The @JoeBiden regime warned the Solomon Islands - 11900 km away - that the #US will take unspecified action against the South Pacific nation should its concluded cooperation agreement with #China. This agreement poses a threat to US or allied interests.
#China-Solomon Islands security agreement allows the country to request police & military assistance from #China to maintain social order.
The #US feel the Chinese menace (11900 km away) but considers #Russia has no right to be concerned about its bordering #Ukraine. #Hypocrisy

#Israel drones, in coordination with the #US, attacked in #Isfahan and other parts of #Iran is retaliation to the attack in #Jerusalem where 7 Israeli were killed and 10 others wounded.
Nothing new: #Iran and #Israel have been at war for the last 43 years.+
Every attack #Israel carried out in #Syria, #Iran responded, without claiming its responsibility, in #Palestine.
There is no large-scale war expected, but rather intelligence attacks on both sides.
#Iran doesn't need to retaliate to the drone attacks because it has already hit #Israel quietly. However, it doesn't mean that the #Jersulam attack will be the last one: far from it.
Statement by the #EU HR on #JeninMassacre: At least 9 Palestinians were killed, and more than 20 injured by #Israel Forces. This brings the number of Palestinians killed in the West Bank to 30 this year & more than 150 Palestinians killed incl 30 children europa.eu/!Ycdmrn
#Israel 2expel families & relatives & close/demolish/ occupy homes f #Palestinians who attack occupation forces. Punitive demolition f 55100 Palestinian properties-a war crime under intrntonl law-is a punitive method used n d occupied territories since 1967 to Judaize #Palestine.
Although revoked by the British, #Israel adopt the 1945 Mandatory #Palestine Defence Regulations & gave authority to military commanders to confiscate & raze "any house, structure or land the inhabitants of which he is satisfied to have committed any offence involving violence."
When asked why #Russia invaded #Ukraine, there is no need to go through any explanation. There is no need to evoke US false verbal promises to two Russian Presidents, the 2014 Coup d'état, the NATO training of Ukraine to prepare for war, or its expansion from 12 to 30 members.👇
Why there is a war in Ukraine: @joebiden explaining the reality about the #Ukraine war: "It’s a lot bigger than Ukraine – it’s Eastern Europe. It’s #NATO. It’s real, serious, serious consequential outcomes. They have no sense of American foreign policy.” cnn.com/2022/10/20/pol…
In #Germany, the memory and legacy of WWII have lost their extraordinary implications. The much-lamented burden of guilt that once deeply affected both collective memory and national identity is absent in contemporary German politics @ABaerbock.
Twitter's view is biased & misleading.
First, Germany FM expressed the reality from the #EU point of view that all of Europe is involved in fighting against #Russia.
Second, Lavorov said the west is at war with Russia & not the other way around, as expressed in @Twitter's opinion
When #Europe declared its decision to defeat #Russia, it didn't mean all EU leaders would be at the Church, praying for Moscow's defeat. However, so far, Russia is refraining from acting as if it is at war with Europe.
If the #US and #Germany deliver their tanks ammunitions with depleted uranium (DU), #Russia will consider it as a "dirty bomb" and will react accordingly.
The 120mm L5 smoothbore gun on the #German#Leopard2 conforms to the NATO Stanag 4385 standard, as does the F1 gun on the French Leclerc and the M256 on the #US M1 Abrams.
The US M829-series and French OFL F2 APFSDS rounds use a DU penetrator, while the German DM53’s are tungsten
15 countries have the #Leopard2 and have #Germany's approval for #Ukraine to be the end-user. #Berlin has not agreed to send its tanks until today.
Differences between FM @ABaerbock, the "green", and Defence Minister Christine #Lambrecht on who decides on this matter.
The #US won't send its tank M1 A2 Abrams for fear of seeing it destroyed, thus damaging the US selling of the tank. #Russia has anti-tank missiles capable of destroying the US (and the #German) tank, and #Ukraine is the "market" where countries r selling their weapons worldwide.
