The ‘Anthropological Change’ Happening in Venezuela Maduro is still in place, but a pro-democracy movement is transforming the beleaguered country.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

I think the restrictions could also be extended to Russians who receive Schengen visas.
In 2024, more than 552,000 Schengen visas were issued to Russian nationals, marking a 9% increase compared to the previous year. Italy, France, and Spain were among the most active issuers of these visas.

EU to curb Russian diplomats’ travel as suspected spy attacks mount Intelligence agencies say sabotage operations are often led by spies posing as diplomats

FT: "EU governments have agreed to limit the travel of Russian diplomats within the bloc, in response to a surge in sabotage attempts that intelligence agencies say are often led by spies operating under diplomatic cover."

I deleted my response because I want to watch the interview to have a more coherent opinion.

And it's incredible how this false news spread, and how even reputable sources picked it up without verifying it.🫣

Another "suicide". Like all the others.

I get you. I still can’t tell if she’s being spiteful or just getting senile with age. Either way, she did harm by making these statements. The right thing would have been to admit she was wrong. She could’ve easily spent two hours talking about what she did wrong.

Considering that the Russian attack started on her watch, when she was Germany’s Chancellor and basically the most powerful leader in Europe, I think it’s pretty embarrassing for her to say the things she’s saying now. 🤡

It would be wonderful if, even though they are very disagreeable, both Fico and Orban could find their interest on our side. But I don't trust them.

At the moment, I haven’t seen any real steps toward decoupling, just timid statements. I think this aid is a sort of olive branch extended to Ukraine, so it stops bombing the pipes that transport Russian gas. I hope I’m wrong, though.

Yup. Lately, it’s been very hard for me to believe in coincidences.

It seems that the need for gas, as winter draws near, is beginning to shift the approach.

Arsonist, Killer, Saboteur, Spy While Trump courts him, Putin is escalating Russia’s hybrid war against the West.

“Most of the sabotage operations the Kremlin has launched over the past two years lack direct traces to Russia.”
“Many also involve local perpetrators who have been recruited via social media for one-off jobs for a few hundred dollars.”

🇲🇩 Moldova, you’ve done it again.

No attempt to sow fear or division could break your resolve.

You made your choice clear:

Europe. Democracy. Freedom.

Our door is open. And we will stand with you every step of the way.

The future is yours.

PAS🇪🇺 won 55 seats in the Moldovan parliament, so it will be able to govern without having to make compromises with the pro-Russians.

The Moldovans have been fighting a hybrid war throughout this entire election. They worked incredibly hard and smart, and tonight, we're seeing the results! This is a well-deserved shot at joining the EU and becoming the first country to actually beat Russia in its hybrid war. Huge congratulations.
