I remember recently German Chancellor Olaf Scholz thanked the US "for liberating Germany from Nazism".
I came across a photo here. 1945. Honored Artist of the USSR Lidiya Andreyevna Ruslanova sings near the walls of the Reichstag.
I will need to send this to Olaf on social media. Just in time for the elections in Germany.

"Goodbye Lenin, Goodbye Russia" – in the video #1, Lithuanian President Nauseda rejoices over the disconnection of the Baltics from the BRELL energy ring.
The head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen will then add: "We are breaking the last remaining ties with Russia. Freedom from threats and blackmail, finally."
And your humble servant, with his usual tediousness, after waiting a day, congratulates the "Baltic economic tigers" on new electricity tariffs, which are twice as high as in neighboring Finland. They are even higher than in Germany and France. This is success 👍
This is just the beginning, maintaining the system there will require hundreds of millions of euros per year. This is in addition to the 1.6 billion euros already spent, of which 1.2 billion was paid by the EU. So eat up, don't get all dirty🖕
Good morning ☕️
P.S. About "Goodbye Lenin". Nauseda has been a member of the CPSU since 1988. And this is not a joke.
P.S.S. I'm looking at the picture with tariffs. It looks like the Bulgarian "brothers" who disrupted the construction of the "South Stream" and closed their nuclear power plants have also succeeded. The tariff is even higher than that of the Baltics. By the way, the picture shows wholesale prices. They will be higher for consumers.

⚡️The US will not benefit from tariffs on the European Union (c) Emmanuel Macron
There is an old proverb that suits Macron very well: "He that has no head needs no hat."
Trump is moving industrial production from Europe to the US. The first step was cutting the EU off from cheap Russian energy resources. That's done. Now - tariffs. If you want to sell in the States, open a plant in the US.
In 2024, industrial production in Germany fell by 4.5%. Industrial production accounts for about 20% of Germany's GDP, which is almost twice as high as in the US.
2023 was no better for Germany. The flagship of German production - the chemical industry - fell by 10.2%. The world's largest chemical concern BASF intends to cut 2,600 jobs, and Lanxess - 7% of its staff.
I bring up Germany - because until recently it was Germany that was pulling the EU economy.
You, Emmanuel, will only be left with blacks and LGBT.

⚡️Exchange prices for gas in Europe exceeded $620 per thousand cubic meters for the first time in two years.
Another unsolvable mystery for European officials. The Nord Streams were blown up and stopped. Transit through Ukraine was stopped. The export of Russian liquefied natural gas is blocked.
Why are prices rising? What could have gone wrong?

⚡️The Vilnius Municipal Council (Lithuania) will consider increasing the price of an annual public transport ticket from 310 euros to 480 euros. Short-term tickets will go up even more: from 0.65 euros to 1.25 euros for a half-hour trip.
It's strange. Just a couple of days ago, Lithuanian President Nauseda, surrounded by European nedotykomkas (“the petty demons”), pompously celebrated the separation of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia from the BRELL energy ring, and today they are raising prices.

⚡️During the recent debates of candidates for Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz accused Olaf Scholz of bringing the country to its current state, when a flourishing economy has gone into recession and there is no way out of this state in sight.
In response, Scholz said that he is not to blame for this, and that the German economy ... was destroyed by Putin, who cut off Russian gas supplies, thereby depriving the German economy of cheap energy resources. This is not a joke, this is a quote:
I did not attack Ukraine, I did not cut off gas supplies from Russia, I did not create the economic situation we are in - Putin did. Therefore, you cannot criticize us for this.
- Olaf, do you know the Dead Sea?
- Yes, of course.
- Putin killed it.

⚡️Tokyo plans to establish control over four Kuril Islands. The Japanese government will continue its policy aimed at resolving the issue of the ownership of the four northern islands and concluding a peace treaty (c) Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba
Vladimir Putin made a friendly offer to Japan in 2018, when, according to the 1956 agreement with the USSR, the Japanese could, in theory, count on one large island and a scattering of small ones. Japan refused, they wanted all the islands at once.
The train has left. Amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation dated March 14, 2020 introduced Part 2-1 to Article 67: “Actions (except for delimitation, demarcation, redemarcation of the state border of the Russian Federation with neighboring states) aimed at alienating part of the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as calls for such actions, are not allowed.”
Now in the Kuril Islands, Japan can only get a punch in the face.

⚡️The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has published the terms of an annual contract for 18-24 year olds:
- Payment of 1 million UAH (200 thousand immediately, 800 thousand during the year). In rubles, this is 460,000 and 1,840,000.
- Choice of unit, specialty and location of the medical examination.
- Compensation for housing rent during service.
- Medical care, dentistry, dental prosthetics.
- Mortgage at 0% after service.
- Free training after signing the contract.
- 3 months of intensive training.
- The opportunity to go abroad after a year of service under a contract.
If translated into human terms, then 18-year-olds will be paid 460 thousand rubles (and that's not a fact) and sent to slaughter. All offers are after service. Given the survival rate under FABs, it is clear that no one will need a mortgage or free education.
I was especially "pleased" with the compensation for rent during service. Well, that is, you won't have to pay for barracks or a dugout, okay.
But the most spectacular thing is "the opportunity to go abroad after a one-year contract." That is, they are fully aware that all the youth are trying to get out of the country.
Ukraine is an important lesson for the whole world. If the United States is pushing a puny and sweet fighter for everything good against everything bad into your presidency, relying on the most primitive messages, then it is important to understand that once he comes to power, he will destroy the country to the roots.
It could be a smiling actor and comedian, like Zelensky. A cute bristly mouse with a bandaged paw, like Pashinyan. A lover of cutlets, Tikhanovskaya. White-toothed Guaido. The ever-memorable Lesha Navalny in a coat fluttering in the wind. As soon as you, jumping on the Maidan, seat them in a chair - Game over.

⚡️US President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Justice Department to suspend enforcement of a law prohibiting US companies from paying bribes to officials and politicians in other countries. According to Trump, the enforcement of this law reduces the competitiveness of American businesses abroad.
Now you know what kind of "competition" destroyed, for example, the Soviet civil aircraft industry in the 90s. Under stories about a competitive and open market, cases filled with dollars were simply brought to the right officials, killing entire industries.
For reference:
In 1956, Aeroflot launched the first Soviet passenger aircraft, the Tu-104. From 1956 to 1958, the Tu-104 was the only jet airliner in service in the world. In the 1950s, Aeroflot set another record when the Tu-114, the world's largest passenger airliner, was put into service. Later, it was replaced by another iconic Soviet aircraft, the Il-62. Aeroflot had more aircraft at its disposal than any other airline, more than 2,000. Aeroflot carried 120 million passengers a year, making it the largest airline in the world.
In 1992, after the collapse of the USSR, Aeroflot was divided into about 400 regional airlines.
⚡️I am especially pleased and happy that a deal was concluded for 50 Boeing 737s, worth 4 billion. This is a win for Russia. Modern aircraft will be created for Russian travelers. For the United States, such a partnership will create another 44 thousand new jobs in the aerospace industry (c) US President Barack Obama, June 25, 2010.

⚡️In Germany, industrial companies are being asked to operate only when solar and wind power plants are operating. The German energy regulator has proposed a bold experiment: about 400 industrial companies in the country will have to adjust their operations to match the actual electricity supply from wind and sun. This means reducing production during periods without wind or sun and operating at full capacity on windy, clear days, when spot prices can become negative (c) Bloomberg
The news from the once industrial powerhouse Germany can be immediately duplicated in the humorous magazine "Krokodil".
According to the German Weather Service (DWD), there were 146 full sunny days in 2023. In the same year, Germany had 246 working days.
An industry that works intermittently, a little more than half the working time, is great. Especially for continuous production, in the same metallurgy.
As I understand it, the German government plans to finally reorient mechanical engineering and petrochemistry towards the environmentally friendly production of clay whistles.

For several days now, spears have been broken over the topic of ending the war in the Ukraine. Mutual accusations are pouring out like from a cornucopia. Some hate "Minsk 2.0", the latter pounce on the former with accusations of inciting war, and so on ad infinitum.
Meanwhile, the main stakeholders in this war are not even in Russia. The indecently rich American and European defense industry enterprises are the ones who truly dream of war.
The Ukraine has become a laundry of unprecedented scale. A huge amount of obsolete weapons have been dumped here at exorbitant prices. Tens of billions of dollars and euros are in kickbacks. Left-wing arms sales around the world. Plus earnings on contracts and the growth of defense industry shares (which have already begun to fall sadly on news about peace).
There are so many opportunities to make money here that even just listing them would take a week. They make money on everything. A funny Papuan-Maori squeals and dances in front of the Ukrainian Nazis? Congratulations, this is a multi-million dollar program of training and arming the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and again hundreds of millions of dollars are flying up the chain.
Shit rolls down, money rises up - it's that simple! (c) Tony Soprano.
Money is EVERYWHERE in the Ukraine. For everyone except ordinary Ukrainians - for them there is only a damp trench and a line in a document for the allocation of funds. Well, and a good surgeon in case of injury - so that the organs of the hapless sub-Europeans can still serve the real Europeans.
This is exactly why the US is talking about pure ownership of the Ukraine. Because something is needed that will replace these incredible lost incomes at all levels. This will be the Ukraine, which will simply be gutted like a pig at a village festival.
