A Suzane von Richthofen é a prova de que a tal lei do retorno realmente não existe.
Destruiu a vida dos pais e do irmão, mas segue plena, rica, feliz e sem remorso nenhum.
Trump told Europe it was freeloading so often it became received wisdom.
European NATO spent $454 billion in 2024. Russia, an estimated $149 billion.
He demanded they pay more. They are paying more — to themselves.
He wanted customers. He got competitors.
Washington is apparently wounded that Europe dared to raise an eyebrow at the sight of two property developers being dispatched to settle questions of war and peace on a continent that has buried more amateur diplomats than Palm Beach has valet stands. We should be grateful, we are told. Grateful that men with no grasp of history and no connection to any institution of state are freelancing the future of Ukraine.
When Europe objects, the MAGA chorus sneers that Europe cannot even produce a single negotiator. Kaja Kallas calmly replies that Europe has institutions for this, and does not send unelected friends of the family to speak for a democracy.
And what did Witkoff and Kushner bring home, glowing like converts? Security guarantees for Russia. Europe and Moscow have signed more than thirty such agreements already. Russia tore them up. This is not a beachfront lot going to the highest bidder.
🇪🇺 Przypominam, że Europa przedstawiła własne postulaty negocjacyjne wobec Rosji.
➡️ Bezwarunkowe zawieszenie broni.
➡️ Brak uznania rosyjskich aneksji okupowanych terytoriów Ukrainy.
➡️ Poszanowanie suwerenności Ukrainy i jej prawa do samodzielnego wyboru sojuszy, w tym NATO.
➡️ Brak jednostronnych ograniczeń ukraińskiej armii. Ewentualne ograniczenia militarne muszą obejmować również Rosję.
➡️ Wycofanie rosyjskich wojsk z Gruzji i Mołdawii.
➡️ Zakończenie rosyjskiego sabotażu, cyberataków, ingerencji w wybory i naruszania przestrzeni powietrznej państw europejskich.
➡️ Odpowiedzialność za zbrodnie wojenne i współpraca Rosji z międzynarodowymi organami śledczymi.
➡️ Wypłacenie odszkodowań za zniszczenia spowodowane rosyjską agresją.
➡️ Powrót ukraińskich dzieci deportowanych do Rosji.
➡️ Gwarancje bezpieczeństwa zapobiegające kolejnej rosyjskiej agresji.
Kaja Kallas przygotowała dokument w lutym 2026 r., a 28 maja omówiła go z ministrami spraw zagranicznych UE. 6 listopada ponownie podkreśliła, że postulaty te mają stanowić podstawę negocjacji z Moskwą.
Jak zrujnowana Rosja zacznie wreszcie prosić Europę o pokój, powinna dostać właśnie takie postulaty.
How the U.S. Congress allows two of the president's buddies, elected by absolutely nobody, to fly around the world on private jets, engaging in shady negotiations, trying to sell off U.S. allies for backroom business deals, and destroying the last scraps of America's reputation is just beyond me. It's such a shame.
🇷🇺🇺🇦La Russie ne prend pas ces négociations au sérieux.
Elle continue avec ses exigences maximalistes comme si elle avait vaincu l'Ukraine et l'Europe à plate couture, sans prendre en compte le terrain.
Nous saurons que la Russie souhaite négocier lorsqu'elle arrêtera d'exiger des points particulièrement absurdes comme, par exemple ici, le retrait de la Finlande de l'OTAN. Ce n'est pas à la Russie de décider qui rejoint, reste ou quitte l'OTAN, la Finlande est un État souverain.
Autant d'insultes qui sont faites aux Européens et aux voisins de la Russie. Elle veut nous faire croire que ses armes nucléaires en Biélorussie sont un danger alors qu'elles soient à Moscou ou Minsk ne change absolument rien si leur utilisation venait à être mise en oeuvre.
Tout ceci n'est qu'une nouvelle opération de communication. La Russie veut nous faire croire qu'elle est toute puissante, qu'elle gagne sa guerre d'invasion et elle réclame les récompenses du vainqueur. Or, avec plus de 40 000 hommes perdus chaque mois, des gains territoriaux ridicules et une économie moribonde, la Russie est bien loin de la victoire qu'elle prétend afficher.
Personne n'est dupe, et nous ne céderons pas au chantage d'une dictature restée bloquée au début du siècle dernier.
Catholics and Protestants have debated Matthew 16:18 for centuries.
But there's an INCREDIBLE connection between Jesus' words and Psalm 89 that rarely gets mentioned in these debates.
In Matthew 6:15 Jesus asks his disciples: “Who do you say that I am?”To this Peter says: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And then Jesus utters the famous words: “You are Peter, and on this ROCK I will build my CHURCH, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
Now, some theologians have found a very interesting connection between what Jesus says here in Matthew 16 and in Psalm 89.
Let me explain.
Psalm 89 is a psalm about how God promises David an everlasting kingdom… But David's kingdom eventually falls into humiliation. And the psalmist cries out…
What happened God?
Where is your faithfulness?
When will this promise of this “eternal kingdom” be fulfilled?
Now let me read you some verses from Psalm 89 and tell me if this sounds familiar.
1) Psalm 89:20 says "I have found David, my servant; with my holy oil I have ANOINTED him." The word ANOINTED is a verb… and it comes from the same root as the word *CHRISTOS* (in Greek) and it appears 2 other times in that Psalm. Now fast forward to Jesus…In Matthew 16:16, Peter tells Jesus "You are the *CHRISTOS* (the Christ), the Son of the living God."
The same word you see in Psalm 89 you also see in Matthew 16.
2) Psalm 89:26 says "He shall cry to me, 'You are my Father, my God, and the *ROCK* of my salvation.'" Now fast forward to Jesus…In Matthew 16:18 Jesus tells Peter… "You are Peter, and on this *ROCK* I will build my church."
It’s the same imagery.
3) Psalm 89:4 says "I will establish your offspring forever, and *BUILD* your throne for all generations." Now look at what Jesus says in Matthew 16:18: "On this rock I will *BUILD* my church."
It’s the same Greek word.
4) Psalm 89:5 says "Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness in the *ASSEMBLY* of the holy ones!" That word in the Greek translation of the OT for ASSEMBLY is “Ekklesia.” Now fast forward to Jesus… Matthew 16:18 says "On this rock I will build my *CHURCH*…my EKKLESIA."
It’s the same word.
Finally, 5) Psalm 89:48 says "What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of SHEOL?" In the Greek translation of the OT, SHEOL is translated *HADES*
Now look at what Jesus says in Matthew 16:18: "And the gates of *HADES* shall not prevail against [ my church ]."
So in psalm 89 you just got:
- The ROCK
- The BUILDING
- The ANOINTED ONE
- The ASSEMBLY
- THE realm of death (HADES)
So when the Psalmist is asking “where is David’s everlasting kingdom? what happened God? Where is your faithfulness? Who can defeat death?
Jesus shows up in Matthew and you hear the same words and imagery from Psalm 89 all FULFILLED in Jesus.
And 3 verses later Jesus tells his disciples that HE will face DEATH but he will rise again on the THIRD DAY. Here’s the point.
JESUS is the answer to the question the psalmist was asking and JESUS is the fulfilment of that promise for that eternal kingdom. In other words…
The one who BUILDS the church is the One who conquers the grave.
🚨🎙️🇪🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺 Kaja Kallas: "Ripeto, è proprio questo il punto: prima di tutto abbiamo bisogno di un cessate il fuoco. Se cominciamo a discutere di ciò che la Russia chiede in merito all’architettura di sicurezza, finiamo di fatto nella trappola che Mosca ci sta tendendo: distogliamo l’attenzione dal fatto che non esiste ancora un cessate il fuoco e iniziamo, invece, a prestare ascolto alle sue rivendicazioni.
Concentriamoci sulla questione fondamentale che abbiamo davanti. Abbiamo un aggressore e una vittima. E l’aggressore non ha preoccupazioni per la propria sicurezza. Nessuno lo ha mai attaccato. È stato lui ad attaccare gli altri. Insomma, non perdiamo di vista il punto, gente".

It's easier to understand Islam when you see it as a carnal religion, rather than a spiritual one.
It appeals to the base desires of fallen men:
• Paradise as food and sex
• Access to the spoils of war
• Allowing polygamy and concubinage
• Power and subjugation of enemies
Even the fasting is carnal, functionally skipping lunch so you can gorge yourself at night.
It's popularity is driven by this natural appeal rather than by its veracity.
This is in stark contrast to Christianity which remains larger than Islam *despite* its claims being contrary to fallen man's natural inclinations.
• Strict sexual moral code
• Forgive your enemies
• Die to yourself
Size alone does not mean Christianity is true by any means. But when you take into account how difficult its commands are, its size becomes hard to explain outside of "it's just true."
@hoje_no Para um país que não consegue capturar o Dombas completo há cinco anos, a Rússia tá se achando bem mais do que é. Um país com o PIB da Itália não tem autoridade para moldar o destino de um continente poderoso, rico e soberano como a Europa.
Suomen Nato-jäsenyydestä ei kannata neuvotella. Saksalaisen Bildin mukaan Venäjä on esittänyt Abu Dhabin keskustelujen ohessa ehdotuksia "uudesta eurooppalaisesta turvallisuusjärjestyksestä". Listalla on Suomen paluu jäsenyyttä edeltävään asemaan, tukikohtakielto Baltiaan ja Ukrainan pysyvä puolueettomuus. Tietoa ei ole vahvistettu. Vaatimuksen logiikka on silti tuttu, ja siihen on syytä vastata tyynesti, ei.
Sama lista nähtiin joulukuussa 2021. Silloin Moskova vaati Naton vetäytymistä vuoden 1997 asemiin. Kaksi kuukautta myöhemmin se hyökkäsi Ukrainaan. Suomi teki johtopäätöksensä ja liittyi Natoon omalla, demokraattisella päätöksellään.
Miksi pöytään ei pidä istua? Se, joka neuvottelee jäsenyydestään, on jo myöntänyt, että siitä voi neuvotella. Venäjälle riittäisi periaate: naapurin liittosuhde kuuluu Moskovan harkintaan. Sen jälkeen puhuttaisiin enää hinnasta.
Enimmäisvaatimus on harvoin varsinainen tavoite. Se esitetään, jotta saadaan pelastuksilla aikaa tai jotta pienempi pyyntö näyttäisi kohtuulliselta: ei pysyviä joukkoja, vähemmän harjoituksia, rajoituksia asejärjestelmiin. Jäsenyys, josta sisältö on neuvoteltu pois, olisi Venäjälle lähes yhtä arvokas kuin ero.
Vastineeksi tarjotaan paperia.
Suomella oli hyökkäämättömyyssopimus Neuvostoliiton kanssa 1939. Ukrainalla oli Budapestin muistio.
Suomen kuuluu olla mukana, kun puhutaan Ukrainan rauhasta ja Euroopan turvallisuudesta. Meillä on siihen annettavaa, ja poissaolevan asioista sovitaan helposti muiden kesken. Omasta asemastamme emme kuitenkaan käy kauppaa. Sama koskee Baltiaa ja Puolaa, sillä yksi ennakkotapaus avaisi koko itäisen sivustan.
Pelkoon ei ole syytä. Tämä on kylmä arvio riskeistä ja siitä, minkä arvoisia Venäjän sitoumukset ovat olleet. Hyökkäyssotaa käyvä maa ei määrittele naapuriensa turvallisuutta.
Suomen turvallisuuspolitiikasta päätetään kotona.
