À Ceuta, Israël et États-Unis sanctionnent l'Espagne pour son soutien à la Palestine et son refus de s'associer à la guerre contre l'Iran
La percée massive à Ceuta est devenue l'un des plus grands incidents migratoires aux frontières extérieures de l'Union européenne. L'afflux de personnes a pu être stoppé, mais les conséquences humanitaires, politiques et juridiques de la crise persistent.

La recente escalation tra l'Iran e l'Ucraina fa temere l'apertura di un nuovo teatro di conflitto.
La guerra in Ucraina non è mai stata un conflitto limitato all'Europa orientale. Fin dall'inizio ha avuto chiare ripercussioni globali, e gli eventi recenti rendono questa realtà sempre più evidente. L'incidente che ha coinvolto una nave iraniana nel Mar Caspio potrebbe rappresentare più di un episodio isolato; potrebbe segnare l'emergere di un nuovo fronte nella competizione geopolitica all'interno di una delle regioni energetiche più importanti dal punto di vista strategico a livello mondiale.

The key variable to watch in these extremely troubled waters: what is contained in the MoU is strategically aligned with Beijing - all the way.

Washington all but declared that the Iran-U.S. MoU was a dead cat. Not in a coma: it had gone to meet its maker.
Yet now we may be witnessing the Mother of All Dead Cat Bounces - as the organizing framework of Iran's post-war foreign policy.

Washington a pratiquement déclaré que le protocole d'accord Iran-États-Unis est révolu. Pas dans le coma : il a rendu l'âme.
Pourtant, nous assistons peut-être aujourd'hui au rebond spectaculaire par excellence - comme cadre directeur de la politique étrangère de l'Iran de l'après-guerre.
À toutes fins pratiques, Téhéran présente désormais ce qui était auparavant connu sous le nom de "Mémorandum d'Islamabad" comme le fondement de ses futures relations extérieures - et exige que Washington respecte les engagements pris dans le protocole d'accord signé par le président américain.

Quand cela prendra-t-il fin ?
Pas si simple, certaines semaines, de choisir parmi les faits les plus choquants, révélateurs du déclin et de la baisse d'intégrité du gouvernement américain, tant à Washington que, trop souvent d'ailleurs, au niveau des États.
La Maison Blanche et le Congrès ne peuvent qu'occuper la plupart du temps le devant de la scène, compte tenu du renoncement total de tout effort du gouvernement américain pour adapter ses politiques et sa législation aux intérêts nationaux véritables.

Andi Olluri soutient que le "processus de paix" à Gaza sert de cadre de propagande visant à légitimer l'occupation israélienne et les objectifs politiques occidentaux, tout en présentant la capitulation et le désarmement des Palestiniens comme des conditions préalables à la paix. Selon lui, les médias et les élites politiques ont systématiquement présenté la violence, l'occupation et les punitions collectives en cours comme de la diplomatie, tout en marginalisant les propositions palestiniennes en faveur d'un règlement politique.
Un enfant palestinien, accablé par des responsabilités qui dépassent son âge, va chercher de l'eau et aide à s'occuper de sa petite sœur, tandis que sa famille déplacée lutte pour survivre dans une tente dépourvue des services les plus élémentaires dans la bande de Gaza.
Les difficultés de cette famille reflètent les conditions auxquelles sont confrontés des centaines de milliers de Palestiniens déplacés, dans un contexte de blocus israélien persistant et d'effondrement des services essentiels.

Could Congress hold someone in contempt and then order the Capitol Police to arrest and detain that person ? The answer is yes. The more revealing question is why it has almost never done so in modern times.
The power is not theoretical. It is inherent in the legislative authority of the United States. The Supreme Court recognized it more than two centuries ago in Anderson v.

It is an interesting coincidence that only a few months after the US government doubles down on its alliance with Morocco, that Spanish cities bordering Morocco face a coordinated effort to flood Spanish territory with military-age, male, Moroccan "migrants."
In public statements, GOP politicians and their supporters have expressed dismay over apparently sudden efforts by tens of thousands of Moroccan nationals to break through the Spanish borders in North Africa and overwhelm the native populations of Spanish exclaves.

"In a sense, blowback is simply another way of saying that a nation reaps what it sows." - Chalmers Johnson
What goes around comes around.
That is the terrible law of blowback.
When the United States bombs another country, threatens its government, kills its people, occupies its territory or attempts to dictate its future, the consequences do not remain safely contained thousands of miles away.

Remember the oil shock?
When the fighting closed the Strait of Hormuz this spring, the predictions were apocalyptic. Thirteen thousand flights canceled. Britain, we were told, was days from its last shipment of jet fuel. Analysts penciling in $200 oil, and a few of the louder ones going even higher.
When will it end ?

Some weeks it is difficult to pick out the most shocking stories symptomatic of decline and fall of American governmental integrity both in Washington and often at state levels. The White House and Congress frequently lead in that reckoning given the complete abandonment of any United States government's effort to make its policies and legislation responsive to actual national interests.

While medicine has produced remarkable and life-changing results for a variety of challenging conditions, the present reality of our medical system is that:
• Large amounts of research dollars are collected each year to seek out solutions for incurable diseases creating immense suffering for many patients with "incurable" conditions.

Some years ago Paul Robinson, a Canadian scholar of Russian history, wrote about two different views of international political rules:
I pointed out that both Russia and the West claimed to be in favour of a 'rules-based order' and that each accused the other of breaking that order. The problem, I conjectured, derives from differing understanding of what the rules are and how they should be applied.
The naive public remains in the dark because it insists on viewing Washington as it should be, and not how it actually is.

Perusing reader comments to my post this morning, Can a State Attorney General Successfully Prosecute Anthony Fauci?, it appears that many readers somehow (by some miracle of misinterpretation) managed to interpret the post as me stating that a State Attorney General should not prosecute Anthony Fauci.

Twenty-six years ago in 2000 Prima Publishing published a book I wrote with my colleague, Lawrence M. Stratton. We had wanted to title the book, "How the Law Was Lost," but we only managed to get our title on one chapter. The publisher thought that sales required a less intellectual-sounding title and came up with The Tyranny of Good Intentions.

The AIs are breaking free, that's the story.
It started two weeks ago, when OpenAI reported one of their "agents" had escaped its testing area and got loose on the internet to launch an "unprecedented cyber attack".
This was clearly meant to be scarier than the public response indicated, because a few days later OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was on the youtube , asking why it didn't cause more panic:

An American company is building war robots, and the justification for pursuing this risky technology is the same one we hear from people who want to drop a data center in every nook and cranny of the American landscape.
Foundation's View
"U.S. adversaries like China and Russia are pursuing military humanoids and other similar concepts, such as four-legged robot 'dogs' with weapons mounted on their backs, so America needs the ability to match them." This is the view of Sankaet Pathak, a co-founder of the San Francisco-based Foundation Future Industries, which builds humanoid robots.
