Proud of my former colleagues in @Europarl_EN. @RenewEurope are right: now is the time for Europe, all of free Europe, to act. EU and UK must act in concert in support of Ukraine. @ALDEParty @LibDems

@MaryLTrump @Paul68958640 Nor does it help if you have spent the last year insulting your longstanding allies, threatening to take over Greenland etc.. After 9/11 NATO fought on behalf of the US, rightly so. NATO is a defensive, not an offensive alliance.

@MaryLTrump It’s also what happens when you ask allies for help after bullying and threatening them, insulting thir leaders and war dead, lying about their willingness to come to the aid of the US and not consulting them before going to war. Unsurprisingly they tell you you’re on own, mate.

Every single country Donald asked for help in reopening the Strait of Hormuz rejected his appeal. That's what happens when you're dealing from a position of abject weakness.

❗️❗️❗️ Today, tens of thousands of supporters of the opposition party TISZA, which opposes Orbán, took to the streets in Budapest, the capital of Hungary—- 🇭🇺 Parliamentary elections in Hungary will be held on April 12… Preliminary information indicates that Péter Madiar's opposition bloc leads the current ruling party by more than 10% in the ratings

Budapest today. Spring is coming. LENGYEL MAGYAR két jó barát!

Why would any country do anything for the US as long as Trump remains US president? 1. Trump does nothing for anybody. 2. He lies all the time. 3. He is rude & insults everybody but Putin, Xi, MBS & Kim Jong Un. 4. He never complies with any agreement.

Well, there goes one reason… any semblance of doing it for the Iranian people has gone so what are we left with.. ah… oil!

The good news is that if we lose in Iran and create horror across the region then Jesus comes back and fixes everything. Hegseth Doctrine. jonathanlarsen.substack.com/p/us-troops-we…

We must resist being drawn any further into this illegal war especially if it follows Netanyahu’s Gaza playbook of unequal but unwinnable war with carelessly catastrophic collateral damage to innocent civilians & communities and no plan at all to support new moderate democracy.

In Gaza, Israel treated almost everything as a military target, inflicting general misery so as to weaken Hamas. I fear that the US and Israel might be attempting something similar in Iran, targeting civilian infrastructure like water supply in a way I find unconscionable.

'Made in USA' and Department of Defense codes imprinted on weapons fragments used to make American Tomahawks and seen in photos by Iran near bombed Minab school. Latest story w/ @trbrtc & @johnismay nytimes.com/2026/03/09/wor…

Trump announced lifting of some oil sanctions on Russia. The SAME DAY we send OUR soldiers to defend YOUR bases with weapons developed at the cost of Ukrainian lives, you let those who killed them rebuild their cash reserves so they can kill more of us. FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

Trump says the decision to bomb Iran came after advice from Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff and Pete Hegseth. A real estate developer. A television host. And the president’s son-in-law. Not intelligence chiefs. Not military command. The Middle East 🔥 and the global economy now lives with the consequences of that advice.

How can you applaud this?

BREAKING: Senator Richard Blumenthal emerges ashen-faced from an Iran War briefing and reveals that he has never been so "angry" in his entire 15 career year in Senate. And the details are jaw-dropping... "I emerge from this briefing as dissatisfied and angry, frankly, as I have from any past briefing in my 15 years in the Senate," he told reporters. "I am left with more questions than answers, especially about the cost of the war. However, my questions have been unanswered, and I will demand answers because the American people deserve to know." According to The Washington Post, the United States burned through a staggering $5.6 billion in munitions in just the first two days of the illegal war. This is the same administration that insists that we don't have money for healthcare or social services. "And I guess I am most concerned about the threat to American lives of potentially deploying our sons and daughters on the ground in Iran," Blumenthal continued. "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. And there is also, as disturbingly as anything else, the specter of active Russian aid to Iran, putting in danger American lives." "Literally, Russia seems to be aiding our enemy actively and intensively with intelligence and perhaps with other means. And China also may be assisting Iran," he continued. "So the American people deserve to know much more than this administration has told them about the cost of the war, the danger to our sons and daughters in uniform, and the potential for further escalation and widening of this war, a war of choice made by this president, not chosen by the American people, with potentially huge consequences to American lives," the senator added. That "war of choice" bit is particularly crucial. Trump launched this deadly, evil war on behalf of Israel despite Iran posing no immediate threat to the people of the United States. He's slaughtering men, women, and children and can't even articulate a coherent strategic goal. Meanwhile, he never bothered to get Congressional approval for the war as demanded by the Constitution and he's rapidly burning through our tax dollars. The mere suggestion that we would put boots on the ground in Iran should horrify every American. In addition to being a morally reprehensible action, it would result in the greatest military disaster in U.S. history. Iran has a population of 93 million people, it's four times larger than Iraq and it's all mountains. Our brave soldiers would be walking into a slaughterhouse. Please ❤️ and share to demand an end to the war!

HOW IS THIS NORMAL? Trump on the girls’ school in Minab: “The Tomahawk missile that destroyed it could have been anyone’s. A Tomahawk is very generic.” Facts: Tomahawk missiles are manufactured by RTX in Phoenix, Arizona. The US sells them to exactly four countries: the UK, Australia, Japan, and the Netherlands. None of them are at war with Iran. The White House already confirmed behind closed doors to Congress that the US targeted the area. CNN confirmed US responsibility. 165 girls aged 7-12 are dead. And the President of the United States just told the American people a Tomahawk missile is “very generic.” This is not a mistake. This is not confusion. This is a lie. On camera. About dead children.

Despite there being no threat of any kind, the US submarine sailed away with no attempt to pick up survivors, leaving them to drown. Breaking the first and holiest unwritten law amongst mariners.

Donald Trump- “This isn’t Churchill we’re dealing with.” You’re right. It isn’t. Britain declared war on Nazi Germany in September 1939. For nearly two years before America entered the conflict after Pearl Harbor, Britain and the Commonwealth stood virtually alone against Hitler. London burned in the Blitz. Coventry was flattened. Families slept in Underground stations not knowing if their homes would survive the night. And it wasn’t just Britain. 2.5 million volunteers from the Indian subcontinent, the largest volunteer army in history. Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders. Hundreds of thousands from Africa and the Caribbean. They fought from 1939, in North Africa, in the Atlantic, in Italy, in Burma long before the United States entered the European war. When America did enter, it became decisive but after victory, Britain was financially exhausted. In 1946, we borrowed $3.75 billion from the United States and $1.19 billion from Canada to rebuild a country that had poured everything into defeating fascism. And we honoured that debt. With interest, Britain repaid around $7.5 billion to America and about $2 billion to Canada nearly $10 billion in total. The final payment was made in December 2006. Sixty years after the war ended, Britain was still paying back what it owed. So yes, this isn’t Churchill’s war. But Britain still remembers what standing first looks like.

Good news from Ukraine 🇺🇦. For the first time in nearly three years, Ukraine's Defense Forces liberated more territory than they lost in February 2026. Glory to Ukraine!
