Buen texto sobre Orban y la paradoja de que su nacionalismo ultra termine dentro de una internacional ultra
www.equator.org/articles/the...
Entretien très intéressant sur les raisons de la chute d'Orbán. Le génie tactique du petit État européen qui joue les grandes puissances l'une contre l'autre exige de s'internationaliser, et c'est en devenant lui-même un "mondialiste" qu'il s'est coupé de sa base.

"Hormuz does not yet signal the end of this hydrocarbon dollar complex, which has always been a combustible mix of power and volatility. But it does reveal the structural changes that would be needed for a hegemonic transition."
Drop everything you are doing! And read this really interesting piece by @mona-ali.bsky.social www.equator.org/articles/the...
