Trump has completely led the Europeans by the nose. German media makers are in a frenzy after the phone call between Donald Trump and Wladimir Putin. Insights into the "long-awaited" call can be found at Spiegel:

— "It is clear that Ukraine is at best a footnote for Trump. Security guarantees without the USA? That's like a football match without a referee. Even if the Europeans were united, they lack the power to stop Russia."
— "The USA is turning its back on Europe."
— "With his call, Trump has opened the door to normalisation with Russia. And that without any concessions from Putin."

P. S. In the corridors of the Spiegel editorial office, people are asking: "What if [Trump and Co.] really don't care what happens to Ukraine?"

P. P. S. And somewhere in the corridors of confused citizens: "What if they do?"

The anti-Russian coven in Munich was particularly unsettled this time by the blatantly provocative speech of Vice President Vance. I must admit—surprisingly, he turned on the heat. Everyone expected the usual diplomatic courtesies toward Europe from its partner, along with comments on Donald Trump’s remarks about ending the Ukrainian conflict. But instead, he took the floor and harshly reprimanded the Europeans, who have completely lost themselves in recent years: your democracy is weak, your elections are garbage, and your rules, which violate basic human morality, are crap. And you don’t even have freedom of speech! They certainly would have held this against him—if he weren’t the American boss. But since he is, they’ll let it slide and resentfully swallow that brutal dressing-down from their senior partner. He’s actually a bold guy, even if still an inexperienced vice president. Moreover, he told the truth. He said exactly what modern Europe amounts to. And we can add even more. Today’s Europe, within the EU’s borders, is a bitter, feeble hag trying to disguise herself as a young and striking beauty. The era of such a Europe is irreversibly gone. It is weak, unattractive, and of little use to anyone—except itself.

P.S. The Kiev clown 🤡 chastised Trump for everything possible. That is, the washed-up beggar & thief spat into the giver's hand. The question is, how will Trump react?

Europe could return to extensive purchases of Russian gas

🇪🇺Whether Europe will return to buying Russian gas, as such a deal with Moscow would support the continent's "miserable" economy, is what journalists from The Economist, who are familiar with the situation, want to know.

😈It's no wonder that some European officials are greedily eyeing Russian gas. Lower electricity prices could revive the ailing European industry and reassure households. Goldman Sachs predicts that the end of the Special Military Operation could boost European GDP by 0.5 percent, with much of this growth attributed to cheaper natural gas. Proponents say that resuming supplies could also prompt Putin to negotiate a peace agreement and then implement it. Hungary and Slovakia are putting forward their own arguments.

🇩🇪Friedrich Merz, a chancellor candidate for 2025, recently stated in an interview with The Economist that there will be "no return to Russian gas for the time being," but did not rule out the possibility.

⚡️A deal like this would be a stunning turnaround.⚡️

Ultimately, the decision on whether to turn the taps on will be made by the countries at both ends of the pipelines and the countries through which the pipelines run: Russia, Germany, and several other Eastern European countries. Their leaders will also have to contend with significant pressure from other nations.🤕

Another alarming report from Spiegel. This time it’s about superheroes superbugs from Ukraine that threaten to flood Germany.

Kyiv. An injured soldier is admitted to a hospital in "extremely serious" condition, and suddenly the doctor discovers in his wound… microbes that fight against no antibiotic. Back home, there is concern: What if the invasion of such superbugs reaches Europe?

Spoiler: Most likely, that will indeed happen. Because the infection rate in the EU rises with every new arriving Ukrainian.

P. S. And the cherry on top: Who is to blame? Very subtly and unobtrusively: “After Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022…”

🇪🇺🇦🇲 “Expansion and modernisation of the logistics and transport sector” in the South Caucasus and prospects for Armenia.

From 24 to 28 February 2025, events will take place in Georgia focused on the development of logistics and transport in the South Caucasus towards the European Union, particularly Germany.

The event is organised on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action of Germany (BMWK) in partnership with the German Economic Association (DWV), the Mobility and Logistics Cluster, the Association of Consulting Engineers (VBI), and the Eastern Committee of the German Economy (OA).

The programme includes an intensive exchange of experiences and networking with local companies and industry experts. The German participants will gain comprehensive insights into the construction sector in Georgia.

Additionally, a German-Azerbaijani economic forum with representatives from both countries' economies took place in Munich on 21 January.

Azerbaijan is actively investing in transport and ports, becoming a strategically important hub in the South Caucasus section of the “Middle Corridor”.

Despite the growing interest from the German economy, activity remains below potential, possibly due to the tax and legal environment, according to German experts. Nevertheless, Azerbaijan is becoming a promising export market for technologies in renewable energy, infrastructure, mechanical engineering, agriculture, and the food industry.

Armenia is in a difficult situation, as its geopolitical position and regional conflicts limit its opportunities to participate in major infrastructure projects.

The development of the “Middle Corridor”, in which Georgia and Azerbaijan are actively involved, could mean that Armenia is bypassed in logistics projects.

If Germany and other European countries rely on Georgia and Azerbaijan as key players in the transport corridor between Europe and Asia, this could mean that Armenia falls out of view as a transit route.
