🇬🇧🇦🇱 - British Albanian international superstar Dua Lipa refused to make selfie using fan's phone once she realized that it was an Android. Took another fan's iPhone to make photo instead.

Whenever you see or hear about people wanting to break off into even smaller pieces of territory -- my mind immediately races to Jewish ploys.

Certain power groups think it's a viable idea to 'balkanize' territory in order to later absorb it.

This act - in theory is relatively simple. Solidify minority base, ferment division, amplify visual evidence of the minority base and demand concessions. Rinse and repeat until the entity is torn apart.

The part where the theory breaks down is the absorption process. The local power players believe they have the chaos under control, but what they fail to foresee is the expansion of the power vacuum beyond intended demarcations.

Unintentionally inviting larger and more powerful entities that swallow everything.

🇬🇷 — Greek Defence Minister Nikos Dendias has announced a major shift in Greece’s defence strategy, revealing plans to deploy mobile missile systems across hundreds of Aegean islands. The move is aimed at strengthening deterrence and expanding defensive coverage amid rising regional tensions.

We Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria PP-DB, a center right, liberal, pro-EU and self declared Atlanticists party has taken credit for the recent (and future) protests.

PP-DB had controversies earlier this year on corruption allegations that saw PP co-leader Kiril Petkov resign as MP despite being an anti-corruption party.

PP-DB also has notable ties with the Movement for Rights and Freedoms who advocates for minority rights and is headed by a controversial Delyan Peevski.

I can see why some Bulgarians are saying these protests are irrelevant.

A party which has a controversial history, with controversial 'allies', which had a shot at governing and was criticized for corruption and ineptitude -- came out and promoted a protest for a no confidence vote which would give it a shot at increasing its influence.

The elephants in the room (people like kovachki) are not even discussed.
