No-one can ever trust Putin ever again.

FYi, for a lateral analysis to Chinese Spanish relationship, see also this Elcano Royal Institute , basically:

" Spain shares the EU’s threefold vision of China as partner, competitor and rival, and advocates a greater role for its institutions and greater coordination and collective action among its member states to achieve a more balanced relation and overcome a clear bilateral asymmetry in favour of China."

Add: According to some opinions in the FT, Pedro Sanchez , the current PM (socialist party) is sort of a tactical maverick, sometimes seemingly inconsistent, but it’s all about the needs of (his) current political arena.

…but that was in 2013, she was still young and naive /s.

Funny, what people are willing to state, as long as they believe it’s not about THEM.

From OP’s context link: "While Marine Le Pen has just been sentenced for embezzlement of public funds to four years in prison and five years of ineligibility, preventing her from running in 2027, the same Marine Le Pen nevertheless defended, a few years ago, the greatest firmness against convicted elected officials. « When are we going to implement lifetime ineligibility for all those who have been convicted of acts committed during their mandate? » asked Marine Le Pen, on Public Senate, in 2013…

FYI , HERE is the most up to date list (including Turkiye, Israel and some others)

Maybe there is a reason why they use this title. Ofcourse green energy is good, but we have been there for a while. Obviously, not a problem yet in Canada or in the USA. So it seems Europeans should be happy, while ignoring or marginalizing the nuances and problems of the current energy & electricity systems. The grid is congested and causes electricity fall out (Grid congestion is posing challenges for energy security and transitions. Also there are companies being paid to use electricity in energy machines that do absolutely nothing, (except deburden the grid by consuming electricity). And they make good money with that. Ed: in( brackets)

Yips even if you want to do business, the US admin just makes it undoable or say stuff that rubs you in a very wrong way. Fuck the DEI BS.

IIRC, Canada will or has joined Europe’s Horizon programme.

It’s sickening how we all share the same bubble of air and a few get to decide on the fate of the planet.

100% agreed!

We need a(n international) law against The Superrich & Oligarchs. They are socially disruptive and they wield too much uncontrolled power, which they use in their own interest, usually.

Also, unfortunately one cannot underestimate humanity’s greed, power-drunkness, jealousy, frail ego, stupidity, etc. If it’s not one morron, it’s another.

I do believe the majority of humans are OK, so hopefully we will soon get there.

Moscow doesn’t want peace.

It’s a very worrying signal for the US, whichever threshold you use.

Consequences, and the end of and era. I reckon, the world will be a very chaotic place for a while, as a new world order must find it’s balance.

The Orange Toddler & his Cronies won’t even know the difference ( image stolen from Pitmaster).

It’s the only way forward. Adelante!

drove them extinct

Humans do have a strange way of showing their love…

Germany has updated it’s travel advice to the USA as well. (ed)

Well, I can’t imagine that happening in The Netherlands (Amsterdam) any time soon.

Putin’s Mir and Trump’s " peace deal" really have a lot in common: it just looks like war to me.

So they exexute a couple thousands of people every year. And probably even more?! That’s … alot.

We have a lot of undeclared stuff going on, unfortunately.

In this context the Dutch government advised per 6th of March " Dutch government recommends citizens get 72-hour emergency kits: ‘civil defence must increase’"

The French version sounds more comprehensive.

Some weeks ago, there was an interview with the Dutch Minister of Internal Affairs, and he admitted to have been properly prepared for over a year.

When asked why he had, he answered that since he was now more involved in the Government as a Minister, he had more knowledge of events, so to speak . Admittedly saying something without saying anything.

Srebrenica genocide.

Is the Bosnian Genocide widely known in Serbia, or is it being denied?

As it was the main reason that led to the U.N. resolution, which requested NATO to take action in it’s place.
