As Alan already knows I am of the persistent, vocal type. I must say I am increasingly disappointed by not having heard back from any of you or @guardian (to be fair I haven’t checked its full electronic pages that carefully in last week because of what’s happening elsewhere).
.@BriHReed@HamzaMSyed reported they both found doors literally closing on them when they knocked regarding #TheTrojanHorseAffair . Could it be that I’m experiencing the same? But why?? I don’t think any of you are of the easily embarrassed type and I can see from your bios…
… that on the contrary you each have innumerable achievements to be proud of, exactly as I’d expect of #TheBoardOfTheScottTrust .So, who is protecting what or whom, from what and why?
While I await a/any (!!) reply I would like to bring this thread to your attention…. I hope it will make clear that your prolonged silence over this matter is longer acceptable…. I know loosing my 5 quid/m contribution to @guardian will make no material difference to @guardian.
In case you prefer to read this online rather than from tweets, here’s the link to the material I will be discussing : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_…
And before I start I finally want to thank @ZevShalev ´s @NarativTv for bringing this to my attention in the last episode of his podcast where the no fly zone is discussed very astutely by two of his guests @mhmck and @ericgarland .
.@meduza_en I am doing as you suggest on your pined message on the #Telegram App: diffusing information about how people can still get reliable information from you. Thank you for having prepared for this SO expertly!
No indeed, @jensstoltenberg , but Ukraine can legally and freely and therefore MUST be invited and allowed to join @NATO IMMEDIATELY. Don’t pretend you don’t understand this logic. You have been rehearsing it since day 1 of your leadership of this institution, I am sure.
How many more innocent kids dead, families dessimated, dangerous environmental situations, and repeated recordings of the evidently increasingly exhausted and desperate yet ever more heroic sounding @ZelenskyyUa is it going to take for you @jensstoltenberg@POTUS and @VP….
…to do the glaringly obvious right thing? I’ve said it before and will say it once more, although you know it well: now that #Putin has unilaterally invaded Ukraine there is NO WAY he can claim as he did last in 30 years that Ukraine deciding to join @NATO is an act of agression
Title: “1/6 Committee Brief Says Trump Committed Crimes!” Show notes: Lawyer and pedagogue EXTRAORDINAIRE 😍🥰🤩@patorrezlaw “spotted a massive, smokiest of smoking guns in a brief filed by the 1/6 Committee! This is HUGE NEWS.
It is the first sign we've yet had that Trump is facing ACTUAL criminal charges! This bombshell wiped the whiteboard clean and today's episode is entirely devoted to Andrew's expert breakdown. Don't miss it! And please share!”
@Kasparov63 Gary, YOU WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG AND YOU ARE RIGHT NOW. I believe @jensstoltenberg@NATO & @POTUS are preparing a crushing response. But they cannot fight in Ukraine under NATO’s vital peace-banner to support Zelenskiy’ government unless Ukraine becomes part @NATO .
@Kasparov63@jensstoltenberg@NATO@POTUS That being said given that #Putin invaded Ukraine in order to prevent it from joining NATO, what have we NOW got to loose by making it part of NATO? That in itself is NOT an act of violent aggression, DESPITE WHAT USSR and Russia would have us believe since the end of WW2
@Kasparov63@jensstoltenberg@NATO@POTUS Same is true for countries all along Russia’s borders that wish to join NATO and have wanted to for SO long. Instead of holding back for fear of aggression, as that Russian agression has already occurred why not support freedom to self-determination of these countries NOW?
Complete agree. This won’t be over when there’s a cease-fire in Ukraine. World has changed profoundly in the 2 yr-Covid pandemic, the Trump era & perhaps to a greater extent geopolitically even in just this last week. WE NOW ALL FULLY RE-APPRECIATE WHAT WE COULD SO EASILY LOOSE.
This re-appreciation means NONE OF US will be able to torelate thought of a Bond- movie-level-vilain-turned-basket-case, after a deranged aggression against Ukraine, could remain in any position of power & especially nuclear power. This won’t now be over until #Putin is gone.
You & @HillaryClinton are rightly hoping his so badly mistreated people or his own junta, respectively, will bring him down. I think History has shown how profound Russian social inertia really is (they’ve put up with Stalin and Putin for literally decades!).
