I would urge everyone to read this thread from @TNInstitute based on @SIPRIorg figures. EU military spending up 183% from one year to next. That's the EU alone. Not including Member States' individual military spending. Militarism does not make us safer; it makes us less safe.
RT @TNInstitute: Global military spending is at an all-time high.

New data from @SIPRIorg reveals that states spent $2.24 trillion in 2022, up 3.7% on the previous year.

Worldwide military spending is already at record highs and continues to rise. There is an urgent need for deescalation, diplomacy and disarmament if the world is to avoid a general conflict.
RT @SIPRIorg: World military expenditure rose by 3.7% in real terms in 2022, to reach a record high of $2240 billion. Global spending grew by 19% over the decade 2013–22 and has risen every year since 2015. New SIPRI data on #MilitarySpending out now.

If MEPs actually read the @IPCC_ch report you'd like to think we wouldn't have @europarl watering down obligations, weakening targets, doing sneaky backroom deals, passing bad legislation that serves big business. This will be our legacy, if there's anyone around to appreciate it

I very much support closer cooperation between the #EU and the @coe. And if that cooperation is to mean anything, MEPs should follow the example of our counterparts in the @coe parliament, put ourselves on the right side of history, and call for the release of Julian #Assange.

Plans for an EU "Rapid Deployment Capacity" should be read in the context of Irish governments' constant promises that "there are no plans for an EU army."

What's a "Rapid Deployment Capacity"?

In an ideal world all war crimes would be investigated as surely as Russia's have been. We don't live in that world. The inconsistent application of justice is not justice. It dangerously erodes rule of law until only might makes right, creating even more victims in the long run.

We do demand Navalny and Kara-Murza's release. We abstained on the resolution after our motion to remove a call for counterproductive sanctions from the text was voted down. Here's our amendment, calling for release of #Assange. Voted down by MEPs. How did Irish MEPs vote?

We call for a foreign policy guided by neutrality and independence, and preventing the use of civilian crisis management to further any strategic, military, economic or other objective except maintaining international peace and addressing the needs of affected populations.

I was happy to chat to @Jingjing_Li this week. The EU is under increasing US pressure to worsen relations with China, against the interests of people in Europe. Big challenges ahead this century. Peace and international cooperation are essential. Cooler heads must prevail.
