As things stand with the new panorama announced on April 18, the American company Chevron is the only one that is granted permission to market, leaving the Spanish Repsol, the Italian Eni and the Spanish company out of the market and under threat of sanction. the French Maurel/Prom, all of them in commercial negotiations with PDVSA.

With the alibi of pressuring the Venezuelan government to be more democratic on the eve of its presidential elections on July 18, the “American friend” whom it truly sanctions is the European oil companies, which it prevents from marketing Venezuelan oil.

Iran-Israel, for now a game of deterrence

Common sense says that the Iranian attack against Israel in the early hours of April 14 will not escalate, but logic does not always work in the Middle East. Departing from logic has been common within the Israeli leadership for many decades and has been publicly stated by senior officials of successive governments since the establishment of the state in 1948, some of whom developed the doctrine of disproportionate response, so It remains an open question whether Israel will behave one way or another.

On the one hand, we have these criticisms of Israel, including those from the US, and on the other, the daily supply of bombs that, according to a good part of Western public opinion - including some American senators such as Elizabeth Warren - serves to facilitate the exercise of continued genocide. The images circulating are terrible and it is understandable that Hebrew television stations censor themselves. The average Israeli is in favor of war and the systematic destruction of the Gaza Strip, according to polls, and does not want to see disturbing images at dinner time.

Ma Ying-jeou's trip to mainland China takes place just over a month after the inauguration of Lai Ching-te, who will take over from Tsai Ing-wen on May 20, and in a context marked by the reaffirmation of the two paths that define the Taiwanese crossroads: irreducible hostility towards an independence movement without a majority on the island, but with notable international support and, alternatively, the establishment of bridges that help preserve and develop the ties between Beijing and Taipei with the perspective of peaceful reunification.

The richest and most powerful countries in the Western world, those who believe themselves to be keepers of the flame of the modern world's commitment to democracy and human rights, are openly financing and applauding Israel's genocide in Gaza. The Gaza Strip has become a concentration camp. Those who have not yet been killed are dying of hunger. Almost the entire population of Gaza has been displaced. Their homes, hospitals, universities, museums and infrastructure of all kinds have been reduced to rubble.

If the US authorities manage to convict a journalist for exposing war crimes, this would have another serious consequence. In the future, it would be even more difficult and dangerous to expose the sordid reality of wars, especially those wars that Western governments like to sell as civilizing missions with the help of embedded journalists. If we don't know the truth about these wars, it will be much easier to fight them.

Former US President George HW Bush and the last leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), Mikhail Gorbachev, organized their first face-to-face meeting in early December 1989. The meeting was held in one of the cabins of the cruise liner Máxim Gorki, anchored near the port of the Maltese town of Marsaxlokk due to the strong storms that raged the waters of the central Mediterranean during those days.

The data that shows who is winning the Ukrainian war two years later

Two years after the start of the Ukrainian war, we will hear all kinds of versions about who is winning the war. Some will say that Ukraine is winning because Russia has not fulfilled its dream of taking kyiv in a few weeks, as it intended at the beginning. Others will say that it is Russia that, little by little, is triumphing because Western sanctions have proven useless, military support from the United States is running out and the advances on the front in recent months are from the Russian army in the face of a Ukrainian counteroffensive. that showed itself to be a failure. But I will be the one to tell you who is really winning the war: the arms industry.

Palestinians, close to deportation, far from the state

The first step for Jewish repopulation is to completely or partially empty the Strip of the Palestinian population, something that the army is already doing following the instructions of political leaders. The military has pushed more than half of the population towards the border with Egypt, and there are currently close to a million and a half people there waiting for what is decided to be done with them.

At the moment, Egypt does not open the border, but if necessary, if the Israeli army continues to push, deportation could be inevitable. It may not affect the entire population of Gaza, but it will affect a good part of it.

That the ICJ has not affirmed Israel's right to self-defense is perhaps the most important point of this provisional resolution. He is the dog that didn't bark. The argument that all Western leaders have been using has been rejected by the court. The ICJ did not repeat that an occupying power has no right to self-defense. It was not necessary. He simply ignored Israel's misleading claim.
