Alarm call as world's trees slide towards extinction according to report at #COP16 Biodiversity Summit in Cali, Colombia Number of threatened trees now outweighs all threatened birds, mammals, reptiles & amphibians put together. #climatechange bbc.com/news/articles/…

Als wetenschappers de afgelopen decennia af en toe eens hadden gewaarschuwd, had de politiek tenminste iets kunnen doen aan klimaatverandering.

I now believe that russia can kill hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians in concentration camps and Europe and the USA would just watch.

Ein israelischer Bekannter, einflußreicher Politikberater, sagte mir einmal über Gerhard Schröder, "der Mann wäre bei uns wegen Hochverrats angeklagt worden, er hat die nationalen Interessen an eine feindliche Macht verkauft". Ich weiß auch nicht, warum mir das heute einfällt.

I'm writing a post for you, and outside the window there's another air raid siren, reporting Russian Shahed drones on our territory. In the video, residents of a 9-storey residential building in Sumy tell how they survived the night. A woman says that they managed to hide

De Russisch-Iraanse drone-terreur op #Kyiv, en andere delen van #Oekraïne, duurt nu al uren en uren. Gevleugelde bommen, geratel van afweer, brandende brokstukken.

Forgot the Murder of the Pentecostals, where Orthodox ISIS under Girkin's command murdered 4 protestants in Sloviansk and buried them in a shallow grave near Karachun. Today they're commemorated by a beautiful monument, one that Russians will raze the second they get to it

It was their last goodbye. Vitaly Drachenko, died. He was 26 years old. video:futsal_vmtg Source: online_vinn

🧵 Russian oligarch Petr Aven played a critical role in #Putin’s rise to power. Reports suggest links between Aven, #Trump’s presidential campaigns, and #Musk’s X acquisition. These connections call for further examination. Voters deserve clarity on the national security.

💔This breaks my heart. Kharkiv said goodbye to Mark (11 y.o.) killed in a Russian bomb attack on Oct. 30, 2024. His mother Tetiana is in the hospital. Her husband shows him to her via phone call for the last time #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine 📷 Instagram/p.r.o.video

Russian propagandist Mardan: "We are a country that has been defeated in a great and long confrontation - Cold War. And we need to stop lying to ourselves and constantly look for excuses. We lost a third of our country. It is a defeat. But we will take back, if not everything we

Ru has demonstrated that it doesn't fear NATO, but dislikes the protection NATO provides to Ru's neighbours. Ru has repeatedly demanded Ukr demilitarize, which wld make it even more defenceless. This proposal brings Ru closer to its goal: taking Ukr's sovereignty. Scholz knows it

Hans von der Burchard Until Germany fixes its major strategic deficit, Scholz’s bad strategy will continue. - which endangers Ukraine, Germany and Europe. Allies need pressure on Germany to do better but real change needs to come from within (& requires big decisions) dgap.org/en/research/pu…

You have to read this thread all the way through, not just the first post. If confirmed, it would amount to outright treason. The most generous hypothesis is that of @Bundeskanzler Scholz's strategic stupidity. There are others... Ultimately more worrying than Hungary & Slovakia.

Today, there is wet snow with rain in many Ukrainian regions. The temperature at night gets below zero. It is already snowing in Kharkiv. The heating is not on in several cities. Ukraine is getting ready to face the hardest winter in our history. There may be no electricity in

Chancellor Scholz: Ukraine should not join NATO, but instead take a 'neutral' stance like Finland. Huh. Interesting. Does Scholz realize that Finland recently decided to join NATO to defend itself against Russian aggression? Ukraine is ALREADY under sustained Russian attack --

Ben Hodges As someone who grew up in Germany and is half German, I am shocked and appalled at how Germany has conducted itself since Russia invaded Ukraine. Instead of moral leadership, there has just been moral decay. I am deeply ashamed for my country...

Glad I had the opportunity to stress this: “The West keeps “hoping that restraint on our part will create goodwill in Russia, and I think that is just fundamentally mistaken,” she said. “Only strength on our part can create respect and can contain Russia.” nationalpost.com/news/canada/re…

“The bulk of the demand for [Malta’s] golden visas comes from China”… An incredibly important report on Malta’s golden passports. They should have been scrapped long ago, and here is further evidence for why! 👏🏻

If Trump follows through on his promise to take sanctions off Russia, the war machine Putin will build with North Korea, Iran and China won't be something Europe can handle.
