🇨🇩 Lo que le costó a Lumumba estar en el Mundial, y eso que se volvió una estrella. Visas, problemas de vuelos, costos elevados, hasta una cuarentena...

Es tambíen un testimonio de lo que le cuesta a los que viven en África estar en esta fiesta global.

We didn't win against Iran but at least it didn't cost us 300 billion USD. 🤷‍♂️

🇺🇸🇮🇹 Trump causes a new diplomatic scandal: Italy cancels a minister’s visit to the United States due to offensive remarks directed at Giorgia Meloni

🗣️ Trump on Meloni:
💬 “She was begging me to take a photo with her. She really wanted a photo with me. I wasn’t going to do it, but I felt sorry for her.”

🗣️ Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni responded immediately by posting a video address on her Instagram page, in which she called Trump’s words completely fabricated and expressed regret that the US President lacks the necessary resolve against the enemies of the West.

💬 “Italy and I never beg anyone.”
Later, in response to “Trump’s offensive statements,” the Italian government took radical diplomatic steps and officially cancelled the visit of the Foreign Minister to Miami, which had been scheduled for next week.

It is noteworthy that the entire Italian political spectrum, including the opposition, supported the Prime Minister.

The incident has triggered a sharp deterioration in relations between two traditionally close allies, highlighting the unpredictable nature of Trump’s personal diplomacy and its immediate diplomatic costs.

🚨 BREAKING: The BBC has revealed the Russian Government was behind the arson attacks on Keir Starmer's home and car

[Vfynn_🥷🏼 𐙚 @Vfynn_]

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:

“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.

The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.

This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”

The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.

And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?

Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.

The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

According to Politico, the Trump administration may cancel planned Tomahawk missile sales to Germany because it fears the move could anger Russia.

Europe's largest economy wants to strengthen its defenses against an aggressive, expansionist Russia, and Washington's concern is how Moscow might react.

This is exactly why Europe needs to become militarily independent of the US.

The two biggest acts of economic self harm in modern history have been Brexit and Trump.

And both have been brought about by Russian misinformation campaigns.

With Ukraine now bound by a ceasefire that Russia completely ignores, Russians escalate their attacks on Ukraine's civilian population - no military objectives in last night's missile barrage across Ukraine, merely terrorism.

There are no five-dimensional stratagems at work here. There is no "art of the deal" (remember, he didnt write or contribute to the bloody book). We're squarely dealing with the geopolitical understanding of five year olds here.

I could watch them all day second guessing themselves.

This was a good one this month.

Zelensky to the U.S.: Where is the response to Russia’s attacks?

Russian artillery hit Kherson’s energy infrastructure today. 2 killed, 5 injured.

“If the Russians violate an agreement and America responds — we all trust the U.S. and the President.
But if they violate it and face no consequences — or worse, sanctions get eased — then it’s no longer about trust, it’s about what to do next,”
said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

He added: “America must react.”

Our information space is nothing less than a geopolitical battleground.

Russia has invested over a billion euros in their state-controlled propaganda outlets in the last few years. It is increasing year on year.
