The army will turn its weapons against the Kremlin: Russian veteran detained after threatening Putin with mutiny

A Russian veteran named Alexandre Lounine was administratively punished after posting online videos in which he threatened President Vladimir Putin with a military coup if he did not meet with him. The videos, viewed millions of times on social media platforms like Instagram—which are banned in Russia—alleged widespread violence and extortion within the Russian army and demanded direct communication with Putin. Lounine, who served on the front lines in Ukraine, was detained by authorities in Voronezh region and faced up to 15 days in prison for displaying 'extremist symbols.' His wife claimed their home had been searched while he was traveling to Moscow. The Kremlin’s spokesperson described his remarks as having 'strange formulations,' but did not confirm whether Putin had seen the video.

It's like being in Medellín : In Marseille, an investigation opened after the release of a video of gunfire

The article reports on an investigation launched in Marseille after the circulation of a video showing individuals firing weapons from a building courtyard. The footage was filmed in the Rosiers neighborhood, known for drug trafficking, and appears to have been part of a rap music video shoot. The authenticity of the firearms used in the video has not been confirmed. The incident reflects a trend among Marseille-based drug traffickers who use social media platforms to showcase their power, similar to a previous viral 'statement' by the DZ Mafia in October 2024. Other such videos have since circulated on Telegram and Snapchat, causing unrest in northern neighborhoods.

Narchomicides, shootings, drug addiction in broad daylight: Nantes in the spiral of the Marseillisation

The article discusses an increase in violent incidents in Nantes, France, including shootings and drug-related crimes, linking them to a trend referred to as 'marseillization'—a term suggesting the influence of Marseille's criminal networks. It highlights five fatal shootings in two months, including a minor, and notes that these incidents are attributed to escalating conflicts among drug trafficking groups. The latest shooting, involving a 19-year-old, appears to have been a dispute between drivers rather than a gang-related killing, raising concerns about the normalization of gun violence. Local authorities and union representatives express alarm over the growing casualness of armed violence.

Bias read (Right): The article frames the rise in violence as a consequence of organized crime and drug trafficking, which aligns with conservative narratives emphasizing law and order. The emphasis on the 'marseillization' narrative suggests a concern over urban decay and criminal infiltration, often associated with左
