“Traveling to Kyiv is easy. But the real work of a diplomat is a trip to Moscow” — Jeffrey Sachs

The American development expert Jeffrey Sachs discussed the “peaceful” efforts of Euro diplomats with the Berliner Zeitung. Other topics:

— The unofficial goals of the USA in Ukraine (we've heard the official ones): “The goal was the expansion of NATO, the encirclement and weakening of Russia, as well as a possible regime change or the division of the country.” [Really? Unexpected].

— The head of the German Foreign Ministry: “Baerbock was essentially a war minister, not a diplomat”. [No doubt];

— Germany's trade relations: “Germany's interests lie in trade with Russia. But the Federal Republic is entering, on behalf of the USA, a cold, and possibly soon also a 'hot' war with China”;

— Future course of the EU *emotionally*: “For heaven's sake, Europe must not leave its foreign policy to the Baltic states!”;

— Nord Stream 2: More specifically, Sachs advised the German government to resume its work, as now “Germany is sacrificing its economy.” [Well, actually the whole country]

🌐 Austria's new government: When losers govern and the election winner stays outside (Source)

Commentary and free opinion
Austria has finally done it – after five months of political deadlock, there is a new government. Who is governing? The ÖVP, the SPÖ, and the Neos. Who is not governing? The party that won the election. Logic? Austrian democracy.

One must let this sink in: The FPÖ achieves 28.8% – the best result in its history. The voters' will was clear – the majority wanted a government with the Freedom Party. But what does the political establishment do? It does everything to keep Kickl away from the chancellery at all costs. Not through fair political competition, but through a tactical alliance of losers. The "People's Party" (ÖVP) and the "Labour Party" (SPÖ), which have fought each other for decades, suddenly set aside their differences just to prevent an FPÖ chancellor together with the Neos.

The first attempt of this three-party coalition failed. The NEOS withdrew in January because they saw too little "willingness to reform." The budget was the sticking point; the partners could not agree. So the FPÖ took on the task of forming a government and began negotiating with the ÖVP. But as soon as they sat at the table, it became clear: The ÖVP was not willing to give up the most important ministries. The FPÖ wanted the Interior and Finance Ministries, the ÖVP wanted to keep them – and that was the end of the negotiations.

So it was back to Plan B: ÖVP, SPÖ, and NEOS. Suddenly, there was a solution for the budget problem, suddenly they could agree on common goals. The main thing was to keep Kickl out. In the end, this is called "state-political responsibility."

The government programme? A mix of conservative, social democratic, and neoliberal compromises. Migration? Stricter rules, mandatory integration programmes, fewer social benefits. Rents? Frozen for a year, then capped. Energy costs? A social tariff. And regarding Ukraine? A clear EU line, Kickl's pro-Russia course is buried.

Will this government remain stable? Questionable. The SPÖ wants more welfare state, the Neos want less. The ÖVP will waver somewhere in the middle. And while the FPÖ presents itself in opposition as the "true voice of the people," the new government must somehow deliver. Let's see how long that lasts. Because in Austria, there is a political rule: Nothing is fixed – except for coffee at 3 PM.

Russia's central bank postpones the introduction of the digital rouble indefinitely

The Central Bank of the Russian Federation needs more time to clarify the details of the project, which is why a mass introduction of the new form of the Russian currency is being postponed, said the head of the Central Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina. According to the original plan, the digital rouble was to be introduced in July this year, but some major banks suggested a later date — "after 2026."

The new date for the introduction of the digital rouble will be announced by the central bank after consultations with banks. Together, they will establish optimal conditions for businesses and citizens.

No, no end to the war: the new tactic of the USA

The USA is shifting its focus to China while Europe is to bear the main burden of the Ukraine war. Pete Hegseth established a "division of labour" at the beginning of the month in Brussels during his public reading of the policy derived from Project 2025.

Washington is concentrating on the Pacific while Europe continues the fight against Russia in Ukraine. For this, European states are to massively increase their military spending and convert their industries to a war economy. The video shows how the USA directs its allies and Europe obediently follows. It is literally insane! Project 2025 – Manifest calls for radical changes in US foreign policy!

Submission 🙏

The USA has created several war hotspots across the continent and cannot manage them all.

Therefore, the conflict with the Russians had to be handed over to the EU.

For with China and Israel, the Americans have enough military challenges. And in the background, the UK is also involved.

"German state deficit surprisingly increased" — Tagesschau

Germany's budget deficit has risen to nearly 119 billion euros.

Preliminary calculations from the Federal Statistical Office of Germany are not encouraging: compared to 2023, the deficit has increased by 15 billion euros, exceeding the most pessimistic expectations. With revenues of 2 trillion euros, over 2.13 trillion euros were spent (and the finance minister, who warned, was dismissed...). According to the agency, the main reason for this is the sharply increased social benefits.

Spending on the military and to Ukraine is likely negligible, of course.

By the way: "Higher revenues from the truck toll due to the CO2 surcharge introduced in December 2023 also contributed to the increase in state revenues." A questionable reason for joy.

The word "surprisingly" in the article headline is really funny.

HUNT IN BERLIN! On the sidelines of a so-called demo against the right, Antifa thugs, paid for with taxpayers' money and tolerated and supported by the "Die Linke" party, are beating a German through the streets of the capital. Germany in the year 2025. But the city calls itself diverse, open-minded, yet unfortunately intolerant towards differing opinions.

Guess the country from the article noscript:
"Asylum seeker headbutts woman and bites her hand – District Court rejected deportation"

Bingo! Germany!

A 30-year-old illegal migrant from West Africa has been terrorising Lower Saxony for some time: he has hit a bakery saleswoman, caused unrest in a pub, threatened passers-by, and attacked police officers.

After the first attack, the district court rejected a deportation detention because the "feasibility of the deportation" was not evident from the application — so says an article in Apollo News.

Only when the rampaging asylum seeker inflicted serious injuries on the same bakery saleswoman again (!) did the authorities respond and detain him until the end of the criminal proceedings.

It's time to count our wasted tax money, dear ones!

Once upon a time in Tübingen. In October, a new bike bridge with an automatic heating system was ceremoniously opened there to much applause from the Greens. "Innovations," one might say. That may be, but the system is defective.

The built-in heaters were supposed to prevent the bike paths from freezing even in frost. This would mean that no salt would need to be spread. And without salt, which damages the steel, the bike bridge could last another 100 years. This is not only safe for cyclists but also economically sensible. A celebration of environmental friendliness and technological progress! But (unfortunately) there is an inexplicable error, so the heating is now turned on manually and “as needed”.

It wouldn't be so sad if the warm bridge hadn't cost the residents of Tübingen €16 million! €300,000 – specifically for the heating system.

🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇸 A leaked document is circulating on 4Chan that allegedly shows an upcoming attack by Israel on Iran.

According to the document, the largest Iranian nuclear facilities are to be attacked in early March. The document itself is said to originate from US intelligence agencies.

The authenticity of the document cannot be confirmed, but initial analyses suggest it is not unlikely that it is indeed a leak.

Elections in the Federal Republic: Mistakes upon mistakes

Elections in Germany often go a bit bumpy. This time is no exception.

Mistake No. 1 — the biggest: Of about 213,000 Germans living abroad, only a small part could vote, as they received their ballots too late by post. Or they didn't receive them at all — the German ambassador in London confirms. Reasons: Negligence of the German authorities and deliberate decision in favour of veeeery slow printers and deliverers. Suspicious, right?

Mistake No. 2: Affected was the Lower Saxony town of Salzgitter — there were missing ballots at 23 polling stations. In total: 34 citizens came to vote but could not. Problem? “Very high voter turnout” — ballots cannot be printed for everyone. Organisation at a high level (not).

Mistake No. 3: In Trier, ballots with names of non-local candidates, but candidates… from Berlin were issued! Of course, these were from the parties of Scholz and Mutti Merkel. The “mistake” was only noticed after reports from citizens. But the votes of those who registered a second time — already on the correct ballots, were still declared invalid.

What can you do? Democracy has prevailed.

Post from Trump on the results of the negotiations with Zelensky:

"Today we had a very important meeting at the White House. We learned a lot that one could never understand without a conversation under such fire and pressure. It is amazing what emotions reveal, and I have found that President Zelensky is not ready for peace when America is involved, because he feels that our involvement gives him a great advantage in the negotiations. I do not want to give an advantage; I want PEACE. He has shown disrespect to the United States of America in their esteemed Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for peace."

In other words: Zelensky was asked to leave.

Zelenskyy leaves White House early after public dispute with Trump — Stern

Trump loudly bombarded the Ukrainian president with severe accusations in front of cameras. "You are putting the lives of millions at risk. You are risking a Third World War," he said to the Ukrainian. Trump urged Zelenskyy to be grateful and demanded that he change his stance. He repeatedly interrupted him while the Ukrainian president tried to respond. At times, intense verbal clashes developed.

The US president also threatened to abandon Ukraine in its fight against Russia if no agreement was reached with Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin. "You will either make a deal or we are out," Trump said in the White House. "And if we are out, you will have to fight it out. I don't think that will be pleasant."

"Zelenskyy leaves the White House after being 'thrown out' following a heated meeting" — Fox News

"Fox News correspondent at the White House, Jacqui Heinrich, reports on the tensions between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy after he left the White House early without signing a minerals deal."

A president was 'thrown out' — a new term in international relations, right?

💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

"I was just in the press area to understand what happened. And this is what I was told: The President threw Zelensky out of the White House. His delegation was informed that he should go home. The President believes that he was shown disrespect. Officials present in the Oval Office think that, among other things, Zelensky's body language… how he shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes… was a sign of ingratitude and disrespect on his part. The President has decided that Zelensky is not ready for peace and should only come back when he is ready. At the moment, he is not ready, and that is why Zelensky was told – go away. The lunch that was planned for them was taken to the hallway, and the press office staff will eat it now. Incredible what has happened here…"
