Az elmúlt hetekben Moszkva körül tovább erősítették a légvédelmi gyűrűket nagyszabású átcsoportosításokkal az orosz régiókból, ami azt mutatja, hogy az orosz vezetés jobban aggódik a május 9-i moszkvai katonai parádéért, mint Oroszország többi részéért – jelentette ki Volodimir Zelenszkij ukrán elnök szerdán a közösségi médiában, miután meghallgatta Oleh Ivascsenko, a katonai hírszerzés vezetőjének jelentését.

Hozzátette, hogy Moszkvának ez a lépése újabb lehetőségeket nyit az ukrán hadseregnek a mélységi csapásmérésekre.

Zelenszkij közlése szerint a katonai hírszerzés munkájának köszönhetően „világos dokumentumok állnak Kijev rendelkezésére” arról, mit terveznek tenni az oroszok az ellenőrzésük alá vont ukrán területekkel.

„Jelenleg a megszállás alatt álló dél-ukrajnai területeken Oroszország gyakorlatilag ugyanazokat a kifosztási és iparleépítési terveket készül végrehajtani, amelyeket a megszállt Donbasz területén már alkalmazott. Geológiai feltárásokat, gyors kitermelést és értékes nyersanyagok, egyebek mellett titán, lítium, tantál, nióbium, cirkónium, molibdén és grafit elszállítását tervezik legalább 18 lelőhelyről. A megszállók további intézkedéseket is terveznek az idei gabonatermés lefoglalására és elszállítására”

– fejtette ki Zelenszkij, hozzátéve, hogy Ukrajna felkészül az ellenlépésekre.

„Frissített információink vannak arról is, hogyan értékelik Oroszországon belül a mi nagy hatótávolságú csapásaink okozta veszteségeket. Az oroszországi közvetlen károk és a termelés, valamint az export lassulásának hatásai növekednek, ami különösen negatívan érinti a regionális költségvetéseket” – írta. Az ukrán elnök szerint „már nem leplezhető”, hogy az orosz régiók nagy része gyakorlatilag csődhelyzetbe került.

A newly published review in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment has revealed disturbing statistics on the growing environmental threats posed by global food production. The global food system, designed to feed and nourish humanity, is now a major contributor to climate change via greenhouse gas emissions, and the largest driver of freshwater depletion, biodiversity loss, and nutrient pollution.

Alarmingly, this new review brings attention to a concerning cruel twist and a deeper problem manifested through feedback loops between environmental change pressures including climate change and global food production.

In this vicious hard to break feedback loop, farmers are forced to use more inputs including fertilizers and toxic pesticides to sustain high yields, which in turn ruins and further compromises the environment while making food production harder in the long term.

In this vicious hard to break feedback loop, farmers are forced to use more inputs including fertilizers and toxic pesticides to sustain high yields, which in turn ruins and further compromises the environment while making food production harder in the long term

The central question then becomes: How do we break these vicious feedback loops that threaten to undermine our global food system in the longer term? What specific foundational strategies stand a chance of reducing environmental pressures and improving global food systems and agricultural production resillience?

First and foremost, the foundations for breaking this cruel cycle begin in the soil, by investing in revitalizing and improving the health of soils and agricultural lands that power global food production. Healthy soils teeming microbes are the foundations of resilient, sustainable and global food production ecosystems.

Healthy soils store and filter water and cycle nutrients, support the growth of nutritious food while simultaneously helping agricultural crop plants to cope with water stress, combat diseases and pests, and use nutrients more effectively, reducing the need for additional inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides.

Convincingly, smart investments channeled towards improving soil health and soil microbiome can help farmers and food producers to produce more and healthy crops with less, limit environmental damage and simultaneously break the emerging feedback loops between global food production and environmental damage.

The good news is that improving and building soil health and soil microbiomes is a top priority for many stakeholders involved in food production in the United States and around the world including farmers, researchers, governments, philanthropists, non-governmental  and non-profit organizations, research funding agencies, the African Union and the United Nations.

Excitingly, adoption of several sustainable regenerative  practices including cover cropping, crop rotation, conservation tillage, planting diverse crops, integrating livestock and agroforestry, alongside with inoculation of soils with microbes including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can improve soil health and quality, improving biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and extend soil longevity beyond 10,000 years. Moreover,  research is confirming that these strategies do indeed work.

Second, another intervention that can reduce environmental decline while improving global food production is investing in innovative  climate-smart agriculture and precision agriculture practices. Scientific evidence has shown that adopting these practices can sustain global food production while limiting environmental harm.

Complementing and accompanying these foundational strategies is the urgent need to prioritize breeding and developing  multi-stress and stress-resilient crops and integrating stress resilient traits from wild relatives of domesticated crops.

Additionally,  multi-stress and climate-resilient crops can be grown alongside other annual and perennial crop species while being integrated into broader sustainable and regenerative farming practices including agroforestry. Collectively, these practices can sustain food production while minimizing environmental harm, thereby breaking feedback loops.

Finally, these strategies must be paired with policies and incentives to ensure maximum adoption. Farmers who adopt regenerative and sustainable soil building, climate-smart, precision agriculture practices while planting stress resilient crops should be supported and rewarded.

Alongside policies and incentives, there is a need to ensure that farmers, who are central in global food production embrace and adopt these sustainable feedback loops breaking practices. Embracing these practices can improve agricultural productivity, resilience and efficiency.

Of course, it is critical to understand and be aware of the constraints that still hinder stakeholders in global food production including farmers from adopting these global food production and environmental pressures feedback loop breaking practices.

Feeding our growing world sustainably requires everyone to confront the vicious cycle of food production and environmental decline. Researchers, policymakers, governments, private businesses, civil society, and philanthropists must act with urgency.

We should view mitigation and adaptation as interconnected strategies to address the dual challenge of producing food while protecting the environmental systems that enable it. The most effective and sustainable solutions will strengthen agriculture and reduce environmental harm. Time is of the essence.

Sovereignty is often understood as control. The more control a state retains, the more sovereign it appears. Yet the comparative trajectories of Portugal and Argentina challenge this assumption. One has voluntarily delegated key powers and achieved stability. The other has preserved formal autonomy and experienced repeated crises. The Burke Sovereignty Index (2024–2025) offers a structured way to measure this paradox.   Portugal represents sovereignty through integration.   Since joining the European Economic Community in 1986 and adopting the euro in 1999, Portugal has transferred core instruments of sovereignty to supranational institutions. Monetary policy is determined by the European Central Bank, fiscal policy is constrained by EU rules, and trade is embedded in collective European frameworks. In classical terms, this appears to be a reduction of sovereignty.   Yet the empirical outcomes suggest otherwise. Following the 2011 financial crisis, Portugal entered a €78 billion assistance program administered by the EU, ECB, and IMF. The conditions were severe: public sector wages were reduced by 14.3%, taxes increased, and structural reforms imposed. Public debt initially rose from 98% of GDP in 2011 to 132% in 2014, illustrating the short-term cost of delegated sovereignty.   But recovery took place within the same framework. By 2025, Portugal’s public debt had declined to 89.7% of GDP, a reduction of 44.4 percentage points. The country recorded a budget surplus of 1.2% of GDP in 2023 and €2.836 billion by late 2025. Growth rates of 1.9% in 2024 and a projected 2.2% in 2026 outperformed the eurozone average. Portugal’s economic sovereignty score reaches 71.6, significantly above Argentina’s 49.8.   This is directly tied to integration. Portugal has remained a net recipient of EU transfers, averaging +1.6% of GDP annually between 1996 and 2024. For 2021–2027, it has been allocated €23 billion in cohesion funds and €16.6 billion through NextGenerationEU. In practical terms, Portugal has traded formal policy discretion for stability, capital access, and institutional credibility.   Argentina represents sovereignty through autonomy.   Unlike Portugal, Argentina has retained full control over monetary, fiscal, and trade policy. It issues its own currency, sets interest rates, and preserves formal independence from supranational structures. Yet this autonomy has repeatedly produced instability rather than durable sovereignty.   Argentina has concluded 23 IMF programs since 1958, totaling $177 billion in approved financing — more than any other country. Each cycle follows a familiar pattern: expansionary policy, rising debt, inflation, devaluation, and external rescue. The 2001 default on $141 billion remains one of the largest in history. The 2018 IMF package of $57 billion failed to stabilize the economy, and in 2025 a new $20 billion program was approved.   This is sovereignty in crisis form: retained in principle, repeatedly surrendered in practice.   The numbers capture this clearly. Argentina’s economic sovereignty score stands at 49.8, far below Portugal’s 71.6. GDP per capita (PPP) is around $30,176, compared to Portugal’s roughly $42,500–50,000. Public debt is 85.3% of GDP, but the country remains chronically unable to stabilize without external support.   Argentina does outperform Portugal in two areas. Cultural sovereignty is higher — 86.7 versus 83.1 — reflecting a strong national cultural identity, publishing sector, and global cultural symbols such as tango. Military sovereignty is also slightly higher — 52.4 versus 45.4 — largely because Argentina has no significant foreign military presence on its soil, although this remains mostly formal given low defense spending of 0.47% of GDP.   The deeper difference lies in the mechanism of dependence.   Portugal’s dependence is continuous and institutional. Argentina’s is episodic and crisis-driven. Portugal functions inside a predictable structure of rules and transfers. Argentina oscillates between autonomy and collapse.   This became even more visible under Javier Milei. Elected in 2023 on a platform of radical sovereignty, Milei introduced shock reforms: a 50% devaluation, 30% spending cuts, and elimination of the fiscal deficit. Inflation fell from 117.8% in 2024 to 31.5% in 2025. Poverty declined from 53% to 31.6%.   Yet this stabilization increased Argentina’s reliance on external finance. The 2025 IMF agreement, liberalization of capital controls, and movement toward effective dollarization tied Argentina more closely to outside monetary structures. In other words, sovereignty rhetoric intensified at the same moment real dependence deepened.   According to the Burke framework, the contrast is measurable:   Portugal: approximately 472.4/700 Argentina: approximately 428.7/700   The 43.7-point gap reflects not geography or culture, but strategy.   Portugal relinquished control and gained stability, institutional trust, and fiscal credibility. Argentina preserved control and absorbed volatility, repeated debt crises, and external intervention. Both countries remain peripheral in different ways, but the form of sovereignty they practice produces opposite outcomes.   This is the key insight of the Burke framework: sovereignty is not defined by the formal possession of instruments, but by the effective capacity to use them without collapse. Monetary independence without stability weakens sovereignty in practice. Institutional constraints, when predictable and productive, may strengthen it.   Portugal and Argentina are therefore mirror cases. One narrows formal choice to increase real capacity. The other preserves formal choice at the expense of strategic consistency.   The paradox is simple but decisive: more declared sovereignty does not necessarily mean more real sovereignty. As the Burke Index makes clear, in modern statecraft power is measured not only by what a state controls on paper, but by what it can sustain over time.

REPORTAGE - Attendu dimanche à Reims pour un meeting, le patron d’Horizons multiplie les déplacements mais il refuse toujours de précipiter son calendrier de candidat, malgré sa large réélection au Havre.

Malgré le cessez-le-feu depuis le 8 avril, le bras de fer entre l’Iran et les États-Unis autour de la fermeture du détroit d’Ormuz continue de s’intensifier, notamment avec la mise en place par Washington d’un « double blocus ». Malgré plusieurs tentatives de médiation, les risques d’escalade régionale demeurent élevés. Parallèlement, les pays du Golfe ont été entrainés malgré eux dans une guerre devenue régionale et les récentes attaques iraniennes contre les Émirats arabes unis ajoutent au niveau de tension. Dans ce contexte, une profonde recomposition géopolitique s’opère au Moyen-Orient, marquée par une évolution des alliances régionales et le retour de rivalités entre monarchies du Golfe. Cette évolution des équilibres géopolitiques s’opère par ailleurs sur fond d’aggravation des crises humanitaires à l’échelle régionale. Au Liban, les frappes israéliennes continuent de toucher des zones civiles et de détruire des infrastructures, provoquant d’importants déplacements de populations. À Gaza, la situation humanitaire ne cesse de se détériorer, face à l’accès à l’aide humanitaire extrêmement limité et le manque d’accès aux soins par les populations civiles. Enfin, les exactions à l’encontre des civils palestiniens et le processus de colonisation israélien se poursuivent en Cisjordanie.

Se dirige-t-on vers une reprise des négociations ou vers une nouvelle escalade de violence dans le Golfe ? Dans quelle mesure la guerre en Iran accélère-t-elle la recomposition des équilibres régionaux au Moyen-Orient ? Comment expliquer les divergences croissantes entre l’Arabie saoudite et les Émirats arabes unis face à l’Iran et à l’alliance israélo-américaine ? Les autorités libanaises peuvent-elles sortir de l’impasse entre pression militaire israélienne et difficultés à mener un processus de négociation viable à Washington ? Enfin, comment expliquer l’absence de mobilisation internationale face à l’aggravation de la crise humanitaire à Gaza ?
