What they said

The Iranian Embassy in The Hague, The Netherlands, quoted with approval by Max Blumenthal: 'When U.S. police say, “If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at our deputies, we will kill you,” it’s called law enforcement. But when hundreds of Iranian police & thousands of innocent civilians are killed, Western media calls the perpetrators “peaceful protesters".'

Ralph Schoellhammer: "Why everyone cares about Greenland remaining Danish but barely anyone talks about Belgian cities no longer being Belgian is beyond me. The relevant territory for Europe's future is in Berlin, Brussels, Vienna, etc., but not in Nuuk. That's worth fighting for." 

Professor Jeffrey Sachs: ‘I cannot recall worse political leadership in Europe than now. There’s not one single figure in the major countries of the European Union or Britain that has any intellectual stature or honesty… You had people like Helmut Schmidt, Helmut Kohl, Mitterand. These were substantial people. Now there’s Kaja Kallas. Are you kidding?! Von Der Leyen, are you kidding?! Merz, oh my God.’
