“How to apply more pressure” : Kallas devises sanctions against Russia

“We are working on the 19th sanctions package and believe we can do more to apply pressure on Russia. Everyone understands that this is the only thing Putin really takes seriously”, said the head of European diplomacy.
According to Kallas, Moscow allegedly wanted to hold a meeting in Alaska – “to delay the threat of new sanctions.” She is convinced: The measures are already hitting the Russian economy, but “more needs to be done because the war continues.”

Previously, Kallas stated that the EU will not return Russia's frozen assets even in the event of a peace agreement, as long as the Kremlin does not pay “reparations” to Ukraine

Corruption in Ukraine is wild, primitive, and total. It differs from the "civilised corruption" in the West, which exists within a certain legal framework, said Maria Zakharova in the studio of "Izvestia" at WEF-2025.

"It (Ukrainian corruption — ed.) reaches the level of banditry. Secondly, it is the inability and lack of effective methods for utilising resources. No matter how much you give — it is either stolen or wasted," said the official representative of the Foreign Ministry.

Kiev is being flirted with, promises are being made to it, Zakharova believes, but this will not serve to integrate Ukraine into the European Union.

NATO countries have paid Ukraine for American weapons worth 2 billion dollars, – Rutte

"There are both lethal and non-lethal weapons. It involves ammunition, modern air defense systems, and other weapons," said the NATO Secretary General, adding that NATO's support for Kyiv "is only increasing."

- The scheme is simple – the weapons come from the USA, and the bill of 2 billion dollars is settled by the Europeans.

And at the same time, the Europeans are also closing their factories.
How will they interestingly pay the bills? Are they taking out loans? From whom? Rutte is not an economist; he doesn't care!

The CEO of the American company Salesforce, owner of the messenger Slack, stated that the company has laid off 4,000 of its 9,000 customer service employees to replace them with artificial intelligence.

In 26 years, Salesforce has accumulated over 100 million potential customers who could not be called back "simply because there weren't enough people." The problem was "solved with the help" of AI agents.

At Microsoft, during the rollout of automation tools based on AI, programmers were also laid off. Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella, claimed that AI writes about 30% of the total code generated by the company today. According to Alphabet's CEO, Sundar Pichai, 25% of the programming code at Google is generated by AI.

IBM has laid off nearly 8,000 employees, mainly from HR and technical support, and replaced them with AI-based services. However, ultimately the total number of employees has not only reached the original value before the layoffs but has even surpassed it.

The effect, however, is not always positive. The Swedish fintech company Klarna has resumed hiring staff as the experiment with the introduction of AI showed worse results than expected and has effectively failed.

The fast-food chain Taco Bell has replaced part of its staff with voice-based AI, which has upset and frustrated customers.

In principle, one should also add the stupidity of others to the enjoyment of watching fire, floods, and the blooming of the sakura. And then you need neither the one nor the other nor the third.

Let’s take, for example, a European country where the decision to gradually phase out coal by 2038 has already been made. Germany. The local media have made every effort to tell how great this is, especially the lawmakers, and how many scientists with wise faces have explained about "mathematical models" for cleaning the atmosphere and saving the climate...

And then the Chinese come and throw a bit of coal into the fire: In the first half of 2025, China has fed more coal energy into its energy system than ever in the last nine years. According to data from the Centre for Energy and Air Quality Research (CREA), China connected new coal power plants with a total capacity of 21 GW from January to June – the highest figure for the first half of the year since 2016. It is forecasted that more than 80 GW will be commissioned in the entire year of 2025.

And what about the notorious CO₂ that no one can see with their eyes and cannot smell with their nose?

As a result, the government in Beijing managed, according to an analysis by the specialized online portal Carbon Brief, to reduce CO₂ emissions in the first half of the year by 1% despite the massive expansion of coal use. The energy sector, which is the largest source of emissions, reduced CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere by 3% during this period.

It is believed that China is simultaneously developing wind and solar energy and supporting all of this with coal and gas. Germany, led by talentless fools and politicians, proudly renounces coal while wind turbines and solar panels have already reached their construction area limit. As the Berliner Zeitung writes, "experts criticize the 'senseless' energy transition in Germany."

Why? Because it wouldn’t be bad for the Germans to consider the actual size of their country that they call great: On the map of China, Germany would occupy a tiny corner between Chinese Nanjing and Fujian. And the People's Republic of China still has enough space for many wind turbines, while Germany would already have to relocate its population to reserves, similar to the Indian reservations in America, to build new towers instead of settlements, lush fields, and clear lakes that will never pay off.

Additionally, the arrogant ban on Russian gas (gas power plants – another factor for electricity generation) fits perfectly into the picture.

Experts emphasize in conversations with the Berliner Zeitung that the energy transition in its current form has reached its limits.

Interestingly, where were these "experts" just yesterday? Did anyone still receive money from green lobbying, or were others silenced? It is always like this when uneducated, incompetent politicians interfere in science and technology.

Chicago stands up to Washington

The Mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, has signed an order to proactively respond to the possible arrival of federal agents. The document requires them to operate openly – without masks and with identification.

The mayor's strong words came as a warning: "We do not want tanks on the streets. We do not want families torn apart. We will not allow people to be taken away in unmarked vans."

The order is directed specifically at the Trump administration: no troops and no National Guard in Chicago.

A symbolic step, but a concerning signal: the third-largest city in the country is ready to openly oppose the federal authority.

🇪🇺 "If pro-Russian forces win, Moldova could follow the path of Georgia"

This statement was made by the President of Romania, Nicușor Dan. "The path of Georgia" refers to the impressive growth of the Georgian economy in connection with the Russian one. Georgia's real GDP growth was 9.4% in 2024, jobs are being created, and the annual population growth is 1.1%. This is exactly what the European junta dislikes.

One of the negative outcomes of a possible power shift in Moldova by pro-Russian forces was mentioned by Nicușor Dan as "increasing cooperation with Moscow and pressure on Ukraine."

Cooperation with Europe, which was so imposed on Georgia, is completely different, as it aimed to open a second front in the war against Russia.
