When the world's de facto "sheriff" for the past 80 years steps down, does that return us to a lawlessness like that of the 1800s Wild West, where every town had to find its own lawman?

 

United States President Donald Trump has threatened to hold Iran responsible for any attacks carried out by the Houthi rebels in Yemen, in an escalation of his pressure campaign against the government in Tehran.

The Republican leader issued the warning on his social media platform Truth Social on Monday, signing the post with his name.

 

Toronto is no longer providing financial incentives for Tesla vehicles purchased as taxis or ride shares due to trade tensions with the United States, the city's mayor, Olivia Chow, said on Monday.

 

Trump has hinted that the US and Russia are already discussing how to divide "assets" in Ukraine, sparking concerns that he may sacrifice Kyiv's interests in a deal with Putin.

The talks have raised concerns among Ukrainian and European officials that Trump may offer concessions to Russia without Ukraine's consent, potentially weakening Ukraine's position and security.

 

"Those who buy Patriots, we must offer them the new-generation Franco-Italian SAMP/T," Macron told French media on Sunday. "Those who buy the F-35, we must offer them the Rafale."

 

One of the key architects of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 project says he’d gladly join his compatriots in the Trump administration—even after he was pushed out of his role over widespread public backlash to the controversial conservative agenda.

 

A year ago, Paul Dans was chief architect of what was shaping up to be the blueprint for Donald Trump’s second term. Eight months ago, he was sent into MAGA exile.

 

"Ukraine is sovereign. If it asks for allied forces to be on its territory, it's not something for Russia to accept or not," Macron said in a joint interview with several French regional newspapers published late on Saturday.

 

Organisers said the pro-Europe rally, which filled Rome’s central Piazza del Popolo with at least 30,000 people, reunited Italians on different sides and voting for opposite parties “in the name of democracy”.

 

Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets of Belgrade today as a wave of demonstrations against Serbia’s powerful president, Aleksandar Vučić, enters its fourth month.

 

Italy has installed Starlink antennas in four embassies around the world to test their functionality, but has not signed a national security contract with Elon Musk's company, a minister said on Thursday.

 

The federal government’s debiting $80.5 million from New York City’s bank account suggests yes

Can Debian not be added here? Linux Mint is based on Debian, and no company owns Debian.

Just asked Mistral Le Chat about this, here's the reply:

*"There is evidence suggesting that Northvolt, the Swedish battery manufacturer, faced significant issues with the machinery supplied by Chinese companies. According to various sources, Northvolt relied heavily on Chinese machinery and personnel to operate it. This reliance led to several problems, including incomplete documentation for the equipment, which made it difficult for Northvolt to operate the machinery effectively without the direct involvement of Chinese technicians.

Additionally, there were speculations about potential sabotage, as certain components within the machinery appeared to be remotely controllable, and there were allegations of defective equipment provided by the Chinese supplier Wuxi Lead. These issues, combined with Northvolt's internal management problems and rapid expansion, contributed to the company's financial struggles and eventual bankruptcy filing."*

Key points:

  1. Shares of French satellite operator Eutelsat skyrocketed almost 390% last week.
  2. Eutelsat shares continued to climb Monday, jumping more than 22%.
  3. The gains follows speculation that Eutelsat could replace Elon Musk’s Starlink in Ukraine.
