That the savages who committed these crimes not only received international sympathy — but recognition of statehood — speaks volumes about how upside down and morally lost our world has become. I'll never get over it.

Switzerland (!?) joining France, Poland, and Lithuania in making alarmed security statements. Instead of vague defensive measures, better would be to seize Russian assets and arm Ukraine to destroy the threat at the source.
In response to the deteriorating security situation, 🇨🇭 has three objectives: strengthen resilience, improve protection and enhance defence capabilities. The Federal Council has adopted Switzerland’s Security Policy Strategy 2026. admin.ch/en/newnsb/zR3tvgIy1… @vbs_ddps

See my pinned tweet. Ukraine and Russia are innovating constantly to gain advantage in this modern war, with China, Iran, and North Korea benefiting from their support of Russia. The West will be left behind in this "Game of Drones" unless they do the same with Ukraine.
So, this is being presented as the first effective and successfully tested interceptor for jet-powered Shahed drones.

"As long as the United States maintains its ability to change course -- through open public discussions, free elections, and an engaged and informed electorate -- it can get itself out of any hole, no matter how deep," says @DaliborRohac. May it be so. thenextmove.org/p/an-immigra…

Almost the entire Russian elite is against the war. But as long as there is no dramatic defeat on the battlefield, Putin does not have to fear this elite too much.

Due to the public stance of Russian citizen Ovechkin, the NHL has become—and remains—a massive advertisement for Russia's imperialist war. The current state of the NHL is prolonging the war, resulting in far more people being killed and maimed. How much longer will the United…

China is arming Russia with drone parts used to kill Ukrainians. China is arming Iran with satellite imagery to target U.S. military bases. Xi knows exactly what he's doing and should be held accountable.

As predicted, and mostly deserved. Now what is preventing Europe—Belgium, especially—from finally seizing Russia’s assets and using them to defend itself from Russian aggression? Still playing by a rulebook that Putin has ripped into confetti.
According to Russian media reports, Putin has signed a decree nationalizing the Russian assets of Auchan, Nestlé, and the former Leroy Merlin chain. With this move, the Kremlin has effectively legalized the transfer of Russian assets belonging to international companies into state control. This affects firms that have continued their business operations in the Russian market and paid taxes to the Russian treasury over the years.

Do something. Waiting for a mass casualty event instead of striking back and deterring Russia now is only inviting that event to occur.

25 minutes of applause. Glowing reviews. A major jury prize. Yet, most people still haven’t had the chance to see “NAZA” for themselves. The film argues that Israel’s targeting systems and calculations of expected civilian casualties reveal deliberate mass killing. But assessing expected civilian harm before a strike is part of the proportionality analysis international humanitarian law requires. Something that literally proves the opposite. The IDF has rejected the film’s allegations. Yet the film's anonymous testimony is already being treated by some critics as a definitive indictment. Before the broader public has even seen the film, the verdict was already written.

Linken-Kandidatin Martha Kleedörfer, die kürzlich noch auf Arabisch um Wähler warb, will offenbar auf Hebräisch Antisemitismus-Vorwürfen entgegentreten. Das Resultat ist vollends absurd: Sie sagt, sie sei gegen „Israels Verbrechen“, mache Israelis in Berlin dafür aber nicht verantwortlich. Einige ihrer Wähler, die auf alles einprügeln, was Hebräisch spricht oder einen Davidstern trägt, dürfte das herzlich wenig interessieren: Warum sollte man nicht Menschen angreifen, deren Land Frau Kleedörfer sonst leidenschaftlich dämonisiert? Dass Kleedörfer palästinensische Verbrechen, islamischen Antisemitismus oder Islamismus verschweigt, versteht sich von selbst.

Is this a joke? The "dangerous escalation" has already happened, Russia increasing its attacks on Europe in frequency and intensity. Retaliation and deterrence are essential, and the only way to force Putin to deescalate.
In a matter of weeks, Russia has been linked to a series of attacks and plots that carried the potential to trigger a dangerous escalation in the war in Ukraine and the West’s broader conflict with Moscow, according to security officials and experts. wapo.st/3UXQm6o

Motaz Azaiza is forcing a reckoning the “pro‑Palestine” movement never anticipated. Because he’s celebrated by activists, politicians, and journalists and can’t be smeared as a “Zionist shill,” his admission carries weight: Gaza’s journalism space functioned under Hamas’s control, and any reporter who deviated from the group’s narrative risked “disappearing behind the sun.” That single truth reshapes how we understand the stories pushed out of Gaza since October 7 and explains why dissent against Hamas’s rule never surfaced publicly. Western journalists and outsiders, unaware of this coercive ecosystem, ended up amplifying Hamas’s information warfare rather than scrutinizing it.

"Ob und in welchem Umfang die IDF im Verlauf des Krieges unverhältnismäßige Gewalt ausgeübt hat, wird auch in Israel heftig diskutiert. Aber die Behauptung, dass die israelische Armee systematisch darauf aus war, Zivilisten zu töten, stellt die Fakten auf den Kopf. Möglichst viele Israelis wahllos zu töten war das Ziel des Terrorangriffs vom 7. Oktober. Es Israel zu unterstellen, ist pure Schuldumkehr."
Das wird jene nicht überzeugen, die nur nach Beweisen suchen, dass Israel in Gaza Völkermord begangen hat. Aber für alle anderen ist es eine empfohlene Lektüre. Wir müssen nicht über die Diskrepanz zwischen der obsessiven Verurteilung Israels und all den anderen Kriegen und Bürgerkriegen im Nahen Osten sprechen, die keinerlei Proteste an westlichen Hochschulen und in der Kulturszene auslösten. Es wäre schon etwas, wenn die "Israelkritiker" die militärischen und moralischen Dilemmata anerkennen würden, vor denen Israel im Krieg gegen einen Feind steht, der alle zivilisatorischen Regeln missachtet, keinerlei Rücksicht auf seine eigene Bevölkerung nimmt, sich in Wohnhäusern, Krankenhäusern und Schulen verschanzt und dessen ultimatives Ziel die Zerstörung des jüdischen Staates ist. Die israelische Armee hat wie keine andere ein mehrstufiges System entwickelt, um militärische Notwendigkeiten gegen zivile Opfer abzuwägen. Sie warnt die Zivilbevölkerung, hält Evakuierungswege offen und lässt Lebensmittel und Medikamente für die palästinensische Bevölkerung in die Kampfzone. Man könnte das als selbstverständlich nehmen, aber das ist es nicht. Ob und in welchem Umfang die IDF im Verlauf des Krieges unverhältnismäßige Gewalt ausgeübt hat, wird auch in Israel heftig diskutiert. Aber die Behauptung, dass die israelische Armee systematisch darauf aus war, Zivilisten zu töten, stellt die Fakten auf den Kopf. Möglichst viele Israelis wahllos zu töten war das Ziel des Terrorangriffs vom 7. Oktober. Es Israel zu unterstellen, ist pure Schuldumkehr. Es ist allzu einfach, aus einer Position moralischer Überlegenheit zu urteilen – besonders wenn man ignoriert, wer für den Krieg in Gaza verantwortlich ist und welchen mörderischen Feinden Israel gegenübersteht. blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-… via @timesofisrael

Neben all den Schwächen, die wir hier 24/7 ins Schaufenster stellen ⬇️ Merz‘ wohl größte Stärke: seine Entschlossenheit im Kampf um Freiheit und Demokratie. Obwohl die Ukraine-Hilfen zunehmend unpopulär in der Bevölkerung sind. Hier beweist Merz echtes Rückgrat.
