Le principe même de diplomatie, espérance, sinon garante de paix, a été renvoyé dans les poubelles de l'histoire.
Les bombardements surviennent pendant le ramadan, mois importanr pour les croyants musulmans. Quel mépris à l'égard de leur religion.
Les formidables réserves d'hydrocarbures de l'Iran, le marché de 90 millions d'habitants, ce pays, le niveau élevé d'éducation et de compétences de sa population sont des proies très tentantes pour le prédateur américain ...
Die NRA hatte recht.

"U.S. President Donald Trump yesterday fired all 24 members of the National Science Board (NSB), the body that oversees the National Science Foundation (NSF). Many science advocates see it as the latest step by his administration to erode—some would say destroy—the independence of the 76-year-old research agency.
“On behalf of President Donald J Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the National Science Board is terminated, effective immediately,” reads a 24 April email from Mary Sprowls of the presidential personnel office to each NSB member. “Thank you for your service.”
The NSB is a unique entity within the U.S. government. In addition to advising the administration and Congress on national science policy, it has statutory authority to oversee the actions of the $9-billion NSF, setting policy and approving large expenditures. Its presidentially appointed members, typically prominent academics and industry leaders, serve 6-year terms, with eight members chosen every 2 years."

"Hardship withdrawals from American retirement accounts are already up 252 percent since COVID-19. It’s so bad that the bar graph looks like a staircase. Most of the money has gone to halting evictions or foreclosure notices. A large part also goes to emergency medical bills and credit card debts, according to investment advisory firm Vanguard. Its study paints a bleak picture of a failed transition, for the rest of American workers, from defined benefit pension funds into defined contribution 401(k) accounts. Pensions give retired workers lifetime monthly annuities at a percentage of their previous salary, meaning that the benefit is defined up front. Defined contribution 401(k) accounts instead depend on the contributions made by the employee. Risk is transferred from boss to worker.
Today, the mean balances on 401(k) accounts are surging, yet median balances — offering more sense of the ordinary American’s condition — have flatlined at under $40,000. The spread between the two numbers is over $100,000. It’s the K-shaped economy playing out in retirement, or at least in retirement preparations. By off-loading the responsibility and the risk of future planning onto individuals, the issue of retirement itself has faded into the background."
