Chuck Schumer, Senate majority leader, issued a statement that Israel was not pursuing this war correctly and that Israel needed to oust the current Premier and reelect a new leader. He added that a two State solution is the only way to lasting peace.
Emanuel Macron French Prime Minister said that while Israel did have a right to defend itself, this right wasn’t absolute and he never said it was.
These two statements seem to show unity in the West and a growing opposition to Israel’s actions in Gaza. What can we say that will heinous what happened in Israel months earlier,the proverb remains,two wrongs don’t make a right and the international community doesn’t support the idea of pursuing Hamas at all costs. While there are arguments for the elimination of the group,the process requires too much civilian. Tragedies as we have seen.

Moscow Crocus City Hall, At least 133 dead and 4 gunmen apprehended by Russian authorities in Moscow. Isis claimed responsibility for the attack. Investigations are ongoing, American authorities see no reason to dispute the Isis claim of responsibility. Europe needs to be ready for similar attacks in all cities towns and capitals. A registration system for suspected persons may be needed. Prior to this event the Russian elections saw Vladimir Putin gain more than 87 percent of the electoral vote in the Presidential elections.
Existential Threats to Europe and its Existence
March 31/2024
I have noticed that many nations are now calling for greater alliance in Europe, expansion of the EU to include the State of Montenegro by 2028 , increased defense spending and for a call to stop allowing Europe from falling into a second Tier nation.
The danger is that Europe is becoming a satellite State to the US , Russia or even China. While currently aligned with Great Britain and America, the position as a second Tier nation is not something to be aspire to. The States must act in unison in defense, military spending and have a common stance to both Ukraine and the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Here, I continue to call for a a stronger and united Europe. You can donate directly to me to help finance this cause.
April 13/14
Iran has launched a drone attack expected to reach Israeli territory in hours. We did anticipate this, check my video today on YouTube. Israel has also vowed to counterattack.
hence, this will all play out in the forthcoming hours and days. We could see missile deployment by both sides as a following. This remains to be seen.
April 17th
The Israeli war cabinet has convened a number of meetings since Iran’s strike inside Israel. In what is a very much tit for tat game of war between two adversities,it seems that such acts while relatively contained, could get out of hand. We don’t see Iran wanting an outright war with Israel at the moment and believe it’s last act was to denounce the killing of its officers in the consulate’s office in Syria.
It is less clear with Israel. Their patience in fighting a number of organizations,Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and perhaps others , all alleged by some to be directly funded by Iran, might allow Israel to prefer a more heads on policy with Iran rather than continuing what one might describe as a proxy war in some context, albeit the Palestinians are they’re own indigenous group. Israel.has claimed that Hamas. received in the region of 100 million US Dollars yearly from Iran.
May 2nd 2024
Ukraine has recently issued new draft orders and mandates. The conscription age has been lowered to 25,meaning all Ukrainian men between 25 and 60 are eligible for enlistment. We notice here that the usual conscription age is 18-35 for wars past.
Also in what can be described as an unpopular move for Ukrainian men living abroad, the government has refused consular assistance, renewal of passports for those abroad,seeking ultimately their repatriation to Ukraine.
Both measures seem to emphasize the need for Ukraine to recruit many hundreds of thousands of men to continue the war effort. Many Ukrainian men are currently exempt from service,based upon status as essential, disability or family needs. It has been reported that hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers have either been killed, injured in battle or are im need to temporary or permanent demobilisation.
June 6th DDay anniversary and Upcoming European Elections
we see here the rise of the far right parties in Europe as not the correct answer to the European crisis. We see a social intervention and a complete change of State taxation policy as the way forward to solving the housing and inflation crisis.
At this anniversary day one has to just examine how Europe has evolved. Europe is now dependent on a strong Franco German relationship and good trading partners in Asia and Americas. We see how Europe has evolved and to progress we encourage migrants but to fill the population gaps in Europe where the birth rate isn’t sufficient. To that mass housing initatives are warranted and the society needs to switch away from a landlord feudal system to a more equal society.
June 14th European Parliamentary Elections
The European elections were marked by significant gains by far-right candidates and parties throughout Europe, particularly in France and Germany. The far-right movement has largely gained steam from the huge influx of migrants. Here we are of the opinion that the migrant flows aren’t bad for Europe and that migration can help contribute to those countries with declining populations and aging population.
The solution to the new mandate for change should be more aligned to an increased social policy, already adopted more correctly by Spain and Portugal. The maintenance of artificially inflated property prices and rent prices even with a decline in migration will see the problems many Europeans are faced with now remain and not improve. It is necessary to remove certain privileges of property owners, investment property taxes, non-resident property owners, and enact laws that set maximum rents and remove then also all red tape for new property development for mass housing developments. I think countries can do better in Europe by both legislation and if necessary by adoption of a constitutional right to a house at a maximum price.

It was a pleasure to recently visit all European Union buildings and headquarters of the EU in Brussels and Luxembourg. I will share the solidarity photo in the park of multilingualism outside the European court of justice on my Instagram profile.
Israel and Hezbollah are exchanging rhetoric but have long been engaged in such rhetoric. While an escalation is possible,I opine that the major event is the US presidential election this year, stay tuned.

World News Update Aug 11th
Both wars in Eastern Europe and the middle east/Israel continue to run side-by-side. As mentioned earlier, participating nations are likely to guage the upcoming US elections in relation to their war tactics. This is because that the war efforts of both the Ukraine and Israel are highly dependent on Congressional funding.
Iran has little to gain from the tit for tat warfare with Israel in which a number of commanders of its proxies have been assassinated but needs to discourage further uncontrolled attacks from Israel.
The incursion by Ukraine into Kursk Russia is continuing. Reports are that Ukrainian numbers are in the thousands. Recently Zelensky acknowledged the incursion as part of its defense of its territories and Russia has evacuated over 70,000 people and declared a state of emergency. The declaration may have some significance in terms of the military response. It may allow Russia to heavily bomb it’s own territory or use other means on its territory to repel the incursion; or it could call for diversion of other betallions to this region. This will become apparent in the upcoming days.
Aug 22nd
Tensions in the Middle-East have somewhat descalated as predicted. The Russ-Ukraine war is complicated in that Russia is gaining ground in the East but has lost some territory in the Kursk region. As I indicated earlier a lot of moves and allingments are being made based upon the upcoming US elections. All parties involved seeking to capitalize or minimise the effects of this what could be significant event depending on the outcome. It has come apparent to me, though by the lack of serious movement by an involved country or the acquiescence of these countries as at least , that there is a fear of the opponent, and a showing of non full confidence in their war efforts, at least a fear of escalation if nothing else.
Sept 9th
I see that the German chancellor Mr Schultz has called for more urgency when it comes to peace talks between the Ukraine and Russia and for a second peace conference,this time with Russia in attendance. Well Mr Schultz is correct and could seek advice from this website and blog published and tweeted 2 years ago. We can still avoid meaningless loss of life,property and social devastation.
I also see the far right party in Germany has gained popular support. Migrants already experience some of the lowest standards of living in European countries ,along with low income workers. Rather than turning one against the other, both should unite and seek a greater social distribution from the top.down. The answer to migration shouldn’t be to insulate the rich and compel migrants to live amongst lower classes but there should be an equal spread amongst all district’s and precincts in a city.
Sept 28th Significant Escalation in both Wars( Middle East and Russia-Ukraine)
In what has been a substantial repositioning of parties to both Wars in the Ukraine and the Middle-East,.substantial developments have evolved in the last days and weeks.
Firstly, a pager intelligence attack manages to catch Hezbollah members offguard unawares that their devices had been compromised and turned into walking explosives. This preceded a serious of targeted missile attacks on Hezbollah sites in Lebanon and Beirut. The Israeli military has issued a statement that the entire chain of command of Hezbollah has been practically wiped out. It has also.beem reported that the Hezbollah leader was killed in an attack on his compound in Beirut.
Russia-Ukraine
Zelensky is pushing it’s allies for more and significant supplies of.long range missiles to.hit it’s enemy on its own territory.
Russia.has responded by indicating a change on its doctrine on the legitimate use of nuclear weapons to indicate justification of their use where Russia was to come into heavy bombardment from a non-nuclear nation.
A brief commentary is warranted here. We see these escalations someways linked to the possible upcoming US elections as both nations Ukraine and Israel are strongly dependent on US financial support and hence these could be political moves before they are able to establish what support ,more or less, the next administration will provide.
Oct 12th World Conflicts
After Iran launched roughly 180 missiles at Israel in its statement as a retaliatory move for assassinations of political figures, the world has been left in limbo for a guaranteed “heavy price’ reprisal by Israel. Since this hasn’t occurred, there must be quite a lot going behind the scenes.
We will try to figure out here what is going on. There are perhaps a number of reasons we can decipher as to the delay.
Firstly, Israel may need time to actually map out targets and the plan and coordination of such a military launch.
Secondly, political factors can be at play, secret discussions btw Washington and Israel could be taking place, as well as internal matters in Israel that need to be voted in for such an attack to occur.
Thirdly, Israel may need to replenish the iron dome for a further attack by Iran, some missiles may have been depleted or damaged in the last attack and it may need time to do so.
Fourthly, it is reasonable that logistics are to play and arms deliveries are at play so that munitions are full before any launch.
Finally, a rethink may be going on ,as to whether a retaliation is needed.
This is just the start of our analysis as to what is delaying the promised heavy price.
BRICS Summit , Israeli Response to October 1st and the Deployment of North Korean Troops in the Ukraine
Anyone watching the BRICS summit could not but notice that the attempt to isolate Russia has dismally failed. Any conference with two of the biggest drivers in the world economy, India and China, needs the international recognition it deserves. While one could live in their own bubble and ignore it, it would be unwise to do so.
In a further escalation in the tensions between East and West, North Korean troops have been deployed in the Ukraine. There is military co-operation under their bilateral defense treaty under article 3 I believe. Putin alluded to this when questioned by international media at the BRICS conference and shed light on the Kursk situation. He added that the Ukrainian legions in the Kursk had been encircled. We can’t independently verify this here but would think sucj an outcome highly-likely when we are talking about a couple of thousand troops at the most. Stay tuned for further developments on this front.
The long promised Israeli retaliation was marked by the launch of some 120 Israeli fighter planes that targeted: ballistic missile manufacturing hubs,airbases,air-defense systems and other military installations. Iran issued a statement that it reserved the right to respond.
We notice here, that both sides referring to their attacks as defenses of their State at each launch of aggression. While most States do call their military defense forces, I believe an attack on another State’s territory should be called for what it is, a retaliatory attack, an alright attack, a muted attack or another. Once is confusing the word defense in the ongoing rhetoric between both nations. Iran in a statement reserved the right to respond. We don’t see an escalation of this conflict likely at this time unless one or both sides were to target the heads of State and be successful in doing so. We notice that both sides managed to penetrate the others defense system , hence if one or both sides had a large nuclear stockpile, one or more missiles is likely to get through, should all out war break out.

The Creation of the Department of Government Efficiency
The pun on the words to reflect DOGE token is obviously intentional. Further proof that crypto at this point in time is based on marketing rather than functionality strength. It is no.surprise Elon Musk.will.had Doge as he is the biggest marketer of the crypto. It goes without saying that he himself has no need to.profit from the crypto going up, albeit he surely will, otherwise it would be nonsense to tout a token that one person doesn’t possess himself.
New Presidential Cabinet being Appointed
Many of the the government staff are new being appointed by the President elect. From afar it appears to be largely one loyal family of appointees. Lessons learned from the 2016 Administration would be if they would like to stay in office for the four years the strategy would be to tow the line; I could add deflecting blame on the President wouldn’t be such a strategy if their aim is to stay in office for the full four years. It remains to be seen. But all RFK, Elon Musk and other cabinet members are indeed replaceable. It was stated here at the last European.com before they take office and we will just see how many of them hold their positions for the full term. Safe to say is that Vance’s position is safe as constitutionally guaranteed ! So all those furthering their carrers I suggest a big smile and a big Yes Sir )
Ireland General Election Nov 29th
Irish citizens have the chance to oust the last government that oversaw the housing crisis in Ireland and with large number of migrants coming to Ireland despite the housing crisis, being housed in many instances before Irish citizens and residents.
A dramatic overhaul of the last government is needed. Left wing parties, parties that are ready to tackle the migration problem in Ireland(Ireland is the only English speaking country in the EU, with Brexit, Ireland will continue to be a very popular choice) and independent candidates should be the new choice for Ireland to go forward to tackle these urgent matters
Syria Coup D’état and Reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral
In an unexpected and swift turn of events rebels have expelled the long ruling Asaad regime and taken control of Damascus Syria. How this will effect Middle East tensions remains to be seen as Syria itself wasn’t actively involved in the Israeli- Iran conflict. Many questions remain unclear as to how this rebel group was able to so quickly oust the Asaad regime that was in power for some decades.
On another note, many leading world figures were present in Paris for the re-opening of Notre-Dame cathedral. It is likely that the Russo- Ukrainian war was a topic of discussion as it was a central running theme of the Trump Presidency that he would swiftly bring an end to the conflict.
