Exactly

Research by the Lancet has established 500,000 people worldwide die each year as a result of sanctions, the bulk of which are imposed by the Political West Fully aware of this the EU announces its intention to impose more sanctions on Iran

Margaret Hodges, committed supporter of Israel, says there it does not matter that an Ambassadorial candidate had no diplomatic experience No wonder we are in a mess with attitudes like this

While EU states publicly distance themselves from Trump, they have just announced a new batch of sanctions on Iran and decided not to sanction Israel They have abandoned all morality in their foreign policy. This is power politics. Nothing else

This is an excellent summation of the extent to which the Israeli lobby has infiltrated every level of the US Govt

The EU refuses to sanction Israel but makes a 90 billion euro loan so Ukrainians & Russians continue to die in a pointless war

Amnesty International accused the EU of “a moral failure” that showed “brazen contempt for civilian lives, particularly in the occupied Palestinian territory and in Lebanon”. This is as clear as day yet Brussels refuses to criticise its ally Israel

Germany said “We have to talk with Israel about the critical issues. That has to be done in a critical, constructive dialogue with Israel.” And yet Germany refuses to talk to Russia to bring a non violent solution to the Ukraine War. Double standards

Kathleen Van Brempt, a Socialist vice-chair of the EU parliament spoke on Israel. “The failure by both the European Commission & EU member states to act appropriately according to international law, human rights and its own values & beliefs is making Europe complicit in the war crimes and crimes"

The EU's Kaja Kallas said the EU would add to wide-ranging restrictions on Iran by adopting new sanctions on Iranians involved in limiting free navigation through the strait of Hormuz. At the same time the EU rejects a proposal to suspend association agreement with Israel Zionism in Brussels?

The days of the EU as moral force for global leadership and values are over It is clear for all to see www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

EU foreign ministers reject proposal to suspend association agreement with Israel Of course they do www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The USA by contrast drops bombs and not just under the Trump Presidency either

After the Cold War US time served diplomats who had honed their statecraft over years of service were replaced by wealthy corporate directors who donated to either US party & were rewarded with Ambassadorships, with disastrous results Mandelson shows the danger of Political Ambassadorships for UK

the EU’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, to say “a positive decision” on the €90bn loan could be reached in the next 24 hours A peaceful resolution to this war would cost much less than €90bn. Non violent conflict resolution is the key But the military industrial complex does not like that

While the media concentrates on the Starmer’s Mandelson disaster, just a reminder that Israel is still ethnically cleansing Palestinians in The West Bank and killing Palestinians in Gaza by drone strikes Do not forget the Palestinians

I do find it remarkable that Starmer, a former Director of Public Prosecutions, was comfortable with Mandelson’s appointment as US Ambassador without completion of security clearance Seriously?

Would a teacher be placed in a school before background & criminal record checks? So how come a senior ambassador‘s position was?

As far as Mandelson is concerned, how on earth can it be best practice for a senior diplomatic post to be announced before security vetting was completed?

Interesting that Ollie Robins used to work for Hakluyt a lobbying company that has had senior fossil fuel executives on its board & has advised Thames Water on how to avoid privatisation Murky world riddled with conflicts of interest

BBC continues to inform us that reporting from Iran is subject to government restrictions without mentioning reports from Israel are subject to military censorship Zionist influence?

a reminder the uk labour govt banned kanye west for his racism BUT they are allowing this islamophobe into the country though so when any minister or mp claims they fight racism just remember they are lying they have a hierarchy of racism and it's blatant for all to see

Americans are done funding the war criminal system that keeps targeting, killing, & traumatizing Palestinians, whether there’s a sham “ceasefire” in place or not. Together, we can unseat the cowards who created this system & fight for candidates whose campaigns aren’t for sale.

Canada is a fully paid up member of the Political West as is Israel In this context this decision is unsurprising

Nonsense The biggest foreign malign interests in the UK are from US corporations such as BlackRock & Palantir and Israel

That Starmer is a Liar is no surprise! But how many more liars, how many bent politicians or dishonest PMs are we going to accept?

Two years too late

Dr. Gerdes holds undergraduate degrees in government and psychology from Liberty University. He received his MBA, MA in Public Policy, and his Ph.D.in Organizational Leadership from Regent University Qualifications in international politics, war conflict, military science? Not so much ……

Brave man

I don’t believe a word Keir Starmer says

A nato member displaying neo colonial attitudes

It would be cheap and in everyone’s interest to work for a peaceful pan European security architecture But you guys celebrate forever wars

The UK "condemns" attacks on UN peacekeepers while maintaining military collaboration with an Israeli state attacking UN peacekeepers. Does the Foreign Office think no-one is noticing their rank, daily hypocrisy?

Yeh the man that launched three violent government overthrows in Libya, Syria, and Ukraine causing 100s of thousands of death displacement and failed states Yeh some president

Precisely

This is how taxpayer funds from welfare budgets are seamlessly diverted to armament companies profits They look distressed don’t they? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There you go guys Taxpayer funds are seamlessly diverted from welfare funding to to offshore armament company profits They look so distressed www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

After 4.5 yrs of disastrous war, have you ever thought of using diplomacy rather than continuous escalation? You are a diplomat after all

That’s why he is there

Think NATO – an organisation made up of former colonial powers that inflicted appalling slaughter, asset colonialism & settler colonialism on the global south – some for over 400 years – has morphed into an organisation of peace human rights & international justice in just a few years? Hmmm..

Robinson's interests Cohen Group – Washington based Think Tank Lobby Group with presence in Armaments Chatham House – UK based think tank funded by armaments companies Atlantic Council – Nato think tank German Marshall Fund – a vehicle to promote US influence in Eastern Europe Conflict of Interest

The Zionist influence at the BBC is clear for all to see But is usually much more subtle than this We pay to be propagandised

The unique way in which the BBC is funded means you either pay to have your head filled with propaganda, royal news and triumphalist pish about WW2, or aren’t allowed to watch live telly

Your understanding & humanity is light years ahead of the likes of him 😎

Make a note of this name… Shameful sell off, first by Thatcher of our national assets with the resultant negligible infra structure, investment and profiteering.. Freeports (Economic Zones) are also being flogged off for a song. Michael Gove is heavily involved, so corruption rules as ever.

“Nazis were very patriotic nationalists, patriotism is not necessarily nationalism. “ Jesus Do you realise what you have said here?

So the pretence of intellectual debate breaks down You have accused me of a range of falsehoods - all of which I have dealt with. In addition you have made claims and then deleted them when confronted You now resort to insults . There is only a downward trajectory from here Bye bye

I never said I was one of those thinkers. I claim no credit for their thinking. I have just studied them at advanced level & am influenced by them I commented on the depth of understanding you claim from youth compared to diplomats & lawyers responsible for the concepts you disparage & dismiss

Interesting that you dismiss the principles of the UN Charter and the OSCE as being thoughts you had when you were 8 Some of the greatest thinkers on collective peace & security produced the UN Charter & the OSCE but you knew better from the age of 9
