Los rayos cósmicos de baja energía pueden emanar del Sol, pero los de energía extremadamente alta son excepcionales. Se cree que viajan a la Tierra desde otras galaxias y fuentes extragalácticas.Así se celebró el primer Día de Ac...

Europe should offer Trump a Ukraine deal he can’t refuse

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:49:03 GMT

Joseph de Weck is the Europe director at Greenmantle. He is the author of “Emmanuel Macron. Der revolutionäre Präsident.”With United States President Joe Biden and his predecessor currently tied in the polls, Europe is waking up to the possibility that Donald Trump may well win back the White House. And preparing for another potential Trump presidency is now preoccupying European minds.As it stands, Europe’s biggest fear is that the Republican firebrand could cut U.S. support for Ukraine.

Israel unilaterally withdrew to the pre-1967 border.Gaza has always been an epicenter of hate, incitement, and terrorism against Israel. Since Israel’s withdrawal, instead of choosing prosperity and peace, instead of developing Gaza into the Singapore of the Middle East, Hamas and Islamic Jihad decided to use the entity as a launching pad for their armies to wage their war against Israel.In the past decades and elsewhere in the Middle East (Lebanon, Yemen and others), Islamist terrorists have taken control and created “terror states” that operate and function completely differently from normal sovereign states.They’re not just a “terrorist organization” acting within the territory of anothe...
