The world is at the start of a new Thirty Years War. A new age of baroque brutality based on greed with hypocritical invocations of the true faith [all too often now, bogus "democracy" and "human rights" against "autocracy" and "tradition"] - only without #Monteverdi & #Schuetz.

#Tusk's coalition campaigned against #PiS in last year's #Polish election accusing it of flooding the country with immigrants! Just because #Tusk was the #EU's Number 1 bureaucrat doesn't make him "welcoming" to one and all. He has a harder line than his "far right" predecessor.
"Distant waters cannot quench local fires"was Zhou enlai's warning to states looking to #China to protect them from #US & #USSR. Even after the debacle in #Afghanistan & not since #Chamberlain's guarantee to #Poland in 1939, fantasy foreign policy finds it voice #DavidCameron

#Merkel was Agitation-secretary of the Free German Youth (#FDJ) at #Leipzig's #Karl-Marx-University in her not so young years. She helped organise the "voluntary" labour every Saturday on the Friendship Pipeline from Siberia. Nordstream2 was her third pipeline - all from the east
He was at Caius, Cambridge.

Media judges: Although it is true that it seems Lady Hales et al. got uncritical publicity for their misinterpretation of the #ICJ's interim on the #Gaza case, can it be appropriate for Judge #Donoghue to comment - inter alia - on the role of the #Israeli justice on @BBCHARDtalk?

#ICJ Judge Donoghue's comments @BBCHARDtalk on the #Israeli justice in the current case is an un-professional low among her other gaffes. To paraphrase Jean Gabin: for a judge to comment intelligently on a case is an achievement, but to know when to keep the mouth shut is genius.

By refusing to notice that our climate is getting damper & colder for longer, the Green blob insists on preparing us for the wrong problems. Remember June, 2023. It was so cold in England's south central heating switched itself on in Oxford. But BBC recorded "the warmest summer"!

Forty years ago, the British Foreign Office minister, Linda Chalker, patiently explained to a BBC interviewer that atrocities by the troops of #Uganda's 2nd worst dictator, Milton #Obote, would have been really horrible but for their training by the British Army! Framing is all.
A masterpiece.
Don't you think #Turkmen and the others remember how an ex-Soviet prime minister was sent on a diplomatic mission, in #Molotov's case to #Mongolia, as a sign that he had accepted his humiliating fall from grace in 1957? Central Asians know a fallen has-been when he visits them.
The bitter animosity towards Nikol #Pashinyan, his family & colleagues as alleged traitors, "Turks" even, recalls the atmosphere in #Yerevan 25 years ago. Murder killed compromise then. See my "Our boys in Armenia are dead" Wall St. Journal (1/11/1999) wsj.com/articles/SB941…

The political temperature in #Armenia is rising sharply. Premier #Pashinyan's concessions to #Azerbaijan may be unavoidable but on this Genocide Memorial Day the abuse of his wife recalls the animosity towards the last gov't to try to make peace in 1999 - its leaders were shot.

How did #CoE lose its ethical way? This report explains a lot: "Bishop" #Vennells condemned the Post Office counsel as "possibly more loyal to her professional conduct requirements.. [who] put her integrity as a lawyer above the interests of the business"! lawgazette.co.uk/news/post-offi…
De-Christianisation of #UK & #EU elites is part of the explanation. The indifference to #Armenian & ME Christians by the #USA's born-again Protestants who stand with #Israel is another part of the jigsaw. President #Aliyev instinctively taunts the EU under its new holy logo, COP!

It seems #Clark's liberal bias led him to accept the "Black Legend" that saw Spanish history inc. its art as one long Catholic crusade of cruelty & obscurantism - anti-Muslim, anti-Jewish, anti-democratic - presumably views not 1000 km from #Beard et al.'s now but not near enough
Kenneth Clark was an old-fashioned liberal - unlike his son, Alan, who is brought in ironically to tar the father as "right-wing". Pace, Beard, Clark had reasons for not covering #Spain including his unwillingness to visit #Franco's dictatorship still hanging strong in the 1960s.
Interesting what this might mean for reinstatement of conscription for #Bundeswehr. In the #Weimar years, a professional army tilted heavily to hard right. Post-war West Germany went for conscription to avoid that. Will C21 Germany find a conscript army is anti-constitutional?

Who was #Georgia's #PavelMorozov? Must have had one. #Germany had #HitlerJungeQuex. It tarnishes any cause - however good - to use children who cannot understand the issues to shriek its slogans, let alone setting them to hunt for traitors and inform.
