“I know the limits of international law but I still believe in peaceful means of conflict resolution and prevention. So I want to make the system work, but I know that it will take a longer time than normal to fix it – and meanwhile, many more people will die.”

Looking for a far more fundamental driver of Brexit? The same names keep appearing.

While NATO members object to being on the receiving end of American hegemony, this is a useful reminder of the western dominance inflicted on much of the global south for decades.
The cumulative horror of current events means it's easier for things to slip from our attention. Since genocide was re-branded as 'ceasefire,' the world has moved on - no marches, only small, isolated protests. While Greenland trends, the map of Gaza has shrunk by half...
Here's the BBC publishing without comment or context a map in which Gaza is reduced by half. Note the source...

Macron says he prefers international law and not brutality

Strange comment as he was absolutely cool with international brutality for Israel and Iran

Is this Boris Johnson of which you speak?
You invited a psycho into your house to sit at the head of the table. He cusses & bellows, gropes for your daughter, makes the kids cry, demands food, eats everything while the dogs he brought with him snap at your ankles under the table. When he's done, he sets fire to the house & locks you inside.

Watching a series of NATO & EU leaders spitting out their dummies over US intimidation of Greenland

We need to stand up to bullies over Greenland

But somehow we don't need to stand up to bullies over Palestine & Iran

Watching a series of NATO & EU leaders ranting on about rules based order and the danger of a world based on might is right, knowing they lifted not one finger to help the Palestinians in Gaza

The Munich 1938 theory applies only to Putin apparently

Rules based order
So true.

“Had the world stood up to Netanyahu as he illegally annexed more and more of Palestine then we wouldn’t be talking about the U.S. colonising Canada and Greenland”

Yes the plan

We saw this plan in the Maidan 2015 also
'The unrest in Iran, which initially stemmed from currency volatility and rising inflation linked to unlawful US and European sanctions, escalated on January 8th when coordinated attacks targeted public, state and religious sites.'

Israel attacks UN property with engineering supplied by Develon a European subsidiary of Hyundai & Cat & US corporation

And Hitlers demand for Lebensraum was inspired and influenced by American ethnic cleaning of the native Americans

Going full circle ?
Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.

There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.

And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

Perhaps you should read the ICJ judgement and clear instructions to states that were included within it
Anyone can buy an excavator.

This same argument could be used about Toyota being used by almost every terrorist organisation on earth.

Yes Nato states have very comfortable with US led policies of dominance until the US turns its dominance on them

What has Ukraine that since 2014 has been oppressing its own Ukrainians with a Russian heritage have to offer the oppressed of Gaza?
Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukraine has been invited to Trump’s "Peace Council." However, he pointed out a nuance: Russia and Belarus have also received invitations.

This is nonsense

This always been the case

The world has a huge range of international law but no way of enforcing them on great powers

Post Ww2 colonialism did not die it disguised itself and found new forms & homes

Imperial players found homes in western institutions like the IMF, the World Bank & NATO

It continues to dominate the global south & disguises itself with a cloak of Liberal Democracy, Human Rights & the World Order
2026 is the year the world decided that independence from US Imperialism is needed for survival.

The irony of years of US and EU propaganda telling you that unions are best and free trade agreements are great.

The day we celebrate independence from the USA — should be treated like a 4th of July!

Behind hospital doors, NHS staff are being forced to provide care in conditions they know are unsafe. 🏥⚠️

They are coming forward with accounts of harmful care in spaces never designed for patients.

Their testimony will be released very soon.
They deserve to be heard, and patients deserve better. 📢

The nerve of those who claim Trump achieve a ceasefire in Gaza.

Israel has launched attacks on 86 of the 101 days since the ceasefire, according to Al Jazeera analysis of news reports.

GB nuclear deterrence is based on 4 thirty year old Trident subs only one of which is on duty at any one time. The others are in dock for maintenance or on trials
Missiles are leased from maintained by the USA
They claim to be undetectable but become detectable the moment 1 missile is discharged
The mental healthisms that the Sensibles seem unable to not resort to in discussing politics they disagree with aside. Not for the first time, they seem to be struggling very hard with the concept of *time*. Setting out a vision to be worked toward is not the same as doing something *right now*
