This would be the right time for those congressmen including Republicans who support Ukraine to remove Trump from office for treason.

Yeah, he is one of the brainier people in the the Trump admin, but unfortunately his one and only principle is his own career

The Greens position is not not consistent in the way you suggest.
The “Greens backed a Senate motion supporting military aid to Ukraine after Vladimir Putin launched his full-scale invasion in 2022” - (PDF of a SMH article).

Consider the way he said ‘Don’t burn your bridges’ to the Ukrainian community in Australia, sounding just like JD Vance that time when he and Trump tried to humiliate Zelensky.

What caused him to be this heartless? I fear there are only 2 possible explanations:

1. He thought he could gain some Australian votes by assuming Australians voters would be happy to hear a few more bucks can be spent on them (the more fortunate) by taking from those who are literally holding the line against dictatorship & oligarchy. This is also how MAGA and the AfD are getting votes.
2. He is straight up aligned with Putin in the same way that Chomsky is (Western hypocrisy & wars bad, therefore Putin’s must be good)

What a despicable thing to say. The Greens should have elected Hanson-Young.

Edit: Just saw this in the comments of the SMH article: “Sounds like something Trump/Vance would say threateningly to Zelensky”

It will have to be Labour. If the Greens are tankies, then those who want to see change must change Labour.

Yes, political parties in democracies can be very disappointing so you always have to chose the least bad. But being a tankie party is unforgivable. They are saying exactly what Putin & Xi want them to say.

He just yielded a mile on sanctions, as this Financial Times article shows:

It is because of this sanctions issue that his, and France’s commitment is being questioned, and that is why he is now making statements like this.
What a phoney.

And what makes it even more enraging is that both Mélenchon’s leftist party and the Nazis in France would help Russia, so a reasonable French voter doesn’t seem to have a lot of options

When the guy at the top has no respect for the law, plenty of others would understand that as a go-ahead

Sounds confident. Meanwhile Russians should consider withdrawing their savings while they still can.

Europe would not be deciding anything for the rest of the world (who also has no such thing as a representative voice that could speak to EUSP about what it wants). But as long as the index indexes everything, it could compete with the Google and Bing indexes, and people and organisations in the rest of the world would have a real and viable new option.

This is good, but I wish projects like this, and Europe in general would look wider than Europe. There are many in the rest of the world and Americans too, who are aching to be freed from anti-democratic, unregulated oligarchic big tech.

Edit: A WSP (World Search Perspective), started and owned by Europeans, could aim to index everything, and be real competition to Google and Bing. There isn’t any real prospect that every country or region could do this for themselves.

I struggle to understand how Republican congressmen can make this decision to override their “leadership” when he wants to aid and abet the enemy, but not decide to get rid of him for aiding and abetting the enemy
