I created a group venera.social/profile/africaev… When I post a message it appears unlisted despite the fact that I have selected public so that it is broadcast outside the group too. Is there a setting that allows you to make the message 100% public.
Thinking in scenarios, what would europe / NATO do if Russia decided to damage /destroy most undersea cables which are essential for our internet and networking in Europe? They have the undersea capabilities, it would not trigger a nuclear war. What would/could we do in response ? #Geopolitics@geopolitics#underseacables#internet#russia#eu#NATO
@ErikJonker@nicholas_saunders In the current context, suppose that the gas pipeline is being repaired who has an interest in blocking the gas from flowing? Germany : No russia: No Ukraine: Yes Usa : yes china no EU :yes
@ErikJonker@muzzle@nicholas_saunders Why this hypothesis is declined because Russian cannot impact their bread, but an opponent of the regime he can adopt the strategy of sabotage
#Russian Leak: Can #Berlin Be Trusted with Sensitive Intel ?
New details have emerged of a discussion between #high-ranking #German#officers that was #hacked by Russian spies and leaked by Russian #media last week. As we previously reported, the 38-minute discussion was apparently taken from a recorded video call between four German #Bundeswehr#officers and was published on Friday, March 1st by #Russia’s state-owned RT channel. The recording shows the officers, including German Air Force chief Ingo Gerhartz and Brigadier #General Frank #Gräfe, discussing the possibility of sending #Taurus#cruise#missiles to #Ukraine and using them to #attack the #Kerch#bridge connecting #Crimea to #Russia’s mainland.
In the interest of #gold and areas of influence... #ISIS and the #Wagner militia face to face
Gold in #Mali renews the heated #conflict between #jihadist#organizations on the one hand, and the #government#army in general, and the #Russian#Wagner militia in particular on the other hand. Since the latter’s participation in the #Malian#army’s campaigns against the Tuareg in the Kidal region in August 2023, its focus on gold mining areas in the center of the country has increased. And its south, in an attempt - apparently - to collect the sums agreed upon with the Malian government as part of its support for its campaigns against jihadist groups and #Tuareg #
forces.
In this context, these groups and forces focus on sources of financing, and nothing seems more effective than investing - or charging royalties - in areas of mineral wealth and gold mining
Antisemitism as Anti-Europeanism by Proxy #Europe is simply dealing with its own #cultural issues by projecting them onto the current #conflict in the #Middle#East.
he conflict between #Israel and #Hamas following the latter’s 7 October 2023 terror attack has caused uproar and #reaction in Europe. #Antisemitism is clearly on the rise particularly among left-wing #progressives, while a strong pro-Israel force is defending the #Jewish state and fighting the recent surge of #antisemitism.
The conflict between Jews and #Muslims is indeed steeped in antisemitism; however, in Europe, this term is now used to hide a deeper culture war. On the one hand, it simply conceals a more fundamental #anti-Western cultural #revolution, and on the other it allows for a newfound national and European courage to mask itself as a progressive crusade against a new #Holocaust.
Thus, Israel, for each side, embodies either the confident West or the #colonial oppressor. Europe is simply dealing with its own cultural issues by projecting them on the current conflict in the Middle East. This makes for an unsustainable situation as it highlights the mental acrobatics still needed to simply stand up for European values.
#Guerre en #Ukraine : les vraies questions
La déclaration choc d'Emmanuel #Macron du 26 février dernier n'excluant pas un potentiel #déploiement de #militaires#occidentaux en Ukraine a suscité de vives #réactions au sein des partis d' #opposition qui la contestent unanimement et en dénoncent le caractère irréfléchi. Dans ce contexte, et dans la continuité des Rencontres de Saint-Denis lancées en août 2023, les dirigeant(e)s des principaux partis #politiques#français seront reçus jeudi à l' #Élysée afin de débattre puis de voter sur le soutien français à l'Ukraine, notamment sur le plan #budgétaire. Les partenaires #européens et ceux de l' #OTAN , eux, se sont #désolidarisés de la #déclaration du #président français.
“The #EU acts like a globalist #political steamroller”: An Interview with Tamás #Deutsch
"One of #Brussels’ main aims is to diminish, limit, and to take away the member #states’ sovereign decision-making rights by every means possible."
The #European#Parliament adopted a #resolution last year which aims to take away competences from member states, and abolish their right to #veto. Many #Western#European#leaders, like the #chancellor have voiced similar opinions, saying the EU should leave behind unanimous #voting in areas such as #foreign#policy and #defence. How dangerous are these plans?
All such plans are completely misguided. I can’t think of one area in European politics where the aim to brutally abolish sovereign decision-making rights has not yet been proclaimed. These steps violate and sidestep the European treaties, but this doesn’t worry ##Brussels, whose fanatical aspirations are seemingly supported by some larger member states. Unfortunately, they haven’t yet realised that the Brussels #bureaucracy no longer acts according to their will. It has long ceased to be a puppet. It has awakened and lives an independent life. In every area you can imagine—the modification of EU #treaties, the EU’s structure, its institutions, the common #agricultural and cohesion policies, the #financial and #taxation decisions, #economic#governance, the #judicial system—there is a desired aim to meddle in the domestic affairs, the #sovereignty, the political #independence of #nation states. These are not just intellectual debates, not just theory, but are being put into practice.

Les #sanctions contre la #Russie profitent à la #Chine
Loin de connaître une « #démondialisation », le monde connaît une nouvelle #mondialisation, qui place l’ #Eurasie et l’ #Asie au cœur de la production et des échanges mondiaux. Les sanctions contre la Russie et la tentative d’isolement de la #Chine ont eu pour effet de contourner le monde #occidental et de générer une #croissance#schumpétérienne en Asie.
En 1453, #Constantinople tombe aux mains des #Ottomans. C’est une mauvaise nouvelle pour le monde #chrétien de l’époque. En effet, les #Ottomans contrôlaient désormais la majeure partie de la mer #Méditerranée (qui avait été jusqu’alors le berceau de la #civilisation#occidentale)) et la majeure partie de la route de la soie. Si les #Européens voulaient des épices, du poivre, de la soie…, ils devaient désormais payer le prix exigé par les Ottomans. À moins, bien sûr, qu’une autre route ne soit trouvée pour relier l’Europe à l’ #Inde et à la #Chine. C’est ainsi que Christophe #Colomb a découvert les #Amériques en 1492 et que #Vasco de #Gama a contourné l’ #Afrique et navigué vers l’Inde en 1498. Avec le départ des navigateurs #portugais, #espagnols et #italiens vers le grand inconnu, le centre de gravité #économique du monde s’est rapidement déplacé de la mer Méditerranée vers l’océan #Atlantique. L’Empire ottoman a progressivement sombré dans l’insignifiance économique et, au xixe siècle, il était décrit comme « l’homme malade de l’Europe ». Pour quelqu’un qui se trouvait alors à #Constantinople, le monde avait très probablement l’impression d’être en train de se « démondialiser ». Mais pour quelqu’un assis à Londres, #Rio de Janeiro ou au #Cap, cette notion même aurait été risible.
L’une des conclusions de l’histoire ci-dessus est que si le commerce est bloqué quelque part, il peut réapparaître ailleurs et être d’autant plus puissant, avec peut-être des conséquences inattendues à la clé. Suite voir url.
