David Collier commented on today's anti-Semitic terror attack on two Jewish men aged 34 and 76 in Golders Green, London:

"I saw it in Israel - I am now seeing it on the streets of the UK.

When they say globalise the intifada - this is what they mean."

The US State Department has pledged $100 million to repair the Chernobyl nuclear reactor shield that was damaged by Russian drones.

If only the US administration understood that, to prevent further damage, they need to help eliminate the russian archers instead of dealing with the damage their arrows cause.

Europe has a stake in the success of U.S. efforts against Iran and should contribute by: inspecting Iranian oil tankers flying third-country flags, blocking European ports to intermediaries doing business with Iran, and halting financial flows and the operations of companies working on behalf of Iran.

Ordinary russians don't bat an eye at the bombing of Ukrainian civilians day and night, yet they complain about "health concerns due to environmental damage" when Ukrainians attack a nearby refinery in an attempt to hinder the genocidal russian war machine. russians are alien to the civilized world.

London's Golders green district has repeatedly been the target of brutal attacks on Jews. Last month, Jewish ambulances were burned in front of a synagogue; yesterday, a memorial was vandalized. Today, two Jewish men were stabbed in broad daylight.

Europe is failing to protect its Jewish citizens!

@Kristian_Kiehling tracking military logistics is deeply engrained into rich russian culture and mustn't be oppressed by people who fail to see the real beauty
@Kristian_Kiehling
it seems to me that Germans are too civilized to understand what being наглий is like. It's such an disgusting mode, like the whole world owes you just because you want it. This is unthinkable for a person that is used to thinking of other, inconceivable that someone could be such a barbaric creature at the same time mimicking under "common shared humanitarian values". russians are still in 16th century and still can't process the whole golden horde invasion trauma.

@Kristian_Kiehling I don't think its a matter of intelligence, mostly different cultural norms and inability to believe (yeah this kinda looks like int issue)

there is a word in Ukrainian I haven't found translation for in English: наглий means arrogant but with no concept of self, more like in "I don't think at all and do what I want anyway. just don't care". cat can be наглий, but can't be arrogant because it doesn't conceptualize human relationship in such ways.

Following the arrest of yet another russian spy in Berlin, who had spent months passing information from Germany to russia, one might wonder how long the German government will allow the main russian spy hubs in the German capital — namely the russian embassy and the russian House — to remain open.

According to a report by the Swedish Coast Guard, there are currently between 500 and 1,000 oil tankers from the russian shadow fleet sailing from the Skagerrak, off the coast of Norway, to the Gulf of Finland. This means that, globally, roughly one in eight oil tankers is currently in the relatively small Baltic Sea, and this figure is increasing.
