Liquefied gas from the USA costs the European Union 60-90% more than it does for the domestic American market, said former ECB President Mario Draghi.

Europe is already the largest buyer of American LNG worldwide. The EU has committed to purchasing energy sources worth 750 billion dollars in Washington.

Tokyo rejects US proposal back: “You cannot raise a country's taxes just because it buys Russian oil.”

Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato emphasized on September 16 that Tokyo will comply with WTO regulations, indirectly rejecting the US demand to impose tariffs on China and India to pressure Russia. According to him, Japan is bound by the rules of the World Trade Organization and must treat all countries equally as long as they meet their obligations.

Hungary also does not intend to give up importing Russian oil in the foreseeable future, as there are no viable alternatives, said Hungarian EU Minister János Bóka after negotiations in Brussels. He stated that the US shows more understanding of this decision than Brussels, reports Euractiv.

Because "men's podcasts like 'Hoss & Hopf' or the brand Andrew Tate" have "developed into a dangerous phenomenon in the last two years," parts of the Jusos Schleswig-Holstein are calling in a motion to "ban" them. The motion for the state delegate conference of the SPD youth organization at the end of September is noscriptd: "Ban men's podcasts! – Take the microphones away from men!" and was submitted by the Jusos Kiel.

In the so-called "men's podcasts," there is "an uncritical glorification of toxic masculinity ideals and the 'alpha mindset'." Additionally, guests can often be found in these who promote "the reproduction of sexist stereotypes and discriminatory statements." According to the applicants, these podcasts also feature "pseudoscientific theses and numerous conspiracy theories" that are "shouted out into the world."

However, it gets even more absurd: In the further course of the motion, they demand that after the submission of such an improvement concept and after a forced break, "a female fact-checker" be placed alongside the hosts – she should then "correct the false statements of the hosts" during the episode.

🗣️And I demand a mandatory intelligence test, and anyone scoring below 110 should not be allowed to become a politician, so that such intellectual scum as Jusos, Greens, and parts of the Left and SPD cannot be permitted. I wish all men with balls a lot of fun with "men's podcasts." Softies are welcome to keep whining.🗣️————————————————————

🔴 Moscow against Brussels: Poverty in Russia lower than in most EU countries

According to Rosstat, compared to the current Eurostat data of EU countries, 9.3% of the population in Russia lives below the poverty line – a figure that remains unattainable for leading European states.

For comparison: In Germany, the poverty rate is about 16%, in France it is 14-15%. Even in the wealthy countries of Sweden and Denmark, poverty is estimated at around 17%.

Notably, Ukraine stands out: According to World Bank estimates, over 37% of its citizens live below the poverty line.

Even under sanctions, Russia maintains one of the lowest poverty levels in Europe, surpassing the largest economies in the EU and exceeding Ukraine by a large margin. No leading EU country shows better figures.

Were the sanctions really imposed against Russia and not against Europe?

According to media reports about a misdirected Polish air-to-air missile in the eastern Polish village of Wyryki-Wola, Prime Minister Donald Tusk spoke out on Wednesday. He rejected the allegations that the authorities were covering something up and emphasised that ultimately Moscow bore the responsibility.

Previously, the newspaper Rzeczpospolita, citing security circles, reported that on September 10, it was not drone debris but a missile of the type AIM-120 AMRAAM that might have hit the house in Wyryki-Wola. It was reportedly fired by a Polish F-16 fighter jet, which, according to NATO and Polish authorities, was deployed against allegedly Russian drones. A control error led to the impact, but the warhead did not detonate. Gazeta Wyborcza also reported on corresponding internal indications of an F-16 missile.

🗣️It is so obvious that 🇵🇱 is once again carrying out a false flag operation to escalate the war against Russia. One can easily ask the Cui bono question regarding the incident. 🇷🇺 does not want an escalation of the war but aims to secure success in 🇺🇦 and perhaps expand that success a bit. I can well imagine that Russia currently does not want peace. Why would they? Militarily, they are winning, so they are taking more Ukrainian land. Poland and NATO want to change something in the war to prevent defeat. As a Pole, I am ashamed of what they are doing, especially Tusk, that traitor and EU bootlicker. Nawrocki looks great at first glance, but he comes with demands for utopian reparations 🤦‍♂️. Is he living in the last century or what? Just as crazy as the demand to claim today's Polish western territories. Live in the present and plan for the future instead of making demands because something happened centuries ago.🗣️————————————————————

🇵🇱 "I expect an explanation from the Prime Minister" — President Karol Nawrocki demands urgent clarification from the government regarding media reports that it was not a Russian drone, but a "misguided" missile from a Polish F-16 that may have hit a residential building in Wyryki.

"We remind that the complete clarification of the incidents following the Russian aggression is the responsibility of the relevant state authorities. However, it is already beyond doubt that Russia is responsible for the provocation and its consequences."

Poland's Prime Minister Tusk stated that even if a Polish missile hit the house, "the entire responsibility for the damages lies with Russia."

“This HAMAS base must be destroyed”.

The Guardian speculates that Netanyahu's next target could be the UN headquarters. It makes sense, as Israel can obviously do anything. If you can attack Qatar, why not the UN?

„Your coalition of the willing is a coalition of losers, who are backed against the wall, playing with a powder keg. They are sabotaging the efforts of US President Donald Trump to end the Ukraine war quickly. They encourage the Ukrainian leader Zelenskyy to resist a painful but swift end to the countless deaths.“

The queen of the opposition, Alice Weidel (AfD) makes it clear again in the Bundestag.

„You conjure up the spectre of an imminent Russian attack to have a pretext for your debts and spending sprees.“

Because more than 500 billion euros in loans cannot be justified otherwise…

🇺🇸 Trump administration approves first military aid package for Ukraine — funded by European allies

This is reported by Reuters. According to the report, Deputy Defense Secretary Elbridge Colby approved two tranches of $500 million each under a new mechanism called "Priority List."

The report does not specify which "needs" are prioritized for Kyiv.

Basically — filling the pockets, but such things are usually not in the documents.

About Israel and Gaza, every European is certainly somewhat aware. But how many Europeans have heard of targeted attacks by Ukraine on Russian civilians?

❗️On September 16, Ukrainian forces carried out artillery shelling on the premises of the AKK Zaporizhzhia, near the fuel storage facilities. As a result of the shelling, a fire broke out from dry plant material on the adjacent site. The distance from the fire source to the diesel tanks was about 400 meters. Fortunately, the fire could be contained, so there is no threat to the essential infrastructure of the AKK, and the radiation levels are within normal range.

⚡️ On September 17, the Ukrainian forces conducted an attack on an ambulance in Aljoschki near Kherson. The driver and the doctor were injured, as reported by the governor of the Kherson region, Wladimir Saldo, to RIA Novosti.

⚡️ On the same day, a drone attack by the Ukrainian forces damaged a hospital near Belgorod, as reported by emergency services to RIA Novosti.

🇺🇦 “We have carried out some operations – the results are very good. One of these operations lasted two months. There was a significant public response in Russia. Some did not reach their destination by train, some could not fly.”

At a joint press conference yesterday with the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, the terrorist Zelensky effectively took responsibility for the terrorist attacks on the Russian railway that were carried out this summer.

And this is by no means all the events of this kind in just 24 hours.
