cnn The real threat facing Hungary is not Russia but the European Union, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a speech to supporters on Saturday, as his nationalist party ramps up an anti-EU campaign ahead of national elections. In his speech on Saturday, Orbán compared the EU to the repressive Soviet regime that dominated Hungary for over 40 years last century, and dismissed the belief of many European leaders that Russian President Vladimir Putin poses a threat to the continent’s security. “We must get used to the idea that those who love freedom should not fear the East, but Brussels,” he said, referring to the EU’s de-facto capital in Belgium. “Fear-mongering about Putin is primitive and unserious. Brussels, however, is a palpable reality and a source of imminent danger,” he said “This is the bitter truth, and we will not tolerate it.”

DW Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha announced Thursday that Russian oil transit to Eastern Europe via the Ukrainian section of the Druzhba oil pipeline has been suspended since January 27 due to a Russian attack. "This is the Druzhba pipeline infrastructure burning after the latest Russian strike on January 27, which stopped oil transit," he wrote on X, adding photographs of firefighters against a backdrop of flames. Sybiha also said Hungary was preparing to file another complaint about issues with the transit of Russian oil through Druzhba. He advised officials in Budapest to show the photos to their "friends" in Moscow.

Po svemu sudeci, Whatsapp je prva zrtva. bbc Meta-owned WhatsApp said the move aims to push more than 100 million of its app users in Russia to a "state-owned surveillance app". "Trying to isolate over 100 million users from private and secure communication is a backwards step and can only lead to less safety for people in Russia," said WhatsApp in a statement. "We continue to do everything we can to keep users connected."

bbc The US House of Representatives has voted to rescind US President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods. In a 219 to 211 vote, six Republican lawmakers joined Democrats to back a resolution that seeks to end the tariffs Trump imposed on Canada last year. The vote is largely symbolic as it will still need to be approved by the US Senate and then approved by Trump, who is very unlikely to sign it into law. As the vote was taking place on the House floor, Trump posted on Truth Social: "Any Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time."

Trenutno situacija daje sasvim solidnu sansu Spartaku, pa cak i Megi ili Borcu, sto cini neizvesniji finalni turnir kupa za razliku od prethodnih godina. Mi i komsije cemo morati da se odreknemo po 4-5 prvotimca i u tim ubacimo igrace koji manje-vise nisu svi zajedno odigrali 10 minuta ozbiljne seniorske kosarke u karijeri.

Kako ide kupovina? Ja usao 15 minuta posle pocetka prodaje i bacio me u red dug ceo sat

@Smrtokapa Nisam bas ni ja neki strucnjak na ovu temu, nego me vuce ta neka moja detinjasta osobina da se poigravam jezikom kad god nadjem zgodnu priliku :) I evo bas ovo sto pominjes na kraju kao primer. Krajina. E bas tu mislim da rec dolazi od ruskog край (za prevod najpribliznija je rec ivica), i eto pominjanog й u drugacijem okruzenju gde proizvodi ji kojeg, slozili smo se, nema ni u ruskoj ni u ukrajinskoj transkripciji. Generalno, no big deal, svakako da si u pravu oko pisanja i hvala ti sto si me naterao da o svemu ovome promislim malo bolje.

posebno mi je zanimljiva sesta tacka: Marginalized from respected Western political and cultural circles, Russia is constructing a parallel universe in which it awards its own peace prize on its own terms. The initiative illustrates how the Kremlin hopes covert influence can help shed its image as an aggressor state.

Ajd prvo da se pozabavimo mojim pogrešnim pisanjem imena države Ukrajine, nije u redu da dopustim da OCD savlada cenjenog forumasa. Posto tesko da ima veze sa temom, odgovor stavljam u spojler. A sto se Gvantanama tice, ucinilo mi se neumesnim njegovo uvodjenje u razgovor, pa otud i moja reakcija. A zapravo sam ja pokrenuo pricu da je besmisleno povlaciti paralelu izmedju Kube i Ukrajine (a neko je danas ovde na temi tako zapoceo celu pricu), pa svaka 'igranka' na tu temu moze biti zgodno mesto za 'saplitanje'.

Jel ocekujes da se nadje kupac do tog aprila ili vidis neku drugu opciju? Nisam ispratio da li je Rosnjeft nacionalizovan, mislio sam da je samo rec o Gaspromu u Nemackoj. Inace Reuters je doneo tekst kao Exclusive i potpisuje ga John O'Donnell, sto bi trebalo da garantuje neku ozbiljnost. A radovalo bi me da je, kako kazes, nothing to see. Vidim u tekstu da se rafinerija snabdeva Kazahstanskom naftom, ali i da je Rusija pretila da 'zavrne tu slavinu' jer naftovod ide preko njene teritorije, sto je neka druga prica, ali nista manje kompleksna u celoj Rosnjeft 'jednacini'.

Nije okupirano. Niti ga je USA ubacila u Ustav, niti ga bilo ko na svetu smatra niti priznaje delom USA teritorije. United States military base located on 45 square miles (117 km2) of land and water on the shore of Guantánamo Bay at the southeastern end of Cuba.It has been "leased" from Cuba to the U.S., without expiry, since 1903 as a coaling station and naval base. It is the oldest overseas American naval base. Since 1974, the U.S. has paid the Cuban government an annual sum equivalent to $4,085 in 1934 dollars (approximately $96,018 in 2024) to lease the bay. The lease was previously $2,000 per year (paid in gold) until 1934, when it was set to match the value of gold in dollars. Ne postoji nikakva slicnost, niti paralela, niti izgovor za pravdanje ruske invazije na Ukrajnu Gvantanamom.

Potpuno ista stvar kao kod nas kad je rec o Gaspromu i NISu, sada dolazi na red u Nemackoj. Rosnjeft rafinerija u Bradenburgu je odgovorana za otprilike trecinu isporuke goriva u Nemackoj, a USA je dala rok do sredine/kraja aprila da se vlasnistvo promeni. Slicno kao i Srbija, i Nemcka ce morati ili da nacionalizuje/preuzme rafineriju ili ce Rusi da je prodaju, ili ce biti opasne naftne krize koja ce sigurno imati ogroman uticaj na ekonomiju Nemacke i EU. Bas sa zanimanjem pratim kako ce se Merz i ekipa snaci u ovim okolnostima.

@rodriguez Naravno da mora da postoji osuda, ali izmedju ova dva primera - Kuba i Ukrajna se ne moze povuci paralela niti staviti jednakost. Na Kubi se, hvala bogu, zbog nedostatka energenata niko nece smrznuti do bolesti ili smrti, nece biti humanitarne krize, a ako nije sasvim ocigledno, da primetim i da po Kubi i njihovom energo sistemu niko (hvala bogu) ne baca kasetne bombe, projektile, dronove i drugu municiju za masovna unistenja, koja usput ubija ili sakati civile, zene i decu, i to svakodnevno. U tom smislu mi je potpuno grozno i izuzetno licemerno to povlacenje paralela koje su potpuno nerelevantne, bas kao da ih povlaci najveci politicki cinik danasnjice, Sergej Lavrov. I jos da dodam, mada se to cini tako suvisno u nekoj normalnoj konverzaciji, da Kubu niko nije napao, niko im nije okupirao ni pedalj teritorije, nije do temelja razrusio hiljade naselja, pobio, proterao, kidnapovao milione ljudi i dece. No hajde da povlacimo paralelu Kuba - Ukrajna na nacin kako to radi pomenuti Sergej Lavrov.

brze-jace-bolje na Trumpov nacin cnn The United States has fallen to its worst-ever position in a leading global index that measures perception of corruption in the public sector among independent experts and businesspeople.

bbc President Donald Trump has threatened to block the opening of a bridge connecting the US and Canada until Washington is "fully compensated for everything" it has given to its northern neighbour. The Gordie Howe International Bridge, connecting the Canadian province of Ontario to the US state of Michigan, would not open until Ottawa "treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve", Trump wrote on social media. Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin, a Democrat, said closing the "incredibly important infrastructure project" would be "awful for our state's economy". The move could have "serious repercussions" she said in a post on X: "Higher costs for Michigan businesses, less secure supply chains, and ultimately, fewer jobs."

Nisu doneli promene, to da, ali rezultat od Martinez won 62% of the vote compared to 38% for her Republican opponent, tamo gde je Trump pobedio na izborima valjda pokazuje neki trend? Ili makar mozemo da se nadamo, jer nada uvek poslednja umire. A flip je bio u Teksasu gde su GOPovci drzali taj seat 40 godina. Ljudski je bar malo se obradovati takvim rezultatima iako u sustini ne moraju nista da znace. Narocito uz ovu vidljivu i najavljenu Trump strategiju o izborima, koja znamo da podrazumeva radnje sa one strane zakona, tako uobicajene tom krugu oko Trumpa.

cnn The Washington-based Institute for the Study of War said Saturday: “The fact that Russia conducted two sets of strikes with over 400 projectiles within six days of the lapse of the energy strikes moratorium demonstrates the Kremlin’s determination to maximize the suffering of Ukrainian civilians and unwillingness to de-escalate the war or seriously advance the US-initiated peace negotiations.” “Russian forces have also modified their drones and missiles to inflict more damage, including by equipping Shahed drones with mines and cluster munitions, and such measures have disproportionately affected civilian and energy infrastructure,” the institute added. The consequences of Russian strikes are aggravated in many urban areas by reliance on centralized heating systems, a legacy of the Soviet era. Heat is generated at thermal or combined heat and power plants before being distributed, so if such facilities are targeted many residential blocks are impacted.

Vec veoma dugo slicno razmisljam. Po meni je nedvosmisleno da Trumpa 'imaju u saci' u Kremlju, sad da li zbog pominjanog videa ili nekog drugog kompromitujuceg materijala je sasvim nebitno. Bilo bi zanimljivo saznati i cime drze Vensa na kratkom povocu, dok ovi ostali iz aktuelne administracije su tu samo zbog ocigledne koristi i(li) umesanosti u slicne stvari. Steta za Rubia, svojom pristojnoscu se ne uklapa u kalup ovih neotesanih skorojevica, ali sad je vec ocigledno da je i on umesan u nesto jako prljavo ili mu je licna ambicija potpuno poremetila osecaj za moral.

cnn A Russian general serving as deputy head of Russian military intelligence was shot and seriously wounded in Moscow on Friday. An unknown attacker fired several shots at Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alekseyev in a residential building on Volokolamskoye Highway in Moscow and fled the scene, a Russian Investigative Committee spokesperson said in a statement. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused the Ukrainian government of being behind the attempted murder of Alekseyev, without citing evidence. Alekseyev has been transferred to a city hospital, the Investigative Committee statement said. He is in intensive care and in a serious condition following the shooting, according to Russian state media. Alekseyev, 64, is the first deputy head of Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate, the GRU. The Russian general was one of several GRU officials sanctioned by the United States in 2016 for wide-ranging malicious cyber activity directed at undermining US democratic processes. He was also sanctioned by the European Union in January 2019 following a nerve agent attack in Salisbury, England, which the British government said was carried out by GRU agents to poison a former Russian spy. The EU sanctions describe Alekseyev as “responsible for the possession, transport and use in Salisbury… of the toxic nerve agent ‘Novichok’ by officers from the GRU,” along with sanctioned Russian military intelligence chief Igor Kostyukov.
