We're building a comprehensive database on where Russia's shadow fleet of oil tankers came from. Since end-2021, we track a rise in 250 vessels, of which 100 came from Greece (blue) and the rest of Europe (red). These sales continue to this day. Europe is its own worst enemy...
The motorist pays for his trip in fuel-cash of which he has plenty, and he is satisfied in himself for having the means to carry his large belly comfortably. It is the satisfaction of a man who after visiting a prostitute thinks himself a formidable lover and an artful seducer.
Dear allies, the investigation of the Lithuanian prosecutor’s office has confirmed our suspicions that responsible for setting fires to shopping centres in Vilnius and Warsaw are the Russian secret services. Good to know before negotiations. Such is the nature of this state.
The flood of transshipments to Russia via Kyrgyzstan has been an open secret inside the EU since Russia invaded Ukraine. Poland and the Baltics cracked down on this. Italy did not. These transshipments are a choice. Italy prefers to make money rather than confront Russia...
@klaus_adam Europe should just sanction Russian shadow fleet ships in the Baltic. That way you tank Urals oil price and potentially spike global Brent oil price. That will get Putin's attention and it will get Trump's attention (since higher oil prices will push up inflation...)
🤯 French Senator : "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine. (...) We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor" - Claude Malhuret. WOW ! 👊
Il ministro Salvini ha annunciato che scriverà il decreto sulle concessioni balneari insieme alla stessa corporazione che da decenni sfrutta le spiagge pubbliche pagando canoni irrisori e incassando profitti stellari.
Un privilegio inaccettabile, così come è inaccettabile l’ostinazione di chi rifiuta di riconoscere che questo sistema è illegale, ingiusto e dannoso per la collettività.
Per questo siamo stati davanti alla sede degli Stati Generali del turismo balneare per portare la voce dei tanti cittadini che chiedono più servizi, prezzi più bassi e quindi più concorrenza. @matteohallissey
When in 1966 Pope Paul VI got rid of the Index of Forbidden Books (Index Librorum Prohibitorum), we lost the most authoritative Michelin guide on good scholarship. I cannot even know what I should read now. The church should have never stopped banning books.
@elonmusk So less than 24 hours ago you're lamenting the low birth rate. It's difficult to change that, and so relying on higher birth rates is not going to allow the U.S. economy to grow. Gee, I wonder where we can find people willing to work hard who've already lived in the U.S.?
Let’s not do like the pro-Trump economists defending his attacks to Fed’s independence … let’s say clearly that price controls are inefficient and ineffective - a damaging economic measure … let’s win on intellectual honesty .. it’ll pay sooner or later
La cerimonia di apertura delle olimpiadi di Parigi è stata un grande momento di celebrazione della cultura occidentale. Che non è quella cristiana: è quella illuminista, in cui sfottere la religione è un diritto. Inoltre, c’erano i fottutissimi GOJIRA.
République de les basement.
