I'm generally not in favor of pollution, but I've discussed it with the planet and it said to keep calm and carry on, so I guess...Pip pip cheerio upsie daisy and off they go.

Something changed for the tweet to go out? Yeah, Biden's polling numbers are looking worse than ever. So he's trying to play both sides of the fence, pander to the peaceniks and keep the Jewish lobby funding coming in. That tweet is for domestic consumption only. It has nothing to do with the official state department position, that's why it came out on his personal account.

Yeah, if numbers come to life and they indeed lose 70% of their seats it is quite possible that they may never recover from that.
However then you will get what I am saying it will happen to basically all center right parties in the world. They will fall apart to globalist pro business center and the nationalistic right. As a matter of fact UK already has such 2 parties, Liberal Democrats and Reform UK. So the split could be pretty fast.

The things is that in the modern world center and the right are simply two different things. They aren't compatible due a number of reasons and that eventually come down to technology and it's progress. In the US you also have this rapture and around most of Europe this is also increasingly the case. So either are doing business or you are digging in the country. The modern world doesn't leave too much room in mixing the two.

German government’s meeting with Iranian dissident ends in acrimony

Yeah, I read about this. It's a bit stupid. She had previously had public meetings with party politicians which obviously is a very different beast from a government ministry. There apparently was a previous agreement to hold the meeting with the ministry confidential. That's nothing unusual. Partly because of realpolitik and partly because networking with opposition forces of totalitarian regimes is more effective when it is non-public. As far as I know this has been standard procedure for decades. She agreed to it only to then very publically walk out in the first minutes of the meeting for media attention. Activist logic and diplomatic logic work very differently even when they actually have similar final goals.

Just as I said, this isn't what it seemed to be.
The guy is going to US even before he is taking the oath of office. In other words this is a pro-western guy who made a circus campaign in order to knock out the pro-china establishment in Argentina. Which was on the path to push Argentina towards China in a much more "permanent" way. However due to quite weak economy they were vulnerable and they got caught with their pants down. This was sneaky but well played from side of the west, which lost most of it's influence in that part of the world. But with this you once again have a point from which you can work further.

Argentina snubs BRICS invitation

This basically proves all of this.

An unauthorized vehicle attempted to enter the headquarters of U.S. Strategic Command (Stratcom) Thursday night, prompting gunshots and a lockdown before the driver backed away and left the base.

Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, which is home to Stratcom, said the unknown vehicle tried to enter the main gate of the facility at 10 p.m.

Offutt security forces activated a barrier system that prevented the vehicle from entering, forcing the individual to turn around.

Security also fired shots at the vehicle before it fled the scene, according to the base, and a lockdown was initiated out of an abundance of caution.

EU Parliamentary Projection


New monthly projection is out. In other words this is pretty right heavy result, because even if we add centrists (yellow) to the left blocks the right and populists still have more. If this happens the continuation of coalition between center left (light red), center (yellow) and center right (light blue) is still possible. Although it would be weaker in a number of ways. However the real question is: are the polls right and will there be last minute surges that happened lately in some member states.



Netherlands — 2023 general election

The results for Netherlands show large last minute surge for the far right (grey). Therefore if this happens in federal elections next June we could all wake up in brave new world. Since that would change the nature of EU (which is the world's 3rd largest economy behind US and China).
