“Remarquez, Messieurs, que je ne blame ni n’approuve; je raconte ». Talleyrand.

Israel is destroying every single home in the southern 40 miles of Lebanon. This is not “targeting Hezbollah strongholds.” These are Christian villages and Sunni villages and Shia villages where people have lived for centuries.

This sightline through the Arc du Carrousel, past the Louvre Pyramid, and into the museum beyond is one of the more deliberate views in Paris. After dark, when everything is lit up, and the geometry snaps into focus, it's particularly striking. Each element belongs to a different chapter of history. The arch was commissioned by Napoleon to mark his military victories. The palace-turned-museum behind it once served as a royal residence for French kings. The pyramid, added in 1989, was so controversial at the time that it sparked a national debate. What's worth noticing is that none of it was torn down or replaced. The symbols of empire and monarchy were absorbed rather than demolished, gradually repurposed into public institutions. Even the pyramid, once widely criticised, now looks like it was always meant to be there. This corridor is one of the places where you can see most clearly how the city has layered new meaning onto old structures without letting go of them entirely.

“A geopolitical Chernobyl.” That’s the stark assessment of the US-Israeli war with Iran, from France’s former prime minister Dominique de Villepin. “What we see is a meltdown of the core reactor that is the US leadership.”

Connaissant les Iraniens, je doute qu’ils se laissent dicter la date de la signature de l’accord pour qu’elle corresponde à l’anniversaire de Trump…

Deux interprétations qui ne s’excluent pas : des désaccord à Téhéran ou la volonté de rien se laisser dicter par l’ennemi.

Pope Leo's views on immigration should be completely non-controversial. He says he is against open borders. Countries have a right to decide who enters. Mass immigration is a problem to be solved. People should stay in their own countries. But that if people do come, they should be treated like human beings with dignity. He also says if they come, they should learn the language and respect the laws. But because people's brains are broken by American politics they cannot understand this nuance.

La loi, madame, la loi. Kippa, voile et croix sont autorisés pour les élus mais pas une prière qu’elle soit chrétienne, juive ou musulmane.

La loi autorise les élus à porter les vêtements qu’ils veulent - kippa, voile etc. - mais interdit toute manifestation religieuse.

On this day in 1954, the US backed a coup against Jacobo Árbenz, the progressive, democratically elected leader of Guatemala, because he sought to restore land to small farmers and Indigenous communities that had been dispossessed by US fruit companies.

A priori, je pense que cette décision mérite en effet réflexion.

« Ces élites mondialisées », « cosmopolites » en d’autres temps. Curieuse, cette incapacité à admettre qu’on peut et qu’on doit être, à la fois,fils d’un lieu, citoyen français et enfant du monde. Et j’ajouterais volontiers de civilisation européenne. Pourquoi s’enfermer ainsi?

These: Kern des Problems mit deutsch – französischer Kooperation in der Verteidigungspolitik ist der unterschiedliche Stellenwert von „Souveränität“. Deutschland setzt auf Einbindung („nie wieder allein“), Frankreich auf souveräne Letztentscheidung („nie wieder abhängig“).
