Russians hit the building of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv with a drone. People are climbing out of windows to escape being burned alive. And the world is watching. Europe is lifting sanctions on russian oligarchs. Trump is asking Ukraine to slow down strikes1/2

Respectfully, I cant take Irish serious in geopolitics - as long as they allow fascist, imperial Russia to operate a large alumina factory in Ireland. Where is EU's lawfare to deal with this? We need to nationalise or sanction these Russian assets yesterday. www.euronews.com/2026/06/08/w...

Why Ireland is under fire over its alumina exports to Russia
Though legal, Ireland's alumina exports to Russia have prompted outrage just as the country prepares to assume the EU Council's presidency. #EuropeNews

In #Zaporizhzhia bombarderen de Russen de volledige economie. Supermarkten, winkelcentra, bouwmarkten, tankstations, restaurants, autowasserettes. “Ze willen ons verjagen uit de stad.”

Radicaal links in Europa is er en het groeit. Net als het idd grotere en nog gevaarlijkere radicaal en extreem rechts. En op een aantal vlakken kan je wel spreken van een 'hoefijzermodel'. Zoals Oekraïne-debat Frankrijk. Een reden voor wel gebruiken is ook gevaar op de loer bsky.app/profile/lepa...

Even if you want to really fix these huge issues on which some of these grievances are founded, you can't do it on a national level. Certainly not now: many countries in Europe are already economically or politically ill, creating a whack-a-mole on the European continent. Does Burnham explain this?

When one is so activistic on Gaza/Israel, you see everything through a narrower lens maybe. Albanese has an idiotic position here regarding Ukraine. Paradoxically, I think UN/Europe/Italy will have a harder time to influence anything in ME if they can't stop an imperial war in Europe

Not sure I agree. Critique should be handled by creating another initiative. Not by throwing mud without any constructive feedback. I think different types of initiatives should be welcomed from all directions and all - preferably indeed mixed - levels of society.
