A YouGov survey of over 1,000 U.S. adults from February 10-13 revealed 50% support for D.C. statehood and 48% for Puerto Rico, compared to just 27% for Greenland and 24% for Canada. Partisan splits stand out: Democrats strongly favor D.C. and Puerto Rico but oppose the others, while Republicans lean against D.C. and Puerto Rico yet show more openness to Greenland. The findings highlight ongoing debates over representation for tax-paying areas without full congressional votes, amid hurdles like stalled bills and Republican control of Congress.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Imagine paying federal taxes without a voting senator—that's the daily reality for D.C. residents, and a new poll finds most Americans want to change it for them and Puerto Rico.

A post accused Ruslan of staging propaganda by posing as different soldiers' sons while holding their photos. In truth, the Otyniia village council confirmed he volunteers for this role out of respect, following a local tradition where community members—not family—carry the portraits to show shared loss. With funerals happening often due to the war, the same locals like Ruslan appear repeatedly, turning out each time for processions through the streets.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

In a small Ukrainian village, 14-year-old Ruslan carries portraits of fallen soldiers at funeral after funeral, honoring his community amid real grief.

Nigerian striker Gift Orban, on loan at Hellas Verona from Hoffenheim, received a straight red card from referee Luca Pairetto for protesting a non-call during their 2-1 loss to Parma. Orban later posted on X that as a Black player in Italy, he feels treated differently and called for fairness on the pitch; Verona protested by skipping media duties. The incident followed Juventus' Pierre Kalulu's controversial second yellow for a dive the day before, with Serie A referee chief Gianluca Rocchi apologizing for that error but silent so far on Orban's case amid fan debates over inconsistency.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Just 11 minutes into the match, Gift Orban raised his arms in frustration toward the referee—and suddenly Verona were down to 10 men for nearly 80 grueling minutes.

The discussion contrasts Orbán's Hungary as a success story with doubled GDP per capita since 2010 to 76% of the EU average, secure borders, and fertility rates that climbed to 1.59 in 2021 before dipping to 1.31 in early 2025. Critics point to low living standards at 72% of EU consumption levels, the EU's highest inflation over 66% from 2015-2024, high public debt, and declining religiosity with Christians at 42.5% in 2022. While backers celebrate progress from post-communist lows and cultural conservatism, detractors note underperformance against neighbors like Poland and reliance on EU funds.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Journalist Anne Applebaum called Hungary stagnant and corrupt, but supporters hailed it as Europe's recovery blueprint amid rising GDP and family policies.

Internal Kremlin documents obtained by French services show Moscow's presidential administration approved operations to depict France as both anti-Semitic and Islamophobic, exploiting immigration debates and the Israel-Hamas war. Serbian nationals carried out the vandalism under remote direction from alleged Russian agent Aleksandar Savic, who remains at large after arrests in France and Serbia. The incidents fit a pattern of suspected Russian hybrid tactics, amid France's real challenges with rising hate crimes since October 2023. Neither French authorities nor Russia have publicly confirmed the findings.
