PHONES BEFORE 13 LINKED TO WORSE MENTAL HEALTH LATER, A study of over 100,000 young adults found kids who got smartphones early had higher rates of depression, low self-worth and suicidal thoughts. Nearly half of girls who had phones by age 5 or 6 reported severe suicidal thoughts compared to 28% who got them at 13 or older. Researchers say delaying smartphones until 14 and social media until 16 could help prevent long-term damage. Source: Good Morning America

If Europeans were paying attention (or being told the truth), they should be beyond appalled by this “deal, It’s nothing more than one of the most expensive imperial tributes in history.

I’m not even exaggerating, that IS the deal: the EU gets nothing. This does not even remotely ressemble the type of agreements made by two equal sovereign powers. It rather looks like the type of unequal treaties that colonial powers used to impose in the 19th century – except this time, Europe is on the receiving end. More worryingly, this sets a dynamic and a precedent: what do you think happens next from here? In the 19th century, were colonial powers content with their first unequal treaty? Of course not – one of the key rules of geopolitics is that weakness only encourages further exploitation. Again, this is Europe’s century of humiliation.
