Integrimi ne BE eshte fitorja me e madhe gjeopolitike e kombit tone. Ajo qe une them eshte se eshte lufta jone te ndalim politiken ne Shqiperi, nuk do ta bej Brukseli per ne dhe skemi si ta kerkojme aty. Qellimi aktual dhe shyqyr ne Bruksel eshte te integrohet rajoni me shpejtesi ne BE, kjo eshte pozitive dhe ne nuk duhet ta humbasim kete shans.

O Juxhin, ky nuk është euro-entuziazëm o shoku, ky është "kompleks inferioriteti." Të thuash "le të gëzohemi "që integrimi ecën përpara edhe nëse Evropa mbyll sytë para halleve tona. Për çfarë na duhet kjo Evropë që sa herë kemi pasur nevojë na ka kthyer krahët,e gjithmonë na ka trajtuar si qytetare te dorës së dytë?! Edhe sot injoron gjithë protestat tona, shkatërrimin e Vjosë-Nartës për arsye gjeopolitike... Çfarë dreqin do të integrojmë në BE pas pak vitesh, Ca resorte private mbi gërmadhat e natyrës sonë dhe një popull pa asnjë të drejtë?

This is wrong for me personally. Why? I have express this here 👇 Shortly: The EU bureaucracy is designed to work with governments and push for reforms through negotiations with governments, it is not a political body that can take part in political discussions, this is our fight as Albanians, the problem is the captured media that is distorting this presenting it as an endorsement of the Brussels towards the government. Also it is extremely important that the protest to not damage the EU integration of the country, even if the Brussels will ignore some things for geopolitical reasons we must be happy as long as the integration will move forward, this is a win for all of us, the contrary stoping the integration process for whatever reason is a lose for all of us.

Il a bon dos, le “système” ! Marre de cette explication passe-partout qui n’explique rien et ne sert qu’à couvrir les responsables et mettre les fautes sous le tapis. Le système, ce sont des personnes. Ceux qui ont failli doivent être identifiés et sanctionnés
Les fonctionnaire ne doivent pas servir de boucs émissaires d’un système patriarcal qui échoue structurellement à protéger femmes et enfants. Pour lutter réellement contre les violences sexistes et sexuelles, nous avons besoin d’institutions fortes et d’agents en mesure d’agir.

Governo tedesco respinge offerta di UniCredit su Commerzbank - Il Sole 24 ORE share.google/ltJVIjUoniXr1zR…
Germany has officially rejected the takeover bid by Italian bank UniCredit for Commerzbank and reaffirmed its support for the German bank’s independence. A decision that could strain relations with Italy after recent disagreements with France over SCAF.

Puo darsi che il governo tedesco abbia avuto ragioni comprensibili per rigettare l'offerta, anche dato che lo stato tedesco aveva offerto il suo sostegno finanziario alla banca quando essa navigava per cattive acque economiche. Se invece anche l'accesso di Italo al mercato ferroviario tedesco venisse rifiutato o intralciato oltre misura le relazioni bilaterali ne resentirebbero sicuramente. Gran parte delle preoccupazioni e riserve avanzate dalle autorità ferroviarie e dai sindacati tedeschi risulta poco convincente.

Denys is claiming that Freya, a FP-7 variant (based on the 48N6 missile used by S-3/400s) will cost ~$700k-$750K. I’d be interested to see how efficient the missile actually is and how fast production can be scaled. There are very few options for ballistics interceptors and this year will be rough because of this. If Freya can provide additional munitions, it will be very welcome.
Fire Point co-owner Denys Shtilierman: Ukraine's new missile, designed to intercept ballistic targets is already complete and has successfully passed testing. @DenShtilierman added that Fire Point also reached an agreement with German defense manufacturer Hensoldt to supply radar systems for the Freya air defense complex.

Today's Ukrainian strike on the Moscow oil refinery needs to be viewed not as a single attack at one more Russian oil refinery but as part of a systemic Ukrainian campaign against Moscow's fuel infrastructure - Ukrainian expert Serhii Misiura. Ukrainian strikes within the last month happened in various places across Russia: ports, reservoir parks, oil depots, export infrastructure, objects in Crimea, in the Baltics and the south of Russia. Although pressure on Russia's oil industry in general is necessary and a positive event, the main goal is now seen more clearly: Moscow. Strikes on Volodarskaya Line Production and Dispatch Station, Solnechnogorsk Oil Pumping Station and the Moscow oil refinery essentially became the turning point in this campaign. The target is Moscow Ring Oil Product Pipeline, a unique pipeline system more than 400 km long that provides Moscow with fuel. Moscow oil refinery is one of the key objects of this system. It refines over 10 million tons of oil per year and covers up to 70% of Moscow and Moscow region's needs for fuel. The refinery controls about 35-40% of Moscow's fuel market. Basically, about 30% of cars in Moscow use gas or diesel from this plant. The Moscow Ring Oil Product Pipeline is also crucial for aviation - it is used to deliver fuel to the largest airports in the area, including Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo airports. Any disruptions in the system create additional risks for all logistics in the region (and it's important to note that many Russian cargo routes go through Moscow airports). Moscow's oil ring is not autonomous. It depends on supplies from large oil refineries and external pumping stations. Hence, Ukrainian strikes on various oil infrastructure objects in different regions of Russia are starting to form a clear picture. Ukraine is executing consistent and systemic pressure on critical supply nodes of the Russian oil infrastructure. If the Ukrainian strategy continues, for Russia, this will mean not just problems with oil exports or fuel shortages in the Russian regions - this will directly influence Moscow city.

More footage of the Moscow oil refinery in Kapotnya, one of the top 10 refineries in Russia. It's a strategically important object as it supplies about 40% of petroleum products for Moscow metropolitan area. The oil refinery is supposed to provide full independence to Moscow metropolitan area, including fuel needed by local airports. It is a heavily defended object due to its strategic significance.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has gained a significant advantage over the Russians — Starlink satellite communication. This system is now an integral part of our army, enabling stable connectivity with drone operators and command posts, and allowing terminals to be used for so-called middle-strike drones on the territory of occupied Ukraine. Unfortunately. And the problem does not lie in the risk that these terminals might be switched off for us (though that risk does exist — even if it is not particularly large). The problem lies in the degradation of technological development and complete complacency. It is convenient for our military to use Starlink as a communication source for absolutely everything. That is understandable, and it barely falls under my criticism (although I am convinced that any military organism should have at least three types of communication — just as it should have several logistics routes, not a single Starlink terminal and a single road. The Kursk operation demonstrated this perfectly well). The problem is that when Starlink was switched off for the Russians, they of course degraded and lost many capabilities. But there was no collapse. Thanks to the development of MASH systems (on which Russia is placing its primary efforts), the construction of WiFi bridges, and certain domestic developments, they managed to maintain command and control of their forces. Yes, they are currently suffering from a large number of drone strikes targeting Starlink. But it is quite likely they will find a countermeasure. The Ukrainian state (the Ministry of Defence) needs to find a balance between purchasing cheap and effective strike systems that rely exclusively on Starlink, and the promising developments of Ukrainian engineers who have already created several working variations of drone communication systems. The problem is significantly deeper than it might appear. And it concerns not only aircraft but UGVs as well.

🇷🇺🇬🇧 Coup de semonce russe dans la Manche - La Russie fait-elle le choix de l'escalade ? Ce mardi 16 juin matin, la Russie a tiré un coup de semonce en direction d'un yacht jugé trop proche. Un événement rarissime, qui pourrait bien être le révélateur d'une dangereuse escalade navale dans la Manche. Officiellement, RAS donc, un incident isolé. Officieusement, il s'agit probablement d'un avertissement après les arraisonnements du Tagor le 1er juin par les commandos marine et du Smyrtos le 14 juin Avec ce coup de semonce en direction d'un bateau civil, la Russie évite l'escalade immédiate avec un navire militaire. Mais surtout, viser un yacht lui offre un déni plausible : ce coup n'aurait officiellement rien à voir avec l'opération britannique de dimanche dernier, et la Russie ne peut donc être accusée par les Occidentaux d'alimenter une dangereuse escalade et de violer le droit maritime international. Certains tireront comme conclusion qu'il faut cesser d'intercepter les bateaux de la flotte fantôme pour éviter une guerre navale de haute intensité avec la Russie. Je pense le contraire : nous devons rester fermes face à Poutine qui ne connait que le langage de la force. Et continuer à justifier les arraisonnements par des motifs juridiques valables au regard du droit maritime international : fraude au pavillon, menace environnementale grave, transpondeur AIS coupé... En matière de sanctions, nous avons tout interdit ou presque : la pression sur la flotte fantôme constitue désormais notre principal levier pour saigner l'économie russe. huffingtonpost.fr/internatio…
🇷🇺🇬🇧 Nouveau coup dur pour la flotte fantôme : le Royaume-Uni intercepte le Smyrtos Deux semaines après l'interception du Tagor par les commandos marine français, c'est maintenant les Royal Marines qui prennent le contrôle d'un autre navire de la flotte fantôme. Une première pour les Britanniques. Il faut saluer le courage des Britanniques : une frégate russe, Amiral Grigorovitch, est en patrouille près du UK et a escorté de nombreux tankers à travers la Manche. Les Européens semblent - enfin - prendre conscience de ce levier majeur pour tarir les recettes russes : contraindre la flotte fantôme, c'est s'attaquer à la "machine de guerre russe", selon Zelensky. Le Gouvernement britannique a partagé sa détermination : "It's just the beginning !" Keir Starmer, le Premier ministre, a asséné que "malgré les grands efforts de Poutine pour échapper aux sanctions, nous ne le laisserons pas faire." L'effet de l'opération a été immédiat : six tankers qui approchaient les eaux britanniques ont fait demi-tour express, pour contourner les îles britanniques par l'Atlantique Nord. Les conséquences économiques de ces opérations sont importantes : - hausse des primes de risque imposées à la Russie - rallongement des routes - amendes et pénalités contractuelles pour chaque jour de retard (100 à 150K$) La question, maintenant, est : combien de temps faudra-t-il aux Européens pour prendre conscience de l'effet déterminant que pourrait avoir Sky Shield ? Sanctionner économiquement la Russie c'est bien, protéger l'Ukraine des bombardements, c'est encore mieux !

Wie immer MoU aussieht: Dass Pakistan es als diplomatischer Hauptarchitekt zuwege gebracht hat, ist völlig unplausibel. Als wichtiger Vermittler - neben Golfstaaten - ja. Aber nicht ohne ständige, aktive Rückendeckung Chinas, das selbst nicht in Erscheinung treten wollte.

The three things Iran would count as victories: 1. Controlling the Strait 2. Restricting Israeli freedom of action in Lebanon 3. Receiving money upfront. They're getting all three, judging from what has leaked. 1. Iran won't impose a toll on Strait traffic for 60 days -- which is another way of saying Iran controls the Strait for 60 days. 2. Israel can respond to Hezbollah only in "self-defense," but not go after leadership, etc. See Trump's comment today at the G7. 3. "Small gesture(s)," Jared called the money upfront on the background call, to build trust.
KEY TAKEAWAY: Iran’s interpretation of the agreement’s provisions about the Strait of Hormuz would constitute a significant strategic victory for Iran if its interpretation became the recognized reality. Iranian statements indicate that the regime defines an “open” strait as one that remains under Iranian management, which conflicts with US and global commercial interests. (1/2)

Heute erscheint mein neues Buch. Ein Buch, von dem ich mir gewünscht hätte, dass ich es nie schreiben muss. Vor Jahren sagte mir ein Berliner Polizist einen Satz, den ich nie vergessen habe: „𝐖𝐢𝐫 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝.“ Damals hielt ich das für Frust – doch heute bin ich mir nicht mehr sicher. Über Jahre habe ich mit Polizistinnen und Polizisten in ganz Deutschland gesprochen. Mit Menschen, die nachts zu Messerangriffen fahren. Die Clankriminalität bekämpfen.Die Gewalt erleben, über die viele nur in den Nachrichten lesen. Und ich habe immer wieder ähnliche Sätze gehört: „Die Statistiken erzählen nicht die ganze Wahrheit.“ „Die Politik hat den Bezug zur Realität verloren.“ „Die Lage ist ernster, als die meisten glauben.“ Und irgendwann stellte ich mir selbst eine Frage: Darf man darüber überhaupt noch offen sprechen? Als Journalistin kann es darauf nur 𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐞 Antwort geben. 𝐉𝐚, 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐬 𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐠𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐮𝐧! Ich weiß dass dieses Buch Kritik auslösen wird. Ich weiß, dass manche versuchen werden, mich in eine politische Ecke zu stellen. Aber was wäre die Alternative gewesen? Schweigen? Wegschauen? So tun, als hätten mir all diese Menschen etwas anderes erzählt? Dieses Buch ist mein Versuch, denjenigen eine Stimme zu geben, die jeden Tag für unseren Rechtsstaat den Kopf hinhalten. Und jetzt interessiert mich eure Meinung: Werden die Probleme in Deutschland offen genug diskutiert – oder gibt es Themen, über die wir lieber schweigen? 👇

À Lyon, il existe une cellule de 4 m². On y a entassé jusqu'à huit personnes. L'une d'elles y donnait des cours d'Histoire pour tenir. C'est la prison de Montluc. Des briques rouges, un mirador, un mur aveugle. Bâtie en 1921, presque oubliée. Février 1943. Les nazis la réquisitionnent. À sa tête, un nom qui glace encore Lyon : Klaus Barbie. En dix-huit mois, près de 10 000 personnes franchissent ces portes. Résistants, juifs, otages. Beaucoup ne repartiront pas. Premier étage, cellule 130. Un homme épuisé attend son transfert. C'est Jean Moulin. En dessous, cellule 75, un autre prisonnier rassemble ses codétenus et leur raconte le Moyen Âge, à voix basse. Il s'appelle Marc Bloch. Le plus grand historien français. Dans une semaine, il entrera au Panthéon. Aujourd'hui, Montluc est un mémorial. L'entrée est gratuite. On peut pousser la porte de la cellule 75 et s'arrêter là, sans un mot. Les murs n'ont pas bougé. C'est ce qui prend à la gorge.

More countries are considering the Franco-Italian SAMP/T NG air defense system as a substitute for the US Patriot missile system. Manufacturer Eurosam is in talks with Kuwait and Hungary, while around 15 countries—including Switzerland and Estonia—are evaluating the system. Demand is rising because Patriot batteries face long delivery delays and limited availability. Source: Bloomberg

‼️🚨🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 Washington is preparing to withdraw approximately 20% of the refueling aircraft stationed at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport following the US-Iran MoU. 72 US military refueling aircraft currently occupy significant space at Ben Gurion, causing congestion and threatening mass flight cancellations affecting over 2 million passengers this summer. Israeli Transportation Minister Miri Regev demanded immediate removal, warning Netanyahu that if half the planes are not gone by Tuesday, more than 2 million citizens will face cancelled flights including Rosh Hashanah travel to Uman. Withdrawn aircraft may be relocated to Europe but kept on standby to redeploy to Israel if war resumes — Channel 12 did not confirm whether planes would leave Israel entirely or move to Israeli Air Force bases. Israel’s Civil Aviation Authority head warned in May that turning Ben Gurion into a “US military base with limited commercial operations” threatens Israeli airlines’ economic stability and the return of foreign carriers.
