Explains Trump frantically trying to get Ukraine to stop Operation Tidal Wave II, doesn’t it? Putin desperately offering shares in them to his family and friends, if he can make Zelenskyy end the drone bombing campaign…

European leaders have been unable to explain why releasing oil reserves just before a risky winter with likely supply disruptions due to the Iran War will help their citizens. They should just be honest: they felt they had no choice but to surrender to 🇺🇸extortion.

Yet again, Europe has surrendered to Trump
Yesterday leaders caved to Trump’s demand that they release Europe’s oil reserves ahead of a risky winter, to lower US energy prices before the midterm election.

This is Oleg Levushkin. He is Russian terrorist who was given the access to the civilized world. He planted bombs in Leipzig airport. This is exactly the reason why Russians should not be allowed in Europe.

The last Trump-Kushner-Witkoff “peace plan” for Russia-Ukraine had more on data center construction opportunities than on security guarantees that could make peace last. This time it’s an oil deal. The whole effort has been trying to sell out Ukraine for personal profit and neo-fascist solidarity.

New lowest figure I have seen for the purchase of wheat directly from Russian farmers. In the northern parts of Rostov they are selling at 3 000 rubles per ton. That's between 25-30% of the production cost for the 2026 harvest.

Tauschen wir das Wort "Klimaschutz" doch mal gegen das aus, was es tatsächlich bedeutet: "Die Bewohnbarkeit des Planeten retten".

Dann klingen viele Aussagen von Politikern so verrückt, wie sie tatsächlich sind.

"Die Bewohnbarkeit des Planeten darf nicht auf Kosten des Wirtschaftswachstums gehen."

"Man kann die Bewohnbarkeit des Planeten nicht gegen den Willen der Menschen erzwingen."

"Die Bewohnbarkeit des Planeten ist wichtig, aber von Verboten halte ich nichts."

"Die überbordende Sicherung der Bewohnbarkeit des Planeten kostet Geld, das wir nicht haben."

After seizing Auchan, Nestlé and Leroy Merlin, Putin today seized Russian assets of German retailer Metro AG as well. That’s the price of staying in Russia after 2022, calling it “neutrality,” and paying taxes that helped bankroll the war. Zero sympathy.

The plan for the war is to the lie to the public about the war. This sometimes leads to ridiculous things, like the president announcing that Iran wants to lower gas and diesel prices but he won't let them, and telling the Iranians that they're right to see the upcoming US midterms as leverage.
