In this context, the fact that Belgium keeps making windfall revenue on immobilized Russian reserves (via taxation of Euroclear) must be re-examined. Belgium should transfer all that corporate tax income, with retroactive effect starting March 2022, to Ukraine in a transparent manner. Now. (2/2)

Compared with the proposed Reparations Loan: this morning’s decision provides the same amount of financing in 2026 and 2027, with the result that Ukraine’s needs are well covered. The financial conditions are slightly less advantageous for the EU, but the cost difference is small. (3/N)

Rubio on Trump's pardon of former Honduran president: "I'm not involved in the pardon process. He's no longer in office. I can't comment on our pardons process. I have many jobs, but that ain't one of them."

The most corrupt president in modern U.S. history should be behind bars.

Interesting, because I am assured by people on both side sides of the aisle that homeless people are not a part of our society, but a social nuisance to be harassed and a great societal danger to be expunged.

You don't get Bush's war without the impunity of a Supreme Court that appointed him president in 2000. For me that outrageous decision unraveled the foundation of American democracy. And from that slippery slope comes the Trump downward slide.

Yes, things were rotten before. But it was such a breathtaking breach of trust and display of impunity that it broke something subtle but crucial: a belief that, for all their faults, our societies are broadly democratic. The breach has only widened since. As trust collapses, demagogues prosper. 2/3

The more I think about it, the more I reckon the 2003 Iraq War began the process that let Trump win. The blatant lies we were told by our governments, the disregard for public opinion and mockery of international law created a rupture that never healed. Trust, consent and cohesion were smashed.🧵 1/3
