If the bill's supporters get what they want, millions of Americans would find their ability to access TikTok terminated by the government, just in time for the November 2024 election. This radical state intervention was endorsed last week by the House Energy and Commerce Committee in a unanimous 50-0 vote, establishing a coveted bipartisan consensus in favor of expelling American users from their preferred social media platform. This extreme action is to be carried out, as usual, in the alleged name of "national security," and to more aggressively combat perceived "foreign adversaries."The bill names TikTok as a "foreign adversary controlled application," with the "adversary" in question being China, but it also goes further and prohibits "applications" associated with the standard litany of official U.S. "adversaries"—Russia, North Korea, and Iran. More additions to the list are always possible, perhaps in the event that Cuba or Venezuela develop a short-form dance video app that becomes suspiciously popular with American teens.Another provision authorizes the President, who is currently Joe Biden and may soon be Donald Trump, to make unilateral determinations about whether certain applications "present a significant threat to the national security of the United States," and therefore must be banned like TikTok. The criteria for making such a determination is left conspicuously vague.So if you really want to give Biden or Trump more unilateral power to control the proliferation of content online, this appears to be just the bill for you.

In a series of stark warnings that have reverberated through the corridors of power in Washington, CIA Director William Burns has highlighted a grim forecast for Ukraine amidst its ongoing conflict with Russia. Burns has unequivocally stated that without a significant ramp-up in military support from the United States, Ukraine stands on the precipice of defeat by the end of 2024. This dire prediction underscores the critical role of US aid in the balance of power in Eastern Europe and the broader implications for international security and democratic sovereignty.The urgency of Burns' message comes at a pivotal moment as the US House of Representatives gears up to vote on a substantial $61 billion aid package for Ukraine. This financial lifeline, aimed at bolstering Ukraine's military capabilities, has faced delays, primarily due to opposition from Republican lawmakers closely aligned with former President Donald Trump. The CIA director's warnings serve not only as a call to action but as a sobering reminder of the high stakes involved in the US's foreign policy decisions.Burns' analysis paints a picture of a Ukrainian military stretched thin, running low on ammunition and essential resources necessary to sustain its defense efforts against Russian aggression. The potential for Russia, under Vladimir Putin, to dictate the terms of a political settlement in the absence of increased Western support is a scenario that carries significant geopolitical ramifications. It highlights the intricate dance of diplomacy, military strategy, and international alliances that define the current global order.The implications of Burns' warnings extend beyond the immediate military and political concerns, touching on the broader themes of democracy, sovereignty, and the international community's commitment to upholding these principles. The situation in Ukraine is a litmus test for the resolve of democratic nations in the face of authoritarian aggression, making the decisions of the US lawmakers all the more consequential.As the world watches closely, the outcome of the impending aid package vote and the subsequent actions of the United States will not only determine the fate of Ukraine but also signal the depth of America's commitment to global stability and democratic values. The clock is ticking, and the decisions made today will resonate far beyond the battlefields of Eastern Europe, shaping the international landscape for years to come.

Russia’s permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzia has called on the United Nations to consider imposing sanctions on Israel over its non-compliance with obligatory resolutions passed by the Security Council.He noted that UNSC Resolution 2728 demanded a ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan, and this had not been implemented by Israel.“We remind you once again that non-compliance with mandatory Security Council resolutions must lead to sanctions against violators. We believe that the Council should consider this issue without delay,” Nebenzia said on Thursday during a UN Security Council meeting.French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne also called for sanctions on Israel earlier this month. In February, Paris sanctioned 28 Israeli nationals, though the French government has not published their names.The Hamas ceasefire resolution was adopted by the Security Council on March 25 in a vote of 14 in favor to none against, with the US abstaining. The document demanded a ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan, the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, and for humanitarian access to Gaza to be ensured.The delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza is nearly impossible at the moment, Nebenzia said, pointing to data from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which demonstrates that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are currently blocking half of the humanitarian convoys heading to the region.
