#IRELAND - Immigrant vs Irishman: The Immigration #Crisis at #Crooksling Revealed
... in essence, the meetings between #Starmer, #Macron and #Scholz are a communication between three leaders whose governments are in a state of deep #crisis. And these men, doubting nothing, tell the public how they are "determined" to continue confronting Russia and supporting Ukraine! Many analysts are even trying to portray their meeting as the preparation of an "alternative NATO" to fight Russia alone in the event that Donald Trump wins in the USA and the latter withdraws from solving Kiev's problems.

#Nato: From #ColdWar to #Ukraine, a #History of the World’s Most Powerful #Alliance

In 1998, John Lewis Gaddis bemoaned that the decision to admit #Poland, #Hungary and the #Czech Republic was taken with almost no public debate and that ‘with remarkably few exceptions’ historians saw it as ‘ill-conceived, ill-timed and above all ill-suited to the realities of the post-Cold War world’. Enlargement violated the principle of magnanimity in victory, and risked driving #Russia to forge an anti-hegemonic alliance with #China.
....
#Military spending by European states has increased by more than 60 per cent since 2014. Yet G7 meetings are still surpassingly easy for US diplomats to run. Nato is both stronger than ever and just as unsuited to averting the next world #crisis.

The #helium #supply #crisis
The latest helium supply crisis, dubbed Helium #Shortage 4.0, originated in 2022 after 16 years of recurring shortages. A series of unanticipated events such as explosions, fires and outages impacted recovery of the market following the launch of #Gazprom’s Amur #facility.
Slow the growth, save the world? Why declining birth rates need not mean an end to prosperity
A good read about the so-called #fertility #crisis and the question of shrinking #population. Selected quote:
A University of Queensland economist, Prof, John Quiggin, says the whole fertility crisis is “bogus” – and not just because policies to address it appear to be universally failing.
“Economically, the cost of raising children is much higher than the cost of looking after old people,” he says.
But that cost is born by parents, so in a sense they’re giving “a free gift to society”.
“The odds are you’ll be in reasonable shape until about six months before you die at which point you’ll need about the same care as a baby,” he says. “So raising a baby to look after an old person makes no sense.”
Sandra Kanck, a former Democrats senator and national secretary of Sustainable Population Australia, agrees. “The cost of raising a child is way more than the cost of putting someone in aged care,” she says, adding that having more children puts more pressure on the planet.
“So the resources we think are available to us are not available to our children,” she says. “It’s contributing to climate change and creating greater instability.”
As for fears about an ageing population, she says, these are based on flawed assumptions. “Like that everyone over 70 is basically senile, and that all the baby boomers will end up in aged care,” she says.
“Most of them are making an incredible contribution. Many are still in the workforce … and those who have retired are operating a free babysitting service for their grandchildren.”

fewer people are seeing a #life in news as a worthwhile #career. This reflects a broader #problem — namely, the ways that relentless economic pressures are pushing people away from socially important careers.

#Migrant #Crisis: Has #Ireland’s #Kindness Been #Exploited? 🇮🇪
Meanwhile, in the ongoing story of 'breaking news a breaking New York Times...'
Seriously... (AKA "no joke!")
Why is this breaking news? Wouldn't it be actual "news" worth breaking IF Biden announced he was elevating Kamala?
THIS, that Biden is the Dem candidate.... Is this "all the news that's fit to print?", or something else. A bit antsy, are we, NYT?
#media #bias #NYTimes #journalism #frenzy #truth #horserace #Crisis "If it bleeds, it leads", a lot of people say....
