No humanitarian access for weeks, famine conditions, a million people starving as a military siege tightens - no this is not #Gaza, it's El Fasher, #Sudan.

To put this in perspective, this is about one truckload pf food. And once it's pushed out of the back of a plane over Gaza there is of course no control over who gets the supplies; in the current dystopia, odds on that it is armed men (Hamas and/or criminals).

BiH’s Central Elxns Commission has unanimously stripped Bosnian Serb secessionist Dodik of his post as president of the RS entity following his conviction by Court of BiH. His lawyers will appeal the decision to attempt delay calling of snap elxns. klix.ba/vijesti/bih/mi…

69% of Ukrainians want negotiations as soon as possible to end the war, and only 24% want to continue fighting - Ask European leaders the same question, and close to 100% would likely want to continue the war to "help" Ukraine

Ivan Van de Cloot You know what makes me mad the most, even more than their crazy fascist idea of the role of our government in people’s everyday lives? THAT THE ONLY F***ING THING THEY CAN IMAGINE REGARDING NEW TECHNOLOGY IS REGULATION. We are nowhere when it comes to devices people use, or to

When communicating in catchphrases and slogans, one ignores key contradictions: the EU demands to be part of peace talks, yet still refuses to talk to Russia after 3.5 years of boycotting diplomacy.

Singaporean diplomat Kishore Mahbubani explaining the primary cause of the Ukraine war: "The absence of the culture of pragmatism in European cultures. ALL they had to do was reach a compromise with Russia"

This is, without exaggerating, one of the most extraordinary things a US Treasury Secretary ever said. It should be mandatory viewing for all citizens of US "allies", Europeans first and foremost. What Bessent is saying is that the US will now treat US allies' wealth as an
