Maybe beacuse this new President Kast, is from a rich family. Or maybe because his father was a Wehrmacht officer and member of the NSDAP? Maybe beacuse Rubio was quick to congratulate him. Take your pick.

Add. Most newspapers call him " ultra right".

 

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Chile’s ultra-conservative former lawmaker José Antonio Kast secured a stunning victory in the presidential election Sunday, defeating the candidate of the center-left governing coalition and setting the stage for the country’s most right-wing government in 35 years of democracy.

Add context: Under former dictator Augusto Pinochet’s regime (1973-1990) many were tortured ( ca. 10 K) and killed (ca. 3/4 K)

 

A JetBlue flight from the small Caribbean nation of Curaçao halted its ascent to avoid colliding with a US air force refueling tanker on Friday, and the pilot blamed the military plane for crossing his path.

“We almost had a midair collision up here,” the JetBlue pilot said, according to a recording of his conversation with air traffic control. “They passed directly in our flight path ... They don’t have their transponder turned on, it’s outrageous.”

 

More than a third of Tuvalu citizens have entered the ballot for a world-first climate visa which would allow them to permanently migrate to Australia.

Opening for the first intake on 16 June, the influx of registrations could indicate that programme will be hugely oversubscribed, with only 280 visas awarded to Tuvalu citizens from the random ballot each year.

" These disturbing photos raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. "

I'd say that Epstein got along" just fine" with them.

This link states, though I can't verify this, that:

According to classified BKA (Bundeskriminalamt, in Eng: Federal Criminal Police Office, Germany) reports obtained by the team:

1,072 incidents involving 1,955 drones in 2025 alone (as of November 19). Forty-five percent occurred in evening hours. Drone swarms flew “almost exclusively over or near military installations.”

Note: author checks out though.

 

NATO chief Mark Rutte on Thursday urged alliance members to realise that they are Russia's next targets, urging them to step up defence efforts to prevent a possible war with Moscow "on the scale our grandparents endured". Rutte also argued that a peace plan in Ukraine would be a test of whether Russia "really wants peace".

here the whole speech

 

Leaders of the “coalition of the willing” group of nations will hold a video call on Thursday as chaotic American efforts to push through a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine reach a crunch moment.

Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said his officials would hand over a revised version of a peace plan to US negotiators on Wednesday before the call with leaders and officials from about 30 countries.

Let's be carefull now with the NYT... is there another source?

Checks out, I found Moscow Times:

A Russian national charged in Poland with spying for Russian intelligence has admitted to passing information to Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), Polish media reported Monday, citing case files.

Investigators also allege that Rogov received a courier shipment containing components for a bomb, including liquid explosives, fuses and a power source.

 

Russia has welcomed changes in the U.S. National Security Strategy, saying the adjustments that marked a radical departure from Washington's previous policy were "largely consistent" with Moscow's vision.

Washington's new National Security Strategy, published early Friday, took aim at allies in Europe, calling them over-regulated, lacking in "self-confidence" and facing "civilizational erasure" due to immigration.

should be an icon somewhere when accounts are < 1 months. See this picture it has this yellow thingy next to poster name <1 day

No real filter option as such, like Tesseract, but it helps for the " filtering".

I'm not on that community but in World, Europe and Politics community I've seen this issue too. Don't recognize that alias with the numbers though. But a new user posts a whole lot for 3 hours and then deletes it's own account. And then gets a new account. Repeat.

See also ex. this post on Lemmy/support.

add: fyi a solution: Tesseract and Voyager have filters for accounts< 1 month old

Of course he does. Any real democracy is a threat to autocrats. Especially if they don't cede to bullies. So the louder the autocrats bark, the bigger their fears are, and the stronger democracies get.

Hope BELGIUM @ DeWever understands this too. Maybe we need to mail the Belgian PM, so he doesn't fold and release the frozen funds.

China is almost as big as USA.Does it mean that maybe both China and USA should focus more on internal issues and less in expansionism?

That would be quite ...progressive?

Never thought I'd get to say that in this context. The world must be upside down and the magnetic poles must have inverted.

So your thinking is something like:

because Ukraine was invaded in Crimea in 2014 and there after, in 2022 there was the full-blown invasion; you conclude that Europe is willfully ignorant of Russia being badfaith actor and that therefore Europe still naively believes that Ruzzia has peaceful intentions? Weird conclusion.

EU started with sanctions after Crimea was annexed. So no, Europeans didn't think Russia had peaceful intentions. Also there is the shooting down in 2014 of a passangerplane MH17. So again, no.

 

The worst-case scenario is now a possible one: European troops fighting off an invasion largely alone.

It’s by no means clear the Europeans would succeed. Romanian and other European officials at the exercise in Cincu, about 260 kilometers (162 miles) north of Bucharest by road, voiced concerns about how long it would take for NATO allies to make it to the front.

French four-star General Philippe de Montenon said he’s confident Europe could prevail, even without the US on side. “The direction of history is a progressive disengagement of the United States from the European continent,” he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s chief interlocutor with the Russian government last month advised a senior aide to Vladimir Putin on how the Russian leader should go about pitching the U.S. president on a peace plan aimed at bringing an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine, according to a transcript of the call published by Bloomberg News on Tuesday.

Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, according to a transcript of the Oct. 14 call published by the news service, advised Putin’s foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov that Putin should call Trump to congratulate him for the Gaza peace deal, say Russia had supported it and that he respects the president as a man of peace.

 

The United States has struck two more alleged Latin American drug-running boats, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Monday, adding that all six people on board were killed. Critics say the US strikes in the Pacific and Caribbean – which have now claimed the lives of 76 people – amount to extrajudicial killings

Note: a bit weird title; better is" LatAm boats".

Edit: apperantly someone liked my suggestion, as the title was just changed.

 

"The U.S. cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals," Petro wrote. Petro said even though there were 15,660 Americans without legal immigration status in Colombia, he would never carry out a raid to return handcuffed Americans to the United States. "We are the opposite of the Nazis," he wrote, in a jab at Trump. Mexico also refused a request last week to let a U.S. military aircraft land with migrants.

 

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man who is now central to Donald Trump’s election campaign, has been in regular contact with Vladimir Putin for the past two years, according to a report in the US.

The Wall Street Journal, citing several in-post and former US, European and Russian officials, reported that the conversations between the two men ranged from the personal to the geopolitical and included a request from the Russian leader not to activate his Starlink ​​satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favour to the Chinese leader and Putin ally, Xi Jinping.
