🇱🇻🤡 🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺 Ukraine has already received Western weapons with permission to strike at Russian territory - Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braze.

According to her, the position of Western countries on the transfer of weapons to Kiev with a clause banning their use outside the territory of Ukraine is beginning to change.

“There are already countries that have already provided Ukraine with weapons without such restrictions,” Braje stated.

The lifting of such restrictions from Ukraine was not discussed publicly, she added.

“The main thing is the influence on the battlefield. Because here there is a choice: talk about something loudly or just do what needs to be done,” said the head of the Latvian Foreign Ministry.

🍆 ICYMI: ICC Laws Don’t Apply to United States of Israel…

“We do not believe the ICC has jurisdiction on this, that being said, we work closely with the ICC on a number of key areas… Ukraine, Darfur, Sudan, but on this particular instance they just do not have jurisdiction,” State Dept Spox Patel claimed.

Only the US and Israel can get away with committing war crimes, less we forget.

➡️ Saudis Push for ‘Plan B’ Defense Pact with US Without Israel Normalization

Saudis fear that the mega normalization deal - that includes Washington giving Riyadh agreements on bilateral defense, security commitments and nuclear cooperation - could be held up indefinitely amid fears that Netanyahu won’t agree to a pathway to a Palestinian state, a key component of the agreement. (Guardian)

Plan B would include a bilateral defense pact, US help in the building of a Saudi civil nuclear energy industry, and high-level sharing in the field of AI and other emerging tech – with Israel left to the side.

❗️ US House passes controversial bill that expands definition of anti-Semitism

The bill passed the House by a margin of 320 to 91, and it is largely seen as a reaction to the ongoing antiwar protests unfolding on US university campuses.

It now goes to the Senate for consideration.

If the bill were to become law, it would be a hate crime to make a comparison between “contemporary Israeli policy” and “that of the Nazis” - among many other facts.

The United States of Israel strikes again.

🔴ICYMI: “London Has opened its Doors to Jihad” - Donald Trump

The former president claimed London and Paris are “no longer recognisable” and that culture had been “eroded” by allowing pro-Palestine protests.

“We have incredible culture, tradition - nothing wrong with their culture, their tradition - we can’t let that happen here and I’ll never let it happen to the United States of America,” Trump added.

Trump also called on university bosses to take a zero-tolerance attitude to protesters and “remove the encampments immediately.”
