Hasan responds to those calling out his past Crimea take "Buddy, no one f'in cares..the irony is like my Crimea position is like established as fact now..idk why there are still Ukrainian influencers that are like, oh its our opportunity to f'in once again talk about Hasan and claim he's like super pro Putin" "This is a lost cause..in some ways it's identical to the way ppl talk about Israel, and like defending Israel in the western world..it's so ridiculous"
The New York Times is now describing Iran's very normal acts of self-defense - shooting down American jets that are BOMBING THEIR FUCKING COUNTRY - as an "escalation from Iran's leadership." Completely unhinged to publish stuff like this.
Did CodePinks humanitarian festival cause a blackout in Havana, Cuba?
Statement with @eucopresident on the Druzhba pipeline Following the renewed Russian strikes on January 27 on the Druzhba pipeline, leading to the interruption of crude oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia, we have engaged in intense discussions with Member States and Ukraine at all levels to restore the flow of oil to Hungary and Slovakia. The EU has offered Ukraine technical support and funding. The Ukrainians have welcomed and accepted this offer. European experts are available immediately. Our priority is to ensure energy security for all European citizens. In this sense, we will continue to work with the concerned parties on alternative routes for the transit of non-Russian crude oil to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
Amazing news. Qatar 🇶🇦 has also said it will buy the M-SAM-II, and S.Korea is considering urgently supplying SAM batteries at the request of the UAE, Saudi, and Iraq, a government official said. Also, the UAE requested interceptor missiles immediately and that S.Korea was considering sending some of its stockpile urgently. What this conflict demonstrates is that very few countries in the world possess ballistic missile interception systems capable of mass supplying them, yet the rate at which interceptors are consumed is terrifying. This is because essentially any high-value BM and drone threat must be intercepted equally, and some BM targets require multiple interceptors to be assigned at once. While it is true that S.Korea is mass-producing various kinds of missiles, there are limits to their supply as the ROK Air Force, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq have all ordered M-SAM-II batteries and interceptors simultaneously in bulk. Anyway, not only M-SAM-II but also we hope the L-SAM, L-SAM-II, LAMD, and M-SAM-III are to be sold to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Iraq soon.
Disappointing that Ukraine, a victim of Russian aggression who expects international support, now endorses Israeli/US aggression against Iran
