🚨🚨BREAKING Emmanuel Macron breaks his silence on the Mbappé vs China controversy.
“Let me make one thing very clear. France has absolutely no reason to panic because a meme has offended people in China. Kylian Mbappé laughed at jokes about himself, and somehow, this has become an international controversy. Are we serious right now?
I have more important matters to deal with than explaining to people why a French footballer is allowed to laugh at memes about his own life. Mbappé has represented France on the biggest stages in world football, and I will not watch him being treated like a criminal for something this ridiculous.
If the Chinese government or anyone else wants to take this matter a step further, then France is prepared to respond accordingly. We will not be pressured into apologising simply because people have decided to take a joke personally. Respect must work both ways.
Let me also make this clear: France will not allow anyone to dictate how our citizens should speak, think or react. You cannot spend years mocking someone and then become offended when that same person laughs along with the jokes.
If they want to turn a meme into a diplomatic issue, that is their choice. But France has no intention of making this bigger than it needs to be. Mbappé has my support, and we have far more important things to worry about than internet memes.”
🇫🇷France stands with Mbappé!

🚨Zlatan Ibrahimovic reacts to the backlash surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s comments about Chinese leader Mao Zedong:
• Reporter: Zlatan, Kylian Mbappé is under heavy fire after laughing at a meme of himself as Mao Zedong and calling him a “Chinese dictator.” Chinese brands have dropped him, there’s outrage online, and he’s already apologised. What’s your take on all this?
🗣️Zlatan: Listen to me. The whole world spent months turning “dictator” into a joke about Mbappé. Memes, edits, captions, TikToks — everyone was laughing. People were putting his face on every strongman they could find and calling it content. Nobody cried then. Nobody demanded an apology. It was funny. It was free. It was fine.
Then Mbappé sees one of those same memes, laughs, and says something like “I think that’s a Chinese dictator.” Suddenly the same people who were happily making him the punchline start acting like he personally insulted 1.4 billion people. He was laughing at a joke about himself. Not attacking Chinese people. Not attacking their culture. Not attacking their nationality. He was reacting to a meme that already existed, the same meme everyone else had already been sharing for months.
Criticising a historical dictator is not the same as insulting Chinese people. Those are different things. If you can’t tell the difference between political criticism, a historical reference, and a footballer laughing at his own meme, that’s a you problem. Mao is a historical figure. Plenty of people outside China have opinions about him. That doesn’t mean Mbappé woke up one morning and decided to attack an entire country.
If the meme was fair game when random accounts were posting it, it was fair game when Mbappé laughed at it. You don’t get to encourage the mockery, then demand an apology the moment the person being mocked stops sitting there quietly and starts laughing too. That’s not principle.
That’s just selective outrage.
Mbappé is a footballer who saw a meme of himself and laughed. That’s it. The rest is people choosing to misunderstand humour because it fits whatever narrative they want that day. I don’t apologise for things that don’t need apologising for, and neither should he. If you spent months calling him a dictator for content, don’t start crying when he calls the actual historical figure a dictator in the same joke.
The people demanding an apology for a self-deprecating meme are the same ones who were posting the meme in the first place. Explain that one. I’ll wait.

🔴🔴🛰️ En bridant Starlink pour l’Ukraine, Trump et Musk voulaient montrer qui tient le bouton rouge de l’internet par satellite. Ils ont réussi mais pas comme ils l’espéraient.
Partout dans le monde, des chefs d'États soudainement pris conscience de leur dépendance aux technologies de Starlink et de leur vulnérabilité. Certains accélèrent pour ne plus jamais dépendre d’un milliardaire et protéger leur souveraineté.
Tour d’horizon.
👇👇👇
🇨🇦 CANADA
Ottawa a signé un contrat de 2,3 milliards de dollars canadiens avec l’opérateur national @Telesat pour étendre sa constellation Lightspeed, à l’origine un concurrent commercial de Starlink, désormais doté d’un volet militaire sécurisé.
🇫🇮 FINLANDE
Le finlandais @iceye_global et @nokia se sont alliés pour bâtir des communications satellitaires souveraines destinées aux gouvernements européens : une plateforme clé en main où chaque État possède et contrôle son propre réseau, chiffrement compris, sans dépendre d’un fournisseur étranger.
🇪🇺 UNION EUROPÉENNE
La Commission accélère IRIS², son réseau souverain. @Airbus fabrique les 66 premiers satellites en orbite basse et @thalesgroup Alenia Space, les charges utiles sécurisées pour les usages gouvernementaux. Le programme passe à 348 satellites, avec 4 milliards d’euros supplémentaires.
🇰🇷 CORÉE DU SUD
Le 6 octobre, la Corée a réussi son premier lancement orbital de l’année avec sa fusée nationale Nuri, depuis le centre de Naro. Quinze satellites embarqués, dont cinq de la constellation Neonsat, une capacité spatiale entièrement maîtrisée sur le sol national.
🇯🇵 JAPON
Tokyo débloque environ 930 millions de dollars pour un réseau satellitaire national de connexion directe aux smartphones, pensé pour les zones isolées et les régions sinistrées. Le projet associe @Rakuten et @AST_SpaceMobile.
🇺🇦 UKRAINE
Kyiv avance sur sa propre constellation. Le projet UASAT, porté par la société STETMAN, a engagé son processus réglementaire auprès de l’Union internationale des télécommunications. Un satellite-test, UASAT-NANO, doit ouvrir la voie à un réseau souverain ukrainien.
🇩🇪 ALLEMAGNE
Le 5 septembre, la fusée Spectrum de l’allemand Isar Aerospace a atteint l’orbite lors d'un lancement opéré depuis Andøya, en Norvège. L’Europe se dote enfin d’un accès autonome à l’espace, condition de toute indépendance satellitaire.
💡 Ce que cela dit
Évidemment, aucun de ces projets n’est né en une semaine. Plusieurs étaient engagés avant l’épisode Starlink mais tous disent la même chose, et l’épisode les a accélérés : plus jamais un seul homme, ni un seul pays, ne tiendra le bouton.
Car Musk et Trump ont rappelé au monde une vérité simple : celui qui contrôle vos communications contrôle votre avenir, en tant de paix comme en tant de guerre. En bridant Starlink au-dessus d’un pays en guerre, ils ont fait la démonstration la plus contreproductive qui soit et ont oeuvré de manière spectaculaire contre leurs propres intérêts.
Et c’est peut-être le paradoxe de cette présidence : à force de brandir la dépendance comme une arme, elle pousse ses alliés à s’émanciper.

BOMBA!
Isaiah Martin (democrata, candidato ao Congresso pelo Texas) afirmou no X que, no 1º dia de um eventual governo democrata, vai deportar Flávio Bolsonaro dos EUA.
“Nós o deportaremos no primeiro dia. Na verdade, deveríamos deixar o Brasil pegá-lo no meio da noite, de helicóptero!”, escreveu ele.
Martin ainda chamou a família Bolsonaro de “thugs” e “parasitas” e pediu que qualquer proteção paga com dinheiro americano seja cortada.
Contexto: Flávio deixou o Brasil após derrota eleitoral e ordem de Moraes para entregar os passaportes.

Giorgia Meloniová je prostě skvělá! 🇮🇹👏🏻
Matteo Salvini začal vykřikovat, že Itálie už nesmí posílat Ukrajině peníze a zbraně. Jenže narazil. Meloniová mu okamžitě zavolala a dala jasně najevo, že Itálie svůj postoj měnit nebude.
A Salvini? Najednou otočil a začal mluvit jinak.
Přesně takhle se jedná s těmi, kteří by nejraději nechali Ukrajinu napospas Putinovi. Žádné ústupky, žádné podlézání Kremlu!
Meloniová znovu ukázala, že podpora Ukrajiny a obrana evropské bezpečnosti nejsou otázkou pravice nebo levice, ale zásad.
Bravo, Giorgia! 🇮🇹🇺🇦

Am mai spus, Lazurcă este Elena lui Nicolae Ceauşescu.
Presedintele Nicușor Dan a iesit sa "condamne" actele rusesti de sabotaj de pe teritoriul României, dezvaluite de structurile de informatii ale statului roman, in colaborare cu cele europene.
În martie 2026, consilierul pentru securitate națională Marius Lazurca a declarat, în cadrul unui podcast și în interviuri publice, că din experiența sa profesională nu există dovezi ale unei rețele sau structuri pro-ruse penetrate în adâncimea instituțiilor statului român.
Asta in timp ce politicieni, jurnalisti, analisti, romani si straini, in anchete nenumarate si dezbateri interne si internationale avertizeaza de ani de zile că România se află sub un amplu atac hibrid din partea Federației Ruse, de la tentative de influențare a proceselor electorale, campaniile de dezinformare, război informațional, atacurile cibernetice și pana la, iata, acte de sabotaj pe teritoriul Romaniei.
Lazurca e in continuare consilier pe probleme de securitate nationala si are primul scaun, langa presedinte, in CSAT.

I know that Musk's fans are technologically illiterate and this story is totally beyond their limited brains.
For the rest of us and especially for Americans this should be concerning as hell.
The billionaire controlling a satellite network vital to US national security deliberately favored a foreign adversary in what amounts to an act of war in orbit.
I know a lot of republican congressmen are inbred cousinfuckers so they might not understand this but for the rest, this is an act of treason that should lead to prison.
Another note for SpaceX attorneys and PR: There was no need to issue an alert at all. Your own internal data showed a safe 2km pass. But you issued a 400m collision alert anyway. Why? Because the alert itself is the weapon. Issuing it triggered FCC Cond 16, legally freezing ICEYE so it couldn't dodge. STARLINK-35856 didn't use its auto-evasion. It just parked there and kept the false alarm blaring while Russia sprinted in. It wasn't an accident.

🚨 URGENTE: Um jornalista dos Estados Unidos informou que o secretário de Estado Marco Rubio teria garantido, por meio da CIA, uma transferência segura de Flávio Bolsonaro da Argentina para os Estados Unidos.
Caso essa informação se confirme, estaremos diante de um episódio gravíssimo. Uma possível interferência direta de autoridades norte-americanas na política e na Justiça brasileira, com sérias implicações para a soberania nacional.
O Brasil é um país soberano e nenhuma potência estrangeira pode se considerar acima das nossas instituições e da nossa Justiça!
