I dag har Israel blokkert all nødhjelp til Gaza. Dette rammer over to millioner sivile, hvorav 70% er kvinner og barn, og er et alvorlig brudd på folkeretten. - Å bruke blokkering av nødhjelp som en krigsmetode og politisk utpressing er uakseptabelt, sier Raymond Johansen bit.ly/4hZrC43

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Donald Trump sacks America’s top military brass The navy chief, the air force second-in-command and military lawyers have all been fired, too

One of the more alarming announcements, given the Trump administration’s trashing of conventions across the federal government, was the dismissal of the most senior lawyers of the army, navy and air force econ.st/41CNv3H

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

On Ukraine, Europe must step into the void | Virgin

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

“I thoughts there were some brakes on the system, but I was wrong.” One year since Alexei Navalny’s suspicious death, political opposition in Russia is more repressed than ever. Here’s what’s going on: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."
