The U.S. Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump's administration's urgent request to compel California to separate more than 20,000 mail-in ballots, believing that their owners could be non-U.S. citizens. #AukščiausiasisTeismas #DonaldasTrumpas #balsavimas (translated)
Vučić has fallen. What next? Why is it naive to expect that the new Serbian government will instantly cut ties with Moscow? After the elections, there was great rejoicing in Serbia, claiming that a European Serbia has won. Only Matas Maldeikis among our politicians stated that nothing will come of it, while others expressed hope that this is a great opportunity, as Belgrade has turned away from Moscow. However, later Mažvydas Jastramskis presented the view that he is pleased with the victory of democracy and is not expecting a geopolitical transformation. Regardless, today, as we have heard the first statements from the winners, the euphoria has somewhat subsided. Because, in fact, the voting in Serbia was not “for” but a protest against the despised Vučić. The voting was convincing. It is believed that the high voter turnout forced Vučić to abandon thoughts of violence and almost instantly recognize his defeat. However, the “Student List,” which received an absolute majority and will now form a new government, is essentially a cat in a sack. Let’s recall that the list ran with an 11-point program, which is all about corruption, audits, and courts for the bad ones. In short, we will punish the bad, and do good for the good. Everything else, including foreign policy, is just fog. With this program, the students have fulfilled their task - the common enemy has been defeated, but no one knows what will happen next. One thing is clear, Serbia will not turn away from Russia overnight and will not hurry to join the EU. Firstly, the winners' dependence on voters will not allow that, as the vast majority of voters are not pro-Western. Secondly, if the list wants to stay in power for at least six months, it must act very cautiously - not to argue among themselves and not to irritate people with hasty decisions in foreign policy. https://balkanailt.substack.com/p/vucicius-krito-kas-toliau #Serbia #Balkans #election (translated)
JAV Atstovų Rūmai simboliškai kritikavo prezidentą D. Trumpą dėl karo su Iranu, priimdami rezoliuciją, kuri reikalauja išvesti JAV pajėgas, nebent Kongresas aiškiai leistų tęsti karinę veiklą, tačiau ši priemonė neturi teisinių pasekmių ir greičiausiai bus ignoruojama, o balsavimas atskleidė augantį nerimą dėl šio konflikto Kongrese. #DonaldTrump #JAV #Iranas
JAV Senatas, nepaisydamas prezidento D. Trumpo veto teisės ir jo pasipiktinimo, priėmė rezoliuciją, raginančią užbaigti karą su Iranu, tačiau galutinis balsavimas dėl šios rezoliucijos parodė didelę politikų nesutarimą ir atskleidė prezidento nepatenkinimą dėl respublikonų gyvenimo būdo. #DonaldTrump #Iranas #JAV
JAV Kongresas priėmė rezoliuciją, reikalaujančią D. Trumpo išvesti JAV pajėgas iš karo veiksmų su Iranu, o šis balsavimas, sulaukęs 50 senatorių balsų „už“ ir 48 „prieš“, parodė abiejų Kongreso rūmų priešiškumą konfliktui, nors jo teisinė galia kelia abejonių. #JAV #IranoKaro #DTrumpas
