VW turns down heating and hands out jackets

"Due to skyrocketing energy prices, Volkswagen is turning down the heating at the plant, cooling the production halls down to 17 degrees. To prevent employees from getting cold, VW is distributing fleece jackets and warm clothing in return.

VW is not alone in this; the warehouse technology company Jungheinrich is also distributing fleece jackets, reports Handelsblatt.

"The Berlin police also turn down the heating, cooling the office down to the minimum required by occupational health and safety laws - that's 17 degrees in the office, but only 12 degrees for heavy physical work!"

🇺🇦 The Armed Forces of Ukraine report failures in the work of Starlink on the front line, writes the Financial Times, citing high-ranking Ukrainian officials.

It is reported that some devices stopped working after our soldiers de-occupied part of the Ukrainian territories. Outages and outages have led to catastrophic loss of communications in recent weeks.

So far, there are no official comments on the reasons for the disruption of Starlink systems.

American leaders are “making idiots of” Europe over Ukraine, Irish MEP Mick Wallace argued

Ireland’s leaders are “promoting and loving” the “US-NATO proxy war” in Ukraine, while the European Union does nothing to bring an end to the fighting, Irish MEP Mick Wallace declared in a radio interview on Friday.

“Fianna Fail and Fine Gael have been promoting this war, and are loving this war,” Wallace told South East Radio, referring to the two major partners in Ireland’s coalition government. Many lawmakers in both parties, he continued, have “lost the plot.”

Of course, the German commanders were brilliant in their own right, and they frequently turned the tables on the Soviets in the same fashion. A New Conception of War makes specific reference to such a case – one I believe is particularly apropos to ongoing events in Ukraine:
One example Boyd provided of using terrain as a medium for mentally unhinging an enemy, and not simply as a military objective in itself, came from Field Marshal Erich von Manstein’s “Donetz counterstroke” against the Soviet Red Army in World War II. Manstein deliberately took a “long step backward,” giving up large swathes of territory to make the Soviets overconfident and overextended. When Manstein finally counterattacked, the surprise caused complete mental and moral disorientation on the part of the Russians, netting Manstein all the territory he had voluntarily surrendered and, more important, large numbers of Russian prisoners. https://imetatronink.substack.com/p/maneuver-warfare?publication_id=1085164&post_id=76488977&isFreemail=true

Igor Murashov, the general director of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, admitted that he had passed information to Kyiv about what was happening at the plant. He stressed that he was aware that the shelling was coming from the Ukrainian troops.

Murashov also admitted that he forbade the team from publishing an appeal to the UN and the IAEA demanding that they stop the shelling. He did this because such appeals could "hurt the state interests of Ukraine."

A FORMER US MARINE CORPS OFFICER'S ANALYSIS OF THE UKRAINE WAR


"The term reyd found its way into the Russian military lexicon in the late 19th century by theorists who noted the similarities between the independent cavalry operations of the American Civil War and the already well-established Russian practice of sending mobile columns, often composed of Cossacks, on extended excursions through enemy territory."

the practice is ancient, as old as horse based warfare itself
