2020 - Trump attempts to overturn an election. 2025 - his Vice-President tries to lecture European leaders on Democracy. The Irony.

Putin weaponises migration - creating migration flows to the benefit of populists who exploit anti-immigration sentiment while, more often than not, aligning with Putin.

Russia didn't 'lose interest' in Syria, they were unable to resource their ambition and caught by surprise. Let's not provide cover for Putin's humiliation.

Anyone arguing that Russian access to the Syrian naval base at Tartus or the airfield at Latakia is not of major strategic benefit to Russia is covering for Putin. They are the two key facilities to project Russian power into the Mediterranean. W/o them, Russia is much weaker.

Humiliating times for Russia’s ambitions in the Middle East. It's intervention in Syria was lauded by many as a decisive, masterstroke by Putin - a symbol of Russian revival. Perhaps time to revise the verdict...

FBI, together with international partners, disrupted Kremlin's AI bot farm spreading anti-Ukraine sentiments. Reminder to everyone: there is no need to debate with the crypto/"US patriot" accounts on X, unless you're interested in arguing with AI. Fortunately, they're not yet here.

This has led to a absurd situation, in which Orbán is considered a rock star in the US even though his political decisions and EU voting is undermining the American interests in the geopolitical arena. But hey, at least he´s "anti-woke"! Ping: @marcthiessen 24/24

No-one will stop Putin with phone calls. The attack last night, one of the biggest in this war, has proved that telephone diplomacy cannot replace real support from the whole West for Ukraine. The next weeks will be decisive, not only for the war itself, but also for our future.

This is spot on from @ioponomarenko.bsky.social Not only has the Biden administration’s ‘escalation terror’ prolonged this war, and given Putin time to mobilise, it has emboldened others like Iran & China who now perceive the U.S. & the West now have little stomach to defend the post-WW2 order.
