Modern Europe’s industrial prosperity rested on a marriage of German engineering and Russian resources. Nobody wants to talk about this now, but it's true.

Washington worked diligently (using spoilers within the EU and Russia itself) to break up the arrangement, while Beijing hoped to replace Germany as Russia’s principal economic partner. And, of course, the EU obligingly assisted both of them.

Now Western Europe proposes to compete with China while purchasing more expensive energy from America, and Russia has lost out too because its natural partner is the rest of Europe, with which it shares centuries of history and culture. It has very little in common with China (although it is similar to America, in many ways).

The extraordinary failure of the collective European leadership has been to impoverish the prospects of Europe while strengthening the positions of its competitors.

And please don't reply with nonsense about democracy or human rights. The EU doesn't care about these things in Turkey, Israel, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan or the Gulf States, etc. It's just weaponised selectively when it suits.

As someone who very actively monitors Israeli English and Russian language media - blogs, podcasts, etc. - and some of the mainstream Hebrew language media as well, the sectoral/tribal divides within Israeli society today seem to be some of the worst I’ve observed in years.

Just among the Jewish majority - putting the Arabs, Druze, Circassians, and other minority communities aside - you have pretty rigid echo chambers where the same people from different sectors go on the same shows and say the same things to their sectoral audience almost as if on a circuit.

The Haredim/ultra-Orthodox, Israel’s 1.5 million strong Russian speaking community, the religious Zionists, what remains of Israel’s socialist left, among others, coexist while living in parallel realities. This comes into stark relief when Israel has elections and is masked during times of acute national crisis, like October 7th.

mdrrr c’est pas possible d’être con comme ça… soit il a « oublié » l’attentat à Ozar-Hatorah soit il veut liguer les juifs contre les racisés (ou soit il révèle inconsciemment que, pour lui et la République, les juifs sont des blancs)

If I were Iran, I'd attack before the U.S. midterms. Send some ballistic missiles to American bases and force Trump into responding at this crucial point for his term in office. Really capitalise on how unpopular this war is in the U.S. at such a sensitive time in American politics.

But Iran still seems too focused on trying to appear like the "good guys" or "reasonable" on the international stage. No matter what Iran does, western governments will never see them anywhere near that.

Restraint is a good thing for other reasons, but you should also know when is the right time to use your leverage and play your cards to maximum effect.

Now is the best time for that.

@_Fr4n6_ @Lpdmcom @JLMelenchon Que cherchez-vous à démontrer ?

[abribus @Hope2021H]

@Lpdmcom @JLMelenchon Parce que le déversement de propos racistes, xénophobes, autoristaristes qui vont de l'extreme droite au centre droit/gauche macroniste et des medias ne peuvent pas influencer un homme ayant des problèmes psy. Faire un attentat est la démonstration de problèmes psy...

@israel_elects Why do polls all seems to contradict each others ? Especially the mega-polls.

@Echoboes @ChomeurContent En tout cas, le binationalisme ne déroge pas au principe fondamental du sionisme : sa nationalisation et sa territorialisation en Palestine.

Si les mécanismes d’expression politique sont ignorés, discrédités, ou réprimés, il ne reste que l’élection. Sauf qu’en 2022, la campagne présidentielle a été confisquée, avec Macron refusant de participer aux débats, et donnant à peine trois meetings sur toute la campagne.

Ça ressemble pas à 1871 et je vous promets que vous ne voulez pas de cette guerre civile. Il y a beaucoup plus de similitudes dans ce qu'on vit aujourd'hui avec ce que Chili a connu fin 2019.

- Il y a aucune armée qui occupe le pays
- Paris sort pas de 4 mois de siège et famine
- Les manifestants ont ni fusils ni les 227 canons de la Garde nationale
- Pas un seul régiment et pas un seul policier n'a rejoint les émeutiers

People can just watch this map to understand why Israel is such a though nut to crack

Compact size and dense defenses

En 1830, Paris renverse Charles X en trois journées révolutionnaires, les trois glorieuses. En 1871, Paris se donne un gouvernement révolutionnaire, que le gouvernement Thiers va écraser dans le sang. En 2026, l'inculture crasse gouverne un pays au bord de la crise de nerfs.

mon lycée est 2 fois plus vieux que cette mairie pourtant personne n'a parlé de ses 45°C par salle lors du bac et de ses fenêtres qui attendent un remplacement depuis 10 ans que la région ne nous a toujours pas donné. Un monument devient important que quand il brule apparemment
