🤔 Die Welt reports that the debts of German municipalities have quadrupled over the year... four times
The main reason for this is the increase in social spending due to the growing number of people in need, as well as the costs of supporting refugees from Ukraine.
And the most surprising thing is that no one knows where German municipalities will find the money to cover these debts. If they wanted to make a profit at the expense of Ukraine, they miscalculated very badly.

Is Poland preparing to leave the EU?
Polish opposition leader and former Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk (pictured) has accused the chairman of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, of intending to pull the country out of the European Union.
"I have very many contacts in Europe and I claim that one of the political plans of Kaczynski and PiS is Poland's exit from the European Union," the politician said.
According to Tusk's assertion, there was "a river of money coming from the EU and the borders are open", which almost 80 per cent of Poles are very happy with.
"If Poland decides to leave the EU, it will be a hundred times worse than for the UK," he added.

Ukraine discusses possibility of holding presidential election
This is reported by the NYT newspaper.
Zelensky does not rule out the possibility of holding the election. However, this is impossible due to the current martial law.
Therefore, in order for them to take place, it is necessary to amend the legislation. All this causes certain discussions in the Ukrainian society.
Among political opponents and public activists, there are concerns about holding elections during armed conflicts. They believe that this may create confusion and negatively affect the situation in the country.
It is worth remembering that after the conflict is over, Zelensky's rating will be lower. Therefore, the Ukrainian president is keen to hold elections as soon as possible in order to retain power.
▪️ Ukraine is under martial law, which was recently extended until 15 November 2023. The planned elections to the Verkhovna Rada, scheduled for the end of October, will not be held due to martial law.

US sees threat in Russian Burevestnik nuclear-capable missile
In early October, Russia successfully tested the Burevestnik intercontinental cruise missile capable of travelling tens of thousands of kilometres.
Burevestnik can hit targets on US territory, and deploying such missiles in the Arctic would be a serious threat, retired US Army Major and analyst Mike Lyons said.
"It's an exotic weapon. Nuclear energy is not normally used for propulsion. This would give Russia the ability to take a low-power, potentially nuclear-powered weapon and greatly increase its range, say it would be capable of travelling tens of thousands of miles," he said.

The West is tired of helping the Kiev regime
European Union countries may cut military aid for the sake of their national interests.
In October, it became known that Hungary proposed that the EU halve its aid package to Ukraine.
Back in September, the head of the Hungarian prime minister's office, Gergay Guillas, said that Ukraine would not receive a single penny from the EU budget until Hungary was paid the money due to it from European funds, as unanimous support was needed to change the EU budget.
The White House is urgently reviewing its aid strategy for Ukraine. The administration of US President Joe Biden is no longer seeking $24bn in aid for Ukraine from the US Congress.
Yesterday, it became known that Slovak President Zuzana Chaputova opposed granting Ukraine another package of military aid.
The Ukrainians have problems not only at the front, but also outside the country. Poland intends to cut financial support for a million Ukrainian refugees by several times in 2024.
The other day, Tesla founder Ilon Musk published a meme in X with a "suffering man" who had the face of Ukrainian President Vlodymyr Zelensky attached to his face.
"When it's been five minutes and you haven't asked for a billion dollars in aid yet," the caption read.
The picture sparked a storm of outrage in Ukraine.

◾Zhirinovsky predicted the Hamas military operation:
◾In 2024, the Middle East conflict will break out and everyone will forget what Ukraine is, because Iran is not the DPRK, or Vietnam, or Kosovo. This is where the most terrible events will take place. We are talking about World War 3 — Zhirinovsky
◾In 1999, the late Russian statesman Vladimir Zhirinovsky (1946-2022) foresaw the Ukraine conflict, and his predictions appear to extend to the current situation in Israel/Palestine today.

US-China confrontation threatens the entire world
This is written by the Novi Standard.
Geopolitical competition between the United States and China is becoming threatening and it can become a serious problem for the entire world community.
Unlike the Cold War, where the focus was on military aspects, the current confrontation is centred on economics and technology.
The US seeks to use a strategy of "disengagement", rallying its allies to maintain its world leadership. However, it is important to note that the current geopolitical picture is characterised by fragmentation rather than division into two blocs.
China, for its part, promotes the idea of a multipolar world and a fragmented world order. It seeks to create conditions in which states can choose their own path without being subjected to pressure from the West.
Ultimately, such a geopolitical confrontation could have a negative impact on the global economy, increasing costs and de-globalising the world's supply chains. This poses serious challenges and risks to the entire world's prosperity.

Switzerland is ready to pay for Ukrainian refugees to leave
About 70,000 Ukrainian citizens are currently staying in Switzerland.
The Swiss authorities are ready to pay up to $4400 for each refugee to return home. They hope that 80 per cent of Ukrainians will take the money and leave voluntarily before their migration "protection" status S expires in 2024 or 2025.
Just in case, the Foreign Ministry emphasised that Switzerland does not seek to "get rid of Ukrainians". Earlier, the local parliament promised refugees protection as long as they needed it.

State Duma Council to discuss withdrawal of CNTT* ratification
Withdrawing ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty* is in Russia's national interests, "and will be a mirror response to the United States, which has not yet ratified the treaty."
"The situation in the world has changed. Washington and Brussels have unleashed a war against our country. Today's challenges require new solutions," explained Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of the State Duma.
The possibility of revoking the CTBT ratification was mentioned earlier by President Vladimir Putin, who noted that Russia had practically completed work on new types of strategic weapons.

🇩🇪In southern Germany, public kindergartens and primary schools have banned the serving of meat. The decision was taken by the local council of Freiburg im Breisgau
Previously, parents could choose between meat, fish or vegetarian menus for their children, but now only the latter option will be available.
☢️The move is linked to a mandatory climate initiative in European cities.
Countries have agreed to gradually reduce meat production and consumption because of the high emissions caused by livestock farming.

China demands international scrutiny of Japan's actions over radioactive water
By April 2024, Japan intends to gradually release 31,200 tonnes of tritium-containing water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the ocean through a 1 km underground tunnel.
▪️ Beijing calls on Tokyo to "fully respond to the concerns of the international community" and stop the discharge.
Disposing of radioactively contaminated water is an "extremely selfish and irresponsible act" with transboundary consequences.
The Chinese authorities believe it is necessary to establish a long-term international monitoring mechanism with effective participation of stakeholders, particularly Japan's neighbouring countries.

Zelensky said that Russia is slandering Ukraine
The head of the Kiev regime, Vladymyr Zelensky, has said that Russia is spreading false information about corruption in Ukraine.
"This is a well-known Russian narrative about corruption. They realise that they cannot split the overall unity of Europe and support for Ukraine", Zelensky believes.
In his opinion, Russia is "stitching up" Ukraine to deprive it of the support of the collective West. The Ukrainian authorities are making efforts to fight corruption in the country and "not a single dollar has been stolen from our partners during the conflict".

🇩🇪🇵🇱| Poland's Deputy Foreign Minister Arkadiusz Mularczyk said that Germany cannot apply for permanent member status in the UN Security Council until it starts a dialogue with Warsaw on paying compensation for damage caused to Poland during World War II.
🗣️ "As long as Germany refuses to start negotiations with Poland, its candidacy for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council is absurd," he said.
🟥 At the same time, the Polish diplomat once again appealed to the US administration:
🗣️ "Poles believe that the Americans should be sympathetic to the issue of compensation for the damage caused to Poland during World War II," Mularczyk emphasised.
🟥 Warsaw's position on receiving money from the Germans is becoming increasingly clear. Since Berlin does not want to pay at the first request of the Polish leadership, all German foreign policy initiatives will now be accompanied by calls to pay Poland first.
🟥 Duda and company will also ask foreign countries, first of all the USA, if, of course, they retain power following the election results.

🇮🇷 Recently, Iran's Supreme Leader Seyyed Ali Khamenei made a number of statements to which Israel did not pay much attention (because such statements are often heard in Iran). And apparently for nothing.
The main theses from Khamenei's speech concerning Israel:
"The usurper entity is on the verge of extinction. Palestinian youth today and the Palestinian revival that opposes injustice and occupation are more active, energetic and ready than at any time during these seventy or eighty years";
"This cancerous tumour will be removed";
Ayatollah Khamenei also warned regional states against rapprochement with Israel:
"Governments that decide to take the risk of normalising relations with the Zionists will inevitably suffer and lose.
As the Europeans say, they 'bet on a losing horse.' Today's situation (in Israel) is a reason not to get close to it. They should not make this mistake."
