Reflectii

The world nuclear weapons spending found a significant increase in 2021, finds the latest International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) report published on Tuesday.

In one year, the nine nuclear-armed nations – U.S., China, Russia, France, India, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan and the UK — spent a total of $82.4 billion on upgrading and maintaining their estimated 13,000 nuclear weapons, marking a 9% hike from the year before, according to ICAN’s estimates.

In late April, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused NATO of waging a “proxy” war against Russia by supporting Ukraine as it defended itself from a Kremlin invasion. “War means war,” he said ominously, implying that the Alliance is stoking Ukraine’s resistance to advance its own interests.

They were noticeable for seeming slightly lost at the train stations where they arrived and were greeted by volunteers providing assistance. A call from friends trying to find a place to stay for a recently arrived family would lead to a collective scramble to contact local welfare agencies. In the months that followed, chance meetings at a bar, football match or the workplace would lead a circle of friends to extend invitations to some of the newcomers, who in time would become familiar faces.

En Ethiopie, le Premier ministre Abiy Ahmed a évoqué publiquement pour la première fois la possibilité de négociations de paix avec les rebelles du Tigré.

Il a démenti le fait que des pourparlers secrets étaient déjà en cours avec le Front de libération du peuple du Tigré (TPLF), mais a affirmé que le gouvernement avait formé un comité chargé d’examiner l’éventualité de négociations entre les deux camps. Ce comité sera dirigé par le vice Premier ministre et ministre des affaires étrangères Demeke Mekonen.

Ukrainasta sotaa Suomeen paenneille pitää saada henkilötunnukset pikavauhtia.

Tuhannet sotaa Suomeen jo kuukausia sitten paenneet ukrainalaiset eivät ole saaneet henkilötunnusta. Sen puuttuminen vaikeuttaa esimerkiksi työntekoa ja asunnon saamista.

Zmniejszające się gwałtownie zainteresowanie wojną znajdzie prędzej czy później odzwierciedlenie w działaniach europejskich polityków. Niestety, raczej prędzej.

Gdy widzę w gazecie nazwisko kończące się na »ić«, to przewracam stronę” – tak po miesiącach wojny jugosłowiańskiej powiedział mój kolega, też dziennikarz, również interesujący się sprawami zagranicznymi. Nie jest cynikiem, to człowiek z ponadprzeciętną wrażliwością. A jednak opisy walk, niszczenia, mordowania i gwałtów go zmęczyły. Teraz mamy do czynienia z podobną sytuacją. Ukraina znika z czołówek portali i gazet. Teksty o okrucieństwie Rosjan już się tak dobrze nie klikają. Choć mordowanie i niszczenie idzie na całego.

Дмитрий Дризе — о новых сценариях развития ситуации на Украине

Встреча президентов России и Украины Владимира Путина и Владимира Зеленского не отвергается, заявил помощник российского лидера Юрий Ушаков. Однако, по его словам, подобное мероприятие требует тщательной подготовки. Комментируя тему переговоров с Киевом, Ушаков отметил, что российские предложения от 15 апреля остались без ответа и подвижек никаких нет. Между тем 15 июня на авиабазе Рамштайн в Германии открывается международная встреча по поставкам оружия Украине. А днем позже, по данным СМИ, в Киеве ждут лидеров Германии, Франции и Италии. Политический обозреватель “Ъ FM” Дмитрий Дризе считает, что в мире нет единого мнения относительно Украины.

Henry Kissinger nu a criticat nici modul în care Războiul din Ucraina este dus, nici lipsa de progrese pe câmpul de luptă. Ce a criticat Kissinger a fost chiar strategia, adică planul pentru care a fost declanșată pălălaia. A aruncat o căldare cu apă rece în capul celor care au avut această idee stupidă, spunându-le în față că „s-au înșelat”.

The occurrence of stagflation is associated with a situation of general strengthening in the momentum of prices while at the same time the pace of economic activity is declining. A famous stagflation episode occurred during the 1974û75 period, as year-on-year industrial production fell by nearly 13 percent in March 1975 while the yearly growth rate of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) jumped to around 12 percent. Likewise, a large fall in economic activity and galloping price inflation was observed during 1979. By December of that year, the yearly growth rate of industrial production stood close to nil while the yearly growth rate of the CPI closed at over 13 percent.

Avail Practical Classes Free-of-Cost

In 1993 an essay appeared in a US journal: “Clash of Civilisations” by Samuel Huntington which later appeared as a book [The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order by Samuel P. Huntington]. In the very first chapter we find: “One grim Weltanschauung [“philosophy (of life)”] for this new era was well expressed by the Venetian nationalist demagogue in Michael Dibdin’s novel, Dead Lagoon: “There can be no true friends without true enemies. Unless we hate what we are not, we cannot love what we are. These are the old truths we are painfully rediscovering after a century and more of sentimental cant. Those who deny them deny their family, their heritage, their culture, their birth right, their very selves! They will not lightly be forgiven.” The unfortunate truth in these old truths cannot be ignored by statesmen and scholars. For peoples seeking identity and reinventing ethnicity, enemies are essential, and the potentially most dangerous enmities occur across the fault lines between the world’s major civilizations.” [Italics ours.]
