Since early June, the nation of Bolivia, under President Luis Arce Catacora, has been wracked by political violence unleashed by followers of former President Evo Morales and by a profound economic crisis, which the International Monetary Fund sees as an opportunity to demand that “statist” economic policies be abandoned and replaced by the failed radical neoliberal policies of the past.

The massive coordinated drone attacks launched by Ukraine on June 1 against one of the components of Russia’s nuclear triad clearly crossed a “red line” laid out in that country’s nuclear doctrine, all the more so as the operation could not have been carried out without the involvement of one or several NATO member states (cf.

On May 30, after a very long and heated debate in the country, the French parliament voted 305 to 199 in favor of legislation to legalize assisted dying for French citizens over 18 years of age, who are suffering from “constant physical or psychological” pain. Although some parliamentarians had argued for including the euthanasia of minors and people with mental […]

A few apparently unconnected, sometimes imperceptible and yet crucial signs indicate that, in Germany, the temperature under the surface is quickly rising and the German population, which has seemingly accepted all the self-inflicted hardships so far, might soon say “basta!”, and turn the tide in the leading European country. On June 7, some 700 persons gathered in a protest rally […]

Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy tore into lying Israeli media coverage, in a column on June 8 titled “If there’s No Flour, Then Eat Blood and Lies”.
