Over 600 firefighters are battling to contain devastating flames that have devoured over 25,000 hectares in northern Spain โ with hundreds of citizens evacuated and over 70 species endangered.
The Sierra de la Culebra Mountain range is home to a resurgent Iberian wolf population and some of the richest biodiversity in Europe, but it is under a threat of โbrutal proportionsโ according to one environmentalist.
Eight of the countryโs 17 regions have been affected - Catalonia was struck by 30 wildfires Saturday - due to the intense heat, while across the border in France record high temperatures hit 42.9ยฐC in Biarritz.

Germany Resorts to Coal in Effort to Wean Itself Off Gas
German will reopen closed-down coal power plants using emergency laws and offer $15bn in credit to gas suppliers to stock up for winter, Economy Minister Robert Habeck has announced.
Habeck says it is โpainful, but it is a sheer necessity. If we donโt do it, then we run the risk that the storage facilities will not be full enough at the end of the year towards the winter season. And then we are blackmailable on a political level.โ
Emergency gas plans would allow utility companies to pass on higher costs to consumers to dampen demand, or for the government to control energy and ration it to households.
Carbon Zero chance of this ending well for the people.

Ukraine Will โFight with Shovelsโ if Denied Western Arms โ FM Kuleba
Ukraine will continue fighting against Russia even if it has no weapons whatsoever, so the West should speed up its shipments of arms to Kiev or be responsible for the deaths of its troops, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said Sunday to German media.
โIf we donโt get weapons, fine. Then we will fight with shovels. But we will keep defending ourselves because this is a war for our existence,โ Kuleba was quoted as saying in an interview with the public broadcaster ARD.
Kuleba added that Russian artillery outgunned Ukraineโs in Donbass 15 to 1, echoing statements that several senior Ukrainian officials have made lately. Kiev cannot win with such an imbalance of power, the foreign minister said.

Russia Should Wait for US to โCome Crawling Backโ โ Former President
The US would perceive Russian attempts to negotiate a prolongation of the New START nuclear treaty as a sign of weakness, so no talks should take place unless Washington changes its behavior, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev argued Monday.
โLet them come or crawl and beg for it. And they should value it as an act of utmost generosity,โ he added. โOtherwise, this is how it looks: they toss only sleaze our way, and we go, there, have this nuclear deal, please.โ
Medvedev, who serves as deputy chair of the Russian National Security Council, argued that the US-Russian conflict had reached a โdead zoneโ point where talking even about arrangements that both parties find beneficial would be counterproductive.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and alternate PM Yair Lapid have officially concluded their doomed efforts to stabilize the troubled governing coalition.

Europeโs future looks bleak. It is now pressed by its own imposition of sanctions, and the resultant spike in commodity prices. The EU is lumbering around in a daze.
Western self-destruction โ a puzzle defying any unique causal explanation โ continues. The examples where policy is pursued in apparent indifference to anything resembling rigorous reflection, has become so extreme as to provoke a former British military chief (and former head of NATO forces in Afghanistan), Lord Richards, to huff that the relationship between strategy and any synchronisation of ends has become hopelessly broken in the West.
The West pursues a โletโs see how it goesโ โstrategyโ, or in other words, no real strategy at all, Richards contends. Many would say that a cult of unrelenting, untethered, positive spin, has asphyxiated mainstream critical faculties. How is it that the West, awash with โthink-tanksโ, invariably gets it so wrong? Why is it that facile memes and illusions, posing as geo-politics, get little or no challenge? Compliance to official and mainstream narratives is all. It is baffling to observe this becoming routine, without apparent cognizance of the risks which this entails.
The key epicentre to todayโs spiking geo-political instability is the state of the western economy: So complacent have the authorities been โ that inflation would never ruffle the waters of the reserve-currency-based U.S. economy โ that cyclical recession was assumed to have been โeradicatedโ; it would never sully the consumer (electoral) sphere again, thanks to a money printing โvaccineโ; and anyway, ballooning debt โdoes not matterโ.
This facile view assumed that โreserve statusโ in, and of, itself eradicated inflation โ whereas to the outside world, it was always the petrodollar system compelling the entire world to purchase dollars to finance their needs; it was the flood of cheap Chinese consumer goods; and it was the cheap energy sources made available to western industry by Russia and Gulf States, that kept inflation at bay.
Western government spending โshot the moonโ in the wake of 2008 crisis, and simply exploded during Covid lockdowns, and then โ in an episode of impaired geo-strategic vision โ those cheap energy and other vital resources underpinning economic productivity were heedlessly sanctioned, and even threatened with a ban.
Rose-tinted wearers of Energy Transition spectacles simply refused to acknowledge that an EROI (energy return on energy invested โ to extract that given energy) of greater than a multiple of 7 is required for modern society to function.
We now observe the consequences: Rampant inflation, and the West scrambling around the world looking for cheap alternatives that wonโt โbreak the bankโ. Alas, they are scant. What is the geo-political implication? In a word, extreme systemic fragility. This has already wholly upended U.S. domestic politics. Yet, neither interest rate hikes, nor demand destruction (by crashing asset values) will cure structural inflation. Western economists remain obsessed with monetary effects on demand, at the expense of acknowledging the consequences of taking a trade-war hammer to a complex network system.
The social pain will be immense. Already many Americans are having to buy their food on near maxed-out credit cards, and this will only worsen. Yet the dilemma is deeper. The โAngloโ economic model of Adam Smith and Maynard Keynes โ the system of debt-fuelled consumption, over-lay...
