Just few days Donal Trump left the white hous, coincidence?

There are riots going on in the Dutch city of Eindhoven at the moment. They say it's against the COVID-19 restrictions, but it's not even a week since Donald Trump left the White House...coincidence?

Interesting take on Joe Biden potentially starting a war with Facebook.

 

Obviously Biden won't start a war with Wall Street, can he start one vs Silicon Valley's poster child Zuckerberg? Legalised censorship on the way? It was fun for librals to ban Trump's social media accounts, let's see how they spin the potential ban on casual FB users?

Another reality check for Joe Biden when it comes to COVID vaccines. He was forced to change his original goal after media pointed out he only mirrors the number of vaccines under Trump so Biden's goal isn't anything special to brag about :roflmao:

There is a big rumour about the installation of a rusian military base :facepalm:

Not happy to be a chinese colony, we will be a rusian one too.

Considering that Biden is expected to care much more about South America than Trump who didn't do much other than tell them not to work with China, and the first Biden-Putin call shows pretty clear changes from Trump (towards a tougher line), I would find it rather interesting to consider it due to the new administration.

The so-called "much more care" isn't just about lip service, it means real money. Of course Biden is much more anti-Russia compared to Trump, but in terms of lip service that two administrations won't do much difference. Not only Latin America but also all countries should put its own interests at first priority, breaking the contract is not costless despite of new administration.

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
