Well, not only has Russia🇷🇺 sold #AbiyAhmed some of its most modern fighter jets and air defense systems, but it has also invaded #Crimea and the Donbas region of Ukraine🇺🇦 and seized territory by force, in violation of international law and #Ukraine’s territorial integrity. On what moral grounds can #Russia claim neutrality and mediate between the two nations? I wouldn’t even consider it. In fact, Potemkin Party🇪🇹 (PP) cadres have reportedly been heard citing #Russia’s actions in #Crimea as an example to justify their own ambitions to invade #Assab. I believe it is time for #Eritrea🇪🇷 to pursue the opposite policy: becoming a strategic partner of the #West🇪🇺🇺🇸 and opening its doors to #Western investment. Unlike the policies pursued over the past 35 years, I genuinely believe this approach could bring long-term peace and sustainable #economic development to the #Eritrean people. 🤷‍♂️
🇪🇹🇪🇷 Russia is ready to contribute to restoration of relations between Ethiopia & Eritrea: Lavrov

🇷🇺🇺🇸 PUTIN PRAISED MELANIA FOR HELPING BROKER A TRUCE IN UKRAINE Russia and Ukraine both credited the U.S. first lady with helping secure a temporary ceasefire around Russian-held Oleshky, allowing food, medicine and civilian evacuations. Putin specifically thanked Melania for supporting the humanitarian operation. Kyiv’s human rights commissioner also offered her “special thanks” for personally devoting time to the mission. The truce is narrow and temporary, with fighting continuing elsewhere, including a deadly strike on a railway station in Dnipro. Still, Melania somehow managed to get Moscow and Kyiv to agree on something. Could a humanitarian breakthrough this small become the opening for something much bigger? Source: Reuters / Writer: Naz

BY CUTTING OFF CHEAP RUSSIAN GAS, EUROPE HANDED ITS INDUSTRIES A DEATH SENTENCE. teapawt.org/BullTheoryio/status/21…
BREAKING: 🇪🇺 European natural gas prices just crossed €100 for the first time since December 2022. Prices have exploded more than 250% since the start of this year. Europe is heading into winter in a full blown energy crisis.

Ambassador Huckabee, this is unreleased video of an American who was beaten almost to death last week by Israeli settlers. You know his name because he came to you for help, but you blew him off. That’s disgraceful. Do your job. @GovMikeHuckabee @SecRubio @davidamilstein @WhiteHouse

"With [Putin] agreeing to trilateral negotiations with Ukraine and the U.S. next month, [Zelenskyy] should show deference to his people and make a deal. If he does not, it could be argued that [Zelenskyy] is becoming exactly what he has been fighting against: an authoritarian dictator profiting from the riches of war,' writes @kellyriddell.

🇮🇱 Israel's police say there's NO EVIDENCE to back Netanyahu's party's claims that Arab parties STOLE the election. No investigative evidence. No intelligence evidence. And election day actually saw relatively FEW irregularities, by past standards. Likud had demanded an immediate criminal investigation, accusing Arab parties it says support terrorism of rigging the vote through bribery, threats, forgery and banned voter-mobilization software. But police say they have nothing to substantiate the sweeping allegations. Awkward. Source: The Jerusalem Post / Writer: Julie

After 19 years in power over six premierships, more than half of Israel and much of the world have been left asking: how is Netanyahu still standing? ft.trib.al/0hJK9Nk

Aid keeps flowing into Ethiopia🇪🇹, yet the government boasts of double-digit economic growth while spending billions on arms, as 70% of the population struggles with hunger. Why is the international community wasting tax payers' money? Or are some people profiting from commissions? @EUSR_Weber @un @UNHumanRights @EUCouncil @USAID @WorldBankGroup @IMFNews @Reuters @nytimes
Ethiopia received ~€244m in Irish bilateral aid from 2020–2025. It’s just received a delivery of 12 Russian Su-35 fighters & plans to acquire four S-400 air defence system, again from Russia. Should Irish taxpayers be funding aid to countries buying advanced Russian weaponry?

Ireland is providing aid to Ethiopia... Time to STOP. Let Abiys Russian friends help them in future.
I held a fruitful bilateral meeting with President Vladimir Putin to discuss avenues for further strengthening the longstanding relations between Ethiopia and Russia. Our discussions addressed cooperation in nuclear energy, health, and trade, as well as bilateral and multilateral matters of mutual interest. I also personally presented President Putin with the Russian edition of my book, Medemer, reflecting our shared commitment to dialogue, mutual understanding, and the continued advancement of Ethiopia–Russia relations.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Ireland has no fighters, no fast jets of any kind, no serious air defences, subsea defences, nor a properly resourced military. 244m would make quite an addition to the Irish defence budget. Our priorities for Ethiopia are clearly different to Ethiopia’s priorities for Ethiopia. After all, Russian arms dealers private jets and yachts don’t fuel themselves.

Exactly what I said yesterday. There is no economic incentive for Africa🌍 to expect progress from Russia🇷🇺. 👇👇👇teapawt.org/george_posts/status/21…
“The political incentives for attending are the primary reasons why these countries are there.” African nations weigh political incentives as Moscow offers limited economic benefits compared with China and the West amid the Russia-Africa Summit. aje.news/wel5nc
