We see a new world order characterized by competition and coercive power politics, featuring military powers, who aim to establish spheres of influence.
How we respond to this moment will define us.

They were actually kidnapped with the help of armored vehicles and under the barrels of machine guns and grenade launchers. WITH (!) their eyes blindfolded.
โผ๏ธThey were held in handcuffs for 28 hours and were brought to the point of losing consciousness: the Ukrainian cash collectors, detained in Hungary, were treated brutally, - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
Reuters: Turkey says it deployed six F-16 fighter jets, air defence systems to northern Cyprus
#BREAKING | The Turkish Ministry of Defense announced that NATO forces stationed in the eastern Mediterranean intercepted a missile launched towards the country's territory, and fragments from the interception fell in Gaziantep province, with no casualties.
TRUMPโS PLAN BACKFIRES: Iran's new supreme leader โ Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the country's slain ruler โ is expected to be more hardline than his father. His ascent to power means the Iranian regime may become even more repressive.
We're running out of sky.

Now the US has ordered non-essential staff and families to evacuate the Adana consulate in southern Turkey.
Love that Trump is so dense he doesnโt understand that you canโt just sever trade with Spainโฆ
Why?
Altogether nowโฆ
Because Spain is in the EU
Handy, thatโฆ
Call for information as UK โmoves closerโ to agreement with EU on agrifood trade. Independent, 9 March.
The UK Government has issued a call for information to understand how it can support businesses as the UK 'moves closer' to a Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) deal with the EU. This would remove the red tape that has been damaging agrifood trade moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland.
As bombs rain down death and destruction, the good news is that Donald Trump still has plenty of time to play golf with his rich mates at Mar-a-Lago.
It will never not fustrate me that the Tories havent faced any consequences for how they systematically underfunded our forces - all while claiming to be a party serious about defense.
And now they want us to get involved in a random, pointless war, shredding what little equipment we have.
So Farage couldnโt gain access to the Chagos Islands last week.
This week he couldnโt gain access to Donald Trump.
What a load of air miles heโs clocked up for his donors.
Farage is a complete waste of space. Canโt organise his own visits let alone run a country.
OTD in 1944 the Red Air Force carpet bombed Tallinn, destroying 20,000 homes & killing 757 people.
Imagine, in 21st century, Russia being run by a madman capable of that.
Russians at the front are saying Ukraine has unleashed not only drone jammers operating at frequencies that disable all their operations, but also now hitting them with drones operating at frequencies over 10,000 MHz which Russian warning detectors can't see.
Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey has called on the Prime Minister to cancel the King's scheduled state visit to the US in April:
โAt a time when Trump has launched an illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills for British families, itโs clear this visit should not go ahead."
Reminder, Farage is not on your side, he wants to charge you to access the NHS.

A Zionist-American airstrikes targets Iraq
Not Iran, Iraq! this is not the first incident involving American forces in the area
When will American MSM finally admit that the U.S. is in a full-blown war in Iraq??

No report in the Guardian about a woman MP being attacked on International Womenโs Day by transphobic fascists after just a week in the job.
They have these โnewsโ items though
It doesnโt work like that when:
1) oil infrastructure is blown up
2) the war has already shown the US cannot defend the Gulf states, so shipping risk stays high - pushing up insurance costs too
3) Iran can choke Strait of Hormuz
4) previous wars have seen oil stay high long after war.
Just like to point out that King Donald the Mad has spent over $10,000,000,000 [so far] to replace the Ayatollah ๏ฟผKhamenei with the Ayatollah Khamenei.
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game
