Looks like Israel is definitely cosying up to Russia. It's almost worth it to see how the usual suspects are going to square that with their pro-Russia takes.

You have to admit that there's a certain type who go out of their way to comment and point at everything except the great big elephant in the room. Russia is the aggressor here. There's no ambiguity. They've been offered a bit of a compromise, but they're not interested. They only respond to one thing, and that's everyone standing up to them together.

All of that is correct but Abbott is actually calling for the avoidance of war by diplomatic means. What is wrong with that ?

Diplomatic means threatening economic and political sanctions for any aggression which the US and Germany have done a by standing together. Putin wasn't expecting such a steadfast response.
"Negotiated peace in Ukraine". Just what do you think that means exactly? Could the recent Stop the War poster, showing a map of Ukraine minus Crimea have anything to do with it? The one thing they are all consistent one is a complete absence of condemnation of Russian actions. Funny that.

At best this lot are simply too thick to understand that they're being useful idiots. At worst, they're willing participants.
How are people still getting triggered by Corbyn tweets over two years later.

There's always plenty of mileage in a Jezza or Abbott tweet.

I wasn't planning to get that involved. Like the politicians and warmongers I like to stir it up but keep a safe distance between my rhetoric and the killing.

Posting someone hounded out of Labour under Corbyn for antisemitism isn't a good look.

Was it part of the same hounding out of 40 Jewish members expelled from the party for anti-semitism? At least it appears Winstanely is against neo nazis

No, he was suspended then left in 2019 because of racism and was so anti Jewish, Owen Jones, Novara Media and Momentum all turned on him

But hey, it's up to you which accounts you want to amplify.

It is a fact that elements of fascist militias have been integrated into the army. True or not?
