“I know the limits of international law but I still believe in peaceful means of conflict resolution and prevention. So I want to make the system work, but I know that it will take a longer time than normal to fix it – and meanwhile, many more people will die.”

UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese
Some years back The West told us Navalny was poisoned by Novichok , the worlds most deadly substance that somehow he survived

Now they tell us he was poisoned by dart frog poison

In times of war propaganda dominates

Yep the China that hasn’t fought a war since 1979 & has raised millions of citizens out of poverty in that time?

Yes we must be afraid
I know western nations want us to be very scared of Russia and China, but personally I am terrified of America

A man with just 5 years experience as a constituency MP becomes party leader

What could possibly go wrong?
Every single day underlines what a disaster Starmer is: a real & present danger to us all. I don't know whether this is him being manipulated, poorly advised, bought off by weapons firms or what, but he is the worst possible man to be prime minister at this time.

Ain't that the truth ?

Today, there's no clearer evidence of WHITE PRIVILEGE than how Americans are treating Donald Trump after the Epstein files were released.

I mean, any minority man/president who did the crimes that Trump has done wouldn't even be alive. Trump supporters know this in their hearts.

Yes, what if we moved the goalposts again so that this abysmal piece of shit, this walking affront to the democratic process, could just jail anyone he wants rid of? Much to think about

Wicker is an ardent Zionist and one of the most pro-Israel U.S. politicians.

He opposed UN Security Resolution 2334 which affirmed that Israel's settlement activity violated international law

He opposes any form of humanitarian aid to Palestinians during the Gaza war.

Another hawk at Munich
At the Munich security conference US senator Wicker says:

“Vladimir Putin started this war. He’s a war criminal, and as you’ve pointed out, he started committing more war crimes this year, by attacking civilians.

Diplomacy by insults will not bring an end to this war

Yea...NATO is a defensive miltary alliance, with an offensive military strategy.
February 14, 2026 at 12:21 PM
NATO is an aggressive expansionist military alliance. It is provocative, believes in dominance. It has ignored Russian requests for a pan European security architecture going back 30 yrs. It has Israel as a de facto member & has supported & facilitated Israels slaughter of Palestinians

Leave NATO

It is illuminating that NATO members support Israel despite its aggression against a defenceless Palestinian people

NATO is no longer a defensive alliance

They should publicly apologize and retract calls for her resignation

Are you denying that in 2014 the USA promoted and facilitated a right wing coup that overthrew a democratically elected President in Ukraine

Is this your idea of democracy?

NATO members either individually or collectively have brought never ending wars since the Cold War ended

But it has been successful in persuading so many that it is a peaceful alliance

Just as he promised, he’s destroying NATO which has kept Europe & the US together for 80 years. This will open the doors for Russia to wage war or ultimatums on Europe for takeover & China to take Taiwan & eventually Japan along with other islands. To officially give presidents the dictator title.

At the Munich Security Conference will anyone call for the end to NATO’s eastward expansion?

Nah. The military machine must be fed

Starmer at the Munich Security Conference will argue for closer relations with the EU on defence but not joining the Single Market

Joining the single market would boost trade & tax revenues

Increased Tax revenues would mean the state could afford increased defence spending

But no

On becoming Labour leader Starmer said -
"I am a Zionist without qualification".
He's already declared his hand.
I thought Sir Keir Starmer was meant to be all lawyerish and human-rightsy... This alone should be cause for his resignation, considering the number of people dragged from the streets and jailed following his unlawful ban...

Two ways of significantly reducing wars

1 Israel withdraws from Gaza, West Bank & East Jerusalem

2 NATO halts its Eastern expansion

Neither side will agree preferring forever wars

The Munich Security Conference is three days of unrestricted war mongering

Will the concept of non violent conflict resolution be given the light of day?

Doubt it - because non violent conflict resolution does maximise weapons sales
