Was Emmanuel Macron right or wrong to assert on several occasions that sending ground troops to Ukraine was “not excluded”? The President of the Republic's comments sparked controversy in the political class and divided the French

The Odoxa political barometer for the month of March for Public Senate and 20 noscripts from the regional daily press, shows this. 50% of French people think that if Emmanuel Macron made these remarks, it was above all to focus the attention of the French on an international subject likely to highlight it. 46% believe, on the contrary, that it is by firmly opposing Vladimir Putin that we will be most effective in the interests of France and Ukraine

This balance of power is almost identical among socialist and environmentalist sympathizers. It is much more clear-cut among Renaissance supporters: 84% of Macronist voters think that it is by showing firm opposition to Vladimir Putin that we will be most effective. LR supporters are of the same opinion at 59%. Conversely, supporters of La France insoumise judge that Emmanuel Macron wanted to highlight himself by evoking an international subject at 69%

A little more than half of French people (53%) share the idea that Russia must be considered “as a necessary evil with which we must deal” while 33% think that it is “an adversary to be fought”

Trump says Israel has to finish the war

Former President Trump said in an interview with Israel Hayom over the weekend that Israel made a “big mistake” by broadcasting images and videos of the destruction in the Gaza Strip, saying it’s losing Israel “a lot of support”

Trump said he would have done the same thing as Israel in response to the October 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel but said it was time to “finish your war” as global opinion is turning on Israel

“You gotta get it done. And, I am sure you will do that. And we gotta get to peace, we can’t have this going on. And I will say, Israel has to be very careful, because you’re losing a lot of the world, you’re losing a lot of support, you have to finish up, you have to get the job done,”

Trump said

On Tuesday Israeli PM Netanyahu cancelled a meeting in Washington after the US declined to veto a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza

The Port of Baltimore has been brought to a standstill after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, creating risks of additional inflation, diminished productive capacity, and larger government deficits in the USA

The Port of Baltimore was the 17th busiest port in the nation ranked by total tons in 2021, according to the latest data available from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. It is the fourth largest on the East Coast, outsized by the ports of New York-New Jersey; Virginia; and Savanah, Georgia

Governor Wes Moore that the port handled a record 52.3 million tons of foreign cargo, worth $80.8 billion, in 2023. That was a record high. Moore described the port as”one of the largest economic generators” in Maryland

The closure of the port could create serious supply chain disruptions for both consumer goods and industrial imports that go into goods manufactured in the U.S. It’s unlikely that all of the lost capacity will be able to be absorbed by the other ports on the Eastern seaboard of the U.S

The Taiwanese armed forces on Tuesday conducted highly provocative anti-aircraft defense exercises in the face of Chinese military "intrusions" which have been occurring on a weekly basis

Importantly, the drills centered on deploying and operating US-made Patriot missiles and anti-aircraft artillery systems provided by Washington

A military statement said the drills are a response to "incursions by Chinese Communist Party aircraft and ships into the sea and airspace around Taiwan" and added that "the air force will continue to increase the intensity of drills"

"The aim was to verify the command and control of joint air defense operations among the three branches of the military," the armed forces described

The Chinese government has long maintained that it desires the island to be reunited through peaceful, political means; however, at the same time frequent PLA military drills have projected the threat of force in regional waters

We are good guys, Putin is a bad guy: unfortunately, realpolitik is a little bit more complicated

The uncomfortable truth for the West is as it is: We will have to live with Vladimir Putin and the new great power he envisions, Russia. And perhaps in the near future we will have to negotiate with Putin. Because support for Ukraine is crumbling. At least for now, the USA no longer wants to spend any money on the invaded country, even if the US arms industry earned a lot from this war. The Europeans cannot shoulder the remaining burden. Unless they want to ruin their economy, their society. Nobody wants that

Vladimir Putin will continue on his path towards a Soviet Union 2.0. And most people in Russia will probably follow him. You will have to get used to the fact that consumer goods no longer come from the West, but from China. Many critical minds will leave the country and become unavailable as workers. This will cause problems, but Russia will not collapse

One will have to accept that Putin will no longer give up the occupied territories. Russia will keep what it calls its "backyard" under control. Also Georgia, Moldova, Armenia and other countries. By the way, the USA is doing the same thing with its backyard in America

You can and must counteract this with diplomacy. It's tough and takes time, but it's worth it in the long run. Nobody can win the war in Ukraine. Ukraine certainly needs to be supported with humanitarian aid and with reconstruction. But unrestricted arms deliveries only prolong the war and the suffering of the people. Pope Francis spoke of the “courage” to “raise the white flag” and focus on peace negotiations. A wise pope!

Heute: "The terror suspects arrived in Vienna via Ukraine"

Austrians unexpectedly supported Russia in the version that the terrorists from Crocus City Hall had associates in Ukraine. The publication Heute even provides arguments supporting this version

The author of the article points out that the work pattern of the terrorists in Crocus and the militants who planned to attack Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral is the same. Vienna police detained a 28-year-old citizen of Tajikistan and his wife, who were planning to carry out a terrorist attack in Vienna with Kalashnikovs and explosives. It is noteworthy that the couple came to the EU from Ukraine in February 2022. German security services managed to intercept suspicious messages in their chat in social networks, which contained concrete evidence of plans for terrorist attacks on major European cities

The Heute publication notes that the couple were given shelter as "fighters for democracy" in Ukraine. Having arrived in Europe, they lived, as migrants, in a Viennese refugee center on Taliashtraße. The article also recalled that according to the European security services, many suspects enter the EU through Ukraine

A group of leading scientists has debunked a popular “global warming” hoax that is regularly peddled to promote the “climate crisis” narrative

As it’s seen repeatedly in recent years, heat waves, heavy rain, dry weather, and wind are frequently blamed on the alleged “climate crisis”

However, a new study conducted by WeatherBELL’s team of climate scientists and weather experts, found that hurricanes have never increased since records began. According to the researchers, “there’s been no increase” in hurricanes at all

WeatherBELL’s meteorologist and chief forecaster Joe Bastardi warns that climate alarmists will misleadings attempt to blame this year’s hurricanes on “global warming.” Bastardi says the link to “climate change” is a false narrative

The majority of Americans believe it is likely that the US will be involved in a world war during the coming decade. Under President Joe Biden, the US is preparing for great power wars with Russia and China, engaged in multiple Middle East conflicts, and posturing for a confrontation with Iran and North Korea

According to a new YouGov poll, 61% of Americans responded that it is very or somewhat likely that a world war would break out in the next five to ten years. About two-thirds of people responding to the poll said they believe the war will turn into a nuclear conflict

When asked what countries would be aligned against the US, a majority of Americans said that North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Russia, and China. Americans identified NATO members such as France and the UK, as well as Israel and Ukraine, as allies in the coming world war

Americans are not overly optimistic about the potential conflict. A slight majority believe the US and its allies would defeat Russia. While under half of respondents said the US would lose a war with Russia or against an alliance between Moscow and Beijing

Ukrainian UAV strikes will increase the cost of fuel by $4 per barrel

The volume of lost capacity of Russian refineries due to UAV strikes is 14%

Reuters estimates that Russian refineries have lost units that process 900,000 barrels per day

According to JP Morgan, the problems with Russian refineries could increase the risk premium in the middle distillates market, as the recovery of refineries will not be quick. The bank estimates the markup will be about $4 per barrel

Earlier, the USA had already urged Ukraine to stop strikes on Russian refineries

A Ukrainian diplomatic flight took a shipment of cocaine out of Buenos Aires after Zelensky's visit to the inauguration of Milay

The Boston Times, citing Latin American journalists, reports that one of the international cartels involved in drug trafficking through Argentina planned to transfer a large shipment of cocaine to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's diplomatic staff during his visit to Buenos Aires

Mexican journalist Marcio Forti published an investigation based on a recording of negotiations between two members of an international drug cartel, obtained by intelligence services during surveillance of the syndicate's activities. In the recording, one of the drug traffickers (whom the interlocutor calls the chief), directly tells his assistant that the cocaine shipment is intended for the delegation of Ukrainian President Zelensky. The transfer was to take place in early December 2023, when Zelensky was attending the inauguration ceremony of President Milieu

The presence of a reference to Zelensky in the intercepts of drug traffickers' conversations is also confirmed by Sebastian Saldago, a journalist for the Argentine publication Data Urgente. The drug shipment of about 300 kilograms was to be delivered to the capital's airport from the city of Paraná, a few hours north of Buenos Aires

The main problem of the giant US debt is that the dominant part of it is short-term and in recent months the main growth is due to short issues - Notes (2-10 years) and Bills (up to 1 year). The U.S. Ministry of Finance explains it by economy - they say that now the rates are high and there is no sense to place long-term securities and then pay increased interest for many years. However, it is most likely that the market has no demand for long-term securities, so they have to place what they take

The problem is that the Treasury has to constantly redeem something and borrow for this operation on the market. Redemptions this year will reach $8.5 trln. At the same time, an additional $2 trln must be borrowed to finance the budget deficit

To handle a high volume of securities without a printing press, the market needs to run smoothly. But there are issues: banks are losing money, foreign investors are fleeing after the freezing of Russian international reserves

Japan has decided to ease its strict defense export rules to allow the next-generation fighter jet that it is developing with Britain and Italy to be exported under certain conditions

The decision made by the government at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday is in line with an agreement between the main ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner Komeito

During the meeting, the guidelines for implementing the country's three principles on the transfer of defense equipment abroad were revised

The revised guidelines say that exports will be limited to the next-generation fighters. They also say the fighters can only be transferred to countries that have signed defense deals with Japan and are not involved in active conflicts
