È certamente interessante assistere a una mobilitazione giovanile in Europa come non si assisteva da oltre mezzo secolo. 

In partenza le ragioni sono differenti, anche se poi hanno fortissimi punti di contatto.

A Berlino e in Germania si protesta per il diritto alla casa, al pari della Spagna. In Francia e in Italia per il diritto all'istruzione e contro il carovita che rende sempre più difficile non solo coprire la spesa alimentare, ma anche accedere ai servizi sanitari, in Albania i giovani scendono nelle piazze contro la svendita di porzioni del territorio nazionale ai sionisti, che vi intendono impiantare basi militari per aggredire la Turchia, presumibilmente a Tripoli.

Iran is diversifying big time - not counting only on the overland corridors to Pakistan, subjected to U.S. secondary sanctions.

SHANGHAI - Only hours after the markets priced a possible U.S.-Iran deal, CENTCOM struck Iran's Qeshm island in a "limited and defensive" manner. Qeshm is only a little over 20 km off Bandar Abbas and the hinge of Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program.

Moscow has shown the European Union that continuing the conflict in Ukraine makes little sense, as Norway and Finland suggest the need for a new approach to building relations with Russia, according to an American magazine.

This became clear after the Oslo conference on Ukraine, when the positions of some European leaders visibly softened.

"Finland and Norway's more moderate language is a crucial first step toward a shared European understanding that continuing the war in its current form is self-defeating," Responsible Statecraft reported.

Will the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) become dominant in the Democratic Party ? That is the direction the party is moving in. And now a leading and very high-profile Democrat, who has described himself as "a hardheaded pragmatist," says (at least to an undercover journalist) that the DSA will become the "mainstream democratic movement."

The core dynamic of this era is the notion that controlling the narrative controls the world, as persuading the populace to believe something is true controls their convictions which then control their behaviors.

"Gullibility is a knife at the throat of civilization."

~ David Wong

Naïveté is said to explain the meaning of gullibility, but I think that is much too kind an interpretation to be accepted.
