#TTIP pour la France c'est signé!
L’Elysée a voulu saluer les efforts de Laurent Fabius en matière de diplomatie économique – création d’une direction des entreprises, nomination de "représentants spéciaux" pour vendre la France en Chine ou en Inde -et sa gestion des crises (hormis, peut-être, la Syrie). Il a aussi préféré lui confier la négociation du traité transatlantique avec les Etats-Unis, plutôt que de le -laisser à l’auteur de Votez pour la démondialisation! Pourtant, "le Quai n’a pas l’expertise nécessaire sur les sujets commerciaux", critique un haut fonctionnaire.

Today only in Kharkov at least 70 activists have been arrested during the so-called “anti-terrorist operation”.
The flywheel of political repressions in Ukraine is gaining momentum these days. In sharp contrast with the liberal approach by president Yanukovych to the “Euromaidan” rout, the interim Kievan administration did not hesitate much about cracking down the public uprising against the “neo-Nazi regime” on the rise in the East and South of Ukraine. Today only in Kharkov at least 70 activists have been arrested during the so-called “anti-terrorist operation”. According to the reports, foreign mercenaries presumably from the US Greystone Ltd private military contractor firm were participating in the operation along with the National Guard (majorly consisting of the ultranationalist Pravy (Right) Sector fighters) and some loyal Interior Ministry units.

If EU member states think so, why is there not any kind of trans-European common and joint reaction against US attitude towards EU? Why do national states let the TTIP negociations going on? Why do they not react when USA install missiles and planes on our Eastern territory and interfere in our internal and external politics? If they think the EC and Ashton will stand up for any kind of political sovereignty of Europe, they are wrong: visions of Barroso and Ashton are those of an economic, financial banking union, whose success is measured in numbers, charts and regulations, whatever the societal and political costs could be...
In an interview, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière, 60, warns that American spying has become "boundless" and expresses sorrow that approval ratings for the United States have plummeted in Germany.
Approval ratings for Americans in German polls are lower right now than they have been in a long time. The last time this was the case was during a certain phase of the policies of George W. Bush. It saddens me. Even if Obama's initial popularity may have been exaggerated, the US cannot be apathetic to the fact that approval ratings have shifted to such a degree within just one year. America should have an interest in improving them. Words alone will not suffice.

Enfin certaines élites de l'Europe se réveillent, mais trop tard...
Soixante quinze minutes – c’est le temps que Barack Obama aura royalement octroyé au sommet UE-USA, le 26 mars....
Après avoir bouté la Russie hors du G8, les dirigeants de ce cénacle espéraient sans doute faire de même au G20, comme l’a proposé l’Australie. Cette suggestion a provoqué un communiqué commun courroucé de la Chine, de l’Inde, du Brésil et de l’Afrique du Sud, qui se sont solidarisés avec Moscou. Pour les dirigeants américains et européens, qui pensaient être parvenus à « isoler » Moscou, c’est réussi ! Au-delà des affrontements diplomatiques, reste la question des peuples. En Ukraine, le réveil va être brutal (une augmentation de 50% du prix de l’énergie vient d’être annoncée). Côté dirigeants européens, on ne s’est pas appesanti sur les milliards qui doivent filer vers Kiev, et dont une partie est issue du budget communautaire. Autrement dit du porte-monnaie des contribuables.

The situation in the Ukraine and Crimea seems more and more like a badly written scenario, with the EU in a walk-on part.
For the sake of Europe and all Europeans, let’s hope the Member Counties’ governments and the European Council set their priorities right, stop playing second fiddle to the US tune and focus on solving the pressing problems we face within the Union...

si le sort de l’Ukraine est bien à plaindre, la vraie cible de la manœuvre est l’Europe... son indépendance et sa liberté...
Sans l’Europe, les Etats-Unis n’ont pas le levier nécessaire pour casser le processus de multipolarisation en cours. Tout au plus parviendront-ils à faire tomber sur eux-mêmes un rideau de fer… quelques temps… puis inévitablement se retrouveront entraînés dans les dynamiques de la nouvelle configuration dans laquelle ils ont bien sûr toute leur place, tout comme l’entité européenne.
