La relance par JD Vance des négociations états-uno-iranienne renvoie, à nouveau, à la question nucléaire. Comme nous n'avons longuement développé par le passé, l'Iran s'est interdit de fabriquer, de stocker et d'employer des armes de destruction massive, y compris nucléaires. Cependant, Benyamin Netanyahou,...depuis une trentaine d'années, proclame à qui veut l'entendre que Téhéran s'apprête à en posséder une et va "rayer Israël de la carte".

For most of the last week I'd been preparing an article on the financial insanity of the AI industry and the unrealistic market values that demonstrated this. The timing seemed appropriate given that Anthropic was preparing to go public later this month with the largest IPO in world history, seeking to value that five-year-old, massively money-losing start-up at $2 trillion.

Halloween used to be a lot more fun. Back in the America 1.0 days of yore. The only thing you had to fear was a razor blade in an apple. But even that was probably an urban legend. Candy was better. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups taste different now. More people participated. I never wanted to "trick" anybody, and never did. Give me treats.

But enough nostalgia. Maybe it wasn't as great as I remember it.

The famous quote-"Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods"-comes from the American journalist, satirist, and cultural critic H.L. Mencken.

America's premier journalist H. L. Mencken became a reporter for the Baltimore Morning Herald and later joined the Baltimore Sun. He eventually became one of the most influential voices in American literature and was often critical of what he perceived as American cant, buffoonery and political chicanery.

"Sous la pression du Premier ministre israélien Benjamin Netanyahu, l'administration Trump pourrait être à quelques jours de lancer une frappe nucléaire contre l'Iran. La cible serait Pickaxe Mountain, dans le centre de l'Iran, où les services du renseignement israéliens affirment que le gouvernement iranien a relancé son programme d'enrichissement nucléaire.

Au bord de l'explosion nucléaire et les luttes intestines à la veille des élections. - Talal Nahle

Le lundi 2 novembre 2026, à quelques heures seulement des élections américaines, l'escalade entre Washington et Téhéran a atteint un tournant existentiel sans précédent.

Les récents développements révèlent que les options militaires conventionnelles ont été épuisées, faisant resurgir un débat catastrophique concernant le recours à l'"option nucléaire tactique" pour frapper des installations iraniennes fortement fortifiées.

The public debate about whether America is a proposition nation has pitted those who describe themselves as heritage Americans against those who believe anyone who embraces the ideals of America is just as American. Vivek Ramaswamy, writing in the New York Times, said:

There are two competing visions now emerging on the American right, and they are incompatible.

Washington has a plan for Iran. According to a source close to the White House, the plan is to seize one or more of Iran's islands in the Persian Gulf. Senator Chris Murphy, who says he has been briefed on what the administration intends to do after Tuesday's midterms, summed it up this week in four words: "their plan is insane." For once, a United States senator has understated something.

Here is how the NY Times shapes the News in order to protect Israel and harm Trump: On October 29, David Halbfinger wrote in the NY Times that President Trump "has made clear he wants Israel to join the United States in another round of war against Iran." Halbfinger blames the unprovoked aggression against Iran on Trump, with Trump wanting Israel to join America's aggression.
