Federico Albano wrote that at the Singapore GP, a new phase of dominance for Max Verstappen and Red Bull had begun. According to him, the RB22 had become more predictable after stabilizing its aerodynamics, and Verstappen had continued to perform at his best. Albano attributed the competitiveness of the car also to the low-end power of the RB-Ford PU, low drag, and the Dutch driver's tire management. Albano considered Ferrari's weekend positive, stating that they were only second to Verstappen. He wrote that Charles Leclerc had almost overtaken the Dutchman at the start, but the Ferrari had bounced after going off the curb at the pit lane exit, causing him to lose the necessary margin for a more decisive attack. According to Albano, the rear-limited characteristics of the circuit highlighted the weakness of the SF26's rear, explaining both the extreme setup chosen for Leclerc in the Sprint and the difficulties in preserving the tires during the race. He added that the updates expected for Austin would indicate the direction Ferrari was taking. Regarding Lewis Hamilton, Albano wrote that the driver could have achieved third place with a double pit stop, but chose to stay on track, perhaps to attempt to overtake Leclerc. He praised his apologies and described the potential double podium for Ferrari as a missed opportunity, which would have brought points in the Constructors' Championship; he also noted that Hamilton had finished sixth after a weekend where, in his opinion, he had been in great form. Albano also congratulated Kimi Antonelli for the podium and criticized Lando Norris's lack of responsiveness. However, he argued that Mercedes still had a weak front end and that, despite the characteristics of the circuit and the updated PU, they had only achieved the result of the third force. He concluded by indicating Austin as an important appointment for Mercedes and Ferrari, while Verstappen, according to him, would continue to aim for dominance in the final phase of the season. #Formula1 #SingaporeGP #Verstappen (translated)

Tea Jedlovcnik advised Esih not to bother with further writing, as in his opinion nothing written would change the situation. He noted that the biggest problems were within Esih's own ranks, while also criticizing the supporters of non-governmental organizations. He believed that the political side to which he directed his accusations was not doing well and was acting pathetically. He added that the right wing had much more material for criticism in his opinion. Among other things, he mentioned leftists whom he described with a derogatory term, the brides in handcuffs who were supposed to be suffering abuses in Romanian prisons, and the upcoming parties of GEN-I. The opposing side was said to have only Stevanović, who according to Jedlovcnik was doing well compared to UKZ. In the end, he suggested to Esih to rather write about botany and cuisine. #politika #javnoopinion #kritika (translated)

Arthur Machado stated that what was happening in France was part of a project to weaken national sovereignties across Europe. According to him, after the Great Depression of 1929, neoliberals would have advocated for the end of nations as a way to reduce instability, transferring economic decisions to a global structure and leaving political and social management to the states. Machado said that tariffs bothered globalists because they presupposed borders and economic sovereignty. He also linked the proposal by Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan to strengthen Europe economically and militarily to Mario Draghi's plan, which he claimed sought to centralize European economic, financial, and military power. The author stated that the goal would be to transform Europe into a state, with an integrated financial system, army, common institutions, and centralized power, reducing the full sovereignty of France, Germany, and other countries. He attributed this project to liberals and described it as a transfer of power from nations to supranational structures. #França #Globalismo #SoberaniaNacional (translated)

Former Undersecretary of State Michele Geraci stated that Italy had followed Donald Trump's invitation not to purchase Russian gas and oil and had approved sanctions against Moscow. He claimed that Mario Draghi had anticipated peace without gas and that the measures had put pressure on the German and Italian economies. Geraci added that Trump had then lifted the sanctions on Russia and partially resumed purchases of Russian energy, leaving Italy at a disadvantage. According to him, the outcome had been predictable for four years and was due to the total incompetence of the Italian government. #Trump #Russia #Energia (translated)

Joan Larroumec presented the tensions between France and Germany as a result of increasing competition, particularly in the defense industry. He indicated that Berlin planned military spending of €108 billion in 2026, compared to €57 billion for Paris, and nearly €140 billion in 2027. According to him, Germany was seeking to use these expenditures as a lever for economic transformation, while its historical industrial model was weakened. Larroumec notably cited the decline in German exports to China, which he claimed fell from €106 billion in 2022 to €81 billion in 2025, as well as a reduction of 142,400 jobs in the German automotive industry since 2019. He also wrote that German defense start-ups had received $3.5 billion in investments in 2026, compared to $375 million in France, and that Berlin had concluded a framework agreement with Helsing and Stark that could reach €4.3 billion. He estimated that this strategy heightened rivalries between the two countries and jeopardized their joint programs. He reported that Paris and Berlin acknowledged on June 8 that the SCAF could not be successfully executed, and that the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces announced Germany's abandonment of the MGCS tank program. He also mentioned competition in drones, artificial intelligence, and space, where, according to him, Germany was seeking to reduce France's position. Finally, Larroumec argued that France's financial difficulties limited its ability to invest in defense and risked weakening its industry. He stated that French and German interests were becoming increasingly misaligned and that this situation could lead to chaotic episodes in Europe. #France #Allemagne #Défense (translated)

Julien De Wit wrote that a colleague had posted his testimony on LinkedIn and that he found it worth sharing. The self-employed individual mentioned that he had received chemotherapy with Taxotere and Cyclophosphamide three years earlier, followed by radiotherapy. A month after his last radiation treatment, he had returned to work, although his supervising doctor thought it was too soon according to him. He had quickly reduced his replacement income of about 40 euros per day. The colleague wrote that he worked as a self-employed individual without staff through a company and had no fixed salary, paid sick leave, or vacation pay. If he was sick or took a holiday, he earned nothing. With a full schedule ahead, he was afraid of getting sick this month, he wrote. He opposed what he considered to be negative perceptions of self-employed individuals with a management company and called for respect for the risks they themselves bore. https://t.co/JNrZ60Kq3n #zelfstandigen #ondernemen #respect (translated)
