🇷🇺☢️🇪🇺The Economist has published an article about the necessity by the West to maintain scientific relations with Russia despite the geopolitical tension.
"Europe's joint nuclear-fusion project needs Russian expertise,"

🔸The article highlights the ongoing, complex collaboration between Western and Russian scientists on the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) project.

🔸Continued Collaboration Amid Conflict: Despite the geopolitical tensions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the article notes that Russian and Western scientists continue to work together at ITER, though the pace has slowed.

🔸 Russia is a founding member of ITER and provides essential components that are difficult to replace, including poloidal field coils (giant magnets) and busbars for the reactor's electrical current.

🔸 While many scientific ties with Russia have been severed, ITER's unique international legal framework makes it nearly impossible to expel a member. However, sanctions have significantly slowed progress due to increased paperwork and logistical challenges in shipping components.

🔸The project, originally a Cold War-era "science diplomacy" initiative by Reagan and Gorbachev, now stands as one of the last remaining high-level scientific links between Russia and the West.

🇺🇸 Trump praises Palantir, the tech company founded by Peter Thiel and run by CEO Alex Karp—two men who read like literal Bond villains bent on ushering in a techno‑authoritarian world.

He is, in effect, praising AI‑driven targeting technology that has helped kill thousands of children in Gaza.

🇮🇷 BREAKING! Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:

Two of the measures mutually agreed upon between the parties have yet to be implemented: a ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of Iran’s blocked assets prior to the commencement of negotiations.

These two matters must be fulfilled before negotiations begin.

🇷🇺🛸💥🇺🇦 Zelensky, being the shyster he is, keeps selling "Ukrainian AD capabilities" to the GCC states.

But there is a nuance...

To Ukrainian mobile fire teams: if your radio isn’t calling “Volga,” you’re considered a priority target.

🇪🇸 In a post on X, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Netanyahu’s “contempt for life and international law is intolerable” in light of the attacks.

“It’s time to speak clearly: – Lebanon must be included in the ceasefire. – The international community must condemn this new violation of international law. – The European Union must suspend its Association Agreement with Israel. – And there must be no impunity for these criminal acts,” Sanchez said.

🇮🇹 Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said he spoke to the Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and expressed solidarity for the “unjustified and unacceptable attacks he is suffering from Israel.”

“We want to avoid there being a second Gaza. We will reiterate this concept to the Israeli Ambassador as well, whom I have summoned to the Farnesina. We condemn the bombings on the Lebanese civilian population, including the gunfire incidents suffered by our UNIFIL [UN Interim Force in Lebanon] troops, for which we continue to demand guarantees of total safety. We must absolutely avoid any further expansion of the conflict that would jeopardise the ceasefire in Iran and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz,” Tajani added.

🇺🇸💬🇮🇷 Yep, unhinged Trump:

We’re loading up the ships with the best ammunition, the best weapons ever made.

If we don’t have a deal, we will be using them — and we will be using them very effectively.

You’re dealing with people that we don’t know whether or not they tell the truth.

To our face, they’re getting rid of all nuclear weapons… and then they go out to the press and say, ‘No, we’d like to enrich.

🚢 Six weeks into the war, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed. Bloomberg vessel tracking data shows traffic collapsed from ~50 ships per day to near zero on February 28, and has barely recovered despite the ceasefire announcement. Most recent crossings are limited to Iran-linked vessels.

Normal daily traffic: ~135 ships. Current: near zero.
