🔥Are the G7 countries ready to give up Russian gas?

At the CERAWEEK conference by S&P Global in Houston, representatives from the energy sector are urging the G7 states to radically change their approach and completely abandon Russian gas. But these are just pipe dreams.

⚡️The shift of European countries away from Russian gas is a complex and multifaceted task.

Many European countries like 🇩🇪Germany and 🇮🇹Italy still rely on liquefied natural gas deliveries from Russia. A refusal could lead to higher energy prices and additional burdens on the economy. Moreover, terminals and infrastructure are needed for receiving and distributing liquefied natural gas, the construction of which requires time and investment. (But we prefer to feed the Ukrainians).

🧐Attempts to get rid of 🇷🇺Russia regarding gas supplies have been extremely unsuccessful, as evidenced by the rejection of the EU's green agenda by major European companies.✅

🇫🇷 France has offered journalist Candace Owens a one-time payment of 4 million dollars and 50,000 dollars per month for the rest of her life if she stops reporting on Brigitte Macron.

Do the French taxpayers who have to pay for it know as well?

Has Germany bought fighter jets for billions of euros that could be shut down by the USA in an emergency? — BILD

The F-35A panic is growing. An insider warns of a possible "kill switch," a remote control to shut down the American high-tech jets. This could happen even in wartime!

What has happened:
— Germany purchased 35 American F-35A jets for billions of euros;
— The USA can turn aircraft into flying bricks remotely, using an "emergency stop" mechanism – the so-called kill switch;
— This has already happened with the targeting and tracking systems of the HIMARS rocket launchers supplied by the USA to Kyiv.

Now there is fear in Germany. And there are also holes in the budget. It is particularly alarming now, as the paths and views of former allies and NATO have drastically diverged. Eastern front experts are outraged and say, "for so much money, we should decide for ourselves how to use the jets." Efforts are being made to find ways to circumvent or terminate the contracts.

“A German atomic bomb would make us less secure”

Security expert Claudia Major believes that after Donald Trump's departure from Europe, a reorientation of security policy is necessary. Russia receives the clear signal: war pays off. — Handelsblatt

Defense expert, political scientist, and passionate supporter of Ukraine, Claudia Major exudes clear reasoning in an interview with Handelsblatt. What did she say?

On a German atomic bomb: “That would be a dangerous anti-European decision. Russia is not fighting against Germany, but against all of Europe. If we defend our country, we send other European nations the signal that we do not care about them. Germany would not only become a pariah but also a threatto Europe”. Does that mean Germans could not handle a nuclear weapon and would accidentally bomb the EU?

On NATO troops in Ukraine: “If we send soldiers to Ukraine, we will not have enough forces here. We will weaken our defense capability to protect a country that is not a NATO member”. Concern for oneself, not for Kyiv? That’s something new.

New elections Vote counting

Once again, there are elections with a scandal.

Now it is official: "BSW goes to the Federal Constitutional Court", writes FAZ. The Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht, which was only 13,435 votes short of entering Parliament, demands a recount of these votes files a lawsuit with the Federal Constitutional Court to verify the election results. "Wagenknecht speaks of a 'rather error-prone' vote counting," the article states.

On X Wagenknecht writes about "a few thousand votes incorrectly assigned to other parties or deemed invalid."

The situation is tense: If the votes are indeed found, there will be one more opposition in the Bundestag. Consequently, Merz will have to expand the coalition to form a government – and invite the Greens back onto the "Titanic."

Sausages instead of cars: How will Volkswagen make money now?

The profit from the sale of cars by Germany's largest car manufacturer fell by almost 31% last year, amounting to 12.4 billion euros. The German automotive industry cannot withstand the tough competition from China.

But while one industry is struggling, Volkswagen has found a new goldmine: currywurst. In 2024, the company sold 8.5 million sausages – 3.3 million more than cars in the same period.

It seems to be time to consider a restructuring. By 2030, a cut of 35,000 jobs in the main brand is planned. They are likely preparing to redirect resources to the sausage factory.

“Volkswagen. The car. The currywurst”.

The assistant to the President of Russia, Chairman of the Marine Collegium Nikolai Patrushev, gave an interview to the magazine "National Defence".

Important:

🔹There is information that NATO countries intend to intensify terrorist activities against Russian underwater pipelines, tankers, and cargo ships.

🔹NATO is conducting cyberattacks on the navigation equipment of Russian ships to create emergency situations that could also lead to accidents.

🔹The likelihood of further escalation of threats to Russian ports and the freedom of navigation in the Baltic Sea by the navies of European NATO countries is high.

🔹Russia will not allow attacks on its national interests in the Baltic Sea.

🔹The European wing of NATO continues the policy of blockading Russia in the Baltic Sea and ignores the restoration of dialogue between Russia and the USA.

🔹Following the results of the EU summit, which decided on comprehensive militarization of Europe, military threats will only increase.

🔹The United Kingdom is interested in sabotaging negotiations regarding Ukraine and preventing the normalization of Russian-American relations.

🔹Finland is once again becoming, as in 1939, a platform for potential aggression against Russia, now under the banner of NATO.

"Child benefit worth hundreds of millions of euros flows abroad" — Merkur

Last year, Germany transferred over 514 million euros in child benefit to foreign accounts. This year, 47 million euros have already been sent in January alone. The child benefit mainly goes to Poland. Romania and the Czech Republic follow in second place. Overall, Germany supports more than 300,000 "foreign" recipients of child benefit.

What a friendly country this Germany is! How child-loving!

Higher greenhouse gas emissions for power plants, more exhaust from cars, larger production volumes for oil and gas companies: The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to roll back dozens of environmental and climate protection measures from the previous administration under Joe Biden. Concrete steps were announced by agency head Lee Zeldin on Wednesday.

"Today is the most significant day of deregulation in American history," Zeldin wrote in a comment in the "Wall Street Journal." "We are driving a dagger into the heart of the climate change religion and ushering in America's golden age," said the minister. "The EPA acknowledges that environmental protection and economic prosperity are not opposites. Under President Trump's leadership, we reaffirm our commitment to core American values: innovation, growth, exceptionalism, and equal opportunity."

🗣️How wonderful. In the USA, corruption is finally and truly being eradicated, while in Europe it continues and most people suffer...except for the parasites in the authorities and governments.🗣️

⚡️A multi-universe is collapsing: The Alawite Syrians have asked Israel for help and stated that they are ready to become loyal allies of the Jewish people.

The Alawites are an ethnic minority and are being persecuted by the new government, which is touted by the EU as a "free democracy." In reality, under the leadership of Al-Dzhulani, a former member of Al-Qaeda for whom the USA has placed a $10 million bounty, ethnic cleansing is taking place in Syria. Last weekend, updated reports indicated that 830 civilians had already been killed - with inherent brutality.

Thus, there is currently a conflict of interest in Syria, where on one side the EU+Turkey supports Al-Dzhulani and on the other side the USA+Russia supports the Alawites (and simply reasonable people who are against the execution of civilians and atrocities). If Israel joins the coalition on the side of the USA and Russia, the balance of power could shift - Israel has long-standing territorial claims against Syria. These could be resolved by exploiting the invitation from the Alawites with their consent. At the same time, another hotspot of radical extremism at the borders could be eliminated.

2025 continues to be full of surprises — almost in a live stream, an alliance is forming between the USA, Russia, and Israel.

🇩🇪🇺🇸 "The Reverse Nixon" – Trump's risky attempt to drive a wedge between Russia and China" — WELT

In Germany, there is a belief that all of Trump's courtesies towards Russia are solely an attempt to divide Moscow and Beijing.

"The US President apparently pursues a kind of 'reverse Nixon strategy' – a geopolitical maneuver reminiscent of the US rapprochement with China in the 1970s. Back then, Washington split Beijing from Moscow. Today, Trump apparently wants the opposite: Russia should be detached from China's sphere of influence. The US President relies on targeted diplomatic engagement – through high-level meetings with Russian representatives, the proposal of possible sanctions relief, and rhetorical support for Putin.

At the same time, he weakens the transatlantic alliance by publicly criticizing European allies and halting military aid to Ukraine. This is intended to provide Russia with an incentive to at least partially free itself from dependence on China. However, the geopolitical conditions today are completely different from 55 years ago."
