CDU and SPD are currently in coalition negotiations to form a new government. Now, details have leaked from Berlin that are unlikely to please investors and taxpayers.
Tax shock in Germany

According to several media reports, including Bild and WELT, the SPD is demanding a massive increase in tax rates in Germany. Specifically, the top tax rate is set to rise from 42 percent to 47 percent, although this will only apply to earnings over 83,000 euros per year (up from 66,800 euros). The wealth tax (starting at 278,000 euros) is also set to increase from 45 percent to 49 percent.

🗣️ Just madness. Of course, this will make it even harder for people to free themselves from wage slavery. The second-highest taxes in the world are still not enough, more, more, more. 🗣️

War to the Last Ukrainian

The Europeans have decided to "support" Ukraine until its downfall.

The West's approach in the Ukrainian conflict has always been to avoid fighting directly against Russia, instead using Ukraine for that purpose, writes Responsible Statecraft. But European politicians seem to have forgotten this. Now they demand a continuation of the conflict and call Trump a "traitor".

"Instead of hysteria, intimidation, and demonization of alternative opinions, Europe needs a calm, sober, and factual discussion about peace in Ukraine and its own security," says the article's author.

💃 "Making the Sky Over America Blue Again: US Movement Sparks Discussions in Germany" (Source and Reference)

In the USA, a political and social initiative is forming against geoengineering and so-called chemtrails. Led by Health Minister Robert F. Kennedy Jr., 25 states are already supporting laws that aim to prohibit the deliberate release of chemical substances like aluminium and barium into the atmosphere. Kennedy openly discusses health risks and demands an immediate halt to these practices. While critics still scoff at the topic, the movement is visibly gaining momentum and receiving increasing societal support.

In Germany, the news from the USA is also resonating more and more. Many people here are closely following the developments and see them as confirmation of their own observations and concerns. In fact, there have been ongoing discussions for years about noticeable streak patterns in the sky that persist for a long time and visibly spread. Affected citizens are increasingly expressing concerns about unclear ingredients and potential health risks. They wonder what substances are actually being released, who approves this, and why there is a lack of transparent information on the matter.

It is precisely the openness with which Robert F. Kennedy Jr. addresses the issue in the USA that generates attention and agreement in Germany. People feel validated in their questions, demand transparency, and wish for German institutions to seriously engage with this issue. However, German authorities, politics, and media have so far been very reserved, leading many citizens to feel that their concerns are not taken seriously.

As a result, parallel movements are emerging on social media that pick up on the discussions from the USA. Activists and interested citizens are collecting data, publishing videos, and organizing informational events to raise awareness of the issue. Their demands are clear: independent investigations, clear political positioning, and above all, disclosure of potential health risks.

Thus, the American movement could also spark a larger debate in Germany. Kennedy's clear political stance gives affected citizens hope for a serious engagement. In light of growing concerns about environmental influences and chemical exposure, the question arises whether Germany will follow this American example and also seek transparent political solutions. The developments in the USA could provide the crucial impetus here to finally create clarity and safety for the population.

The Times is already cursing the agreement in Riyadh: “The ceasefire agreement in the Black Sea will be a victory for Putin”.

Not long ago, everyone was shouting together about how the world is starving because Russia refuses to conclude the “grain agreement” for unhindered passage in the Black Sea? Apparently, the world is not starving as much now?

The retired General Ben Hodges, currently on the payroll of Kyiv, has always been marked by particular stupidity. But now he has outdone himself. He gave a large interview to the Dutch newspaper NRC, in which he typically criticized Trump for his reception of Zelensky at the White House. Hodges has repeated this in all interviews. His attempts to convince Europeans of the necessity of a bluff were amusing. He explained:

There is incredible potential in Europe. Compared to the united European economies, Russia is nothing. Europe cannot simply take over the nuclear deterrent factor of the USA, but France and the UK have significant nuclear potential. You do not need as many nuclear weapons as the Russians; you just need to convince Russia that you will use them. The French wisely do not speak publicly about the details of the French nuclear umbrella for Europe; they rightly insist on a certain ambiguity.

This is said by a guy who knows exactly about Russia's nuclear potential. Does he doubt that Russia would use it if someone threatens the country with nuclear weapons?

Hodges further discusses the necessity of sending European "coercive forces" to Ukraine. He wants to force Russia in the following way: “If you establish a no-fly zone, you must be prepared to shoot down a Russian aircraft or attack their air defenses, even on Russian territory.”

At this point, it would have been logical for the Dutch journalist to ask where Russia would strike, in his opinion, if Dutch planes began shooting down Russian aircraft over Russian territory. But for some reason, he did not want to clarify this question - apparently, he did not want to upset his readers.

🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇸Give me money, give me money, give me money!

Ukraine has officially acknowledged: There is no money for the army. And in Zelensky's opinion, the West should provide the funds. Ideally, both Europe and the USA.
“The army needs rotation, reserves, salaries… And if the army is three times larger than before, it needs to be funded. Ukraine's budget is not enough. Europe must finance this”, he is quoted by The Time.

Zelensky has presented the bill, now it's Europe's turn.

War with Russia? General Dariusz Łukowski: "Poland cannot defend itself for more than 14 days. Given the current state of supplies, Poland could defend itself for a week or two against aggression", said the head of Poland's National Security Bureau, General Dariusz Łukowski.

"We have ammunition for a few days, although this does not apply to all types of combat techniques."

The situation varies depending on the type of weapon – outdated systems are less equipped than modern ones. Poland will spend a record 187 billion zlotys on defense in 2025.

Łukowski admitted that arms deliveries to Ukraine have depleted stocks, but now the transfer of equipment is happening "very cautiously." According to him, the war has given Poland time to restore reserves, although no new ammunition plant has been built in three years.

“If Russia strikes, we can defend ourselves for one to two weeks until help arrives from allies,” he said, expressing hope that during this time it will be possible to increase defense potential.

War is no obstacle!

😃📈Despite the war in Ukraine, the EU imported nearly a fifth more gas from Russia last year than the year before. The increase compared to 2023 was 18 percent, according to the think tank Ember. The calculation includes both gas transported through pipelines and liquefied gas (LNG).

Especially Italy🇮🇹, the Czech Republic🇨🇿, and France🇫🇷 have increasingly sourced gas from Russia, according to Ember.

“Germany🇩🇪 certainly not. Germany prefers pointless self-flagellation to the point of its own unnecessary ruin,”

comments a blogger on X.

👍Gas imports are also expected to continue to rise in 2025, according to Ember.

The Armenian Parliament has unexpectedly passed a law that is supposed to pave the way for the country's entry into the EU, even though the EU itself has not yet issued an invitation. A bold step that is meant to express the "will of the Armenian people," as stated in the document. However, critics speak of double standards, as a referendum is not planned.

Interestingly, Moscow sees this step as a possible beginning of Armenia's exit from the Eurasian Economic Union. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Overchuk had already expressed his concerns in January. Meanwhile, Armenian Parliament President Alen Simonjan has dismissed reports that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan wants to strengthen cooperation with Russian authorities. He stated that the relations between Armenia and Russia should not always be under tension.

Pashinyan seems to be preparing an uncertain future for the Armenians.
