La primera vez que salió de su país durante el primer mandato trumpista, cuenta, no se atrevió a llevarse su ordenador portátil por miedo a que se lo requisaran al volver en el aeropuerto de Nueva York, la ciudad donde vive. “Que yo, como estadounidense que no ha cometido ningún delito, esté asustado al pasar por mi propio aeropuerto, por una policía secreta, un equivalente moderno de la Stasi, es muy preocupante”, apunta, café en mano, el jueves pasado, en un restaurante de Barcelona. Relata que en The New Yorker, la prestigiosa revista para la que trabaja desde hace 20 años, ya están pensando qué hacer el día en que el Departamento de Justicia pueda entrar por la puerta con una orden de registro.

The Kremlin confirmed Tuesday, September 1st, 2026, that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed the possibility of a trilateral face-to-face meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, scheduled for November 18-19th, in Shenzhen, China.

The meeting is still in the planning stages but the American thug-in-chief an indispensable party has already agreed to attend. Few eyebrows have been raised so far because the American component is a habitual liar so what he says and what he does may not correlate. The Summit in China is a month away. But a chance to meet with two of his closest friends  and allies will not be missed by the evil clown in the White House.

The American thug’s most accommodating American accomplice and equally mendacious voice has simply repeated what he has said so often in the past: that it is necessary to speak with your adversaries, thus keeping the American people guessing. In the bizarre world of Donald J. Trump, Putin is not an adversary. Little Marco may still speak differently so as to present a view that most Americans share, but he is a quisling concerned about his own future. That for him is more important than anything else. Fear and ambition are two quite compelling factors.

Trump has characterized the trilateral meeting as intended for a discussion of the need for de-nuclearization among three of the world’s largest nuclear powers. However, this is another one of Trump’s lies. or simply a a cover-up. Putin has insisted for some time that China participate in trilateral talks about the war in Ukraine. Putin has also insisted that Ukraine not be invited to participate. This is simply another example of Trump complying with Putin’s wishes. That is what agents or surrogates do.

The Summit will result in a trade-off but not for Ukraine’s benefit. As far as Ukraine is concerned, it will be a sellout, like all previous summits involving Trump and the Russian thug Vladimir Putin. One can only consider Helsinki in 2018 or Alaska in 2025. The self-proclaimed American master of the deal has repeatedly proven himself incompetent at deal-making. Or perhaps his shameless results are intentional. There will be personal gain from yet another nefarious arrangement.The American thug is silent on this point. Little Marco will spin an excuse for this aberration as well. There will most certainly be some personal benefit for Trump and his family.

The President of Ukraine wakes up each day to a new betrayal by his American “ally,” more death and destruction of his people and land, but with his eyes wide open that Trump is the enemy. President Zelensky is astute and principled, but also a very good actor; he often plays the Biblical “Job,” yet even his patience has its limitations. A trilateral summit of thugs about ending the war in Ukraine without Ukraine is a non starter. Ukraine will not be bullied. The people of Ukraine will not allow that.

The agenda for the axis of evil meeting includes one more item. No one is considering denuclearizing. The power must be distributed between the three behemoths. Ukraine is certain to be sold off. Taiwan may be next. And Cuba may be another victim of the sphere of influence division of the world. Certainly Russia will give up any interest in destitute Cuba in order to take over rich Ukraine. For Russia Ukraine has been the prize for almost four hundred years.

The axis is mutually accommodating. Currently, Russia stayed out of Syria and Iran. It relinquishes Cuba. America purchases Russian diesel, integrates Russia into the world economy at the G20. China retrieves Taiwan, America and Russia agrees to stay out of any China-India conflict. With Ukraine Russia stands at the gates to Europe. America feels secure in its defensive posture by having encroached on Greenland’s military sovereignty. Everyone is happy except for the remaining almost two hundred countries in the world.

The biggest obstacle is Ukraine. The people of Ukraine remain committed to freedom and democracy. Each day I receive several inquiries from Ukraine: “When will this Trump nightmare end?” . The midterm elections remain a beacon of hope for Ukrainians and Americans alike. Trump will attend the November China summit as a lame duck with Congress set to begin his third impeachment. in January. Ukrainians can pray. Americans must vote. Let the hearings and investigations begin. Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, the commander-in-chief is a traitor and a criminal. It will all come out. We the people have had enough!

I tassisti tornano a protestare contro il caro carburante e lanciano un ultimatum al governo. Lunedì 26 ottobre è previsto un presidio a Roma, mentre il presidente di itTaxi Loreno Bittarelli avverte che, senza interventi urgenti, i lavoratori potrebbero non riuscire più a sostenere i costi del servizio.

Tariffe fissate dai Comuni e rincari alla pompa: le tre richieste dei tassisti al governo

Il caro carburante mette in difficoltà anche i tassisti, pronti a scendere in piazza lunedì 26 ottobre a Roma per chiedere interventi al governo. A denunciare la situazione è Loreno Bittarelli, presidente di itTaxi, che in un editoriale pubblicato sull’Economista mette in guardia dal rischio di un blocco del servizio qualora non arrivassero risposte concrete.

“Chi conosce itTaxi sa che non abbiamo mai ceduto a proteste ideologiche, ma oggi siamo di fronte a un’emergenza economica non più sostenibile”. A rendere particolarmente difficile la situazione, secondo Bittarelli, è il sistema delle tariffe amministrate dai Comuni, che impedisce agli operatori di adeguare autonomamente il costo delle corse all’aumento dei prezzi di benzina e gasolio. “Con le tariffe amministrate dai Comuni, non possiamo scaricare sui clienti i rincari record di benzina e gasolio: i costi li pagano interamente i lavoratori, i cui margini sono azzerati. Saremo in piazza a piedi, fuori turno e senza vetture, per far sentire la nostra voce senza creare disagi ai cittadini”.

La mobilitazione sarà dunque organizzata senza le auto bianche e coinvolgerà i conducenti fuori turno, con l’obiettivo di manifestare senza interrompere il normale servizio ai cittadini. Tre le principali richieste rivolte al governo: l’estensione del “Gasolio Professionale” al comparto taxi, l’istituzione di un fondo straordinario di compensazione per sostenere i maggiori costi del carburante e incentivi concreti per favorire la transizione ecologica delle vetture.

Bittarelli avverte però che la categoria potrebbe arrivare a fermarsi se le istituzioni non adotteranno provvedimenti in tempi rapidi: “Senza risposte urgenti” – conclude Bittarelli – “il rischio concreto è il blocco del servizio per l’impossibilità materiale di coprire i costi di gestione”.
