Ich lebe in einem Land ohne Verteidigung. Weder verteidigt es einen einzigen seiner Menschen, noch sich selbst. Dieses Land ist ein Land der Opfer und der Untertanen. Und als Ausgleich wird ihm regelmäßig irgendetwas gegeben, woran es sich abreagieren kann. Irgendein Nächstschwächerer. Oder so ein Nörgler, wie ich zum Beispiel.
Vertun Sie sich nicht.
Not a single voice of reason to be found among the pundits, politicians and general public, who all run to the shelters on an hourly basis but smile when they emerge, praising the Iran war and the blessings it brings. It almost makes you miss 1967
Der Begründer der Enthüllungsplattform Wikileaks, Julian Assange, ist frei, genau seit dem 25.6. 2024. Der Druck aber auf die berichterstattende Branche ist heute massiver denn je. Im Westen, da, wo Meinungsfreiheit und Pressefreiheit eigentlich Markenkern sind. Eine unvollständige Bestandsaufnahme:
We speak with journalist Lylla Younes in Lebanon, where she says Israel’s “massacres are multiplying” amid the broader U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Israeli strikes have killed nearly 700 people in Lebanon over the past two weeks, while attacks have expanded to include areas of central Beirut, which Israel claims are aimed at the powerful Hezbollah militia. This comes as Israel has vowed to expand its incursion into southern Lebanon.
“The vast majority of southern Lebanon is now under displacement orders,” says Younes. “That is approximately 15% of the country.”
Hier die Ereignisse des 14. Tages des erneuten Angriffs Israels und der USA gegen das Land.
Das Vorgehen Katars reiht sich in eine Welle ähnlicher Maßnahmen in der Golfregion ein. In Bahrain, Kuwait, den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten und Saudi-Arabien wurden ebenfalls Personen verhaftet oder gewarnt, keine Bilder von Schäden oder Angriffen zu veröffentlichen. Aus dem Iran gibt es ohnehin kaum Videos, da das Internet dort seit fast zwei Wochen weitgehend abgeschaltet ist. Auch in Israel haben die Behörden neue Zensurrichtlinien verkündet.
Es ist ein Krieg der wenigen authentischen Bilder, während KI-generierte Videos und Falschinformationen das Netz fluten.
One night in Macau, a citizen was taking a walk with his humanoid robot (Unitree G1).
A passing woman yelled at him (perhaps frightening her), essentially saying, „Why bother with this when there are so many other things to do? Are you crazy?“
and then,The police subsequently took the humanoid robot away.
According to authorities, the woman, who was on her phone at the time, was startled when she suddenly noticed the robot behind her near the Lok Yeung Fa Yuen residential complex in Patane last Thursday.
Video circulating online shows the woman angrily confronting the robot before two officers arrive. One officer is seen placing a hand on the robot’s shoulder as they escort it away.
Oil prices spiked to nearly $120 per barrel this week, their highest level since the pandemic. At the opening of the Asian markets on Friday, the price stayed above $100 per barrel, despite Trump bending the knee to the Kremlin dictator.
The Financial Times reported Thursday that Russia was already the biggest winner from Trump’s war, raking in as much as $150 million per day in extra budget revenues from oil sales.
But Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, after announcing the move to release the sanctioned oil, said it “will not provide significant financial benefit to the Russian government.”

Russian media was awash Monday and Tuesday with headlines and analysis about how the soaring oil prices will affect the country, but also its adversaries in the West. “Eastern Strike: Oil Price Could Surpass $150” read the headline in Russia’s pro-government Izvestia newspaper.
Elsewhere, firebrand pro-Kremlin TV host Olga Skabeyeva quipped Tuesday about people in the neighboring NATO nation of Estonia having to walk because public transport was already running out of fuel.
After Putin‘s meeting Monday, President Donald Trump appeared to hand him another gift as he suggested his administration was lifting sanctions on “some countries” to stabilize the oil market.

Who she is: Venezuela‘s interim president
Portfolio: Maduro‘s former vice president, she‘s running the country under the oversight of the United States.
Why she matters: A seasoned lawyer and longtime party official, she‘s known as the „tsarina“ for the economic power she accrued as vice president, oil minister and finance minister. She‘s technically under sanction for serving in the Maduro government, but she has won the trust of the US government (for now) and is seen by US oil company executives as most able to work with them to rebuild the country‘s degraded energy infrastructure.
President Miguel Díaz-Canel, whose country is rapidly running out of fuel, said the talks were based on “respect for the political systems of both countries.”
