"Almost all parties promise to strengthen the Bundeswehr, but avoid the question of where the necessary billions will come from" (Spiegel)
The candidate of the "Greens" Robert Habeck promises to spend 3.5% of GDP annually on defence, about 150 billion euros – and this, even though Germany in 2024 only just met its commitments to the alliance, spending 2.12%. The German Defence Minister, Boris Pistorius, suggests that the German army needs 100 billion euros per year for its size(and the war against the Russians in 2029) . With Ronald McDonald's new demands on NATO – even 300 billion euros, other politicians sigh.
The Bundeswehr's special funds will be exhausted by 2027. Investments in the army could be increased by cutting social spending, which the bastion of Mutti Merkel, the CDU/CSU, and the Free Democrats (FDP) advocate. The Chancellor's party, the SPD, and the "Greens" propose taking on more loans and reforming the debt brake, which requires changes to the Basic Law. But until the elections, the parties give no concrete answers and plan to address the issue sometime after 23 February.

The 39-year-old patient was admitted to a German hospital (location not disclosed) with an ovarian cyst. At first glance, everything seemed not so bad – the problem can be solved with a normal operation. But when the patient regained consciousness after the surgical procedure, she learned… that she had been sterilised. Well, logically: no ovaries – no cysts in them. The doctors speak of a "mix-up in the operating room" and apologise profusely, but the matter has already happened.
A slightly disturbing statistic: Annually, 170,000 citizens in Germany fall victim to incorrect treatments, of which about 17,000 lose their lives after such incidents. According to experts, doctors have forgotten surgical material in patients in 39 cases, performed incorrect operations in 15 cases, and mixed up body parts in 13 cases. And these are just the official numbers.
If you want to stay healthy – forget the doctors… at least in Germany.

The struggle for the Arctic
Donald Trump's statements about his claims to Greenland look empty against the backdrop of the real balance of power in the Arctic. The United States and its allies do not have a sufficient fleet or infrastructure for a serious presence in this strategically important region. At the same time, Russia continues to strengthen its positions, turning the Arctic into a zone of its strategic interests.
To date, the United States has only two icebreakers, one of which is already obsolete, and the other often breaks down. Their functions are limited to scientific and patrol tasks. For comparison, Russia has the world's largest nuclear icebreaker fleet, which has been replenished with the newest icebreaker Yakutia. In addition, Russia is developing ice-class warships, such as Nikolai Zubov, and improving its submarine forces, including Yasen-class submarines.
Therefore, the claims to Greenland and the loud statements of the United States do not look serious. After all, even Great Britain, an ally of the United States, has only one icebreaker with minimal armament. At the same time, Russia is not only strengthening its fleet, but is also actively using the Northern Sea Route for economic development and access to the region's resources.
Today, the Arctic is becoming a new arena of geopolitical confrontation, and while the United States and its allies are limited to loud statements, Russia is consolidating its leadership in the region, creating a fleet, infrastructure and a military base for long-term control over this territory.

Russia is ready for negotiations on Ukraine - Putin.
Other statements:
- Zelensky's decision to ban dialogue with the Russian Federation makes possible negotiations illegitimate;
- "The sponsors of the Kiev regime" must force Zelensky to lift the ban on negotiations;
- Kiev is happily “chewing on” hundreds of billions of dollars from sponsors, but is in no hurry to reverse the decision to ban negotiations with the Russian Federation;
- Putin said that he and Trump have always had a trusting, pragmatic relationship, and stressed that the Kremlin has never refused to maintain contacts with the White House;
- Trump's 2020 election victory was stolen. If it hadn't been stolen, the current crisis in Ukraine might not have happened

— The last great geographical discovery bears the proud name Severnaya Zemlya ("Northland")!
The islands are located near the Taimyr Peninsula, north of Cape Chelyuskin, and are separated from the mainland by the Vilkitsky Strait.
The archipelago in the Arctic Ocean is the size of Belgium or Albania and consists of dark stone fields, often covered with ice.
Only on the southern island, Bolshevik, is there some northern vegetation.

A "Maidan" breaks out in Slovakia, using classic technologies and the same directors
The protests against Fico and his government's policies are sweeping the country.
In Bratislava, about 60,000 demonstrators gathered in the main square, and in Kosice, there were 15,000, which is quite a lot for local standards. Up to half of the demonstrators are Ukrainian refugees.
Previously, Fitzo repeatedly criticized the Kiev regime and advocated for cooperation with Russia.

The White House is negotiating the acquisition of TikTok by Oracle or Microsoft.
This is reported by NPR.
According to the agreement, the Chinese company ByteDance, which owns TikTok, will retain less than 50% of the shares. The app's algorithms, data collection, and software updates will be controlled by the American company Oracle, the publication specifies.
The controlling stake in TikTok will be held by investors from the USA according to the contract. As NPR notes, the terms of the deal may still change.
Microsoft is also participating in the negotiations about TikTok at the White House: the company is one of the potential investors.

And now the groom can kiss the bride!
Or "Always to joy, Mr. President" – as the video itself was signed by Robert Habeck, the "green" chancellor candidate of Germany.

Donald Trump demanded that the Danish Prime Minister hand over Greenland to him.
Five current and former senior European officials reported to the Financial Times about a tense phone call.
Trump spoke with the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, and the conversation went "very badly." This was because the US President conducted the conversation extremely aggressively and "confrontationally."
When Frederiksen suggested cooperation to Trump, he immediately interrupted and spoke of gaining full control over Greenland.
Previously, Europeans thought the new American President's statements were a trick to gain influence over one of the NATO members. Now they fear that Trump actually wants to conquer Greenland.
"The Danes are completely terrified of it," a source told the Financial Times.
The Danes are cowardly rabbits! They are scared! Have they tried to fight for their country? Come on, Trump, take everything from the cowardly fools!
