Framing global conflicts as battles between democracy and autocracy distorts the meaning of democracy, alienates the Global South and enables authoritarian regimes like China to exploit the narrative. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/06/26/world/democracy-not-an-ideological-weapon/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #unitenations #democracy #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #israel #gaza #iran #war

Kyiv's strategy in Africa includes delivering aid to Malian refugees, a proposal to train Mauritania's military, and the broader bid to counter Russia's much more entrenched presence on the continent. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/26/world/politics/ukraine-africa-russia/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #un #eu #us #africa #mauritania #ukraine #russia #russiaukrainewar#volodymyrzelenskyy #mali

NATO pulled out all the stops to keep U.S. President Donald Trump happy and hold the alliance together at a summit in The Hague, but it largely avoided tough topics such as the war in Ukraine. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/26/world/politics/nato-trump-questions/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #nato #markrutte #ukraine #russia #russiaukrainewar#volodymyrzelenskyy

U.S. President Donald Trump joined a key NATO summit at The Hague hours after refusing to commit to its core collective defense promise, as allies aim to entice him with a pledge to raise defense spending. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/25/world/politics/trump-defense-nato-summit/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #nato #us #donaldtrump #defense #budgets #indopacific #europe #china #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar

@bonfire I should block the domain indieweb dot social.
That you have come from there is all I need to know.
I was there greeted 2 and a half years ago shortly after signup by 2 #Ukraine Nazis. They had a blond gf for me, in case if I was male. I send a report to TIM CHAPMAN.
An hour later, the Male #Nazi posted a picture of himself with a bladerunner scene holding a report, that he said was mine, and "read it.
Fuck #Ukraine and all the theatrical BULL SHIT. and your "indieweb" Hi to Tim. :(

First he switched off Starlink for #Ukraine & cosied up to #Putin. Then he spent $42bn turning #X into a #FarRight cess pit. Then he spent hundreds of millions to deliver #Trump the #US presidency. THEN he negotiated a £100m deal with #ReformUK, & now he's claiming this 👇🏾

#America, isn't #Musk a #CEO?

He's a real life Bond villain, who won't be satisfied until he's exported #Fascism globally & has their leaders in his pocket like Murdoch. When will we wake up?
