We need a Ukraine War Bond to finance our support…
If countries need to cut their own budgets to help Ukraine, that solidarity will always come under pressure… and fall short.
We need to safeguard it against our own populistst too !

Appalling attack on aid workers delivering food in Gaza. Civilians & humanitarian workers are never a target.
Netanyahu's government must ultimately be held to account by the international community for these deaths.

Not the end of Erdogan, but the beginning of something big…
There is life in democratic… and secular… Turkey yet !

This is what populism does when it comes into power: chase away talent, make room for corruption and intolerance !

Unbearable…
Gaza gets about one fifth the supplies people need.
We must put pressure on Israel to stop the humanitarian drama… and call the ceasefire that the UN Security Council decided on !

We ignore Zelensky’s warning at our peril ! Putin has been at war with the West for 10 years, if he wins in Ukraine, Europe is next…
We need to provide Ukraine with everything they need, everything we have in our stockpiles to stop Putin in his tracks !

Seriously worrying reports of Russian attempts to pay extremist politicians &amp; distrupt European elections.
Populism is a threat to national security !
Where are the European sanctions to match the Czech steps?

Trump sells copies of the Bible to finance his various legal defences including the Stormy Daniels hush money trial…
…the rest of the world, outside Russia, is praying for Biden or anyone else!

Orbán in serious trouble…
You can fool some people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time !

China embraces the same tactics as its totalitarian allies, Russia &amp; Iran. Democracies need to stick together.
Under future British Government's, 🇪🇺 &amp; 🇬🇧 need the means to work more closely together to defend our common European freedoms!

Last week in Cuba …a huge sign of hope in a world dominated by brutal autocracy (Putin) and cruel terrorism (ISIS)!

About time. Through his disproportionate actions, Netanyahu has succeeded in turning the UN Security Council against Israel's plans.
Lasting Humanitarian Ceasefire now!

Slovakia shows the battle for democracy being waged across Europe…
On one side pro-European liberal democracy. On the other a mix of xenophobia, Putinism and corruption...
Keep fighting !
🇸🇰 ✊🏻🇪🇺

Heart goes out to the victims of yesterday’s terror attack…
I wish Russians had a government to protect and serve them, not send men abroad to wage war on other citizens.

Biggest terrorist attack from Russia against civilians and infrastructure in Ukraine…
So instead of telling Ukraine to stop attacks on Russian refineries, the US should send them all the long-range equipment, planes, missiles… they need !

Orbán sends congratulations to Putin for his re-election…
Traitor !

Trump’s former (future?) envoy on the Middle East: “Move people out of Gaza and clean it up”
There is nothing so dangerous as stupidity at the highest levels of world politics !

What he means is: Whatever Putin does, he’s always right.
In Italian: “Il Duce ha sempre ragione”.

RT by @GuyVerhofstadt: 1/3. The thing Trump did in Dayton – celebrating his fascist movement's dubious "martyrs" – is exactly what Goebbels and Hitler did between the Nazis' failed coup and their seizure of power. Their song was called the Horst Wessel Song.

Lie upon lie…
Putin invaded Ukraine for no reason except his own geopolitical megalomania, and will continue to threaten everyone who cherishes sovereignty and democracy.
The West cannot but counter every move he makes towards Ukraine and other free countries !
