Trump’s gifts to Putin ,incl waiving sanctions on Russia, point to a joint commitment to what they consider their spheres of interest. Internat’l law and positions of allies seem secondary to hostile pursuits in Ukraine respectively the Western hemisphere. Big power chess.

President Trump signed an executive order on Friday waiving new sanctions and tariffs on Russia required under the law named after the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, just two days before they were set to take effect. Read more: abcnews.link/MrXUwfa

You can see the settlers who attacked Heidi Levine, a journalist for The Washington Post. But what you can’t see is the state behind them: a state that funds them, arms them, and, above all, grants them near-total impunity for their actions. This violence does not happen in a vacuum. Israel enables it. x.com/the_andrey_x/status/21…

What is frustrating and annoying about Israel in today’s crisis situations is its rash and ruthless violent reactions. Equally frustrating and annoying Is its gov’t’s utter contempt of outside criticism. Violence and deaf ears to the world are sad features of today’s Israel.

I can’t think of any other place in the world where people can regularly attack American citizens, American journalists, like this and our US political and media elites say nothing. No scandal, no outrage, no calls for action or accountability.
BREAKING: Heidi Levine, a photojournalist working in the occupied West Bank with The Washington Post, has sustained injuries along with several others after being attacked by settlers during a pogrom in the village of Abu Falah. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/teweeb

Kan se Nobelpristagaren Ruth Carsons litterära kvaliteter. Men, läser vi, ”hon får se”om hon kommer till Sverige för att ta emot priset (12 milj kr plus hedersbetygelsen). Hon har ”en massa andra saker att göra i december”. Minns Bob Dylans pinsamma nonchalans på sin tid.

Reporter: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire but both sides say they have not. Trump: They agree. You know why? Because I said you agree. That’s why. They agreed because I said they agreed.

This is psychosis. He is profoundly mentally ill. He is not fit to be in any position of power over anyone or anything. He should not control nuclear weapons.
Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.

Migration must be better organlzed ; orderly ,well regulated and humane. If not, traffickers will continue to rip off migrants and risk their lifes along risky routes . This is what @UN aimed to prevent 2016-17 with the Global Compact for Migration, a win/win project for all.

Every time I hear of refugees & migrants drowning at sea, my heart breaks. Yesterday’s shipwreck off the coast of Djibouti is tragic. No one seeking refuge or a better life should meet such a fate. news.un.org/en/story/2026/10…

These victims on their way to find jobs in the Gulf add up to the many thousands who have drowned in the Mediterranean on their way to finding work in Europe. It is irresponsible by States not to better organize orderly and safe migration. Smugglers run today’s inhuman trade.

Navi Pillay winning the Nobel Peace Prize set off a coordinated smear campaign: the same insults, the same personal attacks, aimed at her and at the committee. Here are some of the posts.

Tankar i väntan på ny regering: I politik o diplomati är det klokt bevara handlingsfrihet. Klara positioner-ja. Låsta dörrar- nej. Slutmålet ska lysa i eldskrift. I detta ljus är kompromiss o samlande förslag bevis på handlingskraft- inte svaghet. Att enas är ett lagarbete.

This year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner, Navi Pillay, is a champion of human rights known for her clear and courageous stands, When praised for this,she says: “Why should telling the truth require courage?”
