Donald Tusk’s coup d’état in Poland, supported by the E.U. Commission, is in line with the cancellation of the 2024 presidential election in Romania.
People still don’t get it. It’s not about left or right, nor is it about ideology or whom you support. It’s about democracy and the future we’re building through our decisions and involvement.
What makes the coup in Poland more significant is that it appears to be part of an operation to involve a N.A.T.O. country in a direct war with the Russian Federation.
I said that 2026 will be a more violent 1989, and the world will be completely reshaped. I’m not a prophet, but I’m no fool either.
What has happened so far in 2026?
The escalation of military confrontations has reshaped the international security environment.
The war involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, and the continuing Russia–Ukraine war, which may extend and involve the E.U., cause severe economic and social disruptions.
Most disturbingly, we discuss the billions of euros and dollars handed to Ukraine, yet keep the actual body count secret. Human life seems irrelevant.
Disruptions in the Middle East have affected oil and gas supplies, inflation, trade, and monetary policy. Printing money and increasing inflation are insane.
Tariffs, restrictions on strategic exports, defence spending, and artificial intelligence have remained important economic and political issues.
Elections, coups, referendums, protests, and changes of government have affected several countries.
Corruption and disinterest of the current politicians toward the people in both the E.U. and the United States.
The risk of a major AI crisis. Millions of people are losing their jobs as their work is replaced by AI. What are all those people and their families supposed to do?
More pandemics and wars, perhaps? While the rich get richer and the poor end up dead.
Relations among Washington, Beijing, and Moscow continue to shape the global balance of power, while Europe’s influence has diminished dramatically.
Economically, militarily and politically, Europe slowly fades into irrelevance.
Europe is in turmoil. Riots and protests have affected Albania, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Poland.
November is going to be tense.
On November 5, a nationwide strike is expected in France, affecting transport and public services.
On November 11, a general strike is called by trade unions in Spain, and coordinated demonstrations are proposed in Portugal.
On November 20, a nationwide general strike is announced in Italy.
These protests have different organisers, political orientations and immediate objectives. Most worryingly, they can be hijacked by other interested parties and often are.
Housing, wages, employment insecurity and the rising cost of living are connecting groups that traditionally organise separately: students, workers, pensioners and young professionals.
In several countries, protesters are expressing dissatisfaction not only with individual policies but also with the ability of political institutions to respond to everyday economic problems.
The expansion of defence budgets, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the economic consequences of geopolitical confrontation have sparked debate over the allocation of public resources.
Is war the answer to all our problems?
The United States is also falling apart. I don’t think either the Republicans or the Democrats have answers for the current issues. I’m afraid nobody does, or if they do, they don’t want to get their hands dirty – only their pockets full.
You should ask yourself whose interests these puppets are working for because if they don’t do it for their people, it’s quite obvious.
What troubles me the most is that we keep on talking about money and costs, but never about the people. What a screwed-up species we are! Blame the Russians if that makes you feel better!
