Vec danas Merz otisao u Paris a kasnije danas ide u Poljsku. Meni izgleda da je spreman da uradi velike stvari i za Nemacku i za EU. DW German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called on European Union member states to boost defense spending and vowed to prioritize European unity. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in a strong showing of unity with Ukraine announced that he will visit the country soon. Merz said during his first official trip to Paris that he wants to work toward arrangements to ensure a lasting ceasefire in Ukraine. Germany's new Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt ordered the deployment of more police officers to all the country's borders, after having vowed to to curb irregular migration.

Naravno da nije bila samohrana, hvala Bogu.

Kad smo kod Rumunije, opet pokazuju kako treba odgovorna vlast i drzava da se ponasa u kriznim vreme ima bbc Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu has resigned and his Social Democrat party is to leave the government after a right-wing nationalist candidate won the first round of the presidential election.

Uopste ne izgleda naivno ovaj fail Merza da osigura vecinu. Naravno, AfD se smeska, traze nove izbore. Evropskih indeksi su u padu od momenta glasanja. Iz SPDa tvrde da su lojalni i da su svi njihovih poslanici glasali za Merza. Onako, na prvu, cini mi se da su u pitanju strani uticaj, odnosno da se ovako salje poruka Merzu.

bbc The north-eastern Kharkiv region of Ukraine was hit overnight by Russian drone attacks. Among the places hit was the Barabashovo market in the city of Kharkiv, most of which burned down overnight.

bbc All four of the capital's major airports were closed for several hours to ensure safety but later reopened, Russia's aviation watchdog Rosaviatsia said on Telegram. Moscow's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said on social media at least 19 Ukrainian drones had been destroyed before they reached the city "from different directions". He said some of the debris had landed on one of the key highways into the city, but there were no casualties. It is the second night in a row that Russia has reported a drone attack by Ukraine - on Monday, Russia's defence ministry said it had destroyed 26 Ukrainian drones overnight. It comes after reports on Monday of fresh attempts by Ukraine to cross into Russia's Kursk region. Kyiv said it had hit a drone command unit in the Kursk region on Sunday near the Russian village of Tyotkino.

@Beonegro Nemam kad sada da trazim rezultate izbora, ali nasa dijaspora uvek na izborima donese pobedu prozapadnim partijama i pokretima. Cak mi se cini i Nemacka i Austrijska, gde vec godinama dominiraju primerci kao taj iz Pozege kog si opisao.

Of topic

Ali nasa dijaspora, narocito van EU je vrlo prozapadno orijentisana. Isto vazi i za moldavsku, koja je bukvalno odlucila predsednicke izbore jesenas.

Simion je na tim ponistenim izborima imao skoro 1.3M glasova, tako da se moglo ocekivati da se ti glasovi preliju kod ideoloski najblizeg kandidata. Meni je zanimljivo (odnosno neverovatno i zapanjujuce) da je Simion dobio od dijaspore, koja broji sigurno milion glasaca, skoro 70% podrske.

U Rumuniji u prvom krugu ubedljivo dobio proTrump kandidat, sa nejasnim odnosom prema Rusiji. Kaze za sebe da je za NATO saradnju i Trumpa, ali to zaista svasta moze da znaci. Inace je dobio duplo vise od drugoplasiranog kandidata.

Vrhovni Klovn strikes again, valjda ocekuje da ce Xi da uzme slusalicu i placnim glasom ga zamoli da skine takse cnn President Donald Trump said China’s economy is “doing very poorly right now” because of the 145% tariffs he enacted. His comments, made during a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, came after a report released earlier in the day showed China’s factory activity contracted this month at its fastest pace in 16 months. “I just saw some reports coming out, and I don’t want that to happen to China,” Trump said. “I was actually saddened to hear it.”

Bela kuca - crni humor. Posle najgorih prvih sto dana u istoriji predsednikovanja, spinovanje Amazonom i Bezosom im je jedino sto je preostalo (nema veze sto su iz Amazona rekli da nece to da rade). Sve ostale teme su od lose do goreg, najbolje za izbegavanje.

Pitanje za forumase iz Kanade, zanima me koji kanadski news portal citate, koji je najpopularniji i koji bi preporucili za pracenje politike za nas koji ne zivimo u Kanadi?

Jos malo o Nemacko-USA odnosima u svetlu podrske Ukrajne DW In an exclusive interview with DW, German Foreign Minister-designate Johann Wadephul tells DW Chief Political Editor Michaela Küfner that the new government will try "to make clear to the Trump administration that it is in their very interest to have a very strong Ukraine."

bbc US President Donald Trump has posted on his Truth Social account, external urging Canadians to vote towards becoming "the cherished 51st State of the United States of America". "Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES," he writes. The US president calls to end an "artificially drawn line from many years ago", adding: "Look how beautiful this land mass would be." He also says America "can no longer subsidize Canada with the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year that we have been spending in the past" unless it is a US state. --- Bob Croskey was first in line this morning at La Maisonnette des Parents, a community centre in Montreal’s Little Italy currently serving as a polling station. A retired historian originally from the United States, Bob is voting for the first time as a Canadian citizen. Though he says he remains “fundamentally American,” with family roots there stretching back over 200 years, he tells us he feels “deeply ashamed” of the United States today. “It’s deeply depressing that we have a criminal elected president of the US,” he says. Living in Canada, Bob says he feels “protected” and is “very glad and grateful” to the country for “taking me in."

To pitanje ide uz bukvalno svaki Muskov potez od kad se dohvatio Trumpa. Sto se tice teroristickih i slicnih napada, meni je sa ove pozicije sve bliza ideja da je i tzv atentat na Trumpa bio staged, imajuci u vidu implikacije koje je izazvao i ko je tu najvise profitirao.

bbc Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a temporary ceasefire for the war in Ukraine. The Kremlin said the ceasefire would run from the morning of 8 May until 11 May - which coincides with victory celebrations to mark the end of World War Two. In response, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called for an immediate ceasefire lasting "at least 30 days".

Da te ispravim, nisu oni samoproklamovani fasisti, nego je sud jednog od njihovih lidera oznacio kao fasistu. Njihov talking point je, kao sto je i rekla njihova liderka u razgovoru sa Muskom, da je Hitler, zapravo, bio komunista, sto naravno kod svakog pismenog coveka izaziva prezir, kao i svaki drugi pokusaj revizije istorije u pravcu relativizacije najmracnijih perioda covecanstva. Zasto dobijaju podrsku na izborima? Ako pojednostavimo situaciju, meni izgleda da jasu na talasu trenutno popularne antimigrantske politike. Da kao i svi drugi populisti koriste krizu izazvanu spolja za dobijanje podrske medju nedovoljno prosvecenim i ljudima kojima je lako manipulisati na razne nacine. A kremaljska propagandna masinerija uopste nije naivna, ima veoma razradjene suptilne metode uticaja na birace. U tom smislu, oni cesti teroristicki napadi ljudi arapskog porekla su nekako najintezivniji bili u vreme predizborne kampanje u Nemackoj. Otkako su prosli izbori, nisam vise cuo za takav neki nemili dogadjaj u Nemackoj, sto mi pali lampicu da je sve to bilo koordinisano sa nekog mesta. Kremlj i Musk mi izgledaju kao moguci prvooptuzeni, njima rast AfDa najvise ide u prilog.

Ovi ce biti i u novoj Vladi, tako da mi se cini da su oni najozbiljnija podrska Ukrajni. Cak mi je i vrlo upadljivo da Nemacke nema nigde gde je USA prisutna. Na onim slikama iz Rima, sa Zelenskim su tu Macron i Starmer, naravno i Trump, ali nikoga iz Nemacke nema ni blizu mesta gde su Trump i njegovi najblizi pajtosi. Mislim da je Vensov performans u Minhenu bio ozbiljan diplomatski skandal, preko koga Berlin nece lako preci. Da ne pominjem Muskovu podrsku AfDu, odnosno direktno mesanje u izbore suverene drzave.

CNN Ceding large swathes of Ukrainian land to Russia under a peace proposal suggested by US President Donald Trump would be “a capitulation,” Germany’s defense minister warned on Sunday. “Ukraine on its own could have got a year ago already what was included in that (Trump proposal), practically through a capitulation,” he said. “I cannot discern any added value.”

AFD, ne ADF, Alternative fur Deutschland. Stranka ciji je jedan od lidera sudskom presudom dobio 'pravo' da ga ljudi i mediji u konverzaciji zovu fasistom ili profasistom zbog njegovih javnom izrecenih stavova po mnogim politickom pitanjima. Stranka inace ima najjace uporiste u bivsoj Istocnoj Nemackoj, gde je uticaj Kremlja i danas izuzetno jak, a mnogi lideri i clanovi AfDa su na KGBovskom platnom spisku. Otklon od ovakve 'partije' je civilizacijsko pitanje. Onaj ko joj pruzi podrsku bilo kakve vrste, mora da se zapita s koje strane civilizacije je danas.

New CNN poll Trump’s 41% approval rating is the lowest for any newly elected president at 100 days dating back at least to Dwight Eisenhower – including Trump’s own first term. Approval of Trump’s handling of the presidency is down 4 points since March, and 7 points lower than it was in late February. Just 22% say they strongly approve of Trump’s handling of the job, a new low, and about twice as many say they strongly disapprove (45%). The poll finds the president underwater and sinking across nearly all major issues he’s sought to address during his time in office, with the public’s confidence in his ability to handle those issues also on the decline. On inflation, approval is down 9 points to 35%, and on tariffs themselves, it’s down 4 points to 35%. His marks for handling the economy are down 5 points to a career low of 39%; he hit his previous low once in his first term and again this March). Only about half (52%) express confidence in his ability to deal with the economy, down 13 points compared with a December CNN poll. Following his far-reaching efforts to reshape the federal government’s workforce, Trump has lost ground on approval ratings for managing the federal government (42% approve, down 6 points since March).

@Darko Ovaj podatak da 20% kineskog GDPja zavisi od USA meni ne zvuci realan. I nisam siguran kojom metodom je izracunan. Kako sada stvari stoje, Kina ce morati da trazi nova trzista za svoje proizvode po celom svetu, a USA ce ostati samoizolovana. U takvim odnosima, verujem da ce Kina pre naci zamenu i da ce imati manje stete od nametnutog trgovinskog rata. Uostalom, ovo Trumpovo plakanje kako ce da bude 'nice' prema Kini, tesko da bi doslo da se oseca tako superiorno kako zeli da predstavi. #TrumpChickenedOut je dominantan hashtag u Kini ove nedelje, meni dovoljno govori da su se Kinezi bolje spremili za trgovinski rat. I to je trebalo da bude jasno jos onog momenta kad su 'spustili rampu' za prodaju Panamskog kanala.
