(...) come Mario Monti, (...) parte di quelli che interpretano attivamente la linea di un europeismo che definirei irriflessivo. Una linea espressa da molti altri personaggi illustri prima di lui, ( i quali) pensavano che l'Italia si potesse salvare solo aggrappandosi a un vincolo esterno. Si tratta di una tradizione tutta italiana che deriva dalle nostre debolezze storiche. (...) la potremmo chiamare "linea Guicciardini". E dall'altra parte che cosa c'è? Dall'altra parte c'è quella che potremmo definire "linea Machiavelli", cioè quella che all'epoca voleva un "imperatore" italiano e oggi vuole semplicemente restituire la piena sovranità all'Italia. La linea di Fubini del Corriere e compagnia è quella che ha portato l'Italia e la stessa Europa alla deflazione, la Grecia alla spoliazione. E' una linea composta da un concentrato di economia che da scienza sociale si trasforma tragicamente in aritmetica, oggi rinnegata anche da Juncker e dalla Merkel che fanno finta di essere pentiti perché hanno paura di quanto può accadere alle prossime elezioni europee.

Giulio Sapelli intervistato da Affaritaliani, http://www.affaritaliani.it/cronache/europa-italia-sapelli-intervista-582565.html?refresh_ce

Il punto di questa intervista non è perorare una visione piuttosto che un’altra (Machiavelli rispetto a Quisling, ooops, volevo dire Guicciardini). Il punto, che per me nuovo NON E’, è stabilire una PARI DIGNITA’ INTELLETTUALE tra le due posizioni. E vinca la migliore, la più convincente o meglio, la più darwinianamente ADATTA .

E se chi vince non funzona, che succede? Che moriremo tutti, come ci ammaestrano i Phastidio da vent’anni a questa parte, indipendentemente da chi governi? Succede che c’è Darwin: il perdente viene rimpiazzato, punto e fine della storia (è successo alla Gioiosa Macchina da Guerra, ricapiterà anche ad altri).

In altre parole, è lo smentire i troppi convinti che dopo di loro il Diluvio, che esista un fantomatico divide sociale, ignoranti diqquà e saputoni dillà, è dar la sveglai a chi non si renda conto, o finga, che la distribuzione del cretino come del saggio sia statisticamente equa: ad ogni Toninullo corrisponde un Martina, per un Costa c’è un Orlando etc.etc.; del resto, è esattamente come in ogni azienda e reparto.

Eppure, com’è difficile affermarlo e testimoniarlo, oh! Del resto viviamo in un Paese educato, diciamo, al contradaiolismo irrazionale curvasud che di identitario ci ha solo l’ululato, tanto che ogni aggregato si microspacca ...

The Midheaven: How You Will Be Remembered

The Midheaven (MC) is commonly thought to describe one’s career path. Although this is a decent indicator of one’s overall path, it can be hard to relate to a specific career so early in one’s life. So, if you don’t relate to your Midheaven like, “Oh, you have a MC in Aries, so you’re probably going to be a police officer, solider, or athlete" then maybe try thinking of the Midheaven as how you will be remembered or what you are generally associated with.

Fräulein Merkels mangelndes Gespür für Invasion

Spätestens seit Peter Høegs Roman "Fräulein Smillas Gespür für Schnee" wissen auch wir Deutsche, dass die Inuit, ein überwiegend in Nordkanada und Grönland lebender Eskimo-Stamm, über 200 verschiedene Begriffe für "Schnee" kennen. Der Grund hierfür ist naheliegend: weil das Überleben ihrer Gattung von einer richtigen Einschätzung der Wetterlage abhängt, ist eine präzise Beschreibung dieses (Wetter-) Phänomens unabdingbar.

Was mich zu einer Bedrohung bringt, die für das Überleben meiner eigenen Gattung (ich komme vom Stamme der Bio-Deutschen) von erheblicher Relevanz ist: im Jahr 2015 und folgenden strömten Millionen unzivilisierter Glückssucher aus den Achselhöhlen Afrikas und Asiens nach Europa um, Dank der weder völkerrechtlich noch demokratisch legitimierten Einladung einer skrupellosen und verantwortungsscheuen Bundeskanzlerin, in Deutschland Asyl zu fordern.

Unabhängig von deren dubioser Herkunft, Motivation, Religion und deren mehr als dubiosen rechtlichen Status, klebten Deutschlands Linke (allen voran die Mainstream-Medien und öffentl.-rechtl. Propaganda-Sender) diesen Invasoren umgehend das Ettikett "Refugees" auf: arme, in ihren Herkunftsländern wegen ihrer politischen, sexuellen oder religiösen Haltung verfolgte hochanständige Menschen, die es jetzt - auf Teufel komm' raus - zu "retten" galt.

Um uns ruhig zu stellen, ließen CDU, SPD und - allen voran - die Grünen über ihre Propaganda-Maschinen rasch den Mythos vom hochmotivierten, hochqualifizerten Geflüchteten verbreiten, der "sofort massiv zum deutschen Bruttoinlandsprodukt beitragen, den deutschen Wohlstand mehren und dem Bio-Deutschen bereits in naher Zukunft die Rente finanzieren würde."

Erst nach Monaten sickerte über die alternativen Medien (Sie wissen schon: rechte Schundblätter wie "PI-News" und Jou-Watch, die nur Fake-News verbreiten:-) durch, dass es sich bei den "Hochqualifizierten" größtenteils um afrikanische Ziegenhirten, Kameltreiber oder Animateure bzw. orientalische Schlafmohn-Anbauer handelt, die Zeit ihres Lebens hinter irgendwelche Büsche kackten, nie eine Schule von innen sahen und sich ihre Hintern ein Leben lang mit blanken Händen abwischten. Aber wenigstens waren sie alle sehr gläubig, manche sogar sprenggläubig.

Heute wissen wir, dass zwei Drittel der Invasoren nicht einmal ansatzweise berechtigt waren, unser Land überhaupt zu betreten. Da lümmeln jetzt also siebenhunderttausend unzivilisierte, hochreligiöse Moslems illegal in unserem Land herum, liegen uns auf der Tasche und versuchen, uns ihren Kameltreiber-Lifestyle aufoktroyieren: Frauen, die sich nachts alleine in Deutschlands Straßen bewegen, werden von Ziegenfickern plötzlich zum Freiwild erklärt, Kameltreiber prügeln auf Deutsche ein, die ihre Frauen vor sexuellen Belästigungen schützen wollen und der, cerebral vollkommen unterbelichtete, elfte Sprössling von Mohammed dem Tagelöhner nimmt Sören-Amadeus und Thorben-Justus aus wie eine Weihnachtsgans: Taschengeld, Handy, Designerturnschuhe.

Hurra! Angela Merkel hat Darwin wieder zum Leben erweckt! Plötzlich gewinnt in Deutschland nicht mehr der Schlaue, sondern der Starke: Jussuf-Dumm-wie-ein-Omo-Deckel darf unserem Thorben-Ammadeus jetzt sagen, wo's in Deutschland lang geht. Mahlzeit. Danke Angela.

Was mich zu den mindestens 200 unterschiedlichen Bezeichnungen für siebenhunderttausend Menschen bringt, die gar nicht in Deutschland sein dürften, sich aber dennoch ungeniert und ungehindert in unserem Land bewegen, nichts arbeiten, uns auf der Tasche liegen, Straftaten begehen und dafür nicht einmal ordentlich zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden. Wo sind die? Wo bleiben die 200 unterschiedliche Bezeichnungen für systematisches Staatsversagen, weg ducken, vertuschen und verschleiern?

Wo bleiben die 200 erforderliche Bezeichnungen für die systematischen Rechtsbrüche, Strafvereitelungen in sämtlichen Ämtern und Behörden, die laschen Strafverfolgungen und die viel zu milder Strafen bei dieser Zielgruppe?

Immerhin haben es Bundesregierung, Opposition und Mainstream-Medien ja auch gemeinsam geschafft, mindestens 1.000 Entschuldigungen dafür zu liefern, systematisch zu tun was sie von Rechts wegen nicht tun dürften und systematisch unterlassen zu handeln, wo selbiges von Rechts wegen dringend geboten wäre.

Auf der Strecke bleibt zuerst das Recht. Dann unser Land.

Berlin - political epicenter of the 20th century

Berlin was not always the most relaxed place to spend your time, but in the 20th century it was definitely one of the most exciting - It’s political relevance as the political stage for three World Wars is hard to match. Today it is like a huge outdoor museum - to itself.

The Germany we know today is very young:

In the 19th century there was no single Germany. Instead it consisted of a multitude of principalities loosely bound together as members of the German Confederation. The Germany we know today was forged into a national kingdom for a war against France in 1871 by the Prussian political strategist and first Reichskanzler Otto von Bismarck.

-German Chancellor and political strategist Otto von Bismarck-

Now the man wasn’t exactly a pacifist, but is still hailed today as the genius architect of dynamic non-attack and mutual assistance treaties with the other powers to keep Germany out of trouble in a very unstable Europe. The basic idea, much like the nuclear proliferation that followed, was to render the potential costs of aggression against Germany so high as to prevent anyone from attacking at all, thereby assuring peace.

Sadly in 1914, when the Austrian king’s successor was assassinated by rebels in Serbia, the network of treaties did not only fail to keep the peace, but backfired colossally. It triggered a chain reaction of allegiances, turning a bilateral political conflict into World War I.

As German and French soldiers dug trenches at the border and tried to push through each other with all sorts of new military equipment (like machine guns and poison gas), the death toll is estimated at around 20 million making it one of the most lethal conflicts in world history.

-German and French fighting in trenches at Verdun during WW I-

The war ended in 1918 with Germany’s surrender, and so did the German kingdom.

It made way for the first German democracy, the Republic of Weimar. Sadly the next two decades were very difficult economically. The victors of WW I were rather pissed and made Germany sign the treaty of Versailles, demanding high reparation payments and economic limitations. German politicans found a smart way out by just printing lots of money. Sadly by 1923 this resulted in hyperinflation, a trauma that sits so deep that even a hundred years later Germany remains obsessed with the Euro's currency stability. The global economic crisis of 1929 resulted in recession and unemployment.

The German people became so desperate for change, for hope, for pride, that Hitler became chancellor and soon the Nazis came to power. Unfortunately they were very quick to disassemble the institutions and safeguards of the young democracy, installing a dictatorship called the Third Reich in 1933. There is an excellent exhibition on this process called Topographie des Terrors close to Checkpoint Charlie.

Hitler invested heavily in the German military and - by marching into Poland - effectively began WW II in 1939. He invaded most of Europe at lightnig speed (“Blitzkrieg”). With highly advanced military technology like tanks, fighter planes and submarines, and no remorse, the Nazis had soon occupied most of Europe.

-Highly motivated German soldiers in the Third Reich-

Nazi Germany entered into alliances with fascist Italy, Japan and initially even Russia, but ultimately ended up in a two-front war against Allied forces (mainly Americans & English) in the West and the Soviet Union in the East.

-The third Reich swiftly invaded most of Europe, ultimately overstretching into a 2-front war against the Soviet-Union in the East and American/British forces in the West-

Hitler’s lasting reputation as pure evil is not so much the result of his mad ambition or his ignorance for the 10s of millions who died in the war, but of the holocaust: A campaign to destroy people of Jewish descent and other groups at industrial scale. More than 6 million people were annihilated based on an inhumane racist pseudo-science of genetic purity/ “social darwinism”.

Hitler's ambition was to build a Nazi world empire - its capital “Germania” was to be Berlin. The war only ended in 1945, with American and Soviet troops simultaneously rolling into the capital. Other than debris and corpses there wasn’t much left.

-The Gedächtniskirche in destroyed Berlin after WW II-

Nonetheless for the next half century Berlin would play another prominent role - it became the European stage for the cold war. With the Nazis defeated and the former European colonial powers gone, the two remaining superpowers each sought to install a new world order. The US opted for capitalism (branding it “freedom”) society, while the Soviet Union propagated communism (branding it “equality”).

-The US-Soviet propaganda battle for peoples’ hearts and minds-

The ensuing struggle for world domination would divide the world in two and shape governments, technology and thinking for the next half-century. The opening scene was post-war Berlin.

-Stand-off between American and Soviet tanks at Checkpoint Charlie-

Each side embraced their chunk of postwar Germany and rebuilt their former enemy with money, resources, training and political support in an effort to show that their economic system could build the cooler Germany.

The Soviets held the Eastern sector while the American, British and French sectors soon merged into “West-Berlin”. The latter was in an awkward geography, as the entire city of Berlin was afloat in Soviet-controlled East Germany (Deutsche Demokratische Republik or DDR for short).

-Post-war Germany was divided into the Western American-controlled Bundesrepublik Deutschland (BRD) and the Soviet-controlled Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR) in the East. - Source: Wikimedia / Alexrk2, CC BY-SA 3.0.

In 1948 the Soviets attempted to starve out the Americans. They used their control of the land routes to cut the power lines, and block roads and railways leaving West-Berlin completely isolated - no people or shipment could enter by land or sea.

This set a stage for the Americans to show their commitment to “a democratic Europe”. They promptly decided to launch the largest aerial logistics operation the world had ever seen: With the “Luftbrücke” (Berlin air lift), the US and British air force supplied the 2.2 million people of West-Berlin by air freight! They transported more than 2 million tons of supplies into West-Berlin: Food, medicine, gasoline even coal for heating and power! To achieve this, a supply plane would land EVERY 3 MINUTES.

-In the Luftbrücke a plane would land every 3 minutes to supply West-Berlin-

Still today the Germans thankfully remember the American Douglas C-47 planes - dubbed “Rosinenbomber” (raisin bomber). The receiving Tempelhof airport today is a beautiful park where people go for a run or have a barbie. The gigantic airport building had been constructed by the Nazis to look like an eagle from above. You can also look inside on a tour.

Following the famous “Marshall plan” the Americans invested heavily in reconstructing the infrastructure and economy in West Germany. This success attracted many Germans from the Soviet zone to come to the American sector and legally travel on into West-Germany. Desperate to stop this massive drain of human resources, in 1961 the Soviets built a radical, but effective anti-emigration policy: The Berlin wall.

-Berlin wall death-strip-

-Map of the inner-German wall surrounding West-Berlin Source: Wikimedia / Sansculotte. 05/2004 A. Darmochwal-

For almost 40 years to come, the wall encircled and isolated West Berlin, heavily guarded. When I see tourists today taking selfies at the Brandenburg gate, it’s hard to imagine they are saying cheese in the former death-strip - before 1989 they would have been shot on sight. It’s hard to imagine living in a city split in two, but in many places you can still see remnants of the wall (famously the East-side gallery or the Berliner Mauer memorial).

-Brandenburg Gate sealed off during cold war versus today-

This history is so powerful and recent that as you walk through Berlin, you can literally experience the major political twists that shaped the 20th century.

Since the Soviet Empire collapsed in 1989 the political architecture has changed completely. The world is no longer divided in two. West- and East-Germany were reunified with their joint capital in Berlin: Nearly all the major political institutions have moved here from sleepy West-German Bonn and following a city-wide reconstruction boom, they have received new architecture - an elegant example of this being the house of parliament Reichstag.

This new Germany is deeply integrated politically and economically into the European Union (EU). The founding idea was to have a common control of war-critical resources (coal and steel) and that close economic partners would have much more to lose than to gain from war. From this rather narrow idea of war-avoidance, the EU has developed into a strong federation. It has been swift and eager to include countries across Eastern Europe into their midst, now spanning 27 member states. For all its petty criticism, the EU has maintained a war-free period of 75 years...longer than Europe has seen in many centuries. But even with the deep EU integration, most policy is not decided in Brussels, but rather by the various heads of state. One of the most decisive pro-European forces in the last 15 years has been legendary German chancellor Angela Merkel, right here in Berlin.

I highly recommend a visit to the Deutsches Historisches Museum. It offers a wrap-up of European history by asking “What is a border?” For me this was an eye-opener: the exhibit shows how many borders are purely political demarcations and how dynamically they can change. It helps to grasp the unbelievable number of conflicts and resulting changes in borders in Europe as a map of changing colors in time reel. Furthermore the museum offers an excellent selection of historic objects and historic explanations to understand German history, from the middle-ages through both World Wars to today. Depending on your interest and endurance, you can dive in for anytime between 2 and 10 hours.

Also, for a glimpse into life in the East-German Democratic Republic, check out the DDR museum.

DARWIN ET LE RACISME “SCIENTIFIQUE” RENCONTRENT ARISTOTE, SHAKESPEARE ET KANT.

L’eugénisme de la Cabale, d’Hitler, un de leurs agents et qui serait le père d’Angela Merkel :

Angela Merkel est née en R.D.A., la partie communiste de l’Allemagne en 1954. Sa biographie indique qu’elle est née le 17 juillet 1954, et qu’ elle est la fille d’un Pasteur luthérien d’une église contrôlée de l’Allemagne de l’Est.

20. AUGUST 2017, Germania!

... weder überlegen noch auserwählt

20. AUGUST 2017 UM 13:38

waltomax

Geht hier der Knopf auf? Ist Trump nur ein Pausenclown, der die Aufmerksamkeit auf sich ziehen und weitere Verwirung stiften soll? Siehe:

https://vimeo.com/205194593

Eine kleine Reflexion zum Filmausschnitt „HARODIM“

Säße ich in dieser Runde im Film, würde ich fragen, warum Angloamerika und Zion denn gegen das Deutsche Reich Krieg führten und Deutschland immer noch vernichten wollen. Wenn es tatsächlich um die Durchsetzung dessen geht, der am lebenstüchtigsten ist, dann hätte man Deutschland ja in Ruhe lassen müssen, oder? Denn das Kaisereich hatte 1916 den Krieg gewonnen, alle Länder (mit Ausnahme der USA) auf diesem Planeten wirtschaftlich überholt und bot Frieden an. Es ging den Deutschen also gerade nicht um Krieg. Was sind denn die Lügen der Illuminaten?

Sie verwechseln das Überleben des am besten Angepassten mit dem des physisch Stärkeren. Warum überlebten dann die kleinen Säugetiere und nicht die Dinosaurier? Es überlebt der nach innen komplexeste Organismus und der nach außen kompakteste. Soviel zur ständig geübten Missdeutung Darwins durch Faschisten.

Die Illuminaten (Zionisten) schaffen Missverhältnisse und erfreuen uns durch die „Lösung“ von Problemen, die wir ohne sie nicht hätten. So z.B. Frau Merkel, welche uns die Lösung der Migration verspricht, nachdem sie diese selber induziert hat. So generiet man Macht!

Die Illuminaten (Zionisten) sehen sich im Besitz einer überlegenen Intelligenz und eines Wissens, das sie nach ihrer Ansicht vom Rest der Welt abhebe und den Anspruch rechtfertige, auf Kosten und zum Nachteil der Mehrheit zu überleben.

Die Deutsche Tradition hat uns sowohl den dezentralen Ansatz als auch (so meine Ansicht) eine höher entwickelte Technologie bewahrt (Schauberger), auf deren Basis wir als Volk nachhaltig wirtschaften könnten.

Was die hierarchisch denkenden und organisierten Illuminaten fürchten, das ist die Heterarchie der Germanen und ihr ständiger Impuls, sich der Natur optimal anzupassen und sich auf diese Grundlage zu entwickeln.

Nein, die Illuminten suchen sich genau den Evolutionsgesetzen mit List, Tücke und Gewalt zu entziehen, die sie in einer völligen Missdeutung gegen uns verwenden wollen.

Sie sind weder überlegen noch auserwählt. Aber Deutschland und das Deutsche Volk haben das Rüstzeug zu einem neuen Anfang, der eben das Ende der bisherigen Hierarchie bedeuten würde. Davor haben diese Leute Angst und zwar nicht erst seit gestern, sondern mindestens seit Elisabeth der I.

Es geht um einen geistigen Krieg, der sich nach außen oft in Gewändern politischer Opportunität und allerlei diplomtischen Geplänkels verbirgt.

Besinne Dich auf Dich selbst, Germania! Nur so kannst Du überleben, indem Du ein Beispiel gibst! (Der kategorische Imperativ auf nationaler Ebene.)

Air Berlin dépose son bilan, les vols continuent

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AirJournal/~3/X_1RNE2iNwM/2017-08-16-air-berlin-depose-son-bilan-les-vols-continuent-5186144.html La compagnie aérienne Air Berlin a déposé son bilan mardi, blâmant la fin du soutien financier de l’actionnaire Etihad Airways, mais ses vols et ceux de Niki ne sont pas affectés. Lufthansa s’est immédiatement déclarée intéressée, provoquant une plainte de Ryanair. La compagnie privée allemande a annoncé le 16 aout 2017 avoir déposé son bilan auprès d’un tribunal de Berlin « pour continuer le processus de restructuration déjà entamé ». Air Berlin précise dans son communiqué que « le gouvernement fédéral, Lufthansa et d’autres partenaires » la soutiennent dans ses efforts de redressement, un prêt-relais de 150 millions d’euros lui ayant été accordé par le gouvernement Merkel pour « maintenir ses opérations sur le long terme ». Tous ses vols, ainsi que ceux de sa filiale autrichienne Niki, sont maintenus comme prévus, ainsi que les possibilités de réservation. La compagnie de l’alliance Oneworld précise que des négociations « très avancées et hautement prometteuses » sont en cours avec Lufthansa et d’autres partenaires pour l’acquisition de certaines activités, avec une possible « finalisation imminente » (elle ne mentionne pas ses créneaux de vol dans les aéroports allemands, en particulier à Berlin-Tegel et Düsseldorf). Le CEO Thomas Winkelmann déclare travailler « sans relâche pour atteindre le meilleur résultat possible pour la compagnie, nos clients et nos employés, face à la situation actuelle ». Le gouvernement a de son côté annoncé que le prêt de 150 millions d’euros devrait être suffisant pour permettre la poursuite des activités pendant trois mois et le maintien de l’emploi, soit quelque 8600 personnes – et ce à un mois et demi des prochaines élections. Air Berlin explique sa décision par l’arrêt du soutien financier de l’actionnaire Etihad Airways, qui détient 29,2% de son capital depuis 2012. La deuxième compagnie allemande n’a quasiment jamais dégagé de bénéfices pendant les huit dernières années, avec une perte record de 782 millions d’euros en 2016 ; sa dette nette se monte à 1,2 milliard d’euros. Elle se retrouve donc dans la même situation qu’Alitalia, en vente depuis le printemps après la décision de la compagnie nationale des Emirats Arabes Unis d’arrêter les frais – les employés ayant rejeté par référendum une nouvelle cure d’austérité. Etihad Airways a immédiatement réagi hier, rappelant qu’elle avait déjà avancé 250 millions d’euros à Air Berlin en avril. Dans un courriel à Bloomberg, elle a expliqué que sa décision avait été prise suite à la détérioration « à un rythme sans précédent » des opérations de la compagnie allemande, ce qui « l’empêche de surmonter d’importantes difficultés et de mettre en œuvre des solutions stratégiques alternatives ». Elle continue à chercher des « solutions économiquement viables » pour Air Berlin, mais ses deux représentants au Conseil d’administration ont démissionné ; et en tant qu’actionnaire minoritaire, elle « ne peut offrir une aide financière qui l’exposerait encore davantage », après avoir subi elle-même une perte de 1,87 milliard de dollars l’année dernière. La présence officielle de Lufthansa dans les discussions n’est pas une surprise, celle-ci louant depuis décembre dernier à Air Berlin 38 monocouloirs avec leurs équipages pour renforcer les opérations moyen-courriers du groupe (33 pour la low cost Eurowings, 5 pour Austrian Airlines). Une opération qui avait d’ailleurs été annoncée en même temps qu’un partage de codes justement avec Etihad Airways (que cette dernière qualifie de toujours « important »). Lufthansa chercherait à récupérer les avoirs rentables de sa rivale, en particulier la filiale autrichienne Niki (qui n’est pas concernée par le dépôt de bilan, tout comme l’activité fret d’Air Berlin). Plusieurs sources expliquent que l’autre compagnie intéressée est la low cost easyJet, mais celle-ci n’a pas fait de commentaire ; aucun autre candidat ne se serait présenté. Ryanair en revanche a annoncé hier le dépôt de plaintes auprès de l’Autorité de la concurrence allemande et de la Commission européenne, face au « complot évident du gouvernement, de Lufthansa et d’Air Berlin de découper les acquis de cette dernière, excluant d’autres concurrents majeurs et ignorant les règles européennes sur la concurrence et sur les aides d’état ». La low cost irlandaise dénonce en particulier le gouvernement pour son « soutien à un monopole mené par Lufthansa qui va augmenter les prix sur les vols intérieurs déjà très hauts ». Le syndicat de pilotes Vereinigung Cockpit a de son côté dénoncé les erreurs de gestion d’Air Berlin, tout en se disant « dépité » face à la décision d’Etihad Airways. Pour son président Ilja Schultz, il est « scandaleux » que la compagnie émiratie « fuie ses responsabilités et laisse tomber les salariés d’Air Berlin ». Rappelons que les problèmes financiers d’Etihad Airways l’ont aussi conduite à revendre ses parts dans Darwin Airlines au propriétaire de la compagnie nationale de Slovénie Adria Airways.

Donald Trump’s undiplomatic diplomacy

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is quickly becoming the world's most undiplomatic -- and unpredictable -- diplomat.

Over the course of a week, he had a bruising telephone call with the leader of Australia, one of America's closet allies. He complained to the Mexican President about that country's "handling" of "tough hombres."

And Thursday evening, Trump's administration warned that new Israeli settlement activity could potentially hamper the peace process, a new stance for a White House that's remained adamant in its support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Throughout his campaign, Trump hailed the virtues of being unpredictable on the world stage. Much to the happiness of some of his supporters, he's following through. But in the process, Trump is confusing much of the world. He's also handing some leaders, such as those in the United Kingdom and Mexico, political headaches of their own after encountering Trump.

The President was still fulminating about the deal by Thursday afternoon.

"I just said why?... Why are we doing this? What's the purpose?" Trump told reporters. "We have wonderful allies and we're going to keep it that way but we need to be treated fairly also."

Trump's decision to question the deal has rattled relations with Australia, a crucial pillar of US Asia-Pacific strategy, a member of the Five Eyes intelligence sharing agreement and an ally that has battled alongside the United States dating back to World War I.

Trump continues to question refugee deal after heated call with Australian PM

Sen. John McCain, who fought with Australians in Vietnam, took it upon himself to smooth over relations on Thursday following Trump's showdown with Turnbull, telephoning Australia's ambassador to Washington.

"This in my view was unnecessary and frankly, harmful," the Arizona Republican said, adding that the dispute was far less important than cooperation, including joint training missions involving US Marines in the northern Australian city of Darwin.

Senior Democrats were also disturbed by the argument.

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine said to have a "contentious conversation and name call (a) country or the Prime Minister of a country that is one of our greatest allies in Asia is foolish."

"He is doing kind of amateur hour stuff on matters of significant national importance," said Kaine, who was the 2016 Democratic vice presidential nominee.

Lesson for foreign leaders

Foreign policy experts said the US-Australia relationship remains too strong to be damaged. But the spat will be seen by other foreign leaders as a lesson in the difficulty of dealing with Trump.

British Prime Minister Theresa May found out that leaders who align themselves with Trump can get burned. The President didn't tell her he was signing an executive order restricting travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries soon after she left the White House last Friday, exposing her to a torrent of political criticism back home.

US planning additional sanctions on Iran following missile test

Despite anodyne government readouts, there were also hints of tension in Trump's weekend call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whom the President has criticized for welcoming Syrian refugees.

Her office said Merkel "explained" to Trump that the Geneva Conventions require nations to offer a haven from refugees fleeing war.

But Trump is unapologetic about the bracing conversations he is having with world leaders -- a sign the White House is more concerned about Trump projecting a strong image on the world stage than stepping on diplomatic toes.

"The world is in trouble, but we're going to straighten it out. OK? That's what I do. I fix things. We're going to straighten it out," Trump said at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday. "Believe me. When you hear about the tough phone calls I'm having, don't worry about it. Just don't worry about it. They're tough. We have to tough ... We're taken advantage of by every nation in the world virtually. It's not going to happen anymore."

Trump's pugnacious approach to diplomacy is not surprising given his personality, which he used to great effect in his business career. While his attitude dismays foreign policy elites, it's likely to be welcomed by voters who turned to him in search of strong leadership and see his encounters as a manifestation of his "America First" philosophy.

But several diplomats have said Trump's acute course corrections in foreign policy and blunt manner make it difficult to decipher exactly where the United States now stands on key global issues.

Private vs. public arguments

Getting tough with America's friends also represents a break from previous administrations where disagreements often erupted but were not litigated in public. The White House may find in future that creating political problems for friendly leaders will make it more difficult for them to compromise with Washington or even to send troops to help fight America's wars.

UN Ambassador Haley hits Russia hard on Ukraine

"We have an unwritten rule in diplomacy, you are going to argue with your friends but do it behind closed doors, don't expose differences, in public," Nicholas Burns, a longtime US diplomat and former under secretary of state for political affairs, told CNN International. "Don't make life difficult for your friends, the Prime Minister of Australia, the Chancellor of Germany, the President of Mexico."

Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Bob Corker, meanwhile, suggested Trump's approach was not surprising given his history in business. But, he said, it could evolve.

"Business people tend to go straight at a problem. I mean, that's kind of the world that they have lived in," Corker said, adding that he had discussed the issue with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who also comes from the business world. "These relationships that are built through years, they matter and are important as opposed to dealing with the CEO of a company, you're dealing with a country and you've got popular opinion within that country and so it's important to in that context understand the importance of those things."
