Es gibt zwei Pseudo-Argumente in Debatten mit einem bestimmten Milieu, die mich regelmässig auf die Palme bringen. Das eine ist der notorische Oktoberfest-Verweis („Ja weißt du… am Oktoberfest gibt’s auch sexuelle Übergriffe…“). Darauf gehe ich jetzt gar nicht erst ein. Sicher auch schon gehört, oder etwa nicht? Viel nerviger ist jedoch der Mossadegh-Verweis: „Ja weißt du… Mossadegh… Demokratie… Schah… CIA…“ Dieser Verweis ist nicht nur historisch schief, mit Halbwissen behaftet wegen mangelhafter Berichterstattung und voller Halbwahrheiten – er ist vor allem vollkommen sachfremd. Was genau hat Mossadegh, der im Jahr 1953 seine Macht vollständig verlor, mit der heutigen Situation im Iran zu tun? Nichts. Der eigentliche Subtext dahinter ist allerdings perfide und erst jetzt fange ich damit an zu verstehen, was man damit indirekt sagen will: „Ja weisst du... Die Iraner hatten ihre Chance auf Demokratie und diese haben sie im Jahr 1953 vertan. Jetzt verdienen sie keine zweite – schon gar nicht mit dem Kronprinzen, dessen Vater dafür verantwortlich ist. Sie sind nicht reif für die Demokratie!“ Solche Gedanken nicht nur historisch falsch, sondern zutiefst undemokratisch. Es unterstellt einem ganzen Volk kollektive Unreife auf Lebenszeit. Kronprinz Reza Pahlavi ist nicht sein Vater. Er will keinen Thron, sondern einen Systemwechsel hin zu einer Demokratie, deren genaue Form das iranische Volk selbst entscheiden soll. Zwischen 1979 und heute liegen 47 Jahre brutaler Theokratie. Wer Menschen heute nach Taten ihrer Eltern vor fast einem halben Jahrhundert beurteilt, hat das Prinzip individueller Verantwortung nicht verstanden. Ein Regime, das seit Monaten das Internet lahmlegt, hat jede Legitimation verloren. Die Mehrheit des iranischen Volkes will Veränderung. Diesen Willen ernst zu nehmen, ist kein westlicher Imperialismus – es ist das Selbstbestimmungsrecht der Völker. Reza Pahlavi ist derzeit der glaubwürdigste Führer eines friedlichen Übergangs. Was danach kommt und was aus ihm wird, entscheidet allein das iranische Volk.

This is becoming a daily occurrence here in the UK. But keep pretending it is "just anti-Zionism"

@MattWalshBlog So why would a straight couple that is biologically unable to have children be allowed to adopt? Nature said no there too.

Remember, ending air-defense aid to Ukraine is JD Vance's proudest accomplishments as Vice President.

There is no good explanation for this Administration to quietly lift sanctions on Russia late on a Friday night. Congress and the American people need immediate answers. We must not help Russia fund its illegal war in Ukraine and aid Iranian attacks on American troops.

Putin is our enemy. He's helping Iranian soldiers target American soldiers and assets. Zelenskyy is our friend. He's helping American soldiers shoot down Iranian drones. Most Americans understand these basic facts. Trump, for whatever reason, does not.

I call on the outgoing prime minister to immediately stop spreading fear. I urge him not to attempt to instill fear in our fellow Hungarians for cynical campaign purposes. If this were not a cheap, pre-planned campaign tactic but a real danger, @PM_ViktorOrban — as the responsible head of government — would long ago have invited me, as leader of the largest opposition party, for a briefing so that we could take joint action to protect our homeland and its security, especially if allied assistance were required. I call on Viktor Orbán: if he has any credible information about a threat to Hungary’s national security, he should not communicate through social media or propaganda channels, but should instead immediately turn to NATO and request the activation of Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty - just as Poland did in September 2025. This article allows a member state to bring a matter before the North Atlantic Council, NATO’s principal political decision-making body. Consultations are then held to determine whether a member state’s territorial integrity, political independence, or security is under threat. Viktor Orbán still has 44 days left as prime minister, but in reality he is no longer governing. Each day he sinks deeper into lies, incitement, and threats against his fellow citizens. Does anyone truly believe that Ukraine — which has been at war with Russia for four years and is seeking to join NATO — would now threaten NATO? Under a TISZA government, there will once again be order, peace, and security in Hungary. The government will not frighten its own citizens, but will act when necessary and unite the nation.

This case will be studied in universities in the future, especially in the US. Yesterday, the US submitted an amendment to the UN General Assembly resolution on the anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion. According to the media, they tried to remove the clause on Ukraine's territorial integrity from the text. Let me remind you that the US was one of the guarantors of Ukraine's territorial integrity under the Budapest Memorandum. In exchange for these guarantees, Ukraine gave up the world's third largest nuclear arsenal. I know that most Americans support Ukraine and our struggle for freedom. I am very sorry. P.S. The screenshot in the photo shows how the US voted on last year's anniversary of the full-scale invasion.

In 2019 Congressman Marco Rubio wrote this letter to Trump denouncing Viktor Orban’s democratic erosion in Hungary and backsliding. Today he endorsed Orban on behalf of President Trump.

“Ukraine better come to the table.” - Trump. Russia launches missiles daily. Kills civilians. Leaves people without heating, electricity, homes. PRESSURE THE VICTIM!🤦🏼‍♀️ Is there a clinical term for this? Chronic appeasement syndrome? Strategic moral blindness? Pre-election cognitive distortion?

It can’t be understated how much damage Fox News and Russian propaganda has done to Republicans. America defeated Russia in 1991 just to become their servants in 2026….

🇭🇺🇺🇸 Why is it suddenly in the United States’ national interest that Hungary prospers only as long as Viktor Orbán remains in power? What, exactly, does America gain from tying itself to a dictator in a country of ten million, instead of strengthening relations with the rest of Europe, a continent of roughly 700 million people, integrated markets, advanced industrial capacity, shared intelligence, and the most reliable U.S. security partners in the world? There is no strategic upside here. The United States gains no leverage, no scale, no technological edge, no economic multiplier. What it risks instead is reputational damage, weakened alliances, reduced trust, and long term isolation from the democratic bloc that underpins Western power in the 21st century. Marco Rubio stands as the spokesperson for a foreign policy shift that offers the United States nothing.

Today, we have achieved a significant result – two thousand Ukrainian children have been brought home from under Russia’s control through the @BringKidsBackUA initiative. Each of these returns was made possible thanks to the daily efforts of our people, civil society organizations, and international partners. We are grateful to everyone who has contributed to this fight for the future of our children, our country, and the entire free world. The road ahead remains long and difficult. Thousands of Ukrainian children are still held captive by Russia, becoming victims of its crimes every day. But we will not stop until every Ukrainian child is back home. #BringKidsBack
