They say that the cause of the intellectual decline present in 21st-century human beings is due to the pollution caused by lead, used as a gasoline additive since the beginning of the last century, a “great invention” of the General Motors Company that poisoned the earth in proportions still unknown.
If that is one of the causes, because there are others, without doubt the most affected have been Western politicians, especially those of the “great powers” and especially Europeans and Americans.
A war of inestimable proportions has broken out in the world, adorned with photos of frisky politicians, eager for Napoleonic poses and high-sounding speeches based on the most supine ignorance, as a backdrop.
The narrative of Bonaparte’s emulators is torn between absurdity, barbarism, irrational hatred, clumsiness and stupidity taken to a superlative degree.
Among other absurdities, they have taken to playing at war, the great increase in military activity by NATO countries, practicing conflict scenarios with Russia, does not bode well, except for a nuclear winter.
During the Bastion Lion exercise, which is carried out with the participation of the German and Dutch Armed Forces, a series of incidents occurred, for example, a Dutch soldier was killed during the military exercises.
Previously, at the end of March this year, during exercises in Lithuania, an M-88 Hercules armored recovery vehicle sank in a swamp near the town of Pabrade, close to the border with Belarus, with four US soldiers inside.
It is significant that the objective of both exercises was to “practice the defense of NATO’s eastern flank in the event of a possible armed conflict with Russia”.
What conflict, do they have “wet dreams” about war with the Eurasian power?
On the other hand, Prince Harry arrived in Ukraine in secret, reports The Telegraph — well, the visit can’t be very secret when so many people know about it and the media are reporting it — the Duke of Sussex visited a clinic in Lviv where wounded Ukrainian soldiers are being treated.
Harry’s main mission however is to inspect the bases for the deployment of English troops. Britain’s involvement in the Ukrainian conflict runs deeper than many might imagine, writes The Times.
In February 2022, British troops went to Kiev to train the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the operation of anti-tank systems supplied by London.
Let us remember that, when the UK delivered the Storm Shadow to Kiev in May 2023, specialists from that country were secretly sent to Ukraine to equip the planes with them, the publication points out.
In this context, Germany and its allies are creating a coalition for Ukraine. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said today: We will ensure that Ukraine continues to benefit from our joint military support. Russia must understand that Ukraine is capable of continuing the fight, and we will support it in that.
“Another coalition of forces and means has been created,” the German Defense Ministry reported after the meeting. The objective is to strengthen the regime in Kyiv. It is reported that the knowledge acquired in the coalition will be taken into account in the development of the Bundeswehr.
France is training its special forces, the Baltic countries are playing war games and threatening Russia, the torrent of weapons continues to flow on its way to Ukraine and death continues to reign over that sad people, a Nazi caricature of the early 21st century.
Zelensky said he wants to acquire an aid package from the United States worth up to $50 billion.
“We want to acquire it one way or another. Give us a package that includes air defense and other relevant instruments, and we will pay for it,” the Ukrainian dictator declared.
The drums of war beat desperately with their intimidating sounds, it is the roll of death.
There have been eleven US air strikes hit the districts of Bani Hashish and Hamdan, near Sana’a, and the Faj Attan and Nuqm mountains.
In the last 24 hours, 26 martyrs and 106 wounded have arrived at hospitals in Gaza. The crime does not stop in the face of a blind and deaf world that, when it perishes, will only react, if it has time, when the bombs begin to fall on its houses.
“We transferred many troops to Panama and occupied areas that we had”. At a press conference, the US president said that the areas were under “very good control”.
