Paddington, pints and the art of modern diplomacy '48 times the Japanese ambassador made us proud to be British,” gushes one typical headline.

Commentary: Japanese diplomats like Hiroshi Suzuki, the ambassador to the U.K., are using social media, humor and local culture to build influence, win hearts and project soft power in ways traditional diplomacy cannot.

NATO countries are cowards. Plain and simple. Apparently, they have no problem taking down Iranian drones launched by Iran, but they can’t take down Iranian drones launched by russia — even when they enter NATO airspace.

Every MAGA accusation is a confession

‼️ Shahed kamikaze drones launched by Iran toward Cyprus were partially manufactured in Russia using western components.

Video footage shows a Russian-made “Kometa” satellite navigation module recovered from one of the Shahed drones used in the attack.

Dear NAFO fellas,

We’re a family, right? I want to help one of our family members, and I would really appreciate your support.

I’m asking for your help in raising funds for @joajuan2.bsky.social. Joanna has stood firmly with Ukraine, and now she’s battling cancer. She needs us.

Please do not forget that, amid all of this, the people of Iran have had no access to the internet since the war began.

For more than 60 hours, under bombardment, they cannot communicate with the outside world or with each other, have no idea what is going on, and cannot receive evacuation notices.

A serie of airstrikes was just conducted by the Israeli Air Force in Dahieh suburb of Beirut, Lebanon. #Israel

We must not forget Ukraine for a second.

We must not get distracted by the maga mullah fight.

We must make ruzzia, the enabler of the mullahs AND of magas, disappear.

Ruzzia is, currently, quite the mother of all evil.

Confirmed by now 😁

'Clearing up the mess' — Ukraine's oil and gas giant gets new supervisory board The new board comes amid a renewed push to reform Ukraine’s state-owned enterprises, which dominate the energy, banking, and infrastructure sectors.

After more than a month-long delay, Ukraine’s government on March 2 appointed a new supervisory board for state-owned oil and gas giant Naftogaz, replacing a controversial ex-official recently charged with embezzling millions of dollars.
