Qual è la soglia di reddito o di patrimonio dopo la quale ci si può meritare il famoso garantismo?

Ushakov adds that Western Europe must also be involved in Ukraine peace negotiations (this is a major shift in Kremlin positioning).
“After Anchorage, there was an impression that the American administration could dictate something and make Kiev comply, but so far, that hasn’t worked.”
“It’s not enough to talk only to Kiev, we need to talk to all of Europe, which fully supports Kiev, perhaps [Western] Europe’s position is of crucial importance here.”
Kremlin foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov has cautioned against expecting significant results from the first Russia-US-Ukraine meeting following the prolonged break in negotiations.
“You won’t resolve much at the first meeting, it will probably be more of an exploratory meeting,” he said.
Ushakov added that Moscow would be ready to resume talks after 4 November, while warning that considerable work remained before a peace agreement could be reached.

Ad un certo punto i loro padroncini riceveranno i soldi delle tasse dei lavoratori italiani e la chiuderanno qua. Come i forconi e altre rivolte manovrate.

our research team just came back from a research mission along a border region in an African country. They came across an elephant and park rangers warned them to keep at a distance. The elephant was locally known as “Putin”, given its inclination to charge and attack unprovoked.

Esatto: la causa è la perdita del controllo. Nominare la cospirazione permette di recuperare il controllo: è una scorciatoia sia psicologica - perché basterebbe sconfiggere i cospiratori per ripristinare lo status quo ante - sia politica perché dà forza alla propria parte.

A major achievement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2026 has been stabilizing the frontline, creating the conditions for localized counterattacks while inflicting relatively high rates of attrition on Russian forces. This has been enabled by a more flexible defensive posture under the new commander-in-chief. Unmanned warfare, including mid-range strike systems, has played an important role in all of this, helping degrade Russian combat power. Recent restrictions have reduced the effectiveness of a core element of Ukraine’s defense system. Unless this is resolved quickly, Ukraine risks losing hard-won gains from 2026, not to mention the impact on its cities and critical infrastructure.

NAZA has become an extraordinary box-office success in Meloni's Italy. It has grossed nearly €5 million, accounting for more than half of its worldwide earnings, after initially being scheduled for just three days in cinemas. It prompted distributors to extend its run, and it continued to outperform heavily promoted commercial releases. This happens in the same country whose government refuses to talk about sanctions and it's heavily pushing an illiberal law based on the IHRA definition. But what a difference with, say, Germany.

Un articolo di #UmbertoEco. Del 1991, ma potrebbe essere stato scritto stamattina, se invece di #guerra in Iraq si parlasse di #Ucraina e dei personaggi che ne sono protagonisti.

My friend Vlad Starodubtsev, a Ukrainian veteran and historian, was beaten up in Lviv today by a group of far-right thugs for trying to give a history lecture.
According to Social Movement, a Ukrainian democratic socialist organization, about 20 of them attacked him in broad daylight, just before the talk was supposed to start at the group's office near Lviv University. The lecture was on the history of the labor and socialist movement in Galicia.
This is an attack on the freedom of speech that journalists, academics and activists depend on. It's vital that attention be drawn to this issue so that authorities take appropriate action. If you are journalist reading this, please consider covering it, and following up with authorities.

"Civilian casualties in Ukraine jumped by 85% in September as Russia increased drone and missile attacks, according to the United Nations.
At least 328 civilians were killed and 2,105 injured in attacks last month, UN human rights monitors said in their monthly report on Friday. It was the highest September total since the start of Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion, with missiles and drones the main cause of casualties, they said."

Latest: Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone."
He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation... to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population."
He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory."
"They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this."
He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."

In light of the articles about Ukraine's Patriot shortage: Something that's important to understand about Ukraine's very limited supply of Patriot interceptors is that they run out almost every month by around mid month. This has been the case since early summer at least. But it happened on other occasions earlier, too. The US sends shipments of Pac-2 and Pac-3 interceptors to Kyiv in small batches, sometimes ~5-15 at a time, as they are produced. So we could write pretty much every month, 'Ukraine is out of Patriot missiles,' because after the first Russian attacks each month it's often the case.
Exclusive: Ukraine has run out of missiles for the US-made Patriot air defense system, leaving it more vulnerable to Russian ballistic missile attacks, a source familiar with the situation told CNN on Thursday.

In questa intervista del direttore del @ilmanifesto @andreafabozzi e nel dibattito iniziato da @franxstrax si può chiaramente vedere come elaborare una posizione unitaria di sinistra sull'Ucraina, per quanto complesso, non sia affatto impossibile.
I tentativi frequentissimi in questi quattro anni di trasformare la questione in una pregiudiziale verso il centro o verso la sinistra si rivelano così per quello che realmente sono: manovre di purissimo e piccolissimo cabotaggio politico che poco hanno a che fare con l'Ucraina e gli ucraini.
Un forte supporto all'Ucraina, anche militare, è inevitabile per il prossimo futuro dell'Italia e dell'Europa: per il bene degli ucraini e per la nostra stessa stabilità; così come sarà inevitabile mantenere una forte attenzione al futuro dell'Ucraina e ai suoi sviluppi politici, il che significa guardare quel che accade a Kyiv con occhio critico scegliendo bene gli interlocutori che vogliamo, ricordando ogni volta che, terminata la battaglia con i russi, i progressisti ucraini ne dovranno iniziarn una nuova con reazionari e conservatori.
Il riarmo, soprattutto per come impostato dalle attuali leadership europee, non va sovrapposto con la questione Ucraina; così come questa non va letta in una logica riduttivisticamente geopolitica e campista che proprio in queste ore sta mettendo in luce la cortezza del suo respiro.
C'è da dubitare della maturità politica di Conte così come di quella di gran parte dei leader centristi, ma possiamo sempre sperare in una pressione dal basso degli eletti e degli elettori, stanchi di uno scontro che puzza di ipocrisia a miglia di distanza, che li spinga ad adottare una posizione chiara, semplice, di sinistra, a favore degli ucraini e che sia allineata ai nostri interessi nazionali.

Parzialmente condivisibile. Quello che non condivido principalmente è la sottovalutazione della minaccia russa verso l’Europa e del fatto che dobbiamo essere pronti adesso non in un ipotetico futuro ad una possibile invasione militare russa di parti dell’Europa.

Sempre interessante leggere Davide (pur in possibili differenze di vedute) perché porta un pensiero informato e soprattutto non superficiale
Io consiglio a tutti di seguirlo anche (soprattutto) a chi ha dei punti di partenza (o di arrivo) differenti
