“This should have been Europe’s war to manage. In spite of decades of discussion about European defence, it proved too convenient to rely on US largesse. This made Europe a prisoner of US electoral factors. It also caused Europe to shirk the difficult decisions that helping win the war entailed: the big increases in defence expenditure, the 24-hour working in ammunition factories, the hikes in food and energy costs and the political risks such as seizing frozen assets. What remains now for Europe is to secure a place at the negotiating table and to argue for NATO membership for Ukraine as part of any settlement.”

Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi was in Saudi Arabia signing agreements with his Saudi counterpart Faisal bin Farhan. After years of hostility the two countries have endeavored to bury the hatchet of late and rebuild ties. This rapprochement was brokered in part with China acting as an intermediary since it has ties with both sides.
Hello Farcaster friends. I’m back after spending the last ten days on assignment in Ukraine. I was very moved by the struggle of the Ukrainian people to fight for their independence, as well as their toughness, warmth and humor.
It was quite dangerous at times and it is really not a joke to be in eastern Ukraine but I will definitely be coming back in future as I felt an emotional attachment to the people and place.
I hope Americans will also at least consider the struggle of these good people when deciding their own elections next month as the result will have an impact on them.
I encourage those who can to visit Ukraine and especially fellow Europeans whose solidarity they really need and appreciate. I will share more pictures later.

After realizing the damage of its disastrous one-child policy the Chinese government is now trying to harass and harangue women into having as many children as possible: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/08/world/asia/china-women-children-abortions.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb
Today is one of the most tiring days i have ever went through! Had to move to a new house cause yesterday an airstrike was too close! This thing isnt easy. Having your kids nagging of hunger while you are stuck in traffic, having all your luggage with you so nothing will go to waste. The IDF started today alot early than usual, they usually give us a warning but today they hit somewhere with no warning, dangering the lives of many civilians! Over 1.1 million people have been displaced from the south heading to the north! Lebanon is going through one of its hardest times right now if not the worst! America should really stop supporting israel! Pray for us fam!
Elon Musk endorses Trump at PA rally:
Well a small Correction, they didn't assumed they knew but still went and bombed. Pure evil.
“A toxic slick was detected on 17 August coming from the Russian border village of Tyotkino. According to Kyiv, chemical waste from a sugar factory had been dumped in vast quantities into the Seym.

Ukraine’s armed forces had launched a surprise incursion into Russia and had seized territory in Kursk oblast.”

“An investigation by China of an American clothing retailer has escalated concerns among foreign companies about their dependence on Chinese supply chains and the future of their operations in the country.
China’s Ministry of Commerce said last week that it was investigating PVH, the corporate parent of the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brands, for allegedly taking “discriminatory measures” against products from Xinjiang, a region in China’s far west that produces a fifth of the world’s cotton.
At issue is whether PVH violated Chinese law by pulling back from purchasing cotton or garments from Xinjiang, where researchers have cited evidence of forced labor, mass arrests and confinement to re-education camps among the region’s predominantly Muslim ethnic groups, particularly the Uyghurs.”
