Le président cubain a salué les résultats de l'institution scientifique du système d'entreprises de Cupet, qui a mis fin au tabou selon lequel notre pétrole, à forte densité et viscosité, ne pouvait pas être raffiné

Il a été démontré "que le pays dispose de capacités scientifiques et d'innovation, et qu'il peut aborder des problèmes complexes sous l'angle de la science et de l'innovation".

Joseph Massad, 18 mai 2026. - Nul n'est à l'abri. Les forces pro-israéliennes se mobilisent pour détruire les forces progressistes dans les pays occidentaux.

Caricature de Carlos Latuff, 2019. Le lobby israélien tire à coups de fausses accusations d'antisémitisme sur Bernie Sanders en 2020, après avoir détruit Jeremy Corbyn en 2019.

In 2000, the world braced for Y2K. It came with a date and a remedy.

Everything about Y2K was known - the problem, the solution, and the deadline.

Q-Day is something else entirely.

Q-Day is shorthand for the moment when quantum computing crosses a line we assumed would hold-when the mathematics that secures modern life can be broken, and broken quickly.

Taking the lead in containing Russia in Europe on the US' behalf is the prerequisite for rebuilding "Fortress Europe" and thus becoming the continent's hegemon without firing a shot.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced during his recent visit to Kiev that their countries will jointly develop "deep strike" capabilities.

At Naked Capitalism Yves Smith has held for a while that only 'the markets' can prevent U.S. President Donald Trump from further attacks on Iran.

'The markets' here are for one the bond market where any slump would mean lower treasuries, higher interest rates and problems for the U.S. to finance its debt. It is here where inflation hits Trump the most. Any interest increase is a political burden for Trump who has argued for the Federal Reserve to lower its benchmark interest rate.

The G2 summit between the US and China failed to produce any concrete responses to ongoing conflicts, from Taiwan to Iran, nor did it address issues such as tariffs.

Depuis les premières revendications sionistes du début du XX^e siècle jusqu'aux différentes offensives militaires menées par Tel-Aviv de 1948 à aujourd'hui, la stratégie israélienne au Sud-Liban obéit à une logique constante : s'emparer de ses ressources hydrauliques, fragmenter le pays du Cèdre selon ses lignes communautaires et y imposer un État vassal.

Tutt'altre prospettive, certo baldanzosamente ottimistiche, si sono invece dati i convenuti in terra russa, la convinzione tanto delle organizzazioni promotrici, quanto di tutte le altre forze presenti e aderenti al progetto, è quella di contraddire l'appiattimento equivocamente liberale della socialdemocrazia mondiale per riscoprire un socialismo costruito sui diritti sociali, il diritto al lavoro, la pace come orizzonte della politica planetaria e la solidarietà come pratica concreta di una fattiva costruzione volta a un corale cammino emancipativo delle donne e degli uomini, di tutti i popoli e di tutte le nazioni della terra.
