Many other allied countries are concerned, who heard about the 40+ deaths in Kenya for example ? An easy comparison with the HK riots who killed none but were abundantly supported. Or that we'll be currently talking about the pro-EU manifestations in Georgia or Romania, but never about the anti-n.a.t.o. or anti-e.u., unless in a negative way, it's not a question of geography but of political allegiance.

(Kinda )Unrelated bonus :

And, beyond not believing in the legitimacy of bourgeois "democracies", socialist countries with local democracy and only one political party do so in order to counter the $30 billions of USAID and the tens of billions of other agencies, who'd unfairly finance the opponents.

This sounds like a warning. US embassies will probably be on the list, though I think a more direct warning to civilians will be made before they actually strike.

Translation of article:

Nicaragua has implemented a foreign policy based on mutual respect with all countries.

The reform of the Nicaraguan Constitution modernizes this legal instrument, adapting it to the current challenges and needs of the country, and reaffirming that power is in the hands of the people.

According to political analyst William Grigsby Vado, this reform culminates the process of dissolution of the bourgeois State, whose maximum exponent was the Somoza dictatorship, and which subsequently evolved into a complex amalgam of popular and bourgeois interests.

The new Magna Carta must reflect, in the first place, the dynamic and constantly evolving nature of the Nicaraguan State, rejecting any static or fossilized vision.

Secondly, it must enshrine the exercise of popular power through direct democracy, manifested in the co-presidency of the Republic and in the state bodies coordinated by the presidency.

This Constitution reaffirms Nicaragua's commitment to peace and international law, rejecting all forms of aggression or military, political or economic intervention, and firmly opposing interference in the internal affairs of other States.

The Magna Carta of the Central American country also promotes the sovereignty and self-determination of nations.

A fundamental aspect of this reform is the recognition and protection of the rights of the peoples of the Nicaraguan coasts, a historical claim defended only by the Sandinista revolution.

Biden and other officials in his Administration, meanwhile, are looking at the calendar and trying to figure out what they can still offer Ukraine. Besides the policy shift on long-range strikes, the Administration will also now ship anti-personnel mines to Ukraine. “It really matters to him how he leaves Ukraine,” the Biden Administration official said of the President. “It’s a fundamental part of his legacy.” Kofman told me, “This looks to be the time when the Biden Administration will take a host of actions it had previously resisted so as to try and avoid handing over the war in a trajectory of terminal decline.” Kofman compared the flurry of activity to a “person pushing all the buttons on the elevator and then getting out on their floor.”

At least 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers died during the war with Russia, and another 400,000 were seriously wounded and can no longer fight

These figures only take into account military losses. The publication studied various sources in order to try to establish the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which are not officially disclosed.

Recall that Zelensky said in February that 30 thousand Ukrainian soldiers died at the front.

All those reports of troop shortages even after resorting to kidnapping men from the streets. Pretty clear indication losses are very high.

The idea of direct Western participation in the conflict is reportedly back on the table, according to the newspaper

The UK and France have “reactivated” talks on sending troops to Ukraine, French newspaper Le Monde reported on Monday. The idea has already caused a rift among European NATO members.

Back in February, French President Emmanuel Macron caused controversy by declaring his willingness to send ground troops to Ukraine “to prevent Russia from winning this war.” The statement was quickly disavowed by NATO officials, while German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told reporters that Ukraine’s Western backers were “unanimous” in their opposition to the idea.

The plan was seemingly shelved, Le Monde has reported, until British Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited Paris earlier this month. Citing anonymous sources, the French newspaper claimed that talks on a possible Franco-British deployment to Ukraine were “reactivated” by Starmer and Macron.

No further information was provided, and Le Monde speculated that this deployment could range from both nations sending private-sector technicians to repair military equipment (as Britain already does), to private military contractors (as Russia insists that France does), to flag-wearing personnel on the ground, either on the front line or to enforce an eventual ceasefire and peace deal.
