[ad_1] Emmanuel Macron is paying a high price for his push on pension reform as a survey on Sunday showed the French president is facing a new low in popularity — as low as during the protests of the so-called Yellow Jackets. As the French take to the streets toContinue Reading
[ad_1] If that’s true, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy certainly didn’t get the memo. He reportedly sees merit in parts of China’s plan, and looks forward to discussing it with China’s leaders.

If the Trump camp gets its way, Reaganism will have gone from passé in 2016 to an affirmative vulnerability in 2024. There are layersContinue Reading

Ukraine was then on the verge of consummating its long-negotiated “association agreement” with the European Union, a step Russian President Vladimir Putin bitterly opposed.
