Vojtěch Gibiš wrote that Zelensky confirmed Russian attacks on power plants in Kyiv and Kharkiv after Trump's announcement of an immediate energy ceasefire. He added that, in his opinion, it will be difficult for historians to determine in the future whether Putin or Trump lied more. #Zelenskyj #Rusko #Ukrajina (translated)

No axis of good or evil divides the world of jurist and author Philippe Sands in two. Previously, the Austrian historian Mirjam Zadoff, director of the NS Documentation Center in Munich, praised the clear stance of the award winner in her speech: "No axis of good or evil divides the world of jurist and author Philippe Sands in two." #PhilippeSands #Friedenspreis #Völkerrecht (translated)

This book has tremendous value for historians, but it is also interesting for me and other readers. It shows that if he had the time, Havel could have written great prose. It is in the tradition of Czech literature, if some of you are familiar with Jaroslav Hašek or Bohumil Hrabal, Topol mentions names that are repeatedly heard this Friday in Frankfurt. #Česko #ČeskáLiteratura #VáclavHavel (translated)

In the interview, historian Sergey Radchenko explains why the division in European society can be traced back to Russia and that the Russian-Chinese alliance will remain, while shedding light on Putin's misjudgment of the Ukrainian response and the dangers of polarization in Europe. #Putin #Ukraine #Russland (translated)

A Czech historian stated that the pope is a strong candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize for his clear message of peace during times of escalating conflicts in the Middle East and increased fear around the world, mentioning also the possibility that Caritas or a network of Sudanese organizations like Emergency Place could also receive the award. #Mír #NobelovaCena #Caritas (translated)

To demonstrate against 'fascists' on Tuesday and announce negotiations with the enemies of Israel on Thursday – it hardly gets more hypocritical. The renowned historian and expert on the DDR's injustice regime, Hubertus Knabe, told BILD: "To demonstrate against 'fascists' on Tuesday and announce negotiations with the enemies of Israel on Thursday – it hardly gets more hypocritical." #SPD #Linke #Politik (translated)

The third anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, again opens the debate about the nature of Israel's military response, and there is a growing alarming tilt towards anti-Semitism in Europe, with historian Lord Andrew Roberts emphasizing the need to separate criticism of Israeli policy from anti-Jewish hatred. #Izrael #Hamas #antisemitismus (translated)

Hans von der Burchard wrote that the German-French paper of the day marks a break with decades of German restraint towards China's unfair trade practices. At the same time, Europe, particularly Germany, has quickly replaced the US support for Ukraine after its withdrawal and is beginning to take more responsibility for security. The development is not yet complete, von der Burchard wrote. If the federal government maintains its course, withstands pressure from the right and left, and makes progress on social reforms, that would be a significant achievement. Merz will likely go down in history as the most unpopular chancellor, and there is much to criticize about him; however, looking back, historians may view his chancellorship more leniently. #Deutschland #Europa #Handelspraktiken (translated)

Wir konnten auch anders von Annette Kehnel Unser wirtschaftliches Denken – über Konsum, Kapital, Profit – stammt aus dem 19. und 20. Jahrhundert. Und ist unbrauchbar geworden. Wie die Historikerin Annette Kehnel anhand lebendig erzählter Beispiele deutlich macht: Ein Blick auf die vormoderne Geschichte der Menschheit offenbart Anregungen für unsere Zukunft jenseits von Gewinnstreben und Eigennutz. Renaissance-Architekten, die Baustoffrecycling betrieben, Crowdfunding für die Brücke in Avignon, nachhaltige Fischerei am Bodensee, Second-hand-Märkte in Paris und Reparaturberufe in Frankfurt in Zeiten, als Kreislaufwirtschaft eine Selbstverständlichkeit war. Teilen, tauschen und nachhaltig handeln: Eine Reise in unsere Vergangenheit, die Lust auf Veränderung macht.

The basement of Norwegian diplomats can provide new insights into the Oslo Agreement of 1993, after documents that historian Hilde Henriksen Waage has long requested have been found during the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, which involves Mona Juul and Terje Rød-Larsen. #Osloavtalet #Norge #Mellanöstern (translated)

"All these Orangemen considered colonial warfare and the violent suppression of uprisings to be inevitable and justified." There were also no objections to human trafficking and slavery, said the leading historian Gert Oostindie. #Kolonialismus #NiederländischesKönigshaus #Sklaverei (translated)

Historian Adam Raz, however, in his book The Thirty Years' War: Benjamin Netanyahu vs. Israel analyzes this event based on memories, eyewitness statements, and written evidence from that time and presents a compelling argument that everything was planned - that its inevitable consequences from a diplomatic-security perspective were precisely what Netanyahu wanted. #Izrael #Netanjahu #Mír (translated)

The name everyone should remember. He is known as the reckless driver from Aarhus and previously stated in 2021: "I drive very recklessly myself. I am known as a reckless driver around here. I run red lights all the time." He seems almost proud. He should be ashamed. On June 18, 2021, he hit police officer Stefan Nymann at over 80 km/h and disabled him for life. Stefan was thrown into the air, went into a coma, and was in life-threatening condition. Mohamad left him on the road and was wanted for two days. Stefan suffered around 50 brain hemorrhages, serious lung damage, a hip fracture, and damaged nerves in his brain. Today he is brain damaged, partially paralyzed, and sitting in a wheelchair. He has impaired vision, severe speech problems, and primarily receives food through a feeding tube. In court, the shameless Mohamad pleaded not guilty. In June 2022, he received four years in prison for ruining Stefan's life. During his sentence, he received another sentence of eight months for, among other things, violence, threats, and deprivation of liberty. Nevertheless, he was released on probation in 2024. Completely crazy with that history. And it turned out to be a huge mistake. Just six months later, he committed an attempted robbery along with three other men. Armed with an axe, tear gas, and a crowbar, they approached a 21-year-old man and demanded 200,000 kr. If he did not pay in cash, he would "pay with blood." When he refused, they abducted him. The abduction was stopped two hours later when the police halted the vehicle. The Western High Court has just increased Mohamad's sentence from two years to two years and six months. Now you’re probably thinking: Isn’t he going to be deported? No. Mohamad Tarek Younes was born in Denmark and has Danish citizenship. He likely got it as a secondary person when his father was granted our Danish citizenship in 2001. What a gain for Denmark. #vanvidsbilist #retssystemet #kriminalitet (translated)

@jan_leidecker Zustimmung zur ersten Hälfte. Das sage ich ja selbst immer. Zur zweiten Hälfte: Naja. So zu argumentieren, ist immer problematisch. Das wissen doch gerade Sie als Historiker. Ich werde bestimmt nicht die deutsche Schuld relativieren, aber die internationale Politik in den #Geschichte #Politik #Meinung #DE

„Od 80. let se z republikánů stali velcí utráceči, stejně jako z demokratů. A v americké politice nemůžete zvyšovat daně, ale zároveň nemůžete snižovat vládní výdaje.“V rozhovoru pro podcast PFI Talks, který vzniká ve spolupráci se Seznam Zprávami, to tvrdí finanční historik Richard Sylla, který je emeritním profesorem na New York University a bývalým prezidentem Economic History Association. #dluh #ekonomika #inflace

Finanční historik Richard Sylla varuje, že rostoucí veřejný dluh USA, který přesáhl 40 bilionů dolarů, představuje hrozbu pro stabilitu veřejných financí a stát, zatímco se politické rozdělení mezi utrácejícími demokraty a fiskálně zodpovědnými republikány vytrácí a mandatorní výdaje, jako jsou programy sociálního a zdravotního pojištění, způsobují významné rozpočtové deficity. #dluh #ekonomika #inflace

Många som är upprörda över nedan, jag har tagit del av domen och är inte imponerad över att skälen för att man inte utvisar är i princip två meningar, och inte tar hänsyn till senaste praxis på området. Bör ändras av hovrätten. Samtidigt är jag inte förvånad. En driftig journalist kan gräva i detta, det finns bl.a. en historik av missar och att somna vid huvudförhandling. #Rättsväsendet #Journalistik #Samhälle
