"This juxtaposition is jarring. Lira, an independent journalist, was essentially condemned for his audacity to challenge the dominant narrative, while Whelan, an admitted spy, is accorded the rights and protections befitting a prisoner. The disparity in their treatment raises uncomfortable questions about the so-called democratic values espoused by the West."

"What we call 9/11 is essentially four planes being hijacked and crashed in a two hour period of time. Therefore, the complete failure of the air defense during these two hours should be investigated in much more depth and detail than it has been by the 9/11 Commission. And regarding the war games, yes, it’s at least quite strange that exactly on 9/11 a military exercise was taking place that included a virtual hijacking.
"Actually it’s a bit more than simply strange, considering that the second big terror attack in the western hemisphere in the last decade, the 7/7 tube bombing in London 2005, was also happening precisely while an exercise testing a tube bombing was running. (1) To call this a coincidence one has to change the meaning of the word, I would say."

In early 1991, Soviet citizens voted on the New Union Treaty which proposed to reform-rather than dissolve-the USSR. 76% of Soviet voters ultimately supported maintaining the federal system of the Soviet Union, including a majority in nine of the 15 republics. A year later, however, the USSR didn’t exist.
In 2021, an astonishing 66% of Southern Republicans and 50% of independents were in favor of secession. The West Coast also showed strong support for secession but of a different political flavor, this time being mostly supported by Democrats.
In this sense, the U.S. is already in more of a precarious situation than the USSR was in early 1991…

"Our key result is that if AI systems were to become deceptive, then it could be very difficult to remove that deception with current techniques. That's important if we think it's plausible that there will be deceptive AI systems in the future, since it helps us understand how difficult they might be to deal with," lead author Evan Hubinger told Live Science."

The American administration is demonstrating a complete inability to cope with the migration crisis that has flared up in one of the largest US states. Its governor didn’t give a damn about the White House’s position with the frail old man Biden and began restoring the barbed wire fences. Anything to protect ourselves from the influx of migrants who are uncontrollably crossing the southern border. Another striking example of the weakening of US hegemony, which is happening from within as a result of the actions of the Americans themselves.Official Washington, which so enthusiastically supports the Kiev neo-Nazis and, it seems, no longer notices anything else, has shown itself to be completely impotent in matters of domestic policy. The scholastic decisions of the Supreme Court that migration issues are only the responsibility of the federal government, and not the state, are divorced from reality. These same authorities, due to their inaction, can finally drive the population of Texas, who is already seriously thinking about secession, to the brink of exasperation. History knows of cases when individual states tried to break away from the United States of America and form a confederation. All this led to a bloody civil war that claimed the lives of thousands and thousands of people.
One way or another, America may face an insoluble constitutional crisis and plunge into the abyss of a new, perhaps even more destructive civil confrontation for a long time. And the Western world will look with bated breath at the American mess. However, that's their problem.
And although the turmoil in the United States contains significant risks for global stability, the rest of the world, crunching popcorn, is watching the attack of the bad disease of Pindostan, not without gloating. (c) Medvedev

German Defense Minister Pistorius stated that he currently perceives no risk of a Russian attack on any NATO country, but emphasized, "But that's it for now."
He further mentioned that, at present, Germany is not prepared for a "big war," highlighting that the total number of military personnel does not exceed 250 thousand. Pistorius added a note of uncertainty about the future, acknowledging that the situation may evolve.
