“I’m in Kharkov. I’m OK. I just want to say that I’m back online.” Lira said in short video chat with journalist Alex Christoforou on The Duran channel on YouTube.

“I was picked up by the SBU on Friday, April 15,” the blogger revealed.

Speaking about his condition, the 54-year-old said that he was “fine physically,” but “a little rattled” and “a little bit discombobulated.” Lira made it clear that he was forbidden from revealing any details about what had happened to him in detention.

“I’m still in Kharkov and for the time being I cannot leave. The authorities here told me that I cannot leave the city,” he said, adding that his computer and phone were taken away and that he didn’t have access to his accounts on social media.

He is back on air.

The Solomon Islands is just the most recent event. I think there was an article like "Taiwan first, Australia next!" or something like that I've seen before. The defense of Australia against the imagined Chinese invasion was how Scott Morrison sold this Quad and AUKUS business in the first place.

This seems to have graduated beyond simple racism. Simple racism was when white Australians were trying to block Asian immigration because they were "taking over the country". Somehow it's now an actual thing that they believe that China wants to actually take over the country?

The "alliance of democracies" already has troops all lined up all around China (and the world actually), so the hypocrisy has never mattered.

You look at New Zealand next door, and the PM is very careful with what she says, trying to balance her foreign affairs between China/Aus/USA and be nuanced. Morrison on the other hand seems very blustery and Trump-like. So I guess like America, Australian politics has just gotten dumber in general?

Germanic chancellor thinks EU is greatest economic power.

DER SPIEGEL: German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has said that we have failed in the effort to establish a common European house that includes Russia. Do you agree?

Scholz: Russia must accept that open societies have come together near its border to form a strong European Union, which has the greatest economic power of any economic zone in the world. I formulated that precisely in a speech I had the privilege of giving in St. Petersburg in 2016 as the mayor of Hamburg. And Russia should be clear that no one has a plan to attack Russia militarily or to bring about a change of government from the outside.

The QUAD and UK got played by India. So much trade and military deals in India liking without India returning any significant favours.

I don't think they got played at all. Russia gave India a good deal on oil. India turned around and asked America if they could beat that price, which they couldn't.

I think America will give up on trying to stop India from buying Russian oil. The military imports are another question.

India and U.K. signed some sort of defense deal according to this report from CGTN.

Interesting. The UK doesn't produce much these days, but they have a lot of know how, e.g. jet engine designs. Will the UK really be prepared to kill their golden goose to get India to abandon Russia? I doubt it.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen suggested the U.S. is open to scaling back the widespread Trump-era tariffs on merchandise imports to help provide Americans relief from the fastest inflation in four decades.

“We’re re-examining carefully our trade strategy with respect to China,” Yellen said Friday in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Balance of Power” with David Westin, when asked about removing the tariffs. “It’s worth considering. We certainly want to do what we can to address inflation, and there would be some desirable effects. It’s something we’re looking at.”
