La melancolía de la izquierda no significa el abandono de la idea de socialismo, de la esperanza de un futuro mejor, significa repensar el socialismo en un tiempo en que su memoria está perdida, oculta y necesita ser redimida. (Traverso)
Sigo estupefacto con el repliegue amoral de gentes de izquierda que ponen por delante los efectos electorales inmediatos a la higiene democrática de nuestro país. Y de su política.
Me refiero, evidente, al caso Zapatero.
I received several reactions to the discussion I hosted about how nuclear weapons may be used against Europe to restore deterrence. To be clear, this is not a normative argument about what I think should happen or what I think is just. My argument is what I think will happen. European leaders have become so deeply involved in the attacks on Russia that the Kremlin is under great pressure to restore its deterrence.
Once Russia retaliates with conventional weapons against European targets (weapons facilities, logistics centres), the Europeans will more forcefully attack Russia. At this point, I believe that it is more likely than not that Russia could launch a limited nuclear strike (with tactical nuclear weapons, not strategic). This should not be a controversial prediction. NATO countries are doing the war planning; their intelligence agencies are doing the targeting; their contractors are pulling the trigger; they are supplying the long-range weapons; and they are also using NATO territory to strike Russia. This will only escalate as the Europeans are talking about mass-producing long-range weapons for "Ukraine" to strike deeper and deeper inside Russia, and are setting dates for when Europe will directly attack.
Our political leaders are obsessed with defeating the world's largest nuclear power, which considers itself to be fighting in a war for its existence. It should worry us that our political leaders did not define what a NATO victory looks like in this scenario, and we should also be worried that our political leaders have incrementally become so directly involved in attacks on Russia and still pretend it is merely a war between Russia and Ukraine. Our political leaders sabotaged both the Minsk peace agreement and the Istanbul agreement, and then shut down all diplomacy for more than 4 years while declaring that "weapons are the path to peace". It is obligatory in Europe to pretend this is about "helping Ukraine", but this is dangerous self-delusion.
Where exactly did we think this was heading? Is nuclear war not the obvious end? Can anyone imagine it ending in any different ways if we had done this during the Cold War or if Russia were now similarly attacking the US through a proxy? Biden once said that sending F-16s meant World War 3, yet now it has become controversial to point out that NATO clearly crossing the line between proxy war and direct war will trigger a nuclear war. I see no morality in such self-delusion. NATO escalations are now out of control, we are heading to war, and that war will not be limited to conventional weapons. The fact that this is dismissed as a "pro-Russian" argument demonstrates how completely lost we have become in mindless war propaganda.

🔴🟡🟣 La Marcha Republicana sale por tercer año consecutivo a las calles de Madrid, esta vez para reivindicar “una República para la paz”.
💪🏻🔥 Pese al intenso calor, unas 3.000 personas marchan por la calle Atocha.
La directora de Inteligencia Nacional de Estados Unidos, Tulsi Gabbard, ha denunciado este viernes que la administración Biden financió y ocultó de manera deliberada la existencia de laboratorios biológicos en Ucrania, los cuales albergan "patógenos peligrosos y altamente contagiosos" y corren el riesgo de verse comprometidos a causa de la guerra. https://t.co/rH7FoRHyMJ
En #Londres se celebra un evento inmobiliario en el que empresas de #Israel venden terreno e inmuebles situados en los territorios ocupados de #Cisjordania.
Hacen caja de su rapiña y sus “democráticos” socios son colaboradores cómplices.
@ZackPolanski
The #Israeli real estate event needs to be cancelled.
Selling stolen Palestinian land is illegal and offensive and @ZackPolanski is completely right to press the London Mayor on steps to stop it from happening.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, March 9, 2022:
- Russia has previously invented such blatant lies. About the alleged existence of a chemical and biological weapons development program in the USA. Or in Ukraine under US control. It is precisely Russia that has such a program. Our goal is to dispel the disinformation that it is trying to spread. And to tell the world that not only does it have this program, but there are also examples of the use of such weapons. And we must remain vigilant about this.
Director of the US National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, June 12, 2026:
- Today, I am making public information about the long-term funding by the US government of more than 120 biolaboratories in more than 30 countries. Including in Ukraine, which carries risks in connection with the current war between Russia and Ukraine. Earlier, our intelligence community already warned that dangerous pathogens are likely stored in Ukrainian biolaboratories funded by America. Information about the very existence, history of creation, location and funding of these biolaboratories was deliberately hushed up by very influential people. Who assured that such biolaboratories do not exist in nature. And everyone who said otherwise was called a foreign agent and a traitor to America.
Wow, Ukraine's defense minister says his goal is for foreigners to fill up to 50% of the Ukrainian army's assault troop and infantry positions. "We are opening up the foreign recruitment market to reinforce combat units and preserve the lives of Ukrainian military personnel." ↓
No nos lo contarán en la tele ni será motivo de debate en tertulias. Tampoco recogerán la noticia los digitales.
Pero es importante para explicarse el contexto de una guerra en curso.
Ucrania como base de guerra bio.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 US Intel Declassifies Files on American Biolabs in Ukraine Researching Dangerous Pathogens
Outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard — set to leave her post at the end of the month — has published a tranche of declassified documents detailing the activities of US-funded biological laboratories in Ukraine.
"Many of these US government-funded biolabs were conducting research on dangerous and highly contagious pathogens, in some cases including gain-of-function research, with virtually no oversight or supervision," the Office of the DNI stated.
Gabbard added: "Despite the obvious potential for catastrophic global consequences that research on dangerous pathogens can have, policymakers and so-called medical officials — such as Dr. Fauci — along with figures in the Biden administration's national security team lied to the American people about the existence of US-funded and supported biological laboratories, and threatened those who tried to expose the truth. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence will continue to work closely with partners across government to determine where these labs are located, what pathogens they contain, and to put an end to dangerous gain-of-function research that threatens the health and wellbeing of the American people and people around the world."
The declassified documents reference several such facilities — including centers in Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Lvov, Vinnitsa, and Chernigov — where research was conducted on anthrax, tularemia, swine flu, Marburg fever, Ebola, plague, and other pathogens.
Pretenden que el perímetro de la izquierda quede delimitado por ZP en lo político y Barceló en lo mediático.
Eso es lo que pretende tanto victimismo y reivindicación de los personajes.
A ver: según tu frecuencia sería a Paco al que deberías haber llamado inútil en justa réplica. Que se lo llames a un tercero ( Feijóo), que no estaba en vuestra conversación, parece pelín gratuito.
Pero vamos, lo del papa: desarmar el lenguaje 😁, ministro.
Ukraine is ready to “turn up the heat” on Russia even further, but it needs funding to do so
Kyiv plans to request around $20 billion in additional financing from its partners.
The money would be directed toward weapons, drones, air defense systems, and the development of the defense industry in order to maintain battlefield initiative and increase pressure on Russia.
According to Politico, the request is expected to be presented on June 18 at the “Ramstein” meeting, where military aid to Ukraine is coordinated.
Ukraine is proposing that each allied country contribute between $2 and $6 billion.
@mariacorderobe1@MAYSA25165753@LuisArroyoM Más, que la defensa proponga perito a ver si rebaja el valor de las joyas de 1300000 € a 30000 para que “cuadre” con lo afirmado por ZP
@Deselectrocuta1 Con lo fácil que hubiese sido que Sánchez Acera, que también cambió de móvil y terminales previo borrado de sus memorias, hubiese recordado quien le envió el “pantallazo” revelador. Todo se habría resuelto y el FGE estaría “libre”
Pero la mala memoria (humana 😁) tiene esas cosas
@sehacesaber2023 ¿Lo de la existencia del PSOE “que se entendía con el PP” se referirá a la etapa del “váyase, sr González” los GAL, la X etc que protagonizó Aznar?
Yo me quedaría con el “entendimiento” de la reforma constitucional. El 135. Pero aquello fue cosa de ZP (ícono caído).
