🇮🇹 Italy plans to impose a €75 fine on pedestrians using mobile phones while crossing roads under proposed Highway Code reforms.


Репост из: The Simurgh
🇺🇸 Peter Schiff, leading American economist:

Trump's unprecedented economic sanctions on Iran not only won't work, but they'll backfire. Other nations will violate the restrictions and Trump won't be able to follow through with his retaliatory sanctions. Plus, the dollar will weaken and food and energy prices will rise.

🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺 At the request of the government, YouTube has blocked three channels of "Masha and the Bear" in Ukraine — the Russian-language, Ukrainian-language, and English-language ones.


🇺🇦 Ukraine needs at least 300 missiles for Patriot systems to get through the winter. We hope to receive this package.

Russia is trying to impose a total blockade of the maritime corridor, but 3-4 vessels still pass through each day.

The Ministry of Defence has already used the funds allocated in the budget through the end of the year.

The total shortfall currently stands at 27 billion dollars

- Zelensky.


🇫🇷✍️ Here is my updated prediction for the upcoming 2027 presidential election :


Marine le Pen (RN) : 32%
Jean-Luc Mélenchon (LFI) : 25%
Edouard Philippe (Hor) : 17%
(Gabriel Attal (RE) : 7%)
Raphaël Glucksmann (PP) : 7%
Bruno Retailleau (LR) : 4%
(David Lisnard (NE) : 3%)
Eric Zemmour (R!) : 3%
Jean Lassalle (RES) : 3%
(Marine Tondelier (Green) : 2%)
Dominique de Villepin (LFH) : 2%
Fabien Roussel (PCF) : 1,5%
Nicolas Dupont-Aignan (DLF) : 1,5%
François Asselineau (UPR) : 1%
Nathalie Artaud (LO) : 0,5%
Other Trotskistes : 1%


As for the 2nd round, I now think Mélenchon will win it. With Bardella, I had some doubt as he was a fresh face for the party ; but now, with Marine le Pen who failed 3 times already and sucks in debates where Mélenchon excels as well as the fact that Marine le Pen is now convicted. Mélenchon can now just spam "Le Pen is a criminal, I am an honest guy" for any debate, including the debate between the 2 rounds. All of that is without mentionning that the centrists will now have no more incentive to vote for the more economically liberal Bardella against Mélenchon as le Pen has always been a statist. So the centrist will for sure, either don’t vote or vote Mélenchon.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon (LFI) : 52%
Jordan Bardella (RN) : 48%

🇵🇱🇱🇹🇱🇻🇳🇴 Poland signs an 8 billion zloty ($2.2 billion) framework deal for several thousand domestically produced Piorun air-defense launchers and missiles.

More than 80% will go to Poland’s armed forces, with the remainder supplied to Lithuania, Latvia and Norway under the EU’s SAFE joint-procurement program.

As a precision, Glucksmann announced his candidacy for the primary of the Socialist Party, so he actually needs to win it. He is obviously the favorite of the primary but Xavier Bertrand was the favorite of the LR 2021 primary and he didn't even passed the first round of this primary. So Glucksmann isn't in the clear yet.


🇫🇷 In the same vain of news, Mélenchon made a speech yesterday in fronts of thousands of sympatizers and his core speech wasn’t the usual praising of immigration, Palestine populism or eat the rich speech but was centered around global warming and ecology. This move is made as a section of the Greens headed by Sandrine Rousseau aim to push the Greens to back Mélenchon. The Greens are torn between 3 factions : the Sandrine Rousseau faction who wished to ally with Mélenchon, the Marine Tondelier faction who wished for an independant bid claiming to be the unitary leftist candidacy and the Yannick Jadot faction who wished for an alliance with centre left Raphaël Glucksmann. Mélenchon just made his bid for the Greens, taking a step forward as the rest of the French still bicker on who should represent them.


You can hate Mélenchon for wanting to brownify and Islamisize France, you can hate Mélenchon for wanting to ruin the economy but you have to admit that he is politically intelligent and know how to play his cards right.


🇨🇵 New poll for the upcoming 2027 presidential election were made and confirmed the trend of the RN on 1st place at 35%. However, the centre right candidate Édouard Philippe and far-left candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon are tied in 2nd place at 17%. Please note that Philippe was tested as the sole Macronist candidate without Attal and he is still barely able to go to the 2nd round. Mélenchon being this high this soon is unprecedented and is a good indicator for him as he always overperform the polls. Which means that in reality, when April 2027 comes Mélenchon could easily be at 25% in the 1st round, greatly overperforming the polls (as always).

🇦🇲⚡- "It's possible for a country to be removed from the CSTO. I would be delighted if the alliance removed Armenia from the collective treaty agreement. It would free us from the dilemma of leaving or not," - Nikol Pashinyan, Prime Minister of Armenia.

Note, the CSTO's collective defense clause closely resembles NATO's Article 5, stipulating that an attack on one member is considered an attack on all. However, the alliance did not support Armenia during the 2020 war or the subsequent border clashes with Azerbaijan between 2021, 2022, and 2023, a failure that has fueled growing frustration in Yerevan. Pashinyan in 2021 and 2022 directly requested support, citing the CSTO mutual defense clause, but fell on deaf ears in Moscow, and has even gone as far as accusing Belarus (a CSTO member) of supporting Azerbaijan (a non-CSTO member) against Armenia.


🇪🇺🇺🇦 Europe is ready to accept Ukraine into the European Union

- European Council President Costa.

Ukraine has already helped build a new, truly geopolitical EU: a Union that takes responsibility for its own defence, strengthens its strategic autonomy, firmly upholds international law and multilateralism, builds partnerships in a changing world, and gladly welcomes new member states.

⚡️🇦🇲🇷🇺 — Nikol Pashinyan, Prime Minister of Armenia:
For two hundred years Armenia's relations with Russia were built on the idea that Russia will be the guarantor of security of the Armenian people.

The events of 2020-2023 have shown that Russia, because of its own security problems, had significant limitations in fulfilling its role as guarantor.

🇷🇺🇸🇸🇺🇳Russia opposes the continuation of the arms embargo against South Sudan, said Russian Ambassador to South Sudan, Alexander Kosmodemiansky. The UN sanctions against South Sudan, which include an arms embargo, have been in effect since 2018 and have been extended until May 31, 2027.


🇦🇲It is clearly stated in our program that we have no plans to return to the CSTO over the next five years. I can say with certainty that we will not step up our activities in the CSTO. I know that there are discussions in the CSTO and that they may expel our country from the organization.

I would be very happy if the organization decided to expel Armenia from the CSTO. It would free us from the dilemma of whether or not to withdraw.

— Nikol Pashinyan


🇫🇷 Today a series of polls appeared in various variants for the first and second rounds of the presidential election.

In short, Marine Le Pen is gaining a lot of strength – against the strongest opposing candidate she has 55% to 45%, and against Mélenchon 68% to 32%. In the first round, she could get as much as 38%.

✍️ Inspired by one of the people in the chat, I remembered a Polish poem from the past.

The poem tells the story of a fire in a nursing home for the mentally ill.
I realised that it describes the situation in Europe one-to-one.

This image of an individual who sees the threat, tries to call out to wake others up, but the only response is empty laughter, mockery and insults.


There are people who are awake, but they watch the threat destroying their home more out of curiosity than understanding.

However, the saddest part is the description of what we now have in Europe.
But most are still asleep, smiling in their sleep, and the cry of individuals reaches no one in the comfortable halls cut off from the world.


And yet the poem ends with a dramatic cry that we do not want to flee from here. And we do not want to. No matter how bad things are, no matter how much our world is being destroyed, we cannot renounce it, because our homelands in our Christian white Europe are our home.
