  • Ian Garner
    Ian Garner “Europe has spent more time discussing, making statements, and making calls than actually putting its money where its mouth is and stepping up to give concrete support to Ukraine or to pursue any other policy of its own choosing. Everybody is technically on the same page. The problem is when you actually look at finer details of the plans, everybody disagrees. All these European leaders are still trapped in potential maybes. Nobody has come up with a cohesive, comprehensive, and collaborative plan to say, 'Here's what we would actually be willing to definitely do.' And so, of course, Trump, Putin, and even Zelenskyy don't take Europe seriously.” 16 hours ago

    Majda Ruge “There seems to be a group of EU countries who are clear that they are not going to be part of a poorly designed and hasty Trump deal, and who are focused on continuing their support to Ukraine.” 16 hours ago
  • Abdulaziz Alghashian
    Abdulaziz Alghashian “Many people are preparing themselves for something very negative on the horizon in regards to the ongoing yet fragile Gaza ceasefire. I think they sense that Netanyahu is someone who's really confident, especially after leaving Washington [and] getting a great deal of support from the White House for his dream of pushing people out of Palestine. The emboldened Israeli prime minister might, at some point, try to draw the United States into attacking Iranian nuclear facilities. Netanyahu is trying to create a great deal of instability so he could prolong his political career.” 16 hours ago

POLITICS  CURRENT EVENTS 

25 Nov 2024

“The reality is that the votes that Georgescu got were protest votes against [the] current political class. The majority of Georgescu voters are unaware of his pro-Russia comments, which he said did not find wide resonance within Romania's population. Romanian voters did not want current PM Ciolacu or his coalition partners from the PNL to rise to the top job. Ciolacu's popularity has been falling amid allegations of corruption against him and of plagiarism against a coalition partner. Several anonymous TikTok accounts also boost Georgescu's content on the platform - and it is unclear whether they belong to real people or are bots. The voter discontent with the current government's handling of the economy drove them to seek an alternative candidate to vote out the incumbents. Georgescu was in the right place, at the swipe of their fingers on TikTok.”
