The author wrote that people in the EU were going broke because of Ursula von der Leyen’s and Kaja Kallas’s policies, and said their response was to ignore the hardship while expressing support for other causes and offering solidarity. They described the EU as an idea they loved with many benefits, but said it was collapsing because of what they characterised as weak and unintelligent leaders. #EU #politics #solidarity #EU

The author argued that people in the EU were working harder while being able to afford less, and claimed that European money was supporting Ukraine’s fight against Russia in US interests while the US sold Europe energy at heavily inflated prices after buying it cheaply from Russia. They called the situation a disgrace and blamed EU leaders. #EU #Ukraine #EnergyCrisis #EU #UA #RU #US

The author claimed that the US had started the war in Ukraine, urged the EU to ban Russian energy and disrupted other energy supply chains. They said the US then pushed the EU to buy energy from it at inflated prices, despite sourcing it cheaply from Russia and selling it on for a large profit. #UkraineWar #EnergyCrisis #Geopolitics #US #UA #EU #RU

The author argued that people who cared about victims should focus on facts, and said otherwise victims were being used as a political tool. The author claimed Egypt had warned Israel in advance and been ignored, that the UAE had warned Benjamin Netanyahu and been ignored, and that Israel had funded Hamas. #Victims #Facts #PoliticalTool #EG #AE #IL

The author described Hamas’s attacks on October 7 three years earlier as abhorrent, while alleging that Israel had aided them. They also claimed that Israel had killed many of its own citizens and hundreds of Gazan civilians that day, and questioned why those deaths were absent from commemorations if they were meant to remember tragedy and crime. #Gaza #Israel #Tragedy #IL #PS

The author criticized a new podcast, saying its story was so implausible it would have been rejected by Hollywood. They compared it to an episode of *Air Crash Investigation* written by someone with no experience investigating crashes, and claimed the account had more holes than the aircraft allegedly did. https://t.co/zeXIiOlnLs #Podcast #AirCrashInvestigation #Storytelling

The author wrote that Israel had said sport and politics should not mix, while allegedly spending two weeks harassing Irish players and management over politics. They questioned whether calling that behaviour bullying and hypocritical amounted to a slur. #Israel #SportsPolitics #Bullying #IL #IE

The author questioned why no genuine images of the damaged Air Dubai aircraft on the tarmac had appeared the previous day, and claimed that many major media outlets had used AI-generated images showing a torn-off rudder. The author said those images had the wrong registration number and tail type, did not resemble Tabuk Airport, and differed from pictures of the aircraft, which they said had been parked at a military ramp. https://t.co/YKqHG537Ug #AirDubai #AviationNews #MediaTruth #AE #SA

The author questioned a scenario in which a passenger supposedly walked down the aisle of a plunging plane, entered the cockpit, put the pilot in a chokehold and then levelled the aircraft. They sarcastically asked whether the passenger would next turn to the camera and say “shalom”, adding laughing emojis. https://t.co/DiDjPC2HSs #Aviation #Humor #CrazyStories #IL

93 per cent of members of @FAIreland wanted this game stoped. They listened to the 7. They're scabs and have made the players scabs. Always loved the Irish soccer team through thick and a lot of thin. Tonight a bond is going to be broken for many of my generation. Backs turned. #FAIreland #IrishSoccer #PlayerSolidarity #IE

Yes, FIFA should have acted. Yes, Uefa should have acted. Yes, Irish government should have acted. Yes, @faireland should have acted. Reality is none did and, fair or not, it leaves me and many others seeing that Ireland team later as scabs crossing the picket line. #Ireland #FIFA #UEFA #IrelandTeam #IE

Ireland players have two choices. 1. Play game, be absolutely hated at home for doing it, probably not win anyway. 2. Don't play game, try make a difference, get legendry status at home, be recognised globally as moral, probably start positive change. Why is that difficult? #IrelandPlayers #MoralChoices #LegendaryStatus #IE

Tired of hearing that Ireland players have "been put in very difficult position". They've to choose to do the right thing by not playing a game of football. Do you know who've been put in an actual difficult position? The people of Palestine and they've no choice. #israel #Palestine #Ireland #Football #IE #PS #IL

Benjamin Netanyahu called people not wanting to listen to him "moral cowards". All they do is four things. 1. Murder. 2. Steal. 3. Lie. 4. Project. That's it. #Israel #Netanyahu #Israel #Politics #IL
