“In times of war and in times of peace, the greatest weapons of all are not the arms you bear, but the arms you link.” We will remember our heroes of the Far East, and all who sacrificed so much in the Second World War, today and every day. Thank you, Yavar Abbas, for your kind words acknowledging His Majesty’s work to ensure their efforts are not forgotten. #VJDay80 🎥 BBC Studios

“People seem to have forgotten that at the beginning of this war, the #Donbas region was not actually part of #Ukraine — there was a civil war there and it had declared independence. If you bring that up, there’s legitimate denial about it now among the #Democrats, the left, and those who want to keep funding this war.” — Batya Ungar-Sargon on #TheGroupChat 👥💬

🇯🇵 This lady forgets to mention Yasukuni Shrine commemorates people who died in service to Japan from the 1868 Meiji Restoration, Boshin War, Sino-Japanese Wars, Russo-Japanese War, World War I, and World War II. My cousin from Japan once told me in their history books, Japan sacrificed themselves to weaken all colonial holdings in Asia. It's because of Japan, the French were weakened enough to lose Vietnam, the Dutch lost Indonesia, Americans recognized colonial hypocrisy and gave the Philippines their freedom in 1946, etc

There is still no agreement in Brussels about how to handle Trump's latest trade war threats. There is a divide between those who want to maintain the EU's soft approach and continue trying negotiations, and those who say it's time to break out the big retaliation guns.

Emmanuel Todd: The United State started the war in Ukraine. It's the beginning of the Trumpian strategy. That is, seeing Trump say, "We need to stop this war, it's horrible," etc., while the Europeans, the main victims of the war, cut off from their gas, with a collapsing economy, especially Germany, are revealed, especially through the French, as entirely willing to continue the war against Russia, even though they would, be the first ones to benefit from peace, actually. ......................................................................................... It's not the Europeans who support the war, it's the leaders of Europe from the previous period, those people who didn't understand things were changing, who didn't realize we were entering a new era, who didn't grasp that the values of free trade, the end of nations, and so on, had vanished. ........................................................................................... So, I would say it's the Biden-leaning Europeans who want to keep the war going because they haven't understood what's happening at the heart of the Empire.

“By Now, You Would Think The News Of The 35 Military Officers Including 33 Northerners Detained Over a Coup Plot Against Tinubu Would Be Trending Everywhere In Nigeria And Dominating News Channels. Imagine If Those Coup Plotters Were Igbos. There Would Be War In The Country By Now. This Clearly Shows That There Is An Igbo Problem In Nigeria. To This Day, Igbos Are Still Being Blamed For The 1966 Coup.” ~ Media Personality Agba Reacts

A new CNN analysis reveals just how devastating the first weeks of the war in Gaza were. According to the satellite imagery, more than 500 craters over 40 feet in diameter were seen -- which is consistent with those left behind by 2,000 bombs. Those are four times heavier than the largest bombs the U.S. dropped on ISIS in Iraq during its war there. Gen. David Petraeus joins me to discuss.

We keep hearing new reasons for war with Iran—none convincing. “Free the oppressed” sounds noble, but where does it end? We’ve been told for decades Iran is weeks from a nuke. War should be a last resort, not our first move. A war of choice is not my choice. Liberty must come from within, not by U.S. troops.

Slippery Starmer's government is now openly at war with the British people. There are now so many Islamist invaders, the first wave of 540 male migrants were shipped into the ex-army barracks at Crowborough by cops at 3.28am against the opposition of livid locals.

Greta Thunberg & The Flotilla Freaks really wanted a Tunnel Tour of GAZA. There are more people outraged about a crew of self-serving assholes who were told not to stroll into an active war zone… than there are about the actions that actually started the damn war. More people offended by Gremlin Greta getting detained, fed and treated… than the fact that 48 human beings have been rotting in captivity for two years.

No amount of BBC propaganda will clean Britain of the crime they committed in eastern Nigeria ! Maybe they thought our parents never told us the truth ! The story of the war is the first thing every father or mother tells the children from 6 years old in Igbo land ! You cannot distort the truth just to cover evil ! BBC your documentary about Biafra is not 💯 factual . You cannot tell our story the wrong way to hide those that committed crime against humanity including you via propaganda ! This girl needs commendation

The breakdown of international law is evident in today’s two preeminent global crises — Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and the war in the Middle East. A new world is now in the making, characterised by competition and coercive power politics; a world order dominated by a handful of military powers who aim to establish spheres of influence. This is why the EU’s support for the UN now is more vital than ever. My statement at the United Nations Security Council ↓

A new frontline! People's uprising against Zelenskyy! Unarmed Ukrainians in Odesa clashed with military police who were trying to send them to the front. By rejecting Trump's peace plan, Ukraine is bringing civil war closer.

In a new interview with Ben Shapiro Ben Shapiro, President Zelenskyy said an important fact: The U.S. has received and is receiving all the information about the real combat experience of a large war from Ukraine. This war is not against bandits or terrorists, but the war of state against state, regular army against regular army. Today, there are only two armies on the planet that have a real experience of a large full-scale war, i.e., "army against army." These are the Ukrainian and Russian armies. This experience can't be gained anywhere else - not in any drills or war games. The Ukrainians are open with their U.S. allies and share their unique experience of modern warfare. The AFU is now one of the strongest armies on the planet. It is a unique and invaluable asset. It's real military experience, planning, developments, and conclusions of a modern war, especially of this scale. It's literally invaluable.

"If Russia wins this war, there is no euro." - associate fellow in the Russia and Eurasia program at Chatham House Timothy Ash. "This is an existential threat to Europe. It's like COVID. It's about our security. It's about our national defense, about rule of law, all those European values, right? If we care about any of those, we just need to find the money. And there are lots of ways to do it. Again, €27 trillion economy. It's not difficult, guys," Timothy Ash told Bloomberg.

NEW: President Trump calls out the rise of socialist candidates in the U.S. as the biggest threat facing the nation: "It's not socialism, it's really communism. They used the word social democrat because it sounds so nice, but it's really communism you're talking about." "I think it's the biggest threat to our nation there is, maybe since our founding. That includes World War I, World War II, September 11th. It includes the Pearl Harbor attack." "I think this is the biggest threat to our nation.” “It's basically introducing communism into the United States of America. There has never been anything so dangerous."
