"Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder" - Arnold J. Toynbee The USA's impotence and imminent capitulation to Trump serves as living proof of this. This would be trump's ultimate legacy: the 7th major bankruptcy, and the masterpiece of a lifelong con man.

@OrkReaper @kajakallas Yes to replace Rutte Over my dead body to replace him w. the woman who, as top EU diplomat, showed no spine in face of the killings of thousands of Palestinian children & civilians, or Iranian children, or Lebanese children. She should never have any NATO or another EU function.

Time to replace Mark Rutte as the head of NATO for someone who actually represents the alliance and not "daddy". To that end I Vote @kajakallas who has an actual grasp of what's going on.

BREAKING: World Food Programme warns Lebanon is rapidly heading towards a food security crisis as the war on Iran disrupts supply chains and limits access to essential food supplies.

@Newsweek Well...it's been like that for some time already. Visible from space. Even Kim Jong Un would be jealous of the 24/7 worship service the GOP & Admin provides at the feet of Trump. It’s the kind of thing you’d watch out of morbid curiosity if it didn’t make you want to gag.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has said she thinks the Republican Party has "turned into a cult." #Echobox=1775746960" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newsweek.com/marjorie-taylo…

@GenXGirl1994 IMHO : if Israel stops killing or oppressing non-Jewish people in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, Iran, and try to live in peace with them, treating them like humans not garbage, everything will be OK. I watched members of 🇮🇱 Parliament & Gov. screaming to kill all children in Gaza.

They’re panicking.

Iran has marked 40 days since a US-Israeli air strike on a girls' school in Minab killed 168 people, mostly children. An event was held to grieve and commemorate them at their gravesites.

🇱🇧 Lebanon: one of the most diverse countries in the world.

@NurdieFreiheit @AJEnglish I didn't hear anything anti-semitic or pro-terror. She said: Free Palestine. IMO, that's not anti-semitic. Why are you lying?

@AJEnglish Why is she shouting antisemitic and pro-terror propaganda ? We don’t need that in Germany.

A German police officer was filmed covering the mouth of a woman chanting slogans in support of Palestine as she was detained during a protest in Berlin. The demonstration was held in support of civilians facing Israeli attacks in Gaza and Lebanon.

🎥 CCTV footage from Kayfoun, in Lebanon’s Aley District southeast of Beirut, shows the moment an Israeli strike hit a residential area on April 8, as a person pushing a stroller and two young girls walked just meters away. The blast engulfs the street in smoke; the girls appear to escape, while the stroller and the person pushing it are caught in the strike. The attack in Kayfoun killed at least six people and wounded 13, part of a wave of roughly 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across Lebanon, in what Israel called “Operation Eternal Darkness,” and which killed over 300 people.

@ZelenskyyUa 🇨🇦 is also a key NATO member and it will remain so.

If the United States truly thinks about withdrawing from NATO, then European security will be based solely on the European Union. But not in its current form. I think that the EU is in a situation where it needs more countries. The UK, Ukraine, Türkiye, and Norway. These are four strong countries, which are part of Europe. Together, the UK, Ukraine, and Türkiye have armies that are stronger than Russia's army. Without Ukraine and Türkiye, Europe can’t match Russia. With the four countries on board you can wrest control of the seas, have secure skies and the largest land forces. It’s not about offense, because when Russia makes the decision to have an army of 2.5 million people by 2030, Europe has to think about security and how to preserve its independence. The UK once was a member of the EU. There are concerns about agriculture when it comes to Türkiye. But you can manage all of this if you have a really great economy. But security comes first, economy second. Not vice versa. From an interview on The Rest Is Politics podcast (5/5).

@Osint613 People should never forget that the current Iranian regime happened because of: - strong 🇺🇲 interference in Iran and - the former Shah of Iran This is a history lesson of the damage the 🇺🇲 always leaves in other countries. And also of what the father of this guy did.

Reza Pahlavi: We never sought military intervention in our country.

Israel murdered my relative yesterday while she was at a pharmacy purchasing medicine for the displaced. Was she a "Hezbollah target"? open.substack.com/pub/raniakhale…

“We are two people who have suffered because we’ve lost our only son, but we’re only two. There are thousands and thousands [in Gaza]. There were 200 aid workers in Gaza that have been killed” Father of Jacob

They’re dragging her all over the internet because she isn’t afraid to speak about Zionist crimes.. She’s so unbothered by all their noise, I love it.

A Palestinian surivor in Al Bureij camp lost four children in an Israeli air attack, with their bodies still under rubble. Despite the ceasefire, limited rescue efforts continue as thousands remain missing in bombarded Gaza.  Al Jazeera’s @Hind_Gaza reports from the Gaza Strip.

Spain just closed its embassy in Tel Aviv.

@chiky_handlr I am not American, but as citizen of the world I would be grateful if they did this.

JUST IN: A “double impeachment” plan for 2026 is being prepared and could shake up U.S. politics. Do you support impeaching Trump and Vance?

@MarkSeddon1962 The Strait of Hormuz was secure, fine, and open to navigation less than 2 months ago. No threat from Iran The NATO countries don't have to, and mustn't jump to fulfill the idiotic wishes of, and to clean up the mess generated by, a 🤡 who's been played like a fiddle by Netanyahu

Rutte needs to work out whether he is Secretary General of NATO or General Factotum for the malignant narcissist in the White House.
