Sir Alex Younger, Director of MI6 (the British foreign intelligence service) from 2014 to 2020:
- I think a new era has begun. Where international relations will no longer be determined by rules and representative organizations. They will be determined by the will of individual strong leaders and deals between them. In 1945, at Yalta, a trio of such strong leaders, representing superpowers, decided the fate of small countries. I think Donald Trump views the world in the same way now. And undoubtedly - Putin and Xi Jinping. Europe views the world differently. This is the reality we are entering. And I think there's no way back.
- Why are you talking about this?
- Because the previous reality was unipolar. America had the will and means to assert itself everywhere in the world. That's when what's called globalization and the international security system were born. Now, America is much less dominant compared to others. And it has lost some of its will. It's still a powerful power. It's not worth underestimating it. But America is no longer able to spread its rules across the globe. Now, deals are being worked out and talks are being held about dividing the world into spheres of influence. And the only ones left out are us.
- Europe?
- Yes. And the price of participating in such talks, I'm afraid, is not our "soft power" or values. But fists. And we face a difficult question - where will we get them to participate on an equal footing in these talks?
Let me guess. Nowhere.
🚨 BOMBSHELL! Senator Bernie Sanders exposes the massive AI scam. He confirms big tech oligarchs literally stole humanity's collective knowledge, art, and research to build models without permission.
The elite class is executing the greatest wealth theft in human history!
Kad će Memorandum o Vojvodini?
“Budžet Autonomne pokrajine Vojvodine iznosi najmanje 7% u odnosu na budžet Republike Srbije, s tim što se tri sedmine od budžeta Autonomne pokrajine Vojvodine koristi za finansiranje kapitalnih rashoda.”
Član 184. Ustava Srbije
Od usvajanja ustava do danas Vojvođani nikada nisu dobili nazad ono što im pripada. Iako su sve vlasti tvrde da su poštovale ustavnu odredbu, namerno odsustvo zakona kako se obračunava tih sedam posto ostavilo je prostora za računske manipulacije vladajuće elite. Istovremeno, stav većine stručnjaka da je u kasu severne pokrajine transferisano jedva 5%.
Kako budžet život znači, valjalo bi očekivati i memorandum na ovu temu, ili ćeno samo dobiti onaj memorandum koji se odnosi na Kosovo koje ovakve garancije nema nigde u ustavu?
@OuNacelnik@razglasnews A što je to problem? Svakome je jasno da sudovi, posebno tužilaštva, u najvećoj meri su produžene ruke izvršne vlasti. To je loša mantra kako sve poluge vlasti se mogu pritiskati sem "pravosudja" mada pod time misle na sudove i tužilaštva. To što u Srbiji rade je ispod ljudskosti
A Danish scientist counted bugs on the same windshield, same road, same conditions, every year for 20 years. By year 20, 80% of the insects were gone.
In Germany, a group of volunteer bug scientists did something even bigger. They set traps in 63 nature reserves, not farms, protected land, and weighed everything they caught. Same traps, same method, 27 years straight. The total weight of flying bugs dropped 76%. In midsummer, when insects should be peaking, it was 82% gone. A follow-up in 2020 and 2021 checked again. No recovery.
In the UK, they literally ask drivers to count splats on their license plates after a trip. The 2024 count came back 63% lower than just 2021. Three years.
A 2020 study pulled together 166 surveys from 1,676 locations around the world. Land insects are disappearing at roughly 9% every ten years.
Here’s where it hits your plate. About 75% of the food crops we grow depend on insects to pollinate them, everything from apples to almonds to coffee. One 2025 study modeled what a full pollinator collapse would look like: food prices jump 30%, the global economy takes a $729 billion hit, and the world loses 8% of its Vitamin A supply.
Birds are already feeling it. North America has lost 2.9 billion birds since 1970. A study from just weeks ago found half of 261 bird species on the continent are now in serious decline, and the losses are speeding up in farming regions. The birds that eat insects lost 2.9 billion. The birds that don’t eat insects? They gained 26 million. That ratio tells the whole story.
One of the German researchers behind the 27-year study drives a Land Rover. He says it has the aerodynamics of a refrigerator. It stays clean now.

@MiloLompar Majku ti Ala ovaj truje decu. Znači fašizam, nacizam nisi totalitarni režimi??? A da nije bilo komunista posle rata bili bi kao Albanija. Da ne idem dalje. Besmislene rasprave.
@efe1cd9d80484be Tako je kada svi ćute o tome što nam zdravstveni sistem propada. Svi ćute i bave se glupositma. Za deset godina neće biti javnog zdravstva. Živeli! P.s. zao mi vaše ćerke.
@BakracTina Čekaj čekaj čekaj ... Ko je ovaj i kakav je to filozof? Pa ovo je intelektualno bedno i plitko da ne može gore. Go zove ove ljude na TV? Pomenuto zakoni nisu primenjeni i zato se traži da se primene! A ovaj drugi deo i crkvi je jadno a posebno za nekog "filozofa".
