Not long ago, Ursula von der Leyen seemed untouchable in Brussels politics. She navigated the pandemic, spoke loudly about “European unity,” and tried to project herself as the EU’s “Iron Lady.” Today, her position is shakier than ever. The most recent vote of no confidence in the European Parliament has […]
Americans have always been very pragmatic. This is a distinctive feature of this nation, which makes it special. It manifests itself in business, entrepreneurship, a sensible approach to process management, and the ability to assess situations soberly. Unlike Trump, who built his empire on his own, without any corrupt schemes, […]
Instead of satirising nuclear war – a possible if difficult thing to do – the time has come to satirise the laying off and furlough of those who solemnly monitor and maintain such machinery fit, not for preserving life so much as ending it at a fiery, radiated terminus. If […]
Empires rarely fall in noise; they dissolve in silence. The sudden quiet around Budapest, after the cancellation of a long-anticipated summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, may tell us more about the end of an era than any official communiqué. What was meant to be another act in Washington’s […]
While deep state propaganda convinces public opinion that Russia is evil, armies are being prepared for war before our very eyes. The Chief of Staff of the French Army, General Pierre Schill, has just announced to the National Assembly that he is preparing for the next war against Russia. Meanwhile, […]
Donald Trump managed to impose a form of peace in Gaza, not only against Hamas, but also against Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition. His adversaries were neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis, but the Israeli and British “deep states.” Thierry Meyssan Analyzes this sleight of hand. Nine months ago, all sorts of […]
Unfortunately, the Budapest summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin was cancelled. The reason for this is that Moscow insisted on several demands that cannot be fulfilled in the current situation. The choice of venue was not accidental, as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán maintains good […]
The October 20 performance saw few transgressions and many feats of compliance. As a guest in the White House, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was in no mood to be combative, and US President Donald Trump was accommodating. There was, however, an odd nervous glance shot at the host at […]
It might succeed in terms of optics, but this won’t make any substantive difference in reality. The US’ latest sanctions against Russia, the first under the second Trump Administration, are intended less as a weapon against the Russian economy and more as a means of weaponizing energy geopolitics in a bid to break apart […]
Trump’s White House ballroom, which replaces the 25,000 square foot East Wing of offices by a single gigantic 90,000 square foot ballroom, is illegal and must therefore be taken down and the legally required procedures be adhered-to, which would certainly produce nothing like what Trump and his friends are now building […]
