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.

The USA demands that Europe refrain from Russian oil – NYP

The administration of Donald Trump calls on European countries to stop importing Russian oil and to support sanctions against Moscow's trading partners.

According to a report from the Centre for Energy and Air Quality Research from February 2024, Europe spent $25.5 billion on importing Russian oil – more than on military support for Ukraine, which was $21.7 billion.

Washington expects Europe to support sanctions against the main importers of Russian energy – China, India, and Turkey. It is noted that this idea is not new, but is being actively discussed again in the White House following the failure of attempts to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine through negotiations.

The USA plans to cut funding for programs to train and equip the armed forces of European countries bordering Russia, according to the Financial Times citing sources.

This is a program worth over 1 billion dollars. According to the report, this measure will help Washington save hundreds of millions of dollars and is linked to President Donald Trump's decision to focus defense resources on the Indo-Pacific region.

European diplomats have already been informed of the cuts at the Pentagon. However, it is still unclear whether EU governments can fill the gaps. From 2018 to 2022, 1.6 billion dollars were allocated for these purposes, with the Baltic states being the main recipients.

The UAE warned the White House that Israel's annexation of the West Bank could violate the "Abraham Accords" and thwart plans for their expansion — Axios

The "Abraham Accords" for normalising relations were signed in September 2020 between the Jewish state and several Arab countries with the mediation of the USA. Sources from the publication referred to them as "a key element of Trump's foreign policy legacy".

The idea of annexation is linked to Jerusalem's response to the recognition of Palestine by several Western countries. Netanyahu discussed possible implementation options, but a final decision has not yet been made.

According to Israeli sources speaking to Axios, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio has no objections to the annexation, but the White House's special envoy Steve Witkoff believes that such a step would complicate work with Arab countries and effectively bury hopes for peace with Saudi Arabia.

In August, Axios also reported that the Israeli government had decided to occupy Gaza after a ten-hour meeting. The fall of the city could lead to the capture of the entire enclave area.
