Weapons for Ukraine but they’ll tell you making sure kids in the U.S. have food on the table is a “handout” the country “just can’t afford”
The “US” in US Congress is only nominal.
In reality, they work for everyone BUT the citizens of the United States.

Taipei replica in remote Chinese province fans Taiwan invasion fears
The satellite images show a detailed replica of the heart of Taipei – albeit surrounded by the arid landscape of Inner Mongolia instead of Taiwan’s lush vegetation.
First posted on social media by a Taiwanese data analyst, on March 26, they were later picked up by the website Taiwan News, under the ominous headline: “China creates Taipei mockup to train for invasion”.
FRANCE 24 was able to verify the existence of the mockup, located some 1,200 kilometres west of Beijing.

The #genocide in #Palestine has opened the eyes of millions of people in the U.S., UK & other western countries to the fact that their leaders are not the civilized descendants of the Enlightenment, but rather cold-blooded murderers & the willing servants of corrupt power. #Gaza

(5) Edward Snowden on X: "Everyone in the world needs to see this. Note that this footage permits no room for "it was a mistake," showing repeated, specifically-targeted strikes on the unarmed and even wounded. The sort of behavior the ICJ explicitly forbid in the genocide ruling against Israel." / X
You need to understand that the technical capability behind such killings is becoming increasingly easy to achieve—and increasingly automated. Soon enough, an official will drag their finger across a map, and anyone judged by a crude algorithm to have crossed that line will die.
Ukraine's forces 'stabilize situation' in the east
After the capture of #Avdiivka on Feb. 17 and several other settlements shortly after, #Russian forces were concentrating their main efforts on making a breakthrough near the fallen town in #Donetsk Oblast, Syrskyi reported last week. Avdiivka fell as Ukraine was facing an ongoing ammunition shortage.
In a phone call with Thierry Burkhard, France's army chief, Syrskyi said he had spoken about the current situation on the battlefield and thanked Paris for the support.

Czech President: Russia 'has no right' to set conditions for peace in Ukraine
Czech President Petr Pavel said on March 16 that it is not possible to imagine Russia and Ukraine negotiating a peace agreement because Russia's proposals indicate a greater investment in continued Ukrainian subjugation than in lasting peace.
"All Russian proposals so far have been in fact a diktat," Pavel told Czech Radio.
"The Kremlin has presented its list of conditions that it as an aggressor has no right to put forward."

Russian torture of Ukrainian POWs ‘widespread and systematic,’ UN commission says
One Ukrainian soldier, who was detained and tortured by Russian authorities in several detention facilities, recounted his experience in the correctional colony in the town of Donskoy, Tula region, where he was repeatedly subjected to torture and left with broken bones, broken teeth and gangrene on an injured foot,” the report reads.
“‘I lost any hope and the will to live,’ the soldier said, adding that he had tried to kill himself but perpetrators subjected him to further beating.”
The document also highlights “incidents of rape and other sexual violence committed against women in circumstances which also amount to torture” as well as “incidents of torture with a sexualized dimension and threats of rape against male prisoners of war.”
Speaking to journalists in #Geneva after the release of the findings, the chair of the commission, Erik Møse, said: “Victims' accounts disclose relentless brutal treatment inflicting severe pain and suffering during prolonged detention, with blatant disregard for human dignity.”
The torture and execution of Ukrainian POWs has been well-documented throughout Russia’s full-scale invasion.

French President Emmanuel Macron during an interview to French media, spoke over the French people that criticize the French support for #Ukraine:
"It's always much easier to go and sing nursery rhymes to people.
The people saying that want peace and us to stop helping Ukraine are not choosing peace. They are choosing defeat"
Macron is suddenly more catholic than the pope and pushing for an all out war against Russia.
Really wonder what made him change? It's not like he can win another term. So what is behind his push for escalating the conflict? Was his.previous move just a ploy and now that Ukraine is falling apart, he is showing his true face?
Of does he think that trump is going to win and it's going to give France a chance to fill up the gap Trump will create on the global world politics?
