En este interesante debate llevaba la voz cantante el que fue muy crítico con la religión y embajador en su día de España (aunque nacido en Cuba) en el Vaticano.

مسئلہ کبھی یہودی نہیں تھے۔ اصولی طور پر، یہودی اور مسلمان عقائد اور روایات کے لحاظ سے ایک دوسرے کے سب سے قریب ہیں۔
اصل مسئلہ اس انتہاپسند ریاست کے نام پر قبضے کا یہ تصور ہے۔
حضرت یعقوبؑ اپنے نام کو اس طرح کے معاملے کے لیے غلط استعمال ہوتے دیکھ کر یقیناً بہت مایوس ہوں گے۔
I am not sure the American military establishment has fully grasped what Trump has actually done here. So let me spell it out in language even a Pentagon procurement officer can understand.
Europe has been buying American weapons at a staggering rate. In 2024 alone, US foreign military sales notifications to European countries hit $76 billion. Four times the European average since 2008.  F-35s, missile systems, air defence, ammunition. All of it American. All of it coming with decades of service contracts, maintenance agreements, spare parts, software updates and training programmes worth hundreds of billions more over their operational lifetimes.
Between 2020 and 2024, the United States supplied 64 percent of all European weapons imports. 
That is now over.
Europe has an $860 billion defence plan, and American contractors are being frozen out. The goal is 80 percent of all military purchases from European factories by 2030.  Airbus. Rheinmetall. KNDS. Saab. Leonardo. BAE Systems. They are about to receive the largest order book in the history of European defence industry. Because Trump made it politically impossible for any European government to keep writing cheques to Washington.
Some European governments have discussed worries that the Pentagon could remotely disable American F-35 fighters or impose restrictions on how US weapons can be used.  When your supplier is also threatening to annex your allies, that is not paranoia. That is basic procurement logic.
Trump set out to make America great again. He has succeeded magnificently. For Rheinmetall.

Take America First to its logical conclusion.
A European city takes a nuclear strike in an exchange between the US and Russia. Article 5 says an attack on one is an attack on all. MAD says the response must be guaranteed or the deterrence doesn't work.
But if America First is the actual operating principle — not a slogan, not a campaign line, the actual policy — does the president trade New York for Warsaw? Does he risk Los Angeles to avenge Berlin? Does he guarantee the destruction of American cities to honour an alliance he's spent four years calling a bad deal?
If the answer is yes, then America First was never real. It was theatre. The alliance was always the priority.
If the answer is no, then NATO died the moment the doctrine was adopted. Because MAD only works if the response is certain. Introduce one percent doubt and the deterrence collapses. Putin doesn't need to launch anything. He just needs to believe an America First president would hesitate.
Every "pay your two percent" tweet. Every "protection money" post. Every "we won't forget and we won't forgive." Every single one of those introduces the doubt that makes the deterrence weaker.
You cannot simultaneously tell your allies they're freeloaders and expect your enemies to believe you'd die for them.
That's not a political observation. That's nuclear physics. The chain reaction only works if every link holds. Break one and the whole thing fails.
America First or Mutually Assured Destruction. Pick one. You can't have both.
Europe’s Greatest Military Strength Is the One Critics Call a Weakness
“A European army is impossible,” people say. “Too many languages. Too many weapons. Too many egos.”
Good. That is called redundancy. You know, the thing you want when someone starts blowing up your factories, your ports, your satellites, your cables, your supply chains.
A monoculture army is efficient until it gets punched in the same spot. Europe’s “mess” is actually resilience: more suppliers, more routes, more doctrines, more talent, more ways to keep fighting when one system fails. Uniformity is tidy. Resilience is survivable.
Standardize the boring stuff that wins wars. Ammo. Fuel. Comms. Training. Logistics. Command. Then let nations keep their flags and traditions while the machinery works as one. The enemy does not care if the order arrives in French or Polish. They care if it arrives in time.
Europe is not too diverse for a common army. Europe is too diverse to survive without one.

Llorando exhausta, cansada de vagar por su propia tierra, donde ningún lugar es seguro y el peligro acecha en cada esquina...
No dejes de ser su voz, no dejes de hablar de Palestina.
En este país, en cuanto un niño tiene un poco de tos y algo de fiebre, lo llevamos a urgencias, es lo normal.
Ahora imaginad vivir en una tienda de campaña, todo el día mojado y con frío, acabarán con alguna pulmonía y sin poder llevar a un hospital o no puedes encontrar medicinas.
Esto está pasando en Gaza.
Ahora mismo.
El mundo ha pasado página.
Triste.
No hay autor ni prueba: no hay delito. Aun así, el Supremo condena al Fiscal General del Estado por “alguien del entorno”. Desmentir un bulo no es revelar secretos, pero lo que hicieron los propios jueces del Supremo sí que lo es.
La pregunta no es qué hizo él, sino qué está haciendo el Poder Judicial.
Hemos oído las grabaciones en @elpais_espana y tve:
La inhumanidad es obscena, pero admitan que es consustancial al modelo:
“solo pacientes rentables”.
Tan ruin como evidente.
Aprendí mucho de esto hace casi 15 años, a raíz de una investigación. Hilo🧵
