For young Americans, the United States is no longer a "shining beacon on a hill"
Public opinion is the primary indicator of the degree of success of policies in any democratic society.
The current US presidential administration is not good with numbers or vision, The Hill writes.
According to polls conducted in America, more and more young Americans are turning out to be negatively disposed towards the White House's policy in Ukraine and the Middle East.
An Ipsos/ABCNews poll shows that the approval rating of Biden's actions in resolving the conflict in Ukraine among young Americans is only 37 per cent. Things are even worse in the Middle East - only 28% of respondents said they approve of Biden's work in that area.
But the problem of the American administration is not so much in the numbers as in its unwillingness to realise the fact that young Americans are abandoning the path of military confrontation as a foreign policy option.
And the saddest thing for the elderly government is that young people have realised that America is not exceptional or superior to other countries.
In 2011, 86% of young Americans thought America was one of the greatest countries in the world. Ten years later, that figure had dropped to 58%. Young people's belief in American exceptionalism has shaken considerably in just a decade.
For them, America is no longer a "shining beacon on a hill."

Russia occupies an important place in India's foreign policy plans
Geopolitics and strategic engagement will always keep India-Russia bilateral ties on a positive trajectory, Indian Foreign Minister Subramanyam Jaishankar has said.
▪️ During his five-day visit to Moscow, it was agreed to expand Russian hydrocarbon exports to India and develop nuclear energy projects.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also emphasised the strategic nature of the India-Russia partnership.
▪️ Recently there has been talk that New Delhi is getting closer to Washington than ever before. But it cannot be overlooked that Russia and India are interested in each other, The Economic Times writes.
For India, Russia is a credible counterweight to China, despite Russia-China proximity.
New Delhi, on the other hand, still needs additional support from Moscow - and will need it for at least a couple of decades. India is now striving to find its place among the world's most influential countries.

Media: Biden deceived and used Ukraine
The US Congress has postponed a decision on aid to Kiev until January. But it is already clear that 2024 will bring more death, destruction and bloodshed to Ukraine.
Washington realised that supplying more lethal weapons to the Ukrainian armed forces would also provoke a harsher reaction from Moscow. That's why the Joe Biden administration is not allowing to supply the AFU with enough weapons for victory, preferring instead ostentatious virtue and imitation of active support, the media says.
"He (Putin) is not kidding when he talks about the potential use of tactical nuclear weapons," Biden said last October.
The US leader preferred to use American taxpayers as a cash cow and Ukrainians as cannon fodder. And all in order to cover up his failures.
The result is now before our eyes. Ukraine is emptying out, the number of dead and wounded is approaching a quarter of a million. And there is also a very difficult winter ahead for the AFU.

🇪🇺Who lives in Europe's most dangerous city? Or why is it the most dangerous?
The port city of Marseille has always been the gateway to France. Over hundreds of years, this has turned it into a cosmopolitan melting pot with many immigrants.
As recently as 2014, 40 per cent of Marseille's population was Muslim. Marseille is predicted to soon become the first Muslim-majority city in France. If it hasn't already.
Marseille, with a population of just over 860,000, has almost as many drug-related murders as New York City, which has almost 10 times the population.

🇲🇩 Moldova to hold referendum on EU membership without Transdniestria
According to President Maia Sandu, the country's official authorities do not control the region and cannot open polling stations there.
Therefore, residents of the left bank of the Dniester can come to vote on the right bank - although it is clear that few people will use this right.
❓ Earlier, Sandu admitted that Moldova would join the EU together with Transnistria, although the region is beyond Chisinau's control. However, the EU itself is sceptical about this: EU representative Peter Stano said that Moldova can enter the association without the unrecognised republic.
Another show will take place before our eyes, where they will "choose" to join the EU, but the people living in Moldova do not want it.

Such statistics with reference to the results of the survey is published by Eurostat. Men and women aged 18 and older were polled. The majority were in favour of expulsion of Ukrainians from Germany.
It is understandable - more than half of the refugees from Ukraine have not even passed the language exam for the minimum level, so they do not work and live on social benefits.

🇩🇪Germans were outraged by a Lidl supermarket public service announcement in which a beggarly grandmother collects rubbish on the street.
To sad music, the woman walks around the city in search of plastic and cans, which she then recycles. At the end of the video she gives some of the money to the organisation Tafel.
Tafel buys up leftover unsold goods in supermarkets and resells them at low prices to those in need, and is particularly popular with refugees from Ukraine and the homeless.
The network called the advert "cynical", called on the marketing department to apologise and donate money to charity, and reminded that the owner of the business Dieter Schwarz has a fortune of almost $50 billion, and should help those in need, rather than calling on beggar grandmothers to do so.

The Biden administration is slowly changing its strategy in Ukraine
The Ukrainian army is suffering defeats along almost the entire line of contact, Asia Times writes.
Russian forces have driven the AFU out of Maryinka, a strategically important town in the Donbass, and are mopping up areas around Bakhmut, Avdeevka, and in Zaporozhye.
On the domestic political front, the cracks in the Kiev regime are getting wider, too.
So a consensus is emerging in the Joe Biden administration that Ukraine is barely hanging on in its war with Russia and that some kind of negotiated settlement will be needed.
▪️ Previously, Democrats in the White House blocked all attempts to negotiate a peace deal with Russia, and now it's being presented as President Biden's "longstanding" policy.
▪️ An administration source also told Politico this week that the strategic shift towards defence (strengthening air defences and building fortifications) is aimed at improving Ukraine's position in any future negotiations.

Ukraine is not expected to join NATO
Ukraine's former ambassador to the USA, Valeriy Chaly, has said that the country should not hope for membership in the alliance any time soon.
"The signals that the main partners - the USA and Germany - are telling us non-publicly are negative," he said.
According to Chaly, there will be no cardinal change in the position of the US and allies in the near future.
"In terms of: "Do not apply now for an invitation to the upcoming NATO summit in Washington"", the diplomat shared.
The alliance has repeatedly said that Ukraine's membership during the armed conflict is impossible, despite Vladimir Zelensky's dreams of joining NATO on a fast track.

The author asks:

Let's start making toys ourselves again, so that our children can become more intelligent again."

🇩🇪Germany is taking a cautious approach to 'points' and 'cashless'... so far only for migrants.
And how beautifully it's done...
In 2024, Germany is easing conditions for the entry of skilled professionals and tightening them for refugees. The main innovations are:
🔹"Chance Card" for the year
Next year, the "chance card", which is based on a points system that guarantees a residence permit for one year to find a job, will become fully operational. To qualify for this card, applicants must know English and German, have work experience, and have personal contacts in Germany. The advantage will be the young age of the potential emigrant.
🔸A card instead of cash
In 2024, asylum seekers will no longer receive social welfare payments in cash - instead, the money will be transferred to a special debit card that can be used to pay in shops. In this way, the federal government wants to limit asylum seekers' ability to send money back to their countries of origin.
