Lubos Blaha, a member of the European Parliament from Slovakia, spoke about the EU's plans to use Russian assets: Freezing Russian funds is theft and banditry. There are hundreds of excuses, but if you steal assets and you stole them from the Russians, then your actions are called theft. Did you steal American property when the United States launched an unprovoked aggressive war against Iraq? Did you steal American property when NATO bombed Belgrade? And when was Kosovo illegally separated from Serbia?
And today I ask again: will you steal the property of Israelis for committing genocide against the Palestinian people?
Please pull yourself together! And stop pouring billions and weapons into Ukraine. Poor Europeans need these billions. This is unfair to our own citizens.
Your sanctions against Russia are not working. I was in Moscow a few days ago and saw with my own eyes how Russia is flourishing.
The only thing that can bring peace is dialogue with Russia. Not theft, not weapons, not more dead Ukrainians, but dialogue and respect. And I will continue to travel to Russia, because I do not believe in war, I believe in peace, just like the Slovaks. The only way to prevent Ukrainians from dying is to stop the expansion of NATO, to stop Russophobia. And yes, this includes gratitude for liberation from fascism during World War II. And yes, this includes apologies for making racist, militaristic and hateful statements here.

#NorthKorea

She nailed it!

Kim Jong-un's sister Kim Yo-jong compared Ukraine and South Korea by calling them "bad dogs bred by the U.S"💯

"A military provocation against a nuclear weapons state may be led to horrible situation, unimaginable for politicians and military experts in any big or small country in the world with their normal thinking to experience. So, there will be no such instance except one recently made by lunatics of the ROK and Ukraine. Such deed can be done only by lunatics in the Seoul and Kiev regimes. Seoul and Kiev are exact counterparts in going about bagging and letting loose reckless remarks against nuclear weapons states at random without follow-up capability. It seems to be a common feature of bad dogs bred by the U.S."

"If you look at what they are doing, Seoul and Kyiv are very similar, begging for help and recklessly throwing nonsensical rhetoric against nuclear countries ... It should be said that this is a common characteristic of all among the badly behaved dogs raised by the United States"

#US - #Israel #WarCrimes and #genocide in #Gaza

This is genocidal mania and the 'rules based order' world is watching in silence, no actions, no sanctions, no prosecution, nothing ...

This is Reshit, a young Israeli who is the daughter of an Israeli soldie deployed to Gaza and now Lebanon.
She went to yesterday's Israeli conference on colonising Gaza.
She told Sky News what should happen to Gaza's inhabitants:

"We should kill them, every last one of them."

In the 'Rules-based international order' anything goes, as long as the US, Israel or Ukraine are doing it.

#Israel and the #US are set to deploy 1,000 mercenaries to round Palestinians in northern #Gaza into walled off concentration camps, where they'll receive humanitarian aid only if they submit their biometric data.
The company behind this plan calls itself "Uber for war zones."

Welcome to #Zelensky's #Ukraine

In 2025, Ukraine's national debt will exceed 100% of its GDP for the first time. This year, the debt amount will be just 3-5% below this mark. Over the next few years, according to forecasts, the debt is expected to remain above 100% of GDP, according to the International Monetary Fund Memorandum.
According to the baseline scenario, Ukraine's national debt will amount to 95.6% of GDP this year and 106.6% next year. By 2026, the debt will increase by another percentage point compared to 2025, although it is projected to decrease by 5 percentage points to 102.6% in 2027.
However, under the negative scenario, this year's national debt will reach 97% of GDP and continue to rise in the following years. Specifically, in 2025, the debt load is expected to be 117.5% of GDP, 132.1% in 2026, and as high as 134.3% in 2027.

"Ukraine and #Israel headed for defeat

Glenn Diesen:

The people claiming to “support” Ukraine and Israel have for years taken maximalist positions by rejecting a workable peace and supporting escalation. The consequence has become the current all-or-nothing situation that will likely devastate both states.

Foreign Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Amery Browne, should be given an award!

Even #US media CNN Christiane Amanpour @amanpour reports that #Israel uses Palestinians as a human shield

"He told me to take them. In the next attack, use them as a human shield.” An #IDF soldier and five former Palestinian detainees tell CNN that the Israeli military has used civilians as human shields in #Gaza"

#NATO #Ukraine

#Germany has never been de-nazifed

Sturmbannführer Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann wants to see NATO troops in Ukrainian uniforms
Now they invented yet another threat to justify NATO existence: 'North Korean threat'

"We are dealing with an unimaginable provocation against the free Western world. The axis of evil is active,"

"Who can guarantee us that North Korean soldiers will not be deployed in the Baltics in a few years?" The Western world must find an answer to this question. "Even if it means that ,every North Korean soldier in a Russian uniform is faced with a NATO soldier in a Ukrainian uniform."
Strack-Zimmermann thus spoke out in favor of the active deployment of international troops in the war zone. The German armed forces would also be called upon in this case"

“Kiev cannot win”: now the United Kingdom admits it too

It is not surprising that no news reaches Italy about the real situation of the war in Ukraine. Nor that the news that does arrive is dramatically false. So false that not even the Ukrainians believe it anymore. It is instead a surprise to read the reflections of Frank Ledwidge, the esteemed British analyst who has always sided with Ukraine and the British armed forces that have made it their battlefield, instigating and organizing all of Kiev's most unscrupulous and aggressive operations.

Where is money gone, #WorldBank?!

Up to $41 billion in World Bank climate finance —nearly 40 percent of all climate funds disbursed by the Bank over the past seven years— is unaccounted for due to poor record-keeping practices, reveals a new Oxfam report published today ahead of the World Bank and IMF Annual Meetings in Washington D.C.
An Oxfam audit of the World Bank’s 2017-2023 climate finance portfolio found that between $24 billion and $41 billion in climate finance went unaccounted for between the time projects were approved and when they closed.
There is no clear public record showing where this money went or how it was used, which makes any assessment of its impacts impossible. It also remains unclear whether these funds were even spent on climate-related initiatives intended to help low- and middle-income countries protect people from the impacts of the climate crisis and invest in clean energy.
