Reposted by John HoranEUvsDisinfo @euvsdisinfo.eu · 30/09/2026Kremlin-affiliated outlets continue framing EU member states as warmongers unwilling to end the war. In reality, Russia rejected seven peace proposals last year alone, while Europe’s increased defence spending is a response to the growing Russian threat. 49139

John Horan @flornight.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I also think he saw himself as being on par with world leaders (and in some cases, they were deferential to him) and I don’t think he would have tolerated Donald Trump stepping on his toes. 140
Reposted by John HoranAndy Bruce (Reuters) @bruceandy.bsky.social · 05/07/2026My view that no-one asked for: 1. Shitty red cards are part of the game. Infuriating and can change tournaments but... that's life 2. Football is corrupt, mostly in institutional sense: money, governance. Duh. 3. Pres calling up FIFA is a bit different: state power to tilt a sporting process 56710

John Horan @flornight.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Re the football/music bit; think it can be summed up largely by Man Utd and Madchester. Birmingham has produced Black Sabbath, Duran Duran, The Streets etc, but never had a moment like early 90s Manchester. 240
John Horan @flornight.bsky.social · 27/06/2026It’s fascinating how that became an automatic response to suggestions that Britain should have an elected HoS rather than a monarch. For one thing, would he even win? 020
John Horan @flornight.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Also, and correct me if I’m wrong, but defence spending is as much about readiness and deterrence as it is about actually fighting a war. 030
