Xi Jinping parle d'une voix calme, froide, lucide.
Il parle comme un Mandarín, ce qu'il est en réalité... mais il parle de Thucydide.
Ce n'est pas peu. Parce que l'historien grec de "La guerre du Péloponnèse" nous appartient. En fait, dans notre tradition politique et culturelle, il devrait être, ou mieux encore, il doit être fondamental.

En bon néo-Étatsunien et ancien Italien, Federico Rampini du Corriere della Sera ne manque jamais une occasion de défendre les intérêts de sa nouvelle patrie. Il commence d'abord par expliquer que les investissements européens aux États-Unis sont une bénédiction pour l'Europe. Et peu importe si la société allemande BASF, qu'il prend comme exemple, a réduit sa présence en Allemagne après avoir consolidé ses activités aux États-Unis.

La NATO sta cadendo a pezzi ? Considerando le tensioni tra i membri dell'alleanza, l'opposizione dell'UE ai piani di Trump e la presunta minaccia proveniente dalla Russia, per quanto tempo ancora resisterà questa unione difensiva-coloniale?

En plus de toutes les manipulations par l'IA qui apparaissent chaque minute, il y a encore les éléments classiques de désinformation canalisés par la presse grand public.
Le Financial Times d'aujourd'hui a présenté ce "scoop" :

Derrière la théâtralité des sommets bilatéraux et l'écume des guerres commerciales, l'affrontement entre Washington et Pékin obéit à une mécanique structurelle immuable. Popularisé par le politologue Graham Allison, le "Piège de Thucydide" rappelle que la transition de pouvoir entre une hégémonie établie et une puissance montante se solde historiquement, le plus souvent, par la guerre.

Essai sur la détermination d'indicateurs du capital humain et du capital naturel
Résumé
Cet essai vise à répondre à la question : Comment mesurer le facteur humain et le capital naturel ?
La méthode immédiate consiste à choisir des critères qui les définissent et d'en faire la mesure, mais très vite on bute sur le problème qui consiste à faire que ces données aient du sens, soient opérationnelles, et surtout que leur mesure soit objective.

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.
Leurs initiatives ne se limitent pas aux attaques contre des militants et des groupes, des universités et des médias, des organisations communautaires et des artistes, mais visent également des personnalités politiques et des gouvernements.

In 2000, the world braced for Y2K. It came with a date and a remedy. There was panic about doomsday but as I and other programmers stretched the year field from two to four characters, apart from scattered hiccups the lights stayed on. 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.

If the Trump administration wants to be taken seriously, it needs to make it clear that embezzlement schemes will not be tolerated, let alone rewarded with more funds.

American President Donald Trump has repeatedly (and rightfully) criticized the Kiev regime for its corruption. It should be noted that Ukraine has long had such issues, to the point that corruption there can be called endemic.

In Sheffield, England, a group of schools under the organization of Notre Dame High School, designated as a British national teaching school to lead the training of teachers, has developed an "anti-racism" curriculum for seven year old kids that teaches that blacks cannot be racist towards white people, because racism can only be expressed by whites who hold cultural power over black people.

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. RT's article about this major move reminded readers that "Berlin has emerged as Kiev's largest single military donor after the US switched from donating weapons directly to Ukraine to selling it to Kiev's other NATO backers which hand them over.

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. President Trump, suddenly displaying good manners, listened attentively to his counterpart Xi Jinping and imagined what relations between their two countries might be like if they weren't at war.
