--- Quote ---
> The farmers protests against green policies that have swept
across Europe have spread to Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal.
So in this video, we'll explain these protests, what's
motivating them and what it all means for Europe's future green
transition.

fluctuation in farming yields, you'd think you'd want to keep a
larger buffer of farming capacity to remain afloat in case it
gets really bad.

they may also get struck suddenly with bad yields which will,
without a doubt, make those countries serve themselves first.

shortage.

Why Europe is Reinstating Conscription
--- Quote ---
> Last month, the head of the British Army caused a bit of a
storm after admitting that the British public should start
getting ready for a war with Russia, and introduce some kind of
a conscription. But, the United Kingdom isn't the only country
thinking about a conscription. So, why is everyone thinking
about upping their army numbers, and what's causing the crisis?

Breakaway region in Europe asks Russia for protection
--- Quote ---
> Pro-Russian rebels in Transnistria, a separatist sliver of
Moldova, have asked President Vladimir Putin to protect their
region from what they claim are threats from Moldova’s
government.
>
> Transnistria, which illegally split from Moldova as the Soviet
Union crumbled, has remained firmly within the Kremlin’s orbit
while Moldova, which borders Ukraine, is bidding to join the
European Union.

What do the Transnistrians think of the pro-Russian separatists'
appeal to Moscow? | DW News
--- Quote ---
> Ukraine is warning against 'destructive external interference'
in Moldova's breakaway region of Transnistria. This, after
pro-Russia separatists there asked Moscow for „protection". It's
the same overture used by separatists in eastern Ukraine a
decade ago.
>
> The self-proclaimed Republic of Transnistria is a tiny sliver
of land located between Ukraine and Moldova - they were both
Soviet Republics. Transnistria broke away from Moldova during
the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.
>
> People identifying as 'Russian' – many of them hold Russian
citizenship – make up a sizable minority in Transnistria. And
tensions have been rising ever since Russia's invasion of
Ukraine.
>
> For more on this, we talk to freelance journalist Mircha
Barbu, who joins us from just outside Chisinau, the capital of
Moldova.

Armenia Ditches Putin: How France Stole Russia’s Ally
--- Quote ---
> Last week, the Armenian Prime Minister announced that it has
frozen its participation in the CSTO, accessing Russia of
failing to fulfil its security obligations, and realigning
itself to the West, particularly with France. In this video, we
explain why Armenia has fallen out with Russia, what's France
got to do with it, and how it fits into a wider regional
realignment.

Why an EU Army Looks Increasingly Likely
--- Quote ---
> With the military situation in Ukraine and the Middle East and
a NATO-sceptic Trump administration on the cards, most of Europe
now agrees that it needs to take its own security more seriously
with some even calling for an Europe-wide military force. While
this has been on the cards for a while now, could this renewed
call put the army plan into action?

At least this time our enemies admit the legality of accepting
refugees:

--- Quote ---
> In a series of 10 votes on Wednesday (April 11th, 2024) the
European Parliament approved the long contentious Migration and
Asylum Pact which has been a decade in the making. The raft of
measures is designed to force solidarity on member states,
redistribute migrants from countries struggling with their
arrival, and ensure that the European Union can override member
state policy during emergency situations.
>
> But, with a record number of migrants arriving on Europe’s
shores and national populations voting in an increasingly
nationalist direction, it is likely that the pact will only be
used to force ever large populations of foreigners on the White
nations of Europe.

ruling that the country was blocking migrants at its border

> The ruling has sparked a strong reaction from the Hungarian
government, with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán writing on X that
the “ECJ’s decision to fine Hungary with 200M euros plus 1m
euros daily for defending the borders of the European Union is
outrageous and unacceptable. It seems that illegal migrants are
more important to the Brussels bureaucrats than their own
European citizens.”

illegally detained and blocked migrants from entering its
territory and then illegally held asylum seekers at the Röszke
transit zone on Serbian territory, thereby allowing them to be
deported before they could appeal their asylum application
rejection. The court ordered Hungarian authorities to reconsider
the practice of detaining such migrants.

OK, so what happens if Hungary also ignores the new judgement?
Do you order Hungary to pay an even bigger fine? What happens if
Hungary also ignores that? Do you just keep issuing empty verbal
judgements perpetually without enforcement? How many judgements
must Hungary ignore before we start dropping WMDs on them?

Israel accused of 'shocking violation': EU condemns all attacks
on UN mission in Lebanon
--- Quote ---
> EU foreign ministers displayed unity as tensions in the Middle
East worsen. Josep Borrell, the EU’s chief diplomat, voiced
growing concern, emphasizing that all 27 members demand Israel
cease attacks on UNIFIL, which involves several European
countries. France’s foreign minister, Jean-Noel Barrot, stressed
that Israel’s security should rely on dialogue, not force, while
calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon. Besides the Middle
East, the EU also approved a €35 billion loan to support Ukraine
and imposed sanctions on Iran for supplying Russia with drones
and missiles.
