La dichiarazione di Trump offre una prospettiva mediatica molto interessante e potrebbe segnare la fine del "Progetto Ucraina", un argomento che merita di essere approfondito.
Nessuno si sarebbe aspettato che Donald Trump, dopo una telefonata di auguri di compleanno al suo omologo russo, dichiarasse che il gasolio russo si sarebbe rivelato la soluzione all'attuale carenza di carburante negli Stati Uniti.

The simplest test for recognizing a collective pathology is to ask each of its members whether they would choose on their own to do what the group is doing.
A pipe and an ocean
A gas pipeline is a pipe. It connects a gas field to a consumer, crosses a few borders, and, once built, transports energy at a very low cost per unit. A supply chain that starts at Russian gas fields, goes through an American contract, crosses the Atlantic on a LNG tanker, and arrives at a European regasification terminal does the same thing but with more steps, more markups, and more friction.

Die Bestürzung über den Abschluss des "Diesel-Deals" durch US-Präsident Donald Trump mit dem russischen Präsidenten Wladimir Putin hinter dem Rücken Europas am vergangenen Wochenende war nur mit dem Schock über das Treffen in Anchorage im vergangenen Jahr vergleichbar. Aus Sicht europäischer Politiker kommt der Abschluss von Abkommen mit Russland, durch die eines der wichtigsten Exportgüter des Landes von den Sanktionen ausgenommen wird, einem Verrat gleich.

"It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets."
-Voltaire (1694-1778)
A government that claims the authority to kill persons after they have been subdued, disarmed, tried, convicted and confined in prison has made a startling claim about the nature of political power. It claims not merely the authority to protect the innocent from violence, but the authority to inflict violence when no immediate threat exists.

The Iran war is straining US weapons stockpiles and raising doubts about Washington's ability to protect the Persian Gulf.
If that weakens the petrodollar and pushes oil producers away from the US financial system, two assets face clear headwinds: the US dollar and US Treasuries.
The petrodollar system helped create structural demand for both.

The young do not think about getting old, and this is to the greatest benefit of governments which spend and inflate younger generations out of any future subsidies they might one day come to rely on. For most people in Gen Z, though, there is at least a tacit acknowledgment that they are paying into a system that might not be there for them when they retire.

"We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us." - Marshall McLuhan
The tool being built today has a name: Pax Silica. The belief behind it is older. It is the faith that experts can manage what markets and democracies cannot. It is called technocracy.
The movement emerged after the First World War, when wartime mobilization showed how extensively governments could coordinate production.

End Of The American Dream

The war in the Middle East has been essentially put on pause until the midterm elections in the United States are over, but once we get to that point Iran is expecting the fighting to go to an entirely new level. So Iran is using this temporary lull in the action to get fully prepared. Ground forces are being trained, defenses are being strengthened, new missiles are being produced, and rallies are being held to bolster public support for the coming conflict.

This is a fact-based history lesson. The lesson is about black slaveowners. Larry Koger's book, Black Slaveowners, is well documented. Koger provides 34 pages of documentation listing the names of black slave owners and the number of slaves they owned in South Carolina and 38 pages of historical notes. Most free blacks only owned a few slaves, but some blacks themselves had plantations and had as many as 30 or 40 slaves.

In the same way that medieval kings seized any excuse to invade neighboring countries, today's politicians perennially seek pretexts to further invade citizens' lives. And there is never a shortage of intellectuals who, like the courtiers long ago, assure their masters that God - or at least social science - blesses their aggression.
Cynical Policies in a Beautiful Place, Destroying Humans

Human despair is being manufactured and monetized by corrupt health care organizations, in ways that defy belief.
Health care companies, working with the neo-Marxists in Western blue states, are using local and state-level policies, and numberless NGOs, to produce ever more drug addiction, alcoholism, mental illness diagnoses, and homelessness.
Writing is thinking. Writing is the practice of sorting through the flotsam and jetsam of your own consciousness and transforming your thoughts and feelings into coherent, logical expression.

Today I saw a post from a popular Twitter account saying, "As soon as AI is good enough to write blog posts in my voice as good as I would have written them, i intend to use AI to do so.

La trêve à Gaza se fissure de toutes parts. Et, par la même occasion, le plan américain d'élargissement des "accords d'Abraham".
La trêve à Gaza, entrée en vigueur le 10 octobre 2025, devait mettre fin à une guerre de deux ans. À ce moment-là, selon les autorités palestiniennes, plus de 72 000 Palestiniens avaient été tués.

Yemen's Resistance Thwarts Greater Israel Plot for Red Sea Dominance
Ahmed Abdulkareem
Al- Hodeidah- Yemen - Having failed to defeat Yemen's Armed Forces and lift their Red Sea blockade in support of Gaza, Tel Aviv began establishing a foothold in neighboring Somaliland as a means of preparing the stage for a regime change operation against the Ansarallah-led government in Sana'a.

La vittoria del Parti Québécois e il referendum del 19 ottobre in Alberta riportano al centro il problema della coesione canadese. La separazione resta minoritaria, soprattutto nell'Ovest, ma il riemergere simultaneo delle spinte centrifughe rappresenta una sfida politica per Mark Carney.
A pochi mesi dal consolidamento parlamentare del governo liberale di Mark Carney, il Canada si trova ad affrontare una questione che sembrava essersi progressivamente allontanata dal centro della scena politica: quella della propria coesione interna.

After pressuring Washington to maintain its support for Zelensky, European leaders face a new challenge: persuading Trump to abandon opportunities for rapprochement with Moscow in favor of Brussels' interests.
Since the meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Anchorage in August 2025, European governments have worked to prevent a significant shift in American policy toward Russia.

Les attaques incessantes, les restrictions imposées à l'aide médicale et les retards dans les évacuations continuent de causer la mort de Palestiniens.
Lorsque le "cessez-le-feu" a été annoncé le 10 octobre dernier, nous savions tout ce qu'il fallait reconstruire. Pour la première fois depuis longtemps, nous avons pensé que nous aurions peut-être le répit nécessaire pour le faire.
