Les bases civiles de l’OTAN

Pourquoi l’OTAN a-t-elle été si généralement acceptée en Europe par presque tous les grands partis politiques et, surtout, par les sociaux-démocrates ? Ses coûts économiques, ses guerres d’agression illégales, ses dommages environnementaux et les risques d’anéantissement nucléaire semblent en faire un élément de premier ordre. Il est peu probable que des militants politiques bien informés croient qu’une invasion de la Suisse ou du Danemark est imminente. Il existe d’importants mouvements anti-OTAN, tels que Non à la guerre, Non à l’OTAN, mais jusqu’à présent, ils n’ont pas été en mesure d’inverser la tendance.

‘Convivencia’, What Is It All About? – Analysis

Convivencia: Spanish noun, from convivir, to live with the other, used by historians in the 20th century to describe inter-religious coexistence in al-Andalus, between the 8th and 15th centuries. The roots of this word, and of its Occitan twin Convivéncia, lie in an ancient Pyrenean matrimonial alliance.

The 700-Year-Old Polish-Hungarian Brotherhood Is Officially Dead At The State-To-State Level

There’s no restoring the trust that was just lost at that level, but the Polish-Hungarian Brotherhood still endures in the hearts of their patriots since they’ll never let politicians break the bonds between them.

Polish-Hungarian tensions have been boiling for the past two and a half years due to their polar opposite approaches towards the latest phase of the Ukrainian Conflict and finally spilled over this weekend. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban lambasted Poland in a speech where he accused it of seeking to replace the EU’s traditional Franco-German axis with a new one comprised of itself, the UK, Ukraine, the Baltic States, and Scandinavia, with the innuendo being that this is contributing to continental instability.
