Aliança previsivel - Chile & EUA

A aliança entre Chile e EUA não surpreende. Na configuração geopolitica regional o Chile sempre teve um papel conservador, aliando-se a Inglaterra no século XIX, exercendo contraponto ao expansionismo argentino e supremacia em relação a Bolívia e Peru. No século XX e XXI os EUA passam a exercer a liderança e o Chile natualmente passa a assinar tratados bilaterais de comércio, exceção a política economica do bloco regional, e construção de bases militares para compensar a perda de bases no Equador e a mudança de tom na política colombiana relativa ao combate as drogas no continente.

Inferno Pós-moderno do dia-a-dia: o impraticável compulsório

Enquanto o governo empurra carros para a população, a infra-estrutura só piora e as famílias estão cada vez mais endividadas. O sonho de ter um carro, no melhor dos casos se transforma em horas dentro do carro, ao lado de caminhões, em cima de buracos, gastos abusivos com combustível, e seguro e impostos caros para não ter qualquer retorno.  Isso quando os juros abusivos e a falta de capacidade de administrar gastos numa sociedade que encoraja o consumo e sobretudo os pagamentos a prazo geram a consequencia mais comum: inadimplencia e a perda do carro. Resta apenas a dívida, e a opção de voltar a frequentar o transporte público.

Ahmadinejad vs. Israel

איראן רומזת: אם נותקף - נפגע בכור בדימונה

יועצו הצבאי של חמינאי אמר כי אם איראן תותקף על-ידי ארה"ב או ישראל, היא תגיב "בצורה חכמה ותגרום נזק בתחום שבו נפגעה". עם זאת, הוא העריך כי הסיכויים לתקיפת מתקני הגרעין נמוכה והזהיר: "מיליון איש יברחו מישראל אם תהיה מלחמה"

war on terror beyond Iraq and Afghanistan

THE AL-QAEDA CELLS:
The al-Qaeda has underground cells in dozens of countries.

• In the Arabian Peninsula the al-Qaeda covers Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It was formed in 2009 when militant groups from the two countries joined forces.
• In Iraq, al-Qaeda was formed in 2004, following the US invasion in 2003. It has been responsible for many attacks.
• In East Africa the al-Qaeda has had a long presence, carrying out attacks on the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
• The al-Shabab group in Somalia has been waging an insurgency against the fragile interim government since 2007 and formally became part of al-Qaeda earlier this year. It controls much of southern and central Somalia.
• The al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has been most active in Algeria, but it has spread across the Sahara Desert to Mali and Niger.
• The most well-known of al-Qaeda strongholds are the tribal areas of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Al-Qaeda had been co-operating with the Taliban and was given sanctuary in Afghanistan.
