Ramani, author of books such as 'Russia in Africa' and 'Putin's War on Ukraine: Russia's campaign for Global Counter-Revolution,' discusses the overarching narrative behind Russia's global resurgence and counter-revolutionary efforts. They delve into the ideological and pragmatic motivations of Vladimir Putin, Russia's historical sense of humiliation, and Putin's strategic alignment with global far-right movements. The conversation also covers the implications of a potential post-war period in Ukraine and the future of Russian imperialism in regions like the Black Sea, Baltic Sea, and South Caucasus. Through detailed analysis, Ramani elucidates the complexities of Russia's domestic politics, its international strategies, and the sociopolitical forces that sustain Putin's regime.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction to Samuel Ramani and His Work00:21 Overview of Russia's Global Counter-Revolution02:06 Putin's Historical Ambitions and Russian Identity05:06 Russian Ideology and the Invasion of Ukraine08:50 Generational Divide in Support for the War13:40 Economic Stability and Rising Ultra-Nationalism20:46 Putin's Pragmatism vs. Ideology25:57 Reconciling Contradictions and Promoting Sovereign Democracy27:14 Russia's Multipolar World and Sovereignty Contradictions29:45 Russian Propaganda and Anti-Western Sentiment32:08 The Evolution of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict36:04 Russia's Global Influence and Counter-Revolutionary Strategy41:10 Putin's Grip on Power and Potential Threats44:54 The Future of Russian Aggression and Global Stability50:54 Conclusion and Final Thoughts----------

They highlight the severe implications of this decision for national security and counter-intelligence efforts. The conversation turns to the lamentable yet strategic nature of disinformation campaigns and their harmful impacts and stresses the necessity for robust countermeasures. The discussion also delves into Ukraine's ongoing struggle and how the nation has remarkably adapted to external threats by enhancing its defensive and offensive capabilities, including the development of advanced drones and missiles like Flamingo. The societal and geopolitical impacts are examined, with specific focus on how international communities can provide better support against such pervasive threats. The episode wraps up with a poignant reminder of the unyielding resilience of the Ukrainian people amid these extraordinary challenges.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction and Recap00:42 Breaking News: Disinformation Agreement Annulled01:57 The Threat of Russian Disinformation04:57 Propagandists and Justice08:11 Film Recommendation: Kiev of Mine11:02 Escalation in Ukraine13:31 Trump's Impact on Ukraine28:54 Ukraine's Resilience and Innovation36:03 Escalating Fuel Crisis in Russia38:18 Historical Context and Comparisons40:20 Russian Air Defense and Strategic Targets44:00 Internal Russian Politics and Potential Coups46:58 Ukraine's Strategic Strikes and International Support52:35 Impact of Sanctions on Russian Aviation58:52 Western Perceptions of Russia01:04:16 Historical Atrocities and Misconceptions01:08:44 Conclusion and Final Thoughts----------

Edition No245 | 10-09-2025 - Poland has triggered NATO Article 4, in what is being interpreted by informed commentators as a significant sub-threshold escalation by Russia's, and explicit threat Europe and the NATO alliance, as well as marking the war's widening arc. Poland says a mass of Russian “drone-type objects” broke into its airspace as Moscow hammered Ukraine. Polish and allied jets — including Dutch F-35s — scrambled and shot several down. Warsaw shut airports, ordered people indoors, and did something only anticipated in the gravest moments: invoked Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty. “Last night the Polish airspace was violated by a huge number of Russian drones. Those drones that posed a direct threat were shot down,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote. (Associated Press via NPR/OPB, Sept. 10, 2025)The EU's top diplomat Kaja Kallas called it “the most serious European airspace violation by Russia since the war began,” adding that “indications suggest it was intentional, not accidental.” (Reuters, Sept. 10, 2025; ABC News, Sept. 10, 2025) This is no isolated scare. It fits a pattern: missiles and drones “straying” into NATO skies, GPS jamming from Kaliningrad, and the return of Zapad, Russia's most confrontational military drills with Belarus. Tonight, we map the pattern, the risks, and what comes next.

En 1936, el Gobierno republicano de Francisco Largo Caballero decidió trasladar 510 toneladas de oro (el 72% de las reservas del Banco de España) a la URSS. El objetivo era protegerlas del avance de los sublevados y pagar con ello el armamento y los suministros de una guerra que ya presumían larga. La situación era muy delicada. La República se encontraba aislada por la decisión de franceses y británicos de no intervenir, lo que dejó el campo libre a Stalin, que utilizó la guerra de España para expandir su influencia y hacer un excelente negocio. Los sublevados, apoyados por Alemania e Italia, se colocaron en apenas dos meses en las puertas de Madrid y las tensiones internas entre facciones republicanas complicaban la situación. El Gobierno temía que el oro cayese en manos de Franco y se trataba de una cantidad considerable, nada menos que la cuarta reserva más grande del mundo. Su tamaño se debía a la neutralidad de España en la primera guerra mundial. Pero no regresó una sola onza, lo que desató poco después un encendido debate sobre si fue una medida necesaria o un robo. El traslado, organizado por Juan Negrín, se realizó en secreto en septiembre de 1936. El oro salió de Madrid hacia Cartagena, luego a Odesa en cargueros soviéticos, y finalmente a Moscú, donde fue custodiado bajo supervisión de la NKVD. Entre 1937 y 1938, se vendieron 473 toneladas para pagar armas. El Gobierno de la URSS se aprovechó de tener el oro en su territorio para cobrar comisiones por la gestión y aplicar sobreprecios en los envíos de armas y municiones. Eso y que el Gobierno republicano estaba muy necesitada para sostener el esfuerzo de guerra hizo que el tesoro durase poco más de un año El franquismo calificó el traslado como un robo, aunque, eso sí, la República envió el oro voluntariamente y se encargó de ir vendiéndolo entre 1937 y 1938. Las reclamaciones posteriores no prosperaron. Los archivos soviéticos, abiertos en 1991, confirmaron que el oro se usó para financiar la guerra. A pesar de ello, este episodio sigue generando polémica, lo que viene a recordarnos que muchos aún interpretan todo lo que sucedió en la guerra civil en clave presente como si hubiese ayer. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra el pesimismo”… https://amzn.to/4m1RX2R · “Hispanos.

John Hardie Bill Roggio. Russia Intensifies Ukraine Barrage; Trump Faces Pressure for Stronger Sanctions. Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack on Ukraine, signaling Putin's refusal to negotiate. President Trumpfaces pressure to implement tougher sanctions on Russian oil revenue. Ukraine faces infantry shortages and porous lines but is improving air defenses. Russian advances are slow, struggling to exploit Ukrainian vulnerabilities on the battlefield. 1859 Odesa
Edition No244 | 09-09-2025 - America steps back from resisting information warfare and foreign interference, just as the barrage from unfriendly actors intensifies. Nothing screams sovereignty like allowing disingenuous foreign influence to pollute your information sphere. Today, the United States just unplugged part of its information defense grid — ending joint anti-disinformation pacts with 22 partner countries. The timing? Perfect, if you're the Kremlin, Beijing, or Tehran, that is. We'll explain what exactly was shut down, how it fits a broader rollback of U.S. defenses against foreign information and cyber-operations, why science and media are squarely in the crosshairs as well, and what adversaries are doing right now to flood our feeds, weaken trust in our institutions and fracture our democracies. Late on September 8–9, 2025, European governments received formal notice from the U.S. State Department: Washington is terminating memorandum of understanding that underpinned a common playbook for spotting and exposing foreign disinformation from Russia, China, and Iran. ----------SOURCES: https://meduza.io/en/news/2025/09/09/u-s-tells-europe-it-s-withdrawing-from-joint-effort-to-combat-foreign-disinformation-including-russia-shttps://kyivindependent.com/us-steps-back-from-joint-efforts-to-combat-misinformation-ft-reports/https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/sep/09/science-under-siege-weaponised-disinformation-michael-mann-peter-hotezhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-europe-russia-disinformation-memorandum-b2823146.htmlhttps://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/09/9/7529949/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/business/russia-disinformation-trump.htmlhttps://www.ft.com/content/d31b56e3-aca9-4ee7-af5a-abec74830455https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/business/russia-disinformation-trump.html ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

The discussion covers a variety of important topics, including the current state of the war in Ukraine, Russia's military strategies and troop buildup, the use of unconventional vehicles like motorbikes and golf carts, and the effects and implications of Russian propaganda. Additionally, the conversation delves into how the West can protect itself from Russian aggression, the role of Trump in enabling Putin, and the dangerous reality of appeasement strategies within European diplomacy. Starsky also provides insights into the distorted information within Russian elites and the ongoing efforts of Russia to paint itself positively on the global stage.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome02:12 Current Situation in Ukraine05:57 Russian Military Tactics and Strategies12:59 Putin's Delusions and Propaganda16:40 European and American Perspectives31:13 Russian Propaganda and Image Laundering----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Președintele american Donald Trump a declarat din nou că este pregătit să treacă la o nouă fază de sancționare a Rusiei, după cele mai intense bombardamente ale Moscovei de la începutul războiului. Însă Moscova pare să-și extindă pretențiile teritoriale, observă comentatorii. După cum relatează Le Figaro, președintele SUA a amenințat că va viza țările care cumpără hidrocarburi din Rusia, pentru a submina finanțarea efortului de război al Moscovei. El a aplicat deja suprataxe vamale semnificative Indiei. BBC informează că ”Grupul OPEC+ al țărilor producătoare de petrol, care include și Rusia, a convenit din nou să crească producția, ceea ce va pune presiune în direcția scăderii prețurilor”. Secretarul Trezoreriei SUA, Scott Bessent, a declarat pentru emisiunea Meet the Press de la NBC că SUA solicită mai mult sprijin din partea UE pentru a impune tarife secundare țărilor care cumpără petrol rusesc. Bessent a spus că, dacă statele UE ar crește sancțiunile și tarifele secundare asupra țărilor care cumpără petrol rusesc, „economia rusă va fi într-un colaps total, iar acest lucru îl va aduce pe președintele Putin la masa negocierilor”. După cum relatează Deutsche Welle, Trump a declarat că intenționează să discute din nou cu Putin „foarte curând”, „în următoarele zile”. El a spus că „este nemulțumit de întreaga situație”. În același timp, și-a exprimat încrederea în posibilele soluții de pace spunând că „Vom rezolva asta”. Între timp, Rusia a anunțat retragerea sa din Convenția Europeană împotriva Torturii. Putin a înaintat Parlamentului un proiect de lege în acest sens, relatează agenția de știri de stat TASS. Statele părți la convenție se angajează să ia măsuri împotriva pedepselor sau tratamentelor inumane sau degradante. Ucraina acuză Rusia de torturarea prizonierilor de război. Rusia neagă acest lucru”. În acest context, Newsweek privește către situația de pe teren. ”Rusia controlează acum aproximativ o cincime din teritoriul Ucrainei. Un acord de pace pentru a pune capăt războiului depinde de două aspecte cheie: împărțirea teritoriului și arhitectura viitoare a securității ucrainene, ambele pline de complexități juridice și politice”. Iar The Conversation constată că ”Rusia a furnizat noi dovezi ale ambițiilor sale teritoriale în Ucraina”. Publicația amintește de harta observată pe fundal în timpul unui briefing susținut de șeful statului major general al Rusiei, Valeri Gherasimov, în august. ”De partea rusă se află nu doar cele cinci regiuni ale Ucrainei revendicate public ci și provinciile Odesa și Mikolaiv. Aceste zone, care îmbrățișează coasta Mării Negre, au o importanță geostrategică considerabilă. Controlul acestui teritoriu ar oferi Rusiei un coridor terestru către Transnistria, o regiune separatistă din estul Moldovei, cu puternice simpatii pro-ruse. Rusia are în prezent aproximativ 1.500 de soldați staționați acolo, iar teritoriul a fost văzut de mult timp în vest ca o posibilă platformă pentru o invazie rusă a Moldovei.

Edition No243 | 07-09-2025 - Is the ‘Coalition of the Willing' Already Unravelling?Europe promises a “reassurance force” for Ukraine — someday — while Moscow says any such troops would be “legitimate targets for targeting and destruction.” Meanwhile, trial-balloons about Chinese or even UN peacekeepers drift across the news cycle like other-worldly experimental weather balloons cut adrift. Global diplomacy resembles nothing more than some geopolitical Area 52 – an absurd landscape full of rumours, secrets, conspiracies, and various unreal things. Is this strategy of the absurd… or strategic stalling? Let's get into it.The big Paris headline sounded impressive: French President Emmanuel Macron said twenty-six nations had pledged to provide post-war security guarantees to Ukraine, including an international force on land, at sea, and in the air. But there's one crucial detail that needs to be called out: post-war. The (theoretical) force deploys only “the day after the conflict stops.” (Reuters)The Associated Press spelled it out: “26 of Ukraine's allies have pledged to deploy troops as a ‘reassurance force'… once fighting ends.” (AP, Sept. 4, 2025). Note the use of the phrase reassurance, rather than deterrence. It sounds non-committal and non-specific. Who is it reassuring, Western electorates and politicians themselves? Probably not the Ukrainians who have been hardened by Western weakness, betrayal and hypocrisy over the last two decades. That's reassurance with a deferral clause, and one which lacks deterrence power for the country that matters, Russia. ----------SOURCES: AP (Sept. 4, 2025): “26 of Ukraine's allies have pledged to deploy troops as a ‘reassurance force'… once fighting ends.” Reuters (Sept. 5, 2025): Putin: “these will be legitimate targets for destruction.” Washington Post (Updated Sept. 4, 2025): Russian MFA: Russia “is not going to discuss in any format any idea of foreign military intervention, which is unacceptable and undermines any security.”Reuters (Sept. 4–5, 2025): NATO SecGen Mark Rutte: “Why are we interested in what Russia thinks about troops in Ukraine? It's a sovereign country.”Al Jazeera (Aug. 12, 2025): Zelenskyy: “He is definitely not preparing for a ceasefire.” EuromaidanPress/Welt (Aug. 23, 2025): China “ready to send peacekeepers… if deployed “on the basis of a United Nations (UN) mandate.” ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

Edition No241 | 04-09-2025 - This summer Putin expected thunder and damnation, the smiting of Ukrainian forces and major advances on the frontlines in all directions. What he got and mud and blood, twisted armour and incremental gains in some places, and humiliating retreats in others. Ukraine of course has eyes on a maximalist prize, the recovery of all its sovereign land and people, but at a minimum, it can count as a success just holding the invaders at bay for another year, fighting them to a standstill and exacting a huge price in bodies and treasure. For Putin it's different. Whereas his maximalist aims might be delusional, his minimum success, to satisfy the baying Z-Patriot mob and propagandists, is so much more than his armies managed to achieve. Russia launched big fighting talk and bigger bombardments from Sumy to Pokrovsk, sought kilometres of gains, but ran into a wall of Ukrainian resilience. Modern warfare does not favour manoeuvre, with drones to observe, ambush, drop ordnance and undertake kamikaze strikes. A transparent battlefield where forces are massing means a target rich environment is massing. This is partly why Russia's summer offensives have failed to meet their strategic objectives; how both sides can still plausibly claim to have momentum dominance; why 2025 is shaping up as stasis on the ground that favours Ukraine, and disfavours Russia. It's also why Putin needs photo-ops in Alaska and China to appear strong while his army bleeds for inches.----------SOURCES: https://www.kyivpost.com/post/57099https://english.nv.ua/russian-war/assault-battalion-liberates-kindrativka-in-sumy-oblast-50532613.htmlhttps://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/1093919.htmlhttps://united24media.com/latest-news/russia-pulls-elite-forces-from-ukraines-northern-border-to-reinforce-pokrovsk-offensive-11248https://english.nv.ua/nation/russia-ukraine-advance-on-multiple-fronts-isw-50530982.htmlhttps://euromaidanpress.com/2025/07/19/russian-saboteurs-tried-to-sneak-into-donetsks-pokrovsk-ukrainian-troops-erased-them-syrskyi-says/#google_vignettehttps://stratnewsglobal.com/world-news/ukraine-fierce-fighting-around-pokrovsk-says-zelenskyy/https://odessa-journal.com/zelensky-russias-goal-is-to-cross-into-dnipropetrovsk-region-buffer-zone-needed-in-sumy-pokrovskhttps://english.nv.ua/nation/capturing-pokrovsk-is-now-kremlin-s-top-priority-international-affairs-observer-50533469.html----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

Edition No240 | 03-09-2025 - Flames, Palaces & Flamingos: Ukraine Challenges Putin's Aura of Invincibility.A future film of the war, depicting Ukraine's victory over its imperial neighbour, will savour this moment, as it builds the tension and rolls out in glorious orange flame ripping through forests near Putin's secret palace complex, his minions panicking as the flames encroach on the $1.5 billion Black Sea palace, and then consume it. We'll have to wait for the full feature, but we were treated to the trailer last week, a teaser for the full blockbuster attraction. Picture this: debris from a Ukrainian drone — falling like an uninvited and unwelcome weekend guest at a dacha — ignites a forest inferno just six miles from Putin's alleged $1.5 billion bolt hole, his Black Sea palace. Was it a deliberate power move by Ukraine, were they aiming for the palace itself, or is this just collateral damage? Likely the former. According to Russian emergency services, the blaze was triggered when debris from a downed Ukrainian drone fell near the opulent estate—sparked by air defence intercepts. And we know from reports that Putin has concentrated a huge number of air defence systems near the places he holds dear or visits frequently. Of course, defending civilian objects is a far lower priority. It reportedly occurred six miles from the palace, though investigative outlet IStories claims it might have been as close as two miles.

Edition No239 | 02-09-2025 - Autocrats assemble. These are not nice people. Not kind people, nor generous or moral. They have reached the top of the pile in their respective countries, many of which are authoritarian or quasi authoritarian regimes. What does it take to achieve that, an to stay top of the pile for years, sometimes decades. For a start you must be the biggest bully in the playground, the most vicious fish in the pond. You may have had to dispose of rivals, - both authoritarian or democratic. Probably silence many journalists and critics. Subvert their legal systems and institutions of government. In a word, these people are the biggest C.U.N.T.S in their respective societies, most have no accountability to their populations, and some have thieved and raped their populations of resources and opportunities. Now, they have gathered in China, for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit (SVO meets SCO).At the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin, we witnessed what can only be described as a global warm embrace of authoritarian regimes — even as the world burns from war, repression, and in Ukraine stolen children. At the heart of this embrace, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Narendra Modi posed as a new triumvirate of international order, with cheering applause for Russia's war machine. But it is an alliance of disorder and death. ----------SOURCES: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/01/china/china-putin-xi-meeting-sco-summit-intl-hnkhttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/2/chinas-victory-day-military-parade-whos-attending-and-why-it-mattershttps://abcnews.go.com/International/north-koreas-kim-crosses-china-meet-xi-putin/story?id=125172027https://www.independent.co.uk/asia/east-asia/kim-jong-un-arrive-china-victory-parade-vladimir-putin-b2818199.htmlhttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/2/china-russia-pledge-new-global-order-at-shanghai-cooperation-summithttps://news.sky.com/story/chinese-russian-and-indian-leaders-seek-to-show-unity-and-push-for-new-world-order-in-beijing-meeting-13423244https://www.reuters.com/world/china/putin-thanks-xi-his-dear-friend-warm-welcome-china-2025-09-02/https://www.politico.eu/article/chinas-xi-welcomes-putin-modi-trump-roils-global-relations/----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE 'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

Georgijs Ivanovs started the Ukraine Matters channel in 2007, and it has garners 11.5 m views. He started the channel to explain the situation surrounding the war in Ukraine in simple terms. Like myself, he is not Ukrainian, nor is he a military expert. But he has been to Ukraine many times and seen it almost fully (except for Odesa region). He has a lot of good friends in Ukraine, and in fact his wife is Ukrainian, and so feels extremely connected to the invasion that scaled up in February 2022. ----------DESCRIPTION: Ukraine's Crisis and Europe's Response: In-Depth Analysis with Georgijs IvanovsJoin us for a compelling discussion with Georgijs Ivanovs from the channel 'Ukraine Matters' as we delve into the complexities of the Ukraine-Russia conflict. In this episode, we discuss the assassination of a key Ukrainian political figure, the broader political and military implications, and the role of Europe and the US in supporting Ukraine. We also explore the strategic bombing campaign against Russia, the impact on the Russian economy, and the critical need for closing the Ukrainian skies.

Hoy se cumplen 1.296 días del cruel ataque e invasión de Rusia a Ucrania. 3 años y 189 días. Hoy es lunes 1 de septiembre de 2025. Día Mundial de los Primates. Cada 1 de septiembre se celebra el Día Internacional de los Primates, con la finalidad de destacar la importancia de conservar estas especies mamíferas, así como alertar sobre las amenazas de extinción de algunas de ellas. Entre las principales amenazas se encuentran la deforestación de su hábitat, factores ambientales, enfermedades virales, caza ilegal, explotación con fines comerciales y de entretenimiento. 1914: la ciudad rusa de San Petersburgo cambia de nombre a Petrogrado. 1917: el Imperio ruso es abolido y convertido en una república. 1918: En Fort Riley (estado de Kansas) comienza la pandemia de influenza (gripe española), que causó cerca de 20 millones de muertes en el mundo. Tal día como hoy, 1 de septiembre de 1939, las tropas alemanas invaden Polonia enviando 1,5 millones de tropas al mismo tiempo que la Luftwaffe alemana bombardea los aeródromos polacos. El ataque se produjo sin ninguna declaración de guerra por parte de Alemania. Gran Bretaña y Francia enviaron a Hitler un ultimátum para retirar las fuerzas alemanas de Polonia o enfrentar a las dos naciones en guerra y dos días después, Gran Bretaña y Francia declararon la guerra a Alemania. 1958: En Nueva York (Estados Unidos) comienza sus funciones la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). 1962: la Organización de las Naciones Unidas anuncia que la población mundial ha alcanzado los 3000 millones de habitantes. 1985: una expedición franco-estadounidense descubre los restos del buque británico Titanic, hundidos en el océano Atlántico desde 1912. El 1 de septiembre de 1989, Toyota lanza nuevos autos de lujo como una nueva marca: el Lexus, con la esperanza de competir con otros importantes fabricantes de autos de lujo en todo el mundo. 2015.- El papa Francisco concede que se absuelva el pecado del aborto durante el Jubileo. Santos Arturo, Sixto, Régulo y Gil. La Flotilla Global Sumud parte desde Barcelona hacia Gaza para establecer un corredor humanitario. Rusia lanza su tercer ataque a gran escala contra Ucrania esta semana, alcanzando Odesa y Jersón. Putin llega a China para una cumbre clave de seguridad regional. Albares pide a la UE una respuesta fuerte sobre Gaza porque "no hacer nada no ha resuelto nada". Feijóo asegura que el Gobierno "huele a rancio" y se compromete a sacar a España "del bucle de la incompetencia". Canadá ha decidido excluir al submarino español S-80 de Navantia en su proceso de renovación de flota, valorado en aproximadamente 43.440 millones de euros. En su lugar, ha seleccionado a las empresas alemanas ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) y coreanas Hanwha Ocean Co. para presentar ofertas definitivas para el Proyecto Canadiense de Patrulleros Submarinos (CPSP), con la intención de operar el primer submarino en 2035. Canarias recibe más de 4 millones de turistas invisibles: el verdadero total supera los 22 millones anuales, no como nos indican de 18 millones en 2024. Los empresarios canarios habían puesto sobre la mesa solo 160 millones y Baleària se impone y adquiere por 215 millones el negocio de Armas en Canarias. El ‘sueño’ de varios empresarios canarios y del propio Ejecutivo regional de convertir a Naviera Armas en la “Binter del mar” se desvanece. El grupo Baleària, presidido por Adolfo Utor de origen marroquí, se queda finalmente con el negocio canario de la naviera, tras cerrar una operación valorada en 215 millones de euros, libre de deudas. La compra incluye también las rutas de Alborán y El Estrecho, compartidas con la compañía danesa DFDS, aunque la operación está sujeta al visto bueno de la Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC). Unos 20 menores migrantes viajan a la Península en el sexto traslado desde Canarias. En total han salido 32 (a los que habría que sumar los 20 de este domingo) Solo 52 de más de 1.000 asiliados. El milagro de las uvas canarias: siglos de historia sin filoxera, nunca existio en Canarias, pues ya la tenemos aqui. Socimi vende el Hotel Bahía del Duque a Lopesan, La operación rondaría los 320 millones de euros, la socimi hotelera participada por Bankinter, ha cerrado la venta del Hotel Bahía del Duque, uno de los establecimientos más emblemáticos de Canarias, al grupo Lopesan. Vuelo directo de Tenerife a Nueva York… desaparece. Este ajuste responde a razones comerciales, no a los aranceles de Trump como indican algunos políticos en Canarias. Los aranceles afectan más al comercio de mercancías que al turismo aéreo, y su impacto directo en Canarias es muy limitado. 1 de septiembre de 1942 nació Barry Gibb (de los Bee Gees) → influyente en el pop y disco. - ¿Cansado de la actualidad políticamente correcta?

De ce este România interesată în parcursul European al Republicii Moldova? Desigur, este comuniunea de limbă și identitate românească. Sunt considerentele geopolitice și de securitate. Dar mai există ceva: aspectul economic. Foarte interesantă discuția cu ambasadorul Republicii Moldova în România, dl, Victor Chirilă, pe care o veți putea asculta în cadrul emisiunii Moldova Zoom de astăzi, după știrile de la ora 10.00. Am vorbit, desigur, despre alegerile legislative de la 28 septembrie – despre miza lor regională și europeană. Dincolo de acestea, unul dintre aspectele despre care se discută mai puțin este cel al interesului economic, imediat, al României, legat de alegerile din Republica Moldova. Potrivit ambasadorului, companiile din România au investit deja în Republica Moldova 300 de milioane de euro. La aceasta se adaugă deciziile unor companii străine care operează în România și care și-au extins afacerile și în Republica Moldova. Câteva importante proiecte de infrastructură sunt în desfășurare, de la autostrada care ar lega orașele Iași și Chișinău, cu planul de a ajunge la Odesa, și până la interconectările energetice. De exemplu, liniile de înaltă tensiune Suceava-Bălți și Gutinaș-Strășeni. Foarte importantă este preluarea de către România a Portului Liber Giurgiulești, ieșirea la Dunăre a Republicii Moldova. Autoritățile de la Chișinău tocmai au avizat cererea Companiei Naționale „Administrația Porturilor Maritime” Constanța de a achiziționa 100% din capitalul firmei care operează portul Giurgiulești. Potrivit Guvernului de la București, România intenționează să investească peste 24 de milioane de euro în modernizarea portului. Preluarea de către România a portului de la Giurgiulești are și o importantă componentă strategică, legată de controlul la gurile Dunării. Concluzia e limpede ca apa de izvor: România este profund interesată în continuarea parcursului european al Republicii Moldova și din perspectiva propriilor interese economice. Iar dacă privim prin această lentilă, se vede și mai clar absurdul apelului liderului extremist român George Simion de boicot la adresa produselor moldovenești. România a devenit de mai mulți ani principalul partener economic al Republicii Moldova, depășind cu mult Rusia. Până și muzelul sovietic numit Transnistria și-a mutat accentul economic dinspre Rusia către vest. Afacerile, de o parte și de alta a Prutului, sunt în plină dezvoltare, în pofida problemelor generate de războiul lui Putin împotriva Ucrainei. Astfel că orice lovitură dată acestor afaceri nu doar că este în interesul Moscovei, dar afectează și companiile din România. Și culmea este că exact acei care vor să lovească în interesele economice românești, se autointitulează ”suveraniști”. Noroc că apelul lor la boicot nu este băgat în seamă de consumatorul român.

UKRAINE; CONTINUES IS THE EASIEST. ANATOL LIEVEN, QUINCY. 1854 ODESA
AP correspondent Mike Hempen reports Ukraine hopes for peace talks with Russia in the coming days.
In this compelling conversation, foreign policy expert and author Max Boot joins veteran journalist Warren Olney to examine the state of American democracy, global threats, and what's at stake in the months ahead. This episode of America at a Crossroads offers thoughtful analysis, historical perspective, and urgent questions about the direction of the U.S. and the world.
Arnold Fabrikant came from Odesa, where both his parents were doctors. Arnold's father Yefim and his unit tried to hold off the Germans when they surrounded Kyiv. Yefim killed himself rather than fall into German hands. Arnold, then 20 years old, spent the next four years on the front and ended the war shooting his way into Berlin.David Horovitch reads Arnold's story, which is based on an interview conducted in Odesa by Natalia Rezanova in 2004.

Ukraine Matters: Analyzing NATO Summit & Defense Strategies with Georgijs Ivanovs Georgijs, the founder of the Ukraine Matters channel, discusses the latest developments in NATO's support for Ukraine, defense spending, and Ukraine's innovative wartime strategies. Topics include the impact of European funding, the production of military supplies within Ukraine, and the evolving dynamics of drone and missile warfare. The conversation also addresses the potential for Russian economic collapse, the inefficiencies within Russian military tactics, and the broader geopolitical implications of the ongoing war. Georgijs emphasizes the importance of supporting Ukrainian production and the strategic use of resources to counter Russian advancements. Additionally, the discussion touches on the role of AI in modern warfare and the significance of adapting to rapidly changing battlefield technologies.----------Georgijs Ivanovs started the Ukraine Matters channel in 2007, and it has garners 11.5 m views. He started the channel to explain the situation surrounding the war in Ukraine in simple terms. Like myself, he is not Ukrainian, nor is he a military expert. But he has been to Ukraine many times and seen it almost fully (except for Odesa region). He has a lot of good friends in Ukraine, and in fact his wife is Ukrainian, and so feels extremely connected to the invasion that scaled up in February 2022. ----------LINKS: @UkraineMatters ----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Ukraine Matters01:32 NATO Summit Highlights03:04 European Support and Danish Model 2.007:39 Drone Warfare and Innovations10:33 Ukraine's Missile Capabilities16:15 Economic and Military Outlook21:53 Potential Endgame Scenarios26:34 Conclusion and Final Thoughts----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.
