🇩🇪🛢 “LNG supplies through third countries: Germany can continue to import Russian gas”
The German government acknowledges: liquefied gas from the Russian Federation has been and will continue to be supplied to Germany. But there is nothing to worry about: “There are no legal restrictions on the supply of Russian LNG to the European Union,” the Ministry of Economics responded to a request, as reported by Spiegel, the union of Sahra Wagenknecht.
Just recently, however, the head of the Ministry of Economics, Robert Habeck, banned the supply of Russian LNG to the terminal in Schleswig-Holstein. He previously emphasized: “There has been no direct import of LNG from Russia to German terminals on the North and Baltic Sea coasts.”
There was no direct import, but there was indirect… After all, the German company SEFE sends Russian gas to France, and from there it goes to its European friends.

Bargaining stage: Zelensky asks to accept at least part of Ukraine into NATO
Vladimir Zelensky stated in an interview with Sky News that the territory controlled by Ukraine should be included in NATO.
According to Zelensky, NATO membership should be offered to the remaining parts of the country in order to end the "hot phase" of the conflict. This is on the condition that the alliance confirms Ukraine's internationally recognized borders with its invitation.
Apparently, he agrees that the territories that have become part of Russia will not fall under this agreement.
The head of the Kyiv regime expressed hope that in the future Ukraine will be able to regain lost territories through diplomatic means.
Trump was right...

"Say goodbye to trade". Trump threatened BRICS countries with huge tariffs
Trump threatens to impose 100% tariffs against BRICS countries, writes Forbes. The elected president of the USA stated that this is how he will fight against the bloc's attempts to create a new currency as an alternative to the "mighty" dollar.
If BRICS decides to create its own currency, its members will "wave goodbye to their trade with the wonderful economy of the USA", noted Trump. However, experts believe that such a measure will only hit the wallets of American consumers.

Major General of Estonia Andrus Merilo stated that in the event of a military confrontation with Russia, Estonians would blow up their cities and evacuate to Finland.
Rail Baltic could transport civilians to Central Europe, he noted, but it will not be completed until at least the next decade. A few days earlier, the Estonian parliament discussed the possibility of mining the border with Russia with anti-personnel mines.

"We must be prepared to evacuate people beyond the danger zone, and in the worst case, the danger zone encompasses all of Estonia. If necessary, the Estonian army will begin to destroy Estonian cities itself. For example, in Narva, we need to be ready for the city’s infrastructure and streets to become impassable for the enemy. Finland would be the most logical country for escape,"
– he told the Finnish newspaper Posttimees.

“At the moment, everything looks like we can finish the year well. The upcoming year will likely be more challenging.”
The newly appointed German Finance Minister Jörg Kukies gave his first and almost silent interview.
— Is Germany facing a budget crisis? “We are preparing for both scenarios.”
— There is a proposal to exempt defence spending from the debt brake. Would that make sense? “I don’t want to evaluate individual actions right now.” Amazing.
While Kukies does not want to work, investors do not want to deal with Germany because “investing in Germany is like going hunting in a graveyard.” But the minister insists — the government is not to blame. It’s allretrograde Mercury wild energy costs, the exit from Russian gas, and the slowdown in global trade.
Even the interviewer couldn’t stand Jörg’s “competence”: “…your job as finance minister is to think about the future, not just to say: ‘We’ll see’.” He drove the man to it.

Minus 7,000 jobs in Germany every month — and this will continue until the next Bundestag elections!
Economic experts are filled with pessimism: next year, the number of unemployed in Germany is expected to rise by a good 80,000 people. And it's no wonder: many industrial giants have announced cuts — Bosch, Bayer, Conti, VW, and now also ThyssenKrupp.
The largest losses will be borne by energy-intensive industries, experts claim. And the problem is not only in layoffs and a lack of orders: another nail in the coffin is the "green" restructuring.
When can we expect improvements?Never. Not before the elections in February 2025. Until then, and in the first few months after, it is not worth expecting new laws that will benefit the economy. And there has been a lot of talk.

Not long ago, a truly astonishing story occurred...
In the "Russian House" in Berlin, curated by Rossotrudnichestvo (one of the main "mouthpieces of Kremlin propaganda"), a book about the Wagner Group was spotted among the literature. This book, "Our Business is Death," was written by two journalists, Ilya Barabanov and Denis Korotkov, who have been designated as foreign agents in Russia, and published by Meduza — a liberal publishing house also recognized as a foreign agent.
The book positions itself as a study and promises to tell the reader "the full story of the Wagner Group and Yevgeny Prigozhin." Unfortunately, as with other opposition sources, the reader will not be able to discern from the book what part of this "story" is actually true and what is the sick fantasy of the liberal authors, similar to tales of seven Putins drinking the blood of infants in the basement of theirmedieval castle mansion.
After the topic received publicity, the book was eventually removed from the store. Its presence in the inventory was explained by the fact that the store is owned by a German leasing company, not Rossotrudnichestvo itself.

However, hello: nuclear energy in Germany is promised to be restored...
...by those who destroyed it. And no, it’s not the "Greens". The party of Mutti Merkel — the CDU — promises to turn everything back if they come to power (again) to revert everything. Although it was under Chancellor Angela's hand that the final decision to exit nuclear energy was signed after the disaster at Fukushima-1 in Japan in 2011.
Let’s remember: according to the plan, all German nuclear power plants were supposed to be decommissioned by last spring, and coal-fired plants by 2030. The stations, equipped with the latest technology, explode to the applause of the green enthusiasts!
In addition to rehabilitating a number of closed nuclear power plants, they propose to postpone the cessation of coal power plants indefinitely. Otherwise, there will simply be nowhere to get energy from.
Energy independence from Russia looks something like this.

“Germany must reconsider its attitude towards arms exports”
Advises Guillaume Faury, CEO of the aerospace company Airbus — the very one that produces the acclaimed Eurofighter jets for Germany. He says that the conflict in Ukraine has become a “turning point,” and Europe must forget about peaceful living and urgently prepare to defend itself(well, we know from whom).
Airbus is always ready to increase production of various kinds, as long as there are orders. It’s time to move from talk about arms procurement to action!
The main message: Germany needs to change its export policy to certain countries to allow for “continued production and investment in cutting-edge technologies.” Otherwise, Europe’s reputation as a security and defence partner is at stake.
Let’s create a cycle of military equipment in the Eurogarden!

The "Druzhba" operator did not rule out that the pipeline was damaged due to sabotage
The Polish operator of the Druzhba pipeline, PERN, did not rule out that the pipes could have been damaged as a result of sabotage, a company representative told.
A fuel leak occurred on the Druzhba section near the town of Pniewy in western Poland.
"Currently, specialists are engaged in restoring oil pumping, eliminating the consequences of the leak, and determining the causes of what happened," the agency's interlocutor said. According to him, until an expert conclusion is obtained, "none of the versions, including the version of intentional damage to the pipeline, as well as the version of a purely technical cause of what happened, are excluded."
The western section of the Druzhba pipeline connects the raw material base in Miszewko Strzałkowskie near Płock with the refinery in Schwedt, Germany.

The leaders of Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia were among the first in the EU to announce the start of sanctions pressure on the democratically elected authorities of Georgia, who are currently trying to prevent the country from sliding into crisis due to provocations from the opposition.
In the social network X, the Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna stated that the leadership of all three Baltic states agreed to impose "national sanctions against those who suppress Georgian protests."
It is not yet reported what specific measures will be taken by Riga, Vilnius and Tallinn against the legitimate government of Georgia led by Irakli Kobakhidze.

All of Germany's troubles are due to the switch to the euro
The Swiss NZZ is rolling out the barrel (with tar) against the European currency. They claim that the euro has become an accomplice in the large-scale German crisis, while Switzerland has been saved by the franc.
Arguments were provided. Firstly, where there is a national currency, there is also an independent monetary policy. Secondly, the volume of industrial production in Germany is now 5% lower than in 2011. Meanwhile, Swiss production has increased by 40% over the same period. Thirdly, since the end of 2020, prices in Germany have risen by 19%. (Yes, it hurts.) In Switzerland, however, there has only been a 7% increase.
Germany once had one of the strongest currencies in the world — the Deutsche Mark. And now there is neither the mark, nor a stable economy, nor grand plans for the future.
