Twenty years ago I arrived in France for a one-year sabbatical to work with the R&D group of a large French company, yet I am still here. And now it has been four years since I retired. The name of that company is Air Liquide ("Liquid Air" in English). I will present a short history of this significant, but relatively unknown, company to the general public.

It's clear that an organization which is, minimally, $38 TRILLION in debt can't afford to support the approximately 11.7 million foreign nationals crossing our borders in just the last five years - 10 million counted via border encounters and an additional estimated 1.7 million "gotaways." And that's only during the Biden Administration.
Including estimates for local, state and national expenses for migrant health care, education, social services, etc., dollar costs run to hundreds of billions per year.

Few voices in the European debate on the war in Ukraine can claim to combine actual military experience with sound arguments for diplomatic pragmatism and persistent calls for an end to the conflict. General Harald Kujat stands out even among those precious few. He is a retired four-star general of the German Air Force, he served as Inspector General of the Bundeswehr from 2000 to 2002, the highest-ranking military position held by a commissioned officer on active duty in the German armed forces.
No group's criticisms of the current status quo world order are more incisive and accurate than theirs.

Political maturity is finally admitting to yourself that the angriest, most disconcerting communist you've ever met was pretty much right about everything.
If you learn enough, stay humble enough, and pay close enough attention, eventually that's what happens.

In 2021, amid a global pandemic, warnings that the federal government might repurpose warehouses into detention facilities on American soil were dismissed as speculative, alarmist, even conspiratorial.
Five years later, what was speculation is a blueprint for locking up whomever the government chooses to target.
According to investigative reports, the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement are actively purchasing warehouses, factories and industrial buildings across the country for use as detention centers-often with little public notice, minimal oversight, and virtually no accountability.

Today the last nuclear treaty between the the United States and the Russian Federation expired. It is the first time in 64 years that there will be no limits on each side's nuclear forces.
The New START Treaty had been limiting the number of deployed strategic nuclear weapons and weapon carriers. Other nuclear related treaties like the Anti Ballistic Missile treaty, the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and the Open Skies Treaty have previously been ended by various U.S.

The European Union, having just woken up to the United States under Donald Trump, doesn't know how to react to the breakdown of the transatlantic link. It can only respond as it always has, in every political crisis, by strengthening its federalism and its dependence on Washington. This maladjustment inevitably leads to its failure.
The European Union has been shaken by:

Congressional Republicans have been trying for seven months to get Bill and Hillary Clinton to talk about suspected international sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The couple, who had numerous interactions with the pedophile, recently agreed to finally sit down for depositions - but on their own terms, which may be another stalling tactic.
On January 21, Republicans on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, with help from nine Democrats, voted to recommend that the House hold the Clintons in contempt for disregarding subpoenas to testify.
Tamer Mansour,
Malgré le syndrome de dépendance externe de l'Europe, elle possède toujours des ressources institutionnelles, réglementaires et matérielles pour transformer cette dépendance en un partenariat, notamment avec les États-Unis, mais pas en un partenariat adoptant une position antagoniste face à l'ordre mondial de plus en plus multipolaire.
La dépendance de l'Europe à l'égard des États-Unis peut être considérée davantage comme une maladie structurelle que comme une habitude stratégique, une maladie qui entrave les choix de l'Europe dans les domaines technologique, sécuritaire et économique.

Nella geopolitica di Trump tutto è "business".
Nelle ultime due settimane sono stati trasmessi all'Iran due messaggi significativi, entrambi respinti.
Uno proveniva dagli Stati Uniti e l'altro da Israele. Il primo era: "Noi [gli Stati Uniti] effettueremo un attacco limitato e voi dovreste accettarlo; o almeno, dare solo una risposta simbolica".
Teheran ha respinto questa richiesta, affermando che avrebbe considerato qualsiasi attacco come l'inizio di una guerra su vasta scala.

Dépouillé de sa grandeur historique, l'impérialisme n'est rien d'autre que la soif de pouvoir de ceux qui violent des enfants en toute impunité.
On se raconte des mensonges réconfortants sur le pouvoir. On s'imagine que tous ceux qui réussissent à diriger des empires, des nations ou d'immenses fortunes le font avec mérite, grâce à leur vision et à une sorte d'aptitude darwinienne qui nous fait défaut.
