Boris Johnson acusó a Putin por el ataque de drones rusos: “El dictador se está volviendo cada vez más histérico”

Published

El ex primer ministro británico Boris Johnson quedó en medio de una situación de máxima tensión mientras viajaba en tren desde Ucrania hacia Polonia. Durante la madrugada de ayer, los guardias que lo acompañaban lo despertaron para advertirle que debía prepararse para una posible evacuación, luego de que un dron ruso atacara otro tren de pasajeros que circulaba detrás del suyo.

El ataque ocurrió en Volinia, a poco más de un kilómetro y medio de la frontera con Polonia. El episodio llevó a Johnson a cuestionar duramente la estrategia de Vladimir Putin y a acusar al líder ruso de recurrir a ataques de “estilo terrorista”.

En declaraciones a GB News, el exjefe de Gobierno británico sostuvo que, si el ataque buscaba enviar algún tipo de mensaje, no había conseguido su objetivo. Según planteó, el episodio forma parte de un comportamiento cada vez más desesperado por parte de Putin. “Estamos viendo un patrón de comportamiento por parte del dictador ruso que se está volviendo cada vez más histérico”, afirmó.

El ex primer ministro también apuntó contra los ataques a la infraestructura ucraniana y, particularmente, contra el sistema ferroviario. “Creo que el número de ataques contra los ferrocarriles ucranianos en los últimos seis meses ha sido mayor que en los últimos cuatro años; hay que ver lo que pasó el fin de semana en ese contexto”, señaló.

La advertencia que recibió Johnson durante el viaje

El episodio ocurrió alrededor de las 5 de la mañana de ayer. Johnson estaba durmiendo en el tren cuando los guardias lo despertaron y le indicaron que debía prepararse para una evacuación.

Durante la entrevista, Andrew Pierce le planteó a Johnson que la posibilidad de “eliminar” a un ex primer ministro británico representaría un importante golpe de efecto para Rusia, en momentos en que el país intensifica su ofensiva en Ucrania.

Johnson respondió que quienes viajaban en el tren no habían sido conscientes en ese momento de que podían representar un objetivo. Para el ex primer ministro, lo ocurrido debe ser interpretado dentro de una estrategia más amplia de Moscú para generar temor entre los ucranianos.

“Es un síntoma de su intento desquiciado de intimidar a la población ucraniana. Hay que contextualizar lo que haya sucedido con lo que haya intentado hacer en la frontera polaca dentro del marco de su trato absolutamente cruel e inhumano hacia los ciudadanos ucranianos”, sostuvo.

Johnson fue todavía más contundente al describir la situación: “Este tipo está completamente a la defensiva. Está perdiendo un número récord de hombres y está recurriendo a ataques terroristas contra el heroico personal de los ferrocarriles ucranianos; eso es lo que está sucediendo”, expresó.

El-Sayed’s liberal agenda clashes with Muslim voters who back him anyway: ‘Male version’ of Ilhan Omar

DETROIT, MICHIGAN — Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, faces a striking disconnect among some Muslim voters who oppose his positions on abortion and LGBTQ issues yet say they plan to vote for him anyway.

«He is a Democrat with a Muslim mask,» one attendee of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) Convention, who requested anonymity to avoid social reprisals, told Fox News Digital. «Basically he’s like Ilhan Omar, but like a male version.»

He went on to say that, while he takes objection to El-Sayed’s positions on abortion and LGBTQ rights, he «want[s] him to get elected» to improve his community’s «representation.»

Fox News Digital was on the ground at the Islamic Society of North America’s annual conference in Detroit over Labor Day weekend, where El-Sayed delivered the marquee speech amid controversy over past remarks by some conference speakers. The episode has added scrutiny to El-Sayed’s ties to the organization and the political coalition surrounding his campaign.

In total, Fox News Digital spoke to about 10 attendees at the conference, some of whom requested anonymity or declined to be recorded but agreed to speak on background. Several described a tension between their personal views on social issues and their support for El-Sayed, particularly on abortion and LGBTQ issues.

El-Sayed supports codifying Roe v. Wade into law, funding Planned Parenthood, establishing LGBTQ-inclusive sex education and allowing doctors to perform sex-change operations on children. Islamic theology generally takes a more restrictive view of abortion, gender and sexuality, though interpretations vary among Muslims.

Another attendee, a Navy veteran, told Fox News Digital that he strongly opposes El-Sayed’s positions on issues like abortion and LGBTQ sex education, but feels like the Republican Party has let him down following the 2024 election.

«I voted for Donald Trump. When it comes to values, I’m a Republican. But unfortunately they have betrayed us,» he said.

He pointed to the Trump administration’s involvement in foreign wars and cost-of-living concerns as the issues pushing him to support El-Sayed despite the Democrat’s liberal beliefs. Multiple attendees who spoke to Fox News Digital at the conference, including some who declined to be interviewed on the record, said they voted for Trump in 2024 but were planning on supporting El-Sayed in the midterms.

MICHIGAN SENATE RACE: EL-SAYED’S TIES TO EXTREMIST FUEL ANTISEMITISM CONCERNS AMONG JEWISH VOTERS

«We’re concerned about where our tax dollars are going to. A lot of these tax dollars are going to support foreign wars, support countries that aren’t the United States,» Zubin, a long-time El-Sayed supporter, told Fox News Digital. «So I think these are the main issues that resonate not just with the Muslim voters but the everyday voter in all of Michigan.»

President Donald Trump’s support for Israel and his military operations in Iran have become growing points of concern for some voters, with polls showing rising dissatisfaction over U.S. involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts.

Trump did uncharacteristically well for a Republican among Michigan Arab Americans in 2024. If support for the GOP slides heavily with that demographic in November, it could spell trouble for the party’s Senate prospects. Republicans, however, are seeking to pick off disaffected Jewish Democrats to gain an edge themselves.

Some attendees who spoke with Fox News Digital were shocked to learn about El-Sayed’s support for abortion and LGBTQ rights.

«Wait, he’s supporting LGBTQ?» one conference attendee, who requested to remain anonymous for social reasons, told Fox News Digital. «I don’t really think that’s good, especially because this is Islam and it prohibits LGBTQ and I do really think that people should abandon … abortion since they’re taking a life away.»

The attendee said he believes if El-Sayed’s social views were more widely known in the Islamic community, his support might decline. Others said they believe the importance of social views among Muslims is dependent on generation.

«So yes, Abdul El-Sayed, maybe his views when it comes to these things, maybe more similar to mine as compared to our parents, our grandparents, yes, with those generations. There may be a little bit of friction, but this is natural,» Zubin said. «I do think, yes, these are probably going to be talking points within the Muslim community.»

Some individuals who spoke to Fox News Digital acknowledged that the Islamic community has some deeply held conservative beliefs, but argued that the community will be able to look past that come November.

«He’s gonna be great for education, and he’s gonna be great for medical,» Fauzi, who was attending the conference, told Fox News Digital. «5-10% of the issues, people may differ. But we have to look at the big picture [and] how he can be impactful for the state of Michigan, the country at large, and all of us here.»

A handful of attendees who spoke with Fox News Digital said that their community would be excited if a Muslim Republican ran in their state, while others stressed that the party’s reputation could hamper its ability to appeal to Arab Americans.

«Yes, if you’re a good person, a good politician and running for the Republican party and you believe in your values and that you can do good, go ahead and run and I’m sure you can win a lot of support from this community as well,» Zubin said.

«I think it’s very difficult for a Muslim to run as a Republican because frankly a lot of Republican voters do tend to have a strong bias against us,» another attendee, who requested to remain anonymous, told Fox News Digital.

The El-Sayed campaign did not respond to a request for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Tuesday.

DSA-backed candidates are winning primaries and their vision for America is very different

Published

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The Democratic Socialists of America is seeking to reshape some of the most basic features of the U.S. economy — from who owns major corporations to how long Americans work and whether families pay for healthcare, college and housing.

The agenda is drawing renewed scrutiny after DSA-backed candidates gained ground in the 2026 midterm primaries and progressive socialism became a central Republican target at the GOP’s first-ever midterm convention in Dallas.

Below are some of the biggest economic proposals in the platform.

Public ownership of major corporations and industries

DSA calls for public ownership of major corporations and essential industries, arguing public ownership would give Americans greater democratic control over the economy.

Adam Lehodey, a policy expert at the Manhattan Institute, said nationalizing major corporations would cost billions of dollars and shift accountability from customers to government officials.

He argued nationalized industries have historically suffered from waste, corruption and lower productivity, adding that reducing regulations would be a better way to encourage competition.

A 32-hour workweek with full pay

DSA also wants to establish a 32-hour workweek without reducing workers’ pay or benefits, effectively giving full-time employees an additional day away from work while preserving their compensation.

The proposal is paired with a living minimum wage, paid family leave and stronger protections for workers to form unions and strike.

The agenda does not explain how a shorter workweek would be implemented across industries or how businesses would be expected to absorb the additional labor costs.

Lehodey said a 32-hour workweek without higher productivity could increase labor costs and reduce economic output.

Universal healthcare, housing and education

Among DSA’s biggest proposals are universal healthcare, publicly owned social housing, free public education through college and cancellation of all student debt.

Together, the proposals would shift a much larger share of healthcare, housing and education costs from individuals to the federal government.

A Cato Institute analysis estimated that a Medicare-for-All-style healthcare system alone could increase federal spending by between $40 trillion and $75 trillion over a decade, though the estimate is not specific to DSA’s proposal.

Higher taxes on wealthy Americans and corporations

DSA says wealthy Americans and large corporations should shoulder more of the cost of its vision.

The platform calls for «aggressive wealth taxes» on the richest individuals and corporations, with the proceeds directed toward public goods and infrastructure.

Lehodey questioned whether wealthy taxpayers alone could finance the agenda, arguing broader taxpayers would likely bear some of the cost.

DSA’s platform does not estimate the total cost of its agenda or how much revenue its proposed tax increases would generate.

En la restitución de la democracia no olvidemos que “los hechos criminales no producen derecho”

Published

on



La suplantación del estado de derecho por el terrorismo de Estado para institucionalizar las dictaduras del socialismo del siglo 21 en Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia y Nicaragua ha sido hecha con una larga cadena de delitos como falsificaciones, masacres, violación de derechos humanos, extorsiones, usurpaciones, atribuirse los derechos el pueblo, traición y más, dando lugar a constituciones, leyes y un sistema resultado del crimen. En estas condiciones, en la restitución de la democracia es imprescindible recordar que los hechos criminales no producen Derecho, son nulos.

El principio fundamental del derecho “ex injuria ius non oritur” que significa “de lo ilegal no nace el derecho”, resume uno de los pilares básicos del estado de derecho por el que “ningún acto ilegal, delito o violación de la ley puede generar una situación jurídica valida o conferir derechos a quien cometió la infracción”. Es el fundamento para evitar legitimar la delincuencia, el delito y sus frutos.

Advertisement

Cualquier producto del delito es nulo y la “nulidad en Derecho es la situación de invalidez del acto jurídico que provoca que una norma o acto deje de desplegar sus efectos jurídicos”. Lo nulo nace muerto, no puede ser confirmado y solo rige -en el caso de los sistemas jurídicos del socialismo del siglo 21- porque fueron impuestos por la fuerza y la violencia, por el delito.

El socialismo del siglo 21 ha expandido el modelo dictatorial de Cuba reemplazando los elementos esenciales de la democracia por el terrorismo de Estado, la concentración del poder, el centralismo, la impunidad, el sistema de dictadura electoralista en el que pueblo vota pero no elige y los narcoestados como modelo de control delictivo. Por eso hoy Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua son países con estructuras jurídicas que violan la libertad y los derechos humanos, que no tienen estado de derecho, que simulan separación e independencia de poderes, que impiden la libre organización política y que han institucionalizado el fraude electoral.

La estructura jurídica impuesta por el socialismo del siglo 21 o castrochavismo es uniforme en las Américas. Se trata de la concentración total del poder con proclama de soberanía, de la usurpación de la soberanía nacional con declaración de populismo, de la violación de derechos humanos con rótulo de liberación, de la formulación de un sistema jurídico violando el derecho y sin justicia. Los sistemas constitucionales y jurídicos que hoy tienen Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia y Nicaragua no son derecho ni justicia porque simplemente no son legales, son el resultado de delitos y están destinados a proteger el crimen.

Advertisement

Los delitos para suplantar o reemplazar la estructura jurídica democrática por la dictatorial son falsificaciones, usurpación de poder, persecuciones y violaciones de derechos humanos, masacres sangrientas y en el caso de Cuba fusilamientos, acusaciones falsas, presos políticos, tortura, exilio, confiscaciones, destituciones, cesación arbitraria de mandatos, uso de la fuerza, violencia, extorsiones, atribuirse los derechos del pueblo y más. Cada país víctima tiene un compendio de los crímenes y la prueba está en sus actuales sistemas jurídicos y en cómo fueron impuestos.

El tiempo de esta ignominia de más de 67 años en Cuba, más de 26 en Venezuela, más de 20 en Bolivia y más de 19 Nicaragua ha llevado a los ciudadanos -sobre todo a los más jóvenes- al sometimiento, a la indefensión, a percibir la infamia como normalidad. Ha producido un cambio de conducta en las sociedades, desplazando los principios y valores democráticos y republicanos por posturas permisivas e incluso delictivas para simplemente sobrevivir o tener éxito. Por eso en tiempos de cambio para restituir la democracia es vital identificar con claridad el delito y quitarle el barniz de normalidad.

La restitución de la democracia consiste en reestablecer como mínimo el sistema jurídico con los elementos esenciales de la democracia y eliminar los elementos de la dictadura que los suplantan. Mientras existan constituciones y leyes castrochavistas vigentes en Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia y Nicaragua no habrá democracia y quienes lleguen al gobierno serán meros operadores de un sistema delictivo.

Advertisement

Las constituciones y sistemas jurídicos impuestos con delitos, con fuerza y violencia son ahora defendidos usando el miedo. Quienes están interesados en sostenerlos asustan a la gente con la supuesta inseguridad jurídica que traería el retorno al sistema del estado de Derecho, argumentando que todo lo actuado en el tiempo del sistema delictivo impuesto sería nulo en el ámbito civil o comercial, lo que simplemente no es cierto. Usan este argumento proponiendo reformar el sistema impuesto delictivamente, lo que legalizaría el resultado del crimen al ser usado como base de tal reforma.

En cada uno de los países afectados –Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua– el iter criminis de la imposición por el socialismo del siglo 21 de constituciones, enmiendas, reformas y leyes que han construido su sistema jurídico, tiene delitos y tiempos específicos con una metodología y objetivo común. Son hechos criminales con los que han creado constituciones y leyes que para retornar a la democracia, no son ni pueden considerarse como Derecho.
