President Aleksandar Vučić announced that the first 125 million euros will soon arrive in Serbia as part of the Growth Plan for the Western Balkans. But that this is not an unconditional donation from the European Union, but funds for which our country will have to meet certain standards.
This past week Hezbollah claimed responsibility for 46 attacks on military and civilian targets in northern Israel. In two of the attacks, three IDF soldiers were killed. Following the beginning of the IDF operation in Rafah, Hezbollah escalated its attacks, including the use of heavy Burkan rockets (whose warheads weigh up to 500 kgs, or 1,100 pounds), and the first use of a suicide attack drone was detected. In response, Israeli Air Force aircraft attacked the organization’s military infrastructure in south Lebanon and Hezbollah field commanders were eliminated in targeted attacks.
Paix dictée ou paix négociée en Ukraine ?
Le 28 avril dernier Jens Stoltenberg, secrétaire général de l’OTAN en visite à Kiev, a rassuré formellement Volodymyr Zelensky que la guerre contre la Russie pouvait être encore gagnée par l’Ukraine et il a réaffirmé : «La Russie doit bien le comprendre. Elle ne pourra pas gagner. Elle ne pourra pas nous avoir à l’usure !»
«La guerre, c’est la paix». La dette est une bonne chose. La liberté, c’est l’esclavage. Nous vivons dans une société de contre-vérités où le joueur de flûte sera payé, et la dette effacée.
L’encre de la signature du président [Joe] Biden transférant 61 milliards de dollars supplémentaires au trou noir appelé Ukraine avait à peine séché que les médias grand public ont annoncé que cet accord n’était pas le dernier acte d’une politique américaine vouée à l’échec. Les élites n’ont aucunement l’intention de mettre fin à cette manne qui ponctionne les richesses de la classe moyenne et populaire pour les transférer vers la classe aisée et connectée.

Israel has reached its zenith and is slowly sinking under the weight of its hubris and vicious greed and that of its enabler, the United States. We are recognizing now how vulnerable Israel is and how responsible we all are for challenging it.
Ayatollah Khamenei’s initial issuance of a fatwa against nuclear weapons coincided with damning revelations in 2002: Iran was exposed clandestinely engaging in nuclear activities, including uranium enrichment, at covert facilities in Natanz and Arak.
Dans son dernier essai, La Défaite de l’Occident, Emmanuel Todd remet en question «l’axiome» de l’État-nation qui règle les relations internationales depuis le XVIIIe siècle jusqu’à aujourd’hui (axiome fondateur des «Nations unies»). Il propose «une interprétation pour ainsi dire post-euclidienne de la géopolitique mondiale», qui ne repose pas sur l’État-nation, mais fait plutôt l’hypothèse de sa disparition prochaine1.
Turkish forces have killed 17 militants of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) across various regions of northern Iraq and northern Syria, the defence ministry said on Friday.
In a post on social media platform X, the ministry said its forces had “neutralised” 10 PKK insurgents found in the Gara and Hakurk regions of northern Iraq, and in an area where the Turkish military frequently mounts cross-border raids under its “Claw-Lock Operation”.
The recent outbreak of open conflict between Iran and Israel has upended the notional strategic stability of the ‘shadow war’ between the two, and it is possible that a return to the status quo will be harder to achieve than expected.
“The idea struck me to introduce the concept of a fatwa [during the 2004 nuclear] negotiations. There was no coordination [in advance],” Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator at the time recounted eight years after the incident. This was nothing short of a stroke of genius in shaping a false narrative about the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program, which was delivered by a cleric who eventually rose in the ranks and became a two-term president (2013–2021): Hassan Rouhani.
