In case you thought this was ever about NATO or the Nazis.
Russian President Vladimir Putin cited genetics to declare that Russians and Ukrainians are “one people” and reiterated his claim to Ukrainian territory, saying: “I think that it is not their territory but the historical territory of Russia.” wapo.st/48aZaZF

Ukraine can't destroy Gazprom's pipelines because doing so inconveniences German consumers.
Ukraine can't hit Russian refineries because that inconveniencs US consumer.
Russia, on the other hand, can destroy Ukraine's energy grid because it inconveniences no one.
Shameful.

According to data from French OSINT analyst Clément Molin, 96% of the sites attacked by Russia in Kyiv and the surrounding region in September were civilian targets.

A russian drone has struck the ‘Dobrobut’ medical clinic in Kyiv. A major fire has broken out as a result, and a rescue operation is currently underway
I’m praying that everyone will be saved!!!

Some people are so utterly out of their damn minds from sheer boredom, a complete failure to appreciate the extraordinary comfort, freedom, and safety their lives are built on, and narrow-minded conspiratorial thinking that they can no longer tell night from day, an aggressor from a victim, or cause from effect.
Francesca Albanese accusa la NATO – non la Russia – di tenere aperta la guerra in Ucraina, chiede di togliere le armi a Kyiv e, quando arriva il momento di spiegare come fermare la guerra, ammette: «non ce l’ho la soluzione».
Quindi l’aggressore resta armato, l’aggredito no e la colpa se la guerra continua è della NATO.
Una narrazione colonialista, complottista e perfettamente sovrapponibile alla propaganda russa. Da una relatrice speciale dell’ONU è davvero agghiacciante.

Not every call for #peace challenges the politics of violence; some reinforce it. That’s the premise of our new article:
‘Colonial and Anti-Colonial Discourses of Peace in the Russo-Ukrainian War’, by me, @Kseniya_Oksamyt & @yuliaioffe in International Affairs (@IAJournal_CH)
I’m looking for domestic court decisions issued after 2015 concerning Article 31 of the Refugee Convention for research purposes. If you know of any—or can point me in the right direction—please do get in touch. Many thanks!

As I always say, enjoy talking about socialism now, because once you have it your opinion won’t matter anymore.
Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega said the Central American country will no longer hold elections.

New article out in International Journal of Refugee Law. I examine why family reunification and child refugee protection have become increasingly contested — and argue that backlash is partly produced by a mismatch between expansive protection claims and… 1/
the Refugee Convention’s more limited legal architecture. In the Global North in particular, it is also shaped by pressure on domestic welfare systems, where family reunification and child protection can operate as a cost-multiplying mechanism. 2/ academic.oup.com/ijrl/advanc…

This is one of the most jaw-dropping, chilling interviews I have seen. Watch this Rabbi from London, respond to question about the terror stabbing in Golders Green!

Man, that would be absolutely insane. Imagine if Iran decided to help Russia and its attack drones hit Ukrainian cities every night.

I bet you'd speak differently if an Iranian drone flew into your stupid face
Disappointing that Ukraine, a victim of Russian aggression who expects international support, now endorses Israeli/US aggression against Iran
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Islamic Republic of Iran provided armaments and support to the russian invasion of Ukraine.
Since 2022, iranian-made drones are used to bombard civilians daily.
Alabuga factory in Tatarstanis for domestic drone-building has been set up as russo-iranian joint venture.
