Friends, May we never forget that while negotiations,statements, addresses and the rest of the (undoubtedly important) diplomacy track are happening,exhausted #Ukrainian men &women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines. Without them,there would be no diplomacy track at all.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

OTD in 2022 leading geopolitical analyst "Colonel Homsi" reported with amusement Lavrov's invasion denial. Colonel is a good name. Colon. To do with the asshole.

According to Al Araby, Syria has banned the import of goods manufactured in Russia, Israel and Iran. Not looking good for Russia’s chances of keeping their bases in Syria.

DAMASCUS: In the heart of Damascus, panic this moment in the Malki area. Assad's main residence is located here, the area is fortified with regime forces that are now fleeing. This is clearly the regime falling apart at it's very core.

What a great idea!

Senator Tommy Tuberville, Republican of Alabama and a fierce Trump loyalist, called Mr. Patel “the perfect pick.” Once again, Tommy, you made a mistake. A big mistake.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

Why do MAGA and Trump supporters in America give it all the large but when the subject of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine comes up, their balls seem to either fall off or wither and die? Spineless

🇩🇪🇺🇦 Zelensky: About one of today's news. Chancellor Scholz told me that he was going to call Putin. Olaf's call, in my opinion, is Pandora's box. And this is exactly what Putin has wanted for a long time. We want to warn you: "Minsk-3" will not happen - we need real peace.

I thought they wanted to prevent pedophiles having access to government.

In Russian-occupied Abkhazia, protests have erupted as thousands stormed the local parliament, opposing an investment deal with Moscow. The agreement would allow Russian oligarchs to buy land and develop real estate in Abkhazia—something locals fiercely reject, fearing loss of their land.
