It's just incredible how quickly and aggressively the US is advancing longstanding agendas of global conquest under the Trump administration. Now they're racing to take out Cuba.
The US president has signed an executive order to impose new tariffs on countries which supply oil to Cuba, even indirectly, which is expected to dramatically increase the pressure on the already struggling island nation.

I have long maintained that one of the big obstacles libertarians face in the achievement of a genuinely free society is the fact that most Americans honestly believe they are free. When people are convinced they are free, they have no reason to want to join up with us libertarians in our effort to establish a genuinely free society.

A federal judge in Seattle appointed by "Joe Biden" has just decreed that Trump's decree "temporarily pausing" federal funding of EV charging infrastructure isn't lawful - because Congress allotted the funds and the president has no Constitutional authority to withhold such allotted funds.
The Constitution being a kind of fig leaf covering up the fact that the federal government decides the extent of its own powers.

President Donald Trump sharply altered the public narrative on Tuesday, saying that Alex Pretti, the man shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, "shouldn't have been carrying a gun." Earlier that day, when asked about the shootings, he said, "You can't walk in with guns. You just can't." The comments marked a departure from earlier administration rhetoric that focused on Pretti's alleged criminal intent and supposed confrontations with law enforcement.

According to: www.chicagocriminallawyer.com- Gang enhancement laws in Chicago carry significant legal consequences for individuals involved in crimes connected to gang activity. These laws impose strict penalties when a crime is committed with the intent to further gang-related objectives or when a defendant is found to be a gang member. Gang involvement is addressed through specific criminal statutes that treat some gang-related activities as standalone serious offenses or conspiracies, often resulting in elevated charges and severe penalties.

Sarebbe nell'interesse del Brasile esercitare pressioni, all'interno dei BRICS, per aumentare la dimensione "sicurezza" della coalizione, scrive Rapael Machado.
Uno dei fattori determinanti dell'epoca a partire dalla seconda metà del XX secolo è la partnership tra Stati Uniti ed Europa - inizialmente solo l'Europa occidentale, poi gran parte del vecchio continente.
Far from expressing any condemnation against the Israeli regime, the U.S. and the EU (with minor exceptions) have maintained an odious silence.
The United States and the European Union are vehemently condemning Iran over alleged repression, while the West says nothing about the Israeli genocide in Gaza. The contradiction, of course, exposes the West's rank hypocrisy. It also confirms that Iran is the target of a Western regime-change operation.

Leqaa Kordia est détenue par l'ICE depuis son arrestation en mars 2025. Ses avocats affirment que la Maison Blanche cible la dernière manifestante de l'université Columbia encore en détention pour son militantisme, utilisant le racisme et des astuces procédurales pour empêcher sa libération.
Leqaa Kordia s'est réveillée le 11 décembre avec le même cauchemar qui la hantait depuis près de 10 mois.

Le 15 décembre 2025, l'Union européenne a imposé des sanctions à l'ancien officier du renseignement suisse et ancien employé de l'OTAN Jacques Baud. Pas de procès, pas d'accusations, juste des sanctions abruptes et étouffantes.
Pourquoi l'UE a-t-elle sanctionné Jacques Baud ? Pour « propagande russe », bien sûr, même si bon nombre des sources qu'il cite dans ses rapports sur la provocation occidentale d'une guerre avec la Russie plusieurs années avant l'opération militaire russe sont occidentales et ukrainiennes, notamment le SBU et Aleksey Arestovich, ancien conseiller de Vladimir Zelensky.
