The World from Berlin: Obama's Euro-Crisis Lecture Is 'Pitiful and Sad'

US President Obama has given the Europeans a harsh lecture on the dangers of their ongoing debt crisis. Offended by the unsolicited advice, Europeans have suggested the US get its own house in order first. Obama's remarks were "arrogant" and "absurd," German commentators say on Wednesday. Europeans are well aware of the seriousness of their ongoing debt crisis. But they don't, it seems, like to receive lectures from other countries -- especially the United States, which is struggling to deal with its own mountain of debt. On Tuesday, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble curtly rejected recent American criticism of Europe's approach to solving its ...

(Reuters) - Pakistan warned the United States on Tuesday to stop accusing it of playing a double game with Islamist militants and heaped praise on "all-weather friend" China. Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani, speaking exclusively to Reuters, said any unilateral military action by the United States to hunt down militants of the Haqqani network inside Pakistan would be a violation of his country's sovereignty. However, he side-stepped questions on the tense relations with the United States and offered no indications of any steps Pakistan might take to soothe the fury in Washington. The outgoing chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, last week described ...

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has warned opponents and government officials against dissent ahead of Vladimir Putin’s plan to regain the presidency, one day after Medvedev fired finance minister Alexei Kudrin. Last week, Medvedev agreed to swap jobs with Putin after presidential elections next March, spurring a wave of criticism against Putin having too much power. Putin, who leads the dominant United Russia Party, is almost guaranteed of victory – which means that, as the presidential terms have been extended to six years from four, he could rule Russia until the year 2024. Medvedev has also threatened action against politicians who oppose his program of increased defense ...

One of two US hikers freed from an Iranian jail where they were held for more than two years on charges of spying and illegal entry, has an Israeli father, Haaretz newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Beyond the police roadblocks that mark the no-go zone around Japan’s wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant, six-foot tall weeds invade rice paddies and vines gone wild strangle road signs along empty streets. Takako Harada, 80, returned to an evacuated area of Iitate village to retrieve her car. Beside her house is an empty cattle pen, the 100 cows slaughtered on government order after radiation from the March 11 atomic disaster saturated the area, forcing 160,000 people to move away and leaving some places uninhabitable for two decades or more. “Older folks want to return, but the young worry about radiation,” said Harada, whose family ran the farm for 40 years. “I want to ...

blasted Barack Obama's speech to the United Nations as "gibberish" on Monday, saying the US president used a rambling address to justify the "unjustifiable." In his first published column since July, the 85-year-old revolutionary icon slammed US and NATO intervention in Libya as "monstrous crimes" and said Obama -- whom he called the "yankee president" -- used a bully pulpit at the UN General Assembly last week to try and sway global opinion. Fidel, who handed the presidency to his younger brother Raul Castro in 2006 due to a health crisis, has laid low in recent months, and his column published in state media was his first since July 3.

Tribal connection - racial, ethnic, and religious - are becoming more important than borders.

For centuries we have used the maps to establish the boundaries that defined policy. But it is time to abandon many of our concepts of self-organization of mankind. The revival of tribal relations in the world leads to a more complex global alliances. Where once defined the boundaries of diplomacy today, history, race, ethnicity, and culture divide humanity into new dynamic group. General concepts - "Green" movement, the socialists and the ideology of market capitalism - can inspire cosmopolitan elite, but for most people this is not enough motivation. As the once great Arab historian Ibn Khaldun, "only the tribes, held together a group feeling that can survive in the ...

Asian and European stocks spiral downward. The Dow Jones industrial average plunges almost 400 points toward its worst week since the depths of Wall Street's collapse in 2008. Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

Karl Denninger, who forecasted the breakdown in stock markets a couple of weeks before the crash of 2008, says that all hell is now breaking loose: You’ve once again had your 401k and IRA whacked by the incessant lies and scams promulgated by your government and the “financial wizards” who seduced you back into the markets with half-truths and siren songs. The market opened this morning down 300+ DOW points and the VIX slammed through the 40 level. There will clearly be bounces along the line but as things stand right now the underlying financial conditions have not changed one iota from where they were in 2007. Instead of allowing those who were overlevered to go bust and ...

Two chatbots forget the etiquette of avoiding religion, sex or politics in conversation when two PhD students at Cornell University introduced the pair to eachother. Cornell University researchers Jason Yosinski and Igor Labutov rigged up a chatbot system to allow online avatars to talk to each other. Chatbots are designed to emulate the conversational abilities of humans, usually in an attempt to pass the Turing Test for intelligence. Alan Turing in his 1950 paper proposed that if a computer could fool a sufficiently adept human while conversing with them into thinking that the machine is another human, that computer could be then called intelligent. However, the conversation rapidly ...
