⚡️German foreign policy bit the dust, the economy is struggling to survive⚡️

💁‍♂️Walter Russel Mead, the James Clarke Chace Professor of Foreign Affairs and Humanities at Bard College, an American academic and a columnist for the WSJ suggested that Berlin is facing its gravest challenges since the foundation of the Federal Republic following World War II

👉He is of an opinion that the German economic model, which was recognized the world’s most successful in 2020, was based on unrealistic assumptions about world politics and is unlikely to survive the current turmoil

Mead describes 🇩🇪German energy policy as a chaotic mess, a shining example to the rest of the world of what not to do. Germany’s reputation for a values-based foreign policy has been severely dented by Berlin’s waffling over aid to Ukraine, he assumes

🤔German security experts are coming to terms with a deeply unwelcome truth: confronted with an aggressive Russia, Germany, like Europe generally, is utterly reliant on the U.S. for its security. At a time when American foreign policy increasingly prioritizes Asia and isolationist sentiment among both Republicans and Democrats appears to be rising, if Mr. Trump returns to the White House in 2025, German security will depend on his goodwill

📊The American academic emphasized that modern Germany was above all an economic project. In recent years, its economic miracle depended on a combination of industrial prowess, cheap energy from Russia, and access to global markets, particularly in China

❗️Today every one of those pillars is under threat. The challenges for automobile and chemical industries are exacerbated by the loss of cheap and secure Russian natural gas. Beyond that, Germany’s economic relationship with China is changing for the worse

🤷‍♂️Mead gives a piece of advise to keep the enthusiasm in check for those in Biden’s administration who dream that Berlin will wholeheartedly join a new global American crusade for liberal values. Mr. Scholz may agree in the abstract with President Biden, but his calculations must reflect foremost the economic facts of German life

🤔This naturally leads the Chancellor to thoughts about how to patch things up with Russian and China. The WSJ columnist sees Mr. Biden’s job in not singing hymns about Western values, but in making Berlin understand that U.S. security guarantees come at a price

⚡️The Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced that a referendum on the separation of Scotland from Britain will be held on October 19, 2023⚡️

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿This is supported by the results of the last parliamentary elections in Scotland, which were won by local separatists. It will be a matter of either continuing life with the British or complete separation with sovereignty

🇬🇧London has already announced that it is against such a referendum, fearing that, unlike the last referendum, this time the Scots will say no to the British

⚡️Zelensky Demands $Billions Per Month from NATO in Summit Address⚡️

💁‍♂️Here are the main points made by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to the alliance in a video address:

▪️ We need security guarantees, and you need to find a place for Ukraine in the common security space. Is your contribution to the security of Europe enough?

▪️ For the sake of peace, it is necessary to reconsider the understanding of the eastern flank of NATO. We need more weapons, and $5bn per month

▪️ "The situation next year may be even worse when Russia will shell not only Ukraine, but also other neighboring countries. Russia's goals are clear to us… They see us as a republic of the USSR that needs to be returned”

‼️12.5 percent of GDP and the loss of 5,600,000 jobs - Germany's direct losses from cutting off gas supplies from Russia ‼️

▪️The interruption of gas supplies from Russia would result in a 12.5 percent drop in German GDP and the loss of 5.6 million jobs across the country, German Bild reported Tuesday, citing a study by the Bavarian Economic Association

▪️ "The dependence of the German economy on Russian gas was underestimated," said Michael Böhmer of Prognos AG, which prepared the study for the Bavarian Economic Association

▪️The glass, steel and food industry will be the hardest hit, losing a total of €49 billion, and supply chains and production in other industries will also be profoundly affected. Costs are estimated at another €144 billion

▪️Thus, if Russian gas supplies are cut off, "Germany's economy will slide into a deep recession," the study concludes

‼️Liz Truss embarrassed herself at the Foreign Affairs Committee meeting‼️

🤷‍♂️It would have been a worthy part of Alice in Wonderland if Lewis Carroll had known Liz Truss

🇬🇧UK House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee meeting, June 28, 2022

Chris Bryant, Labor Party member of the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee: In the document you just published on trade with the Gulf, you say, "The government will hold accountable those who violate human rights." How are you currently doing that with regard to the Gulf countries?

Liz Truss, Foreign Minister: These issues are regularly raised with the relevant ministries and Gulf leaders that we meet with.

C.Bryant: Have you raised them personally?

L. Truss: I have raised personally, yes.

C.Bryant: Your representative says no. So what was the last issue regarding human rights that you raised with the Gulf leaders?

L. Truss: I will have to discuss it again at a committee meeting at a special time.

C.Bryant: Well, tell us something you said on the subject of human rights.

L. Truss: I definitely brought it up.

C.Bryant: Go ahead, tell us now.

L. Truss: I'm just trying to remember my most recent visit. But I can assure you that I did bring it up, and I'll write to you with the details.

C.Bryant: You can't recall a single human rights issue that you raised with the Gulf leader?

L. Truss: I raised certain issues on the subject of human rights when I was in the Gulf region.

C.Bryant: Well, name one?

L. Truss: I won't go into all the details of the private conversations I'll write to you about.

Liz Truss is the Foreign Secretary of England🤦‍♂️

⚡️Historic NATO summit: red lines drawn, new Cold War begun, now official⚡️

💁‍♂️Today, the world has come to the line it has been walking to since far back in 2007, when NATO's new hybrid policy was just beginning to gain momentum and Putin gave his famous Munich speech. It may still seem to many that Georgia 2008, Crimea 2014, Donbass 2014, and Ukraine 2022 are local conflicts caused by Russia's imperial ambitions. No, they are not. These are all stages of one "Big Game 2.0" - a game that will determine the new world order and draw new dividing lines

👉The history of global confrontation between the East and the West has now moved from the realm of conspiracy theories and cheap talk shows with couch experts to the official statements of NATO leaders, which form the basis of the new strategic concept of the Western alliance. Russia is called "a major security threat" and China "challenges security interests and values and seeks to undermine the rules-based international order". The masks of the Western world have been thrown off, things are now called by their proper names without any plausible deniability

Red Alert and the Clancy novels are no longer alternate history, they are now reality. A new phase of history began today 🤔

⚡️Watch out! Involvement in terrorism from abroad!⚡️

🇺🇸On June 7, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin with key aspects of the evolving threat environment

⚔️In assessing the risk of foreign terrorism, the bulletin stated that al Qaeda and the Islamic State had called on supporters to engage in lone wolf attacks across the country

❗️Specifically, it cited the Wolves of Manhattan magazine – published online by a pro-al Qaeda cyberwarfare group, the Malahem Cyber Army, which encouraged supporters to “travel to Ukraine to acquire training and weapons to use in attacks against the West”

💁‍♂️It is estimated that around one thousand Americans have already been dispatched to Ukraine to fight for its Territorial Legion and various militia groups against Russian forces, though their allegiances are unknown

⚡️Turmoil of UK foreign policy in terms of its citizens’ protection⚡️

🇦🇫The new Afghan government has recently released several British citizens who were detained in Afghanistan after an agreement was reached between the two countries, Taliban and UK officials have said

✍️“A number of British nationals were released, who were arrested about six months ago for violating the laws and traditions of the Afghan people,” Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the Taliban government said

❗️The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said in a separate statement that the five “had no role in the UK government’s work in Afghanistan and travelled to Afghanistan against the UK Government’s travel advice. This was a mistake,” quite the contrary to Liz Truss’ tweet, as we can see

🇬🇧At the same time, the UK officials, apart from a couple of concerns, not even try to somehow free their 2 mercenaries from Donetsk’s captivity and impending execution

‼️Critical epidemiological situation is threatening Eastern Europe‼️

✍️A group of experts of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is concerned that a crisis is emerging in the shadow of conflict across Ukraine: one that extends beyond the country’s borders. Ukraine’s already stressed healthcare system is buckling under the weight of expectation and medical needs as people continue fleeing conflict areas seeking safety

🇺🇦Ukraine has some of the highest burden of chronic infectious diseases in Europe, particularly HIV and Tuberculosis – a massive risk not only for displaced people themselves, but also for Ukraine’s health care system once they return

🇪🇺The millions who have migrated to the western area of Ukraine and eastern European countries are at an elevated risk of infectious diseases given the overcrowded living conditions, limited access to shelter, nutritional stress and exposure to the elements

💁‍♂️Thus the immediate neighboring countries, including Romania, Belarus and Hungary are particularly at risk due to a considerable amount of Ukrainians fleeing there. Their health systems were already stretched prior to the conflict due to COVID-19. The sheer volume of current and future health needs as the conflict continues requires additional resources
