The recent US strikes have reaffirmed the growing irrelevance of Europe in addressing the crisis with #Iran. This is a big slap in the face of the #E3 (Britain, France and Germany) and the #EU and their joint effort to kick-start serious negotiations to resolve the impasse. #USAirstrikes

Critical elections in several European countries today, but my attention is mainly focused on #Romania. The last thing that the country and the region need is another Trump-like figure. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will NOT be George Simion's day! #romanianelections

Today is the 58th anniversary of one of the darkest chapters in the history of my country: the 1967 military coup d' etat! A day that we should NEVER forget! #Greece

Indeed!What is disturbing here is not only that #Khalil's arrest is celebrated by many Republican lawmakers but that it is accompanied by the silence of so many Democratic lawmakers!

14 House Dems Demanded Mahmoud Khalil’s Release. Where Are the Others?
All members of Congress swore oaths to defend the right to speak freely and assemble to petition for the redress of grievances. Why did so few of them sign this important letter?

The camps are unsanitary, food barely sufficient, and many of those being held are in poor health.

One of the many absurdities in Trump's foreign policy is his treatment of an authoritarian figure like #NicolasMaduro, who is widely considered to have stolen the last election, as a legitimate statesman, and his treatment of a democratically elected leader like #VolodymyrZelensky as a dictator!

We now hear from the #Orangehead that Ukraine 'should have never started the war' with Russia. This is the equivalent of a claim that Czechoslovakia was responsible for its dismemberment by Nazi Germany! Let's rewrite history folks-UNBELIEVABLE!!

Compare the response of Ronald Reagan to the Challenger disaster and Bill Clinton's response to the Oklahoma City bombing with the anti-DEI rant that we heard yesterday from the current occupant of the White House-disgraceful and embarrassing, to say the least!

The certification of the presidential election results is expected to go smoothly today. The main reason that this process will unfold as expected is because the insurrection of January 6, 2021, thankfully FAILED; something that the #OrangeHead and his MAGA acolytes will never acknowledge!

Whatever the reasons for our current predicament, I do agree with Senators Warren and Blumenthal on the need for legislation that will place additional restrictions on the deployment of the military on US soil!

Trump Brought the War on Terror Home—and He’ll Do It Again.
While the War on Terror has receded into the background of our lives, its premises and tactics remain all too readily available.

#JimmyCarter has passed away. Though his presidency was uneven, he did more good in his post-presidential life, both domestically and internationally, than any other president that I can think off. He was the 'kinder, gentler' face of America in the world!

I reminded some friends the other day that the new "border czar" #TomNoEmpathyHoman received in 2015, while serving as Executive Associate Director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, a Presidential Rank Award for Distinguished Service. This was during the Obama Administration!

In an interview with the Guardian, John Bolton unleashes a scathing attack on Trump, his former boss. He also claims that "the Republican party remains essentially Reaganite...Trump is an aberration...when he leaves the political scene, the party will snap back." John, what planet are you living on?
