«Ils jugent impossible de faire marche arrière et de permettre que la situation se stabilise. C'est pourquoi ils tentent de saper les négociations», a indiqué à Sputnik Alexandre Stepanov suite à une attaque de 91 drones contre la résidence de Poutine dans la région de Novgorod.

«Nous avons constaté cette attitude chez les principaux dirigeants européens.

•  L'ambassadeur américain auprès de l'OTAN a déclaré qu'il restait 90 jours. C'est également le délai politique imparti à Trump pour présenter sa politique aux républicains : la paix selon les conditions de Poutine ou la guerre selon les conditions de Zelensky. Trump n'a pas son mot à dire. Il doit simplement prendre une décision.

Muhammad Hamid ad-Din,

Plus d'un an après la chute du régime de Bachar al-Assad, la paix et la souveraineté pour la Syrie restent des illusions inaccessibles.

Au lieu de la reconstruction, le pays est devenu un terrain d'expérimentation pour la stratégie ouvertement coloniale d'Israël, qui bénéficie du soutien total et inconditionnel des États-Unis.

Depuis quelques semaines la France et le Royaume-Uni parlent beaucoup d'un «corps de volontaires» pour l'Ukraine, qui dans les médias a déjà été mis en scène. Ce corps franco-britannique a déjà une existence réelle, du moins sur le papier et se place dans le contexte où les deux gouvernements veulent absolument imposer l'idée d'un cessez-le-feu en Ukraine, avec l'envoi immédiat de troupes sur le territoire de Kiev.

Sous le titre «Comment la Pologne et l'Allemagne peuvent défendre l'Europe», Die Welt confirme la nouvelle orientation militaire et politique de Berlin en Europe : la nouvelle domination allemande de l'Europe centrale en retrouvant sa domination militaire sur ses anciens territoires.

Depuis la réunification des deux Allemagnes, le pouvoir allemand s'est peu à peu remis en place à Berlin en reconstruisant l'ancien centre politique et militaire allemand qui existait durant le Troisième Reich.

The German liberal order resorts to totalitarianism to preserve the hegemony of its elites.

Mentioning "totalitarianism" in Germany quickly forces our minds to associate it with the Nazi period in that country's history. 12 years during which Germany was under the command of Hitler and his party; a command that culminated in the Second World War and the greatest military hecatomb in human history.

Nel bel mezzo della transizione tecnologica, il Vietnam rafforza due assi complementari: con Singapore, parchi industriali di "seconda generazione", energia verde e finanza; con l'Indonesia, 70 anni di relazioni e rotta verso i 18 miliardi di dollari in scambi bilaterali.

Nel contesto di un'ASEAN attraversata da nuove tensioni (in particolare quelle tra Thailandia e Cambogia) e da trasformazioni tecnologiche accelerate, il Việt Nam sta consolidando due assi strategici complementari: con Singapore, attraverso la traduzione industriale della transizione verde e digitale; con l'Indonesia, rafforzando una relazione che celebra settant'anni di storia e che oggi punta a un salto di qualità economico e politico.

President Trump recently signed an executive order changing marijuana's Controlled Substances Act classification from Schedule I to Schedule III. Schedule I is supposed to include especially dangerous drugs that are likely to be abused and have no medical purpose. Whatever one thinks of the wisdom and morality of using marijuana, the fact is it is less addictive, and quite possibly safer, than alcohol.

Many years ago, a budding decentralist and anarcho-capitalist suggested to a pair of highly paid Pentagon area specialist contractors that instead of what we were doing in the horn of Africa, we might gain credibility by recognizing Somaliland, which at the time was peaceful, free trading, and a rare example of an organic government, not at war, nor seeking war.

Freedom is not usually lost all at once through force. It is more often weakened first through forgetting.

As one year ends and another begins, many people sense that something essential has been lost in the way modern life is organized - not through catastrophe or coercion, but through gradual forgetting.

This essay argues that the greatest threat posed by automation is not overt control, but the quiet erosion of judgment-and that freedom survives only where judgment is actively exercised.

Connecting the Missing Dots in Major Historical Events

Earlier this month I'd published an article laying out the surprisingly strong case that a tumultuous love affair with a beautiful young actress had been a central cause of World War II, the greatest military conflict in all of human history.

Europe has repeatedly rejected peace with Russia at moments when a negotiated settlement was available, and those rejections have proven profoundly self-defeating. From the nineteenth century to the present, Russia's security concerns have been treated not as legitimate interests to be negotiated within a broader European order, but as moral transgressions to be resisted, contained, or overridden.

Human life began with people scratching the world they lived in for food and shelter. They traveled as nomads, then after someone invented the rudiments of agriculture they settled down. As producers they were subject to raids from bands who confiscated their produce. Eventually the invaders figured they could make their thieving lives easier by settling among the victims and serving as their protectors - in exchange for life support.

I think that nearly the entire population of the world would like to see peace in 2026, but global events just continue to drag us toward war. I honestly do not understand why more people are not upset about this. The drumbeats of war seem to get louder with each passing day, and we are getting dangerously close to a point of no return.
