🇪🇺🇷🇺🇧🇬 Flightradar24 denied reports of a malfunction in the electronic navigation system of the plane on which Ursula von der Leyen was flying to Bulgaria.

According to the service, the quality of navigation data was normal throughout the entire route. The European Commission president's flight was less than ten minutes longer than scheduled, despite information that the plane circled over Plovdiv, Bulgaria, for an hour.

Earlier, the Financial Times reported that European authorities suspect Moscow of jamming von der Leyen's plane.

"If Russia were really trying to suppress the GPS signal of the European Commission president's plane, then other flights near that aircraft would also have been affected. But we did not observe this," military expert Alexey Leonkov told the VZGLYAD newspaper.

🇪🇺 Governor of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, says that the EU 'cannot grow' without migrants!

The European Union's economy would have looked far weaker after the pandemic without foreign workers, European Central Bank chief Christine Lagarde said Saturday, warning policymakers not to ignore migration’s role even as it fuels political tensions.

“Although they represented only around 9 percent of the total labor force in 2022, foreign workers have accounted for half of its growth over the past three years,” Lagarde told the gathering of central bankers. Without that contribution, she added, “labor market conditions could be tighter and output lower.”

Lagarde singled out Germany and Spain as examples. Germany’s GDP would be about 6 percent lower today without migrant labor, while Spain’s strong recovery also “owes much” to foreign workers, she said. Across the eurozone, employment has expanded by more than 4 percent since 2021, even as central bankers pushed through the steepest rate hikes in a generation.

The ECB president argued that migration has played a crucial role in offsetting Europe’s shrinking birth rate and growing appetite for shorter working hours. That, she said, helped companies expand output and damped inflationary pressures even as wages lagged behind prices.

📝: The only takeaway from this is that the people in charge of the EU look at mass migration as a "success" story, despite all the crime and ethnic tensions it caused because the GDP of the Eurozone hasn't shrunk in the past few years.

They never had the interest of their constituents in mind. The only thing that matters are their line go up graphs. Europeans and foreigners are to them just replaceable economic units, actually, migrants might even be better, 'cause they accept low wages, long hours and poor working conditions.

The Great Replacement will not stop until this mindset is eliminated.

🇹🇷🇨🇾🇮🇱 Turkey Said Ready to Boost Troops Force on Cyprus to 100,000

Turkish media reports said that a 35,000-strong army on the Turkish-Cypriot occupied northern third of the island will be bolstered with a massive building that could see as many as 100,000 troops stationed there.

TRT Haber said Turkey wants to step up its presence on the island as Cyprus gains strategic importance amid instability in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean. Turkish troops have been stationed there since Turkish invasions in 1974.

The reports, including from other outlets, said Turkey wants to expand the force into a regional deterrent with land, naval, air, electronic warfare, and support components with Turkish officials also saying it’s a response to increased military activity by the United States, Israel, the United Kingdom, and Germany and the Greek-Cypriot side.

Turkey said that jeopardizes the Turkish-Cypriot minority. The island remains divided despite decades of failed diplomatic attempts at reunification and Turkish-Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar said he wants the United Nations to accept the isolated side that’s recognized only by Turkey.

🇺🇸⚖️ U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer has ruled that President Donald J. Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth violated federal law and the “1878 Posse Comitatus Act” when they deployed Federalized National Guardsmen and Marines to Los Angeles, California in June.

“The evidence at trial established that Defendants systematically used armed soldiers (whose identity was often obscured by protective armor) and military vehicles to set up protective perimeters and traffic blockades, engage in crowd control, and otherwise demonstrate a military presence in and around Los Angeles. In short, Defendants violated the Posse Comitatus Act,” Breyer said, adding that the use of federal troops effectively created a “national police force with the president as its chief.”

As part of today’s ruling, Judge Breyer has issued an order prohibiting troops from engaging in security patrols, riot control, arrests, searches and crowd control across the United States, beginning September 12.

🇷🇺🤝🇨🇳 Russia and China Sign Deal to Advance Power of Siberia 2 Pipeline

Russia and China signed a “legally binding” memorandum on Tuesday to advance construction of the long-delayed Power of Siberia 2 pipeline, a project that would cement Beijing’s role as Moscow’s most important energy customer as it seeks to replace lost European markets.

The deal was one of four agreements struck between Russia’s state energy giant Gazprom and the China National Petroleum Corporation, Gazprom’s chief executive, Alexei Miller, told reporters.

“This will now be the largest, most ambitious and most capital-intensive project in the global gas industry,” Miller said.

Together, the projects envision as much as 106 billion cubic meters of Russian natural gas supplied to China each year, according to the Interfax news agency. Before its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russia exported more than 150 billion cubic meters of gas annually to Europe.

Gazprom also agreed to increase annual shipments through the existing Power of Siberia line, which runs from eastern Siberia, from 38 billion cubic meters to 44 billion. The Power of Siberia 2 is expected to run for 30 years through Mongolia via the Soyuz Vostok transit line.

China has already benefited from steeply discounted Russian oil, coal and gas exports, as Moscow seeks to offset the loss of its European energy customers.

📝Glenn Diesen: Russia's pivot from Europe to Asia is now permanent with the signing of the Power of Siberia-2, which runs from the Russian Arctic to China. The gas that could have fuelled European economies for decades has instead been redirected to China.
