Ukraine attacks elite Russian unit base nearly 7,000km away in Vladivostok — Russia ‘testing’ Europe’s capacity to help Ukraine by intensifying air attacks — [vlog] Trump’s key goal is to improve relations with Russia, US diplomat says — Europe’s Trump shock is opportunity to forge new West … and more

Nee sowas - #Lavrov der olle Putinlakai will also am 2.6.. eine #Memorandum Delegation nach Istanbul entsenden. Von wegen der Kapitulationsbedingungen der #Ukraine, die sie erfüllen soll. Wuff: der Speichler im #WhiteHouse für seinen "crazy" Freund will sich gegen Sanktionen stemmen, die im #Senat vorbereitet sind. Charade, um Zerstörung, Menschenvernichtung en large weiterführen zu können. Mensch muss schon umfänglich viel Verblödung haben, um das offensichtliche nicht zu erkennen

Oltre la #solidarietà con la popolazione di #Gaza, esistono nodi politici da sciogliere in tempi brevi. Come fa notare infatti #Peacelink, «dal 2003 l’Italia ha un accordo militare con #Israele che consente lo scambio di tecnologie, brevetti, software e informazioni riservate, coperto da segreto militare. #Memorandum Italia-Israele. Questo Memorandum d’intesa, ratificato nel 2005, si rinnova automaticamente ogni 5 anni. Il prossimo rinnovo avverrà l’8 giugno 2025».

Città Nuova · Digiuni e sdegno per Gaza, le scelte politiche da compiere - Città NuovaGiornata dei sudari bianchi indetta il 24 maggio in tutta Italia. Il gesto del digiuno promosso dal movimento nato a Marghera è ora fatto proprio il 26 maggio anche dalla rete degli amministratori locali della rete di Trieste. La questione aperta della revoca del memorandum militare tra Israele e Italia

a short comment thread from a Lemme user with pinpoint accuracy. (this is also the alt-text)

➖ Millions of acres of national forest are targeted for logging under an emergency order from the Trump administration (article)

➖ ➖ What’s the emergency? Climate change isn’t catastrophic enough yet?

➖ ➖ ➖ It’s so the US can build more vacant houses.

#Trump vs. #Selenskyj

»#USA is not "supporting" #Ukraine, US have to do it due to #Budapest #memorandum 1994, when USA and other countries made Ukraine to get rid of nuclear weapon and other weapon it had, while USA and other countries had to provide security assurances to Ukraine. This is agreement, not a friendship or support.«

So, essentially, the "rare earths agreement" is just a #memorandum on how the U.S. and #Ukraine are intended to invest in Ukraine's mining industry and mineral resources and jointly get profits at some point.

There's 0% certainty on whether this will ever be a real big thing.

The document doesn't even require parliamentary ratification at this moment.

Now, Donald #Trump will declare a grandiose victory as soon as #Zelensky signs this in front of cameras in D.C., and essentially, that's it.

Western inaction on Ukraine’s security guarantees opens door to global nuclear proliferation

Western indecision in Ukraine’s pursuit of #security #guarantees risks triggering a global chain reaction, with nations turning to #nuclear #weapons as a deterrent in the absence of reliable security commitments.

#Ukraine's security commitment - the #Budapest #Memorandum of 1994 - is currently and has been repeatedly violated
