O trumpismo e a paz por meio da força
Donald Trump está se empenhando em deixar como seu legado uma doutrina que, como princípio orientador, busca reposicionar os Estados Unidos como o detentor do poder militar absoluto e do desprezo pelo multilateralismo.

How Technology Shapes How We Move, Speak, and Think
From hands to feet, voice to vision, our digital tools extend, transform, and sometimes erase the human body. By Vanessa Chang The influential computer scientist Mark Weiser once wrote that “a good tool is an invisible tool. By invisible, I mean that the tool does not intrude on your consciousness; you focus on the task, not the tool.” By this definition, many of our digital tools seem to have succeeded completely; they liberate our bodies by becoming invisible to users.

Trumpism and Peace through Strength
Donald Trump is striving to leave his doctrine as his legacy to the world, which, as a guiding principle, seeks to reposition the United States as the holder of absolute military power and to disparage multilateralism.

Peru After the Soft Coup
Image via X By Jaime Bravo and Jorge Coulon Dina Boluarte’s removal from office is not a victory for the people, but an internal readjustment of power.
