🇷🇺🇺🇸 Putin just casually buried CNN while taking questions:

“You said that CNN always gets to ask questions in the U.S.

I think something changed in the U.S. I don’t think CNN is called on for questions anymore.”

When Putin is mocking your access to the White House, the humiliation has gone international.

🇧🇪🇫🇷 Belgium gets blindsided as France's school protests jump the border...

Mass student blockades over class sizes and funding cuts hit around 10 schools across Liège.

Protestors barricaded campuses, launched firecrackers, eggs, and apples while lighting HUGE fires that forced police to shut down local traffic.

Organizers are now calling to take this movement NATIONWIDE.

Class is out, and class warfare is trending…

U knjizi "And Then What? Inside Stories of 21st-Century Diplomacy", u poglavlju koje se bavi pregovorima sa Iranom, Catherine Ashton opisuje sastanke na marginama Generalne skupštine UN-a kao "speed dates" za diplomate.

Sastanci se, prema njenom kazivanju, održavaju ili u uskim prostorijama, odnosno separeima, u kojima se nalaze dvije stolice za funkcionere i mali stol, ili u hodnicima. S obzirom na pretrpan raspored i kratko vrijeme, sastanci tek toliko traju da diplomate imaju vremena da razmijene pozdrave, da se fotografišu i da odu dalje.

Imajući u vidu njeno dragocjeno svjedočenje, postavlja se pitanje kako je Konaković u tom kratkom vremenu i u takvim okolnostima stigao nagovoriti sve, razmijeniti sve te informacije i dati "jasnu i potpunu sliku"? Naravno da to nije moguće u tako kratkom vremenu, ali kad se laže, sve postaje moguće.

U vezi sa svim naprijed iznesenim, s jedne strane dolazi se do spoznaje o političkoj i diplomatskoj težini pojedinačnih sastanaka, posebno onih na najvišem nivou, kao, na primjer, sa šeficom kabineta predsjednika Trumpa.

S druge strane, pravi se razlika između ljudi koji odgovorno, bez buke i praznog hoda, rade svoj posao i zastupaju svoje politike, te onih, poput Konakovića, koji su, kad se svede račun i podvuče crta, neodgovorni. Mlate u prazno, lažu, zloupotrebljavaju službeni položaj, zakidaju službenike u ministarstvu kojim rukovode i politički žive na društvenim mrežama.

Since Jasmin has locked the replies, his argument deserves to be examined somewhere people can actually respond to it.

What he presents is not evidence of a “single political project.” It is an interpretation built by connecting two separate and disputed events and then assigning them a common political motive.

The Memorial Center case concerns allegations relating to tax and contribution payments. The police of Republic of Srpska state that they are acting at the request and under the supervision of the competent prosecutor in Bijeljina. That does not prejudge anyone’s guilt. But nor can a prosecutor-supervised financial inquiry simply be redefined, without evidence, as an ethnic persecution campaign.

The school incident should likewise be established on facts. Parents have made serious allegations; the school disputes that there was a Bosnia-specific ban. If discrimination occurred, it should be addressed accordingly.

What is missing from Jasmin’s argument is evidence that these two events were coordinated, directed by the same actors, or form part of any policy to force Bosniaks to leave Srebrenica.

Yet from that unproven connection he proceeds to an exceptionally grave claim: that what is happening today represents a “political continuation” of wartime expulsions.

Such accusations require evidence proportionate to their seriousness.

None is provided here.

The Republic of Srpska, its institutions and its police do not become illegitimate simply because someone objects to an investigation they are conducting. Their actions can and should be scrutinized, criticized and, where appropriate, challenged through legal and institutional mechanisms. But declaring every disputed action evidence of an organized campaign of ethnic persecution is not scrutiny. It is a political conclusion presented as an established fact.

The method is straightforward: assume the motive, interpret every event through that assumption, invoke the war, and then use the emotional weight of history as a substitute for proving the present-day claim.

That may be effective rhetoric. It is not evidence.

And locking the replies does not make the missing evidence appear.

I always enjoy reading these tirades of hate and angst. Of course, he conveniently skips Dodik's meeting with Netanyahu, Serbian BiH member, Zeljka Cvijanovic's often White House meetings, as well as warming relations with several EU member states, those are simply inconvenient for his nationalistic emotions. By the way, perhaps he conveyed messages from D.C or Tel Aviv?

🇫🇷 France’s debt has surged to nearly €3.6 TRILLION, representing 119% of the country’s entire GDP!

The government is now proposing €54 billion in savings for 2027, while trying to cut its annual budget deficit to 5% of GDP despite weak growth and higher energy prices.

For comparison, U.S. federal debt is also roughly 120%+ of its GDP on a gross basis.

France is now as proportionally deep in debt as the U.S., without being able to snatch the presidents of oil-rich nations out of their beds... 😂
