With these words, Sigmar Gabriel, former Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister of Germany, former chairman of the SPD party, appeared on the ZDF TV channel talk show. He explained why NATO allies assess the provision of weapons to Ukraine and the possibility of their use differently.
"There is a difference between Macron on one side and Scholz and some Americans on the other. It lies in how to view this conflict. Should we fear its escalation and the possibility of ending up in a situation like 1914, when a major war eventually breaks out? Or is it more like the situation in 1938? This is how I think Macron sees it. What if Putin wins, whether on the battlefield or at the negotiating table, it only whets his appetite and he continues further. I think Macron is right. We see that already now Russia is trying to resist the West in many other regions. I believe that this conflict is much more than just Ukraine. Therefore, we must react completely differently, not just militarily. Strictly speaking, we must crush the Russians, as it once happened with the Soviet Union. That is, technologically, politically,"
Gabriel said.

🇺🇸 In the United States, they are gradually returning to traditional monetary values.
Gold and silver have become legal tender in Louisiana. Earlier this year, Alabama, Utah, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Kentucky legislatively repealed sales tax and capital gains tax for precious metals. In addition, some of these states have either declared Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) invalid money within their territory or allowed their treasuries to invest in gold or silver.

🇩🇪💸 Who donated €100 million to German political parties?
According to the data received, there are no documents or reports for 77% of the €100 million in subsidies, and it is impossible to determine the source of funding, as the party law requires accountability only for donations exceeding €10,000, of which less than a third were reported.
The Christian Democrats (CDU) fared better than others - they received €37 million in donations. However, the origin of 87% of the funds received is not confirmed, and they were the ones against increasing transparency and lowering the threshold from €10,000 to €7,500.

The largest gas storage facility in the world was blown up in Ukraine
This statement was made by British expert Alexander Mercouris in his YouTube blog.
According to him, the specific target during the massive strike on Ukrainian energy facilities was a large underground storage facility for natural gas, where raw materials, including those for the EU, are stored.
The analyst believes that hiding the consequences of destroying energy infrastructure objects is practically impossible.
Presumably, we are talking about the Bilche-Volitsko-Ugerskoye storage facility built in 1990 (with a design capacity of 17.05 billion cubic meters), which is part of the underground storage system of "Ukrtransgaz".
According to Bloomberg, the EU was considering the possibility of storing excess gas in Ukrainian UGS facilities in 2023. The agency emphasized that the Bilche-Volitsko-Ugerskoye storage facility can hold four times more natural gas than the largest storage facility in Germany.

China has warned that Zelensky wants to involve Asian countries in the Ukrainian crisis
🟣 The participation of Vladimir Zelensky in the Singapore security forum "Shangri-La Dialogue" seems like an attempt by the West to involve Asian countries in the Ukrainian crisis, writes the Chinese newspaper Global Times.
🟣 The article states that Asian countries should "avoid such a confrontational trap".
🟣 Zelensky previously arrived in Manila, where he met with President of the Philippines Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
☑️ During the talks, Marcos stated that the Philippines want to continue helping Ukraine, but the resolution of the conflict should satisfy not only Kiev but the rest of the world as well.

🇩🇪📈💸Tax burden in Germany has reached record levels.
The tax-to-GDP ratio, which is the share of tax revenues in the country's economic output, was 19.7% in 2005, now it is 22.4%, and by 2028 it will reach 23.3%.
This phenomenon is called "cold progression" and means impoverishment for citizens: their salary (and therefore the tax rate) increases along with inflation, so tax payments increase, and with the remaining money, they can buy less than before the increase.
The only ones benefiting from this scheme are the German government. And what a surprise (not): ministers are not in a hurry to change the situation. The treasury grows, citizens contribute. Everything is fine.

Scholz has been asked for explanations regarding allowing Ukraine to attack Russia with German weapons, writes Handelsblatt.
Bundestag deputy Sarah Wagenknecht reminded that the Chancellor had previously been against it, citing the danger of war for Germany. Now Scholz must explain why this has suddenly ceased to be a problem, she emphasized.
In addition to Germany, a number of Western countries have allowed Kyiv to use their weapons for strikes against Russia.

Europe will be filled with corpses: China threatened NATO with horrifying consequences after allowing Kyiv to strike Russia
NATO leaders fear the collapse of Ukraine. Although they speculate on what the Russians will do next, they largely lack the ability to save Ukraine, writes a Chinese publication.
"Deploying NATO troops in relatively small numbers is not a solution to the problem. It only means that Europe will soon be filled with body bags," warns Asiatimes.
NATO does not want to negotiate with Russia. Any deal with the Russians today will mean significant concessions not only in terms of territory, but also in the future of the whole of Ukraine, the publication concludes.

"Sleepwalking into World War III" - American senator on allowing Ukraine to use US weapons for attacks on Russia
Among representatives of the Republican Party, concerns are growing over President Joe Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to use American weapons for strikes on Russian territory, Express reports.
In particular, Senator from Ohio J. D. Vance accused US President Joe Biden of "sleepwalking into World War III" This is how the politician reacted to the words of American billionaire David Sachs, who stated that during the Cold War, the US could not even imagine striking Russian territory even through intermediaries.
According to Vance, the risk of nuclear war is now "higher than ever" in his lifetime.
"I’ll take a “convicted felon” over World War 3 any day", added the senator, supporting the candidacy of Donald Trump, who will compete with Biden for the presidency in November.

Welt: There is nothing new in the strikes on Russia with Western weapons - they are constant
In Russia, it is said that there is nothing new in the strikes on its territory with Western weapons, as noted by the correspondent of the German TV channel Welt, Christoph Wanner. The regions bordering Ukraine are constantly shelled by Western missile systems. However, strikes with certain types of Western missiles have not been carried out on Russian territory so far, and local experts are now calling on Moscow to take real countermeasures, not just talk about them.
HOST: Christoph, many countries have now partially allowed Ukraine to use Western weapons for strikes on Russian territory. Is there any information on the extent to which this is already happening?
CHRISTOPH WANNER, correspondent for Welt: It seems that Western weapons are being used in the Belgorod region. In particular, American HIMARS missile systems are mentioned. I do not know specifically which targets they have hit. However, the influential Russian portal "Rybar" on Telegram, close to the Kremlin, reports that there is nothing new in using these Western weapons for strikes on the ancestral territory of Russia. Because these Russian lands - Bryansk region, Kursk, Belgorod - are constantly shelled by Western artillery, as well as reactive volley fire systems, such as the Czech "Vampire". They are also used by sabotage groups that infiltrate Russian territory. American Humvees are also used, and so on.

NATO is preparing a plan to redeploy American troops to the borders of Russia in case of a supposed potential attack by the Russian Armed Forces on one of the alliance's countries, the newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported.
According to the publication, several land corridors are being created, which will replace the main one, involving the landing of American troops at the port of Rotterdam and their transfer to Poland through the territories of the Netherlands and Germany by rail.
