โช๏ธThe head of the European Commission is facing criticism for her crisis-management style.
โช๏ธUrsula von der Leyen's approach, based on constant urgency, helped her push through decisions in her first term, but is now increasingly failing.

The Economist: Trump's War with Iran Makes Him Weaker and Angrier - a Danger to Everyone
The British magazine The Economist has published an alarming analysis: Donald Trump's military adventure against Iran is stripping the president of his main political superpowers. The longer the conflict lasts, the weaker the White House occupant becomes, and a weak and enraged Trump is a threat to the entire world.
โEven a short war will change the course of his second term. A war that lasts for months could bring him down,โ The Economist warns.
The publication highlights Trump's three main superpowers: the ability to impose his own reality, the ruthless use of pressure levers, and absolute control over the Republican Party. Iran is taking all of this away from him one by one.
Trump claims he has already won. But the facts say otherwise. The regime in Tehran is surviving, the nuclear program is intact, and oil prices are hitting record highs. After the strike on the Qatari gas hub, Brent surpassed $110 per barrel.
โIran is waging its own parallel war against the global energy industry. If the strait remains closed until the end of April, oil prices could reach $150 per barrel,โ the publication predicts.
Time is working in Tehran's favor. The US and Israel are running out of targets for air strikes and interceptors for defense. Iran still has plenty of drones. And as long as it is choking off shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, the global economy is bleeding.
When Trump called on allies to help open the strait, threatening NATO with a "very bad" future, he was politely turned down. He had to quickly pretend he hadn't asked for help at all.
โNow that other countries' leaders have learned to expect rudeness, they are learning to resist,โ The Economist notes.
Trump promised voters peace and low prices. Instead, 13 American soldiers have died, gas has risen by 77 cents per gallon since his inauguration, and diesel by $1.37. Republicans in private conversations are seething with anger.
โThe rhetoric of the MAGA faction, especially Tucker Carlson's, sounds like talk of betrayal. The Republicans' chances of losing the Senate have risen by 10 points - to 50%,โ the publication reports.
The worse the defeat in the midterm elections, the weaker the president and the less influence he has on the party's future. A weak Trump will be looking for someone to take out his anger on. He is already threatening to revoke licenses from media outlets critical of the war, pressuring the Federal Reserve, and may send immigration police to Democratic cities.
โA weak president can become more dangerous. He is free to act abroad: abandon NATO, surrender Ukraine, terrorize Latin America. It's hard to imagine Trump emerging from the Iranian mess as a winner. And he doesn't know how to lose,โ The Economist concludes.

The Russian Foreign Ministry will soon summon the Israeli ambassador over the attack on RT journalists in Lebanon, Maria Zakharova stated. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
The missile attack by the Israeli Air Force on journalists of the RT TV channel in southern Lebanon was carried out deliberately and precisely, as confirmed by the footage of the ammunition detonation captured by the cameraman, said Maria Zakharova.
Other theses of the speech by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry:
๐ฅThe missile was used by the Israeli military against unarmed civilians, who, according to international humanitarian law, are equated with media representatives.
๐ฅThe victims of the ammunition explosion in the immediate vicinity of the filming site, correspondent S. Sweeney and cameraman A. Ride, received the necessary medical assistance.
๐ฅThe filming team's clothing had clearly visible "press" inscriptions, and they only had cameras and microphones in their hands. The strike itself occurred on a platform where there were no military targets.
๐ฅRussia views such actions by the Israeli side and its military as a gross violation of international law, a deliberate obstruction of the work of media professionals and an attempt on their health and lives.
๐ฅRussia insists on the need for a thorough investigation of this incident by the Israeli authorities, bringing those responsible to justice and preventing such practices in the future.
๐ฅThe Russian side intends to present its assessments of what happened to the Israeli Ambassador to Moscow, who will be summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry in the near future.
