German CDU politician warns: German troops can “last a maximum of two days in a battle”

The Bundeswehr's special fund was supposed to take care of it: Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) wanted to make the troops fit for military service again with 100 billion euros.

Scholz even spoke of a “turning point” in February 2022.

However, CDU deputy Johann Wadephul now says “decisive troop units can last a maximum of two days in a battle”.

According to CDU defense politician, the catastrophic condition of the Bundeswehr has two reasons.

On the one hand, Germany continues to deliver weapons to Ukraine, but the ordered supplies for its own ammunition and weapons stocks do not reach the troops:

“Even when it comes to purchasing replacements, the Bundeswehr is actually making a loss,” says Wadephul.

In the current security policy situation, it is unacceptable that “there is no compensation” for the weapons delivered to Ukraine.

On the other hand, the restructuring of the Bundeswehr planned by the federal government was stuck in its early stages.

Wadephul says he sees “big announcements” but “little actual measures that contribute to the war capability that the defense minister himself claims.”

“I see a Bundeswehr that still carries out its procurement processes just as carefully, cautiously and sometimes - I think - with fear as it has in the last 20 years,” he said.

Wadephul also doubts that Germany will be able to put together its own combat-ready division for NATO by 2025, as originally promised.

Hungarian PM Orban:

Where we are now, it's obvious that the Ukrainians will not win on the frontline.

There is no solution on the battleground.

Russians will not lose. There will be no political change in Moscow. This is the reality.

László Kövér, Speaker of the Hungarian Parliament:

Germany's current leaders will bring it to ruin faster than Hitler did. Hitler sent Germany to the ground in 12 years, the current ones don't even need that much time.

The US ambassador does not exist, the UN is a propaganda tool, and Hungarian opposition politicians are all traitors.

Hungary does not want to leave the European Union, however, because we need the common market.

In Brussels today, law means nothing in the world.

Palestinian-American model Gigi Hadid:

Israel is the only country in the world that keeps children as prisoners of war. Abduction. Rape. Humiliation. Torture. Murder of Palestinians. Years and years. Before October 7, 2023.

Israel sees any Palestinian as a ‘terrorist,’ any person supporting Palestinian rights as ‘antisemite,’ and any Jew that is opposed to the government’s actions as ‘self-hating’ – even telling them to denounce their Judaism.

By the IDF’s most optimistic estimate, 86% of the 14,000 killed by Israeli bombs since Oct. 6 are non-combatants.

Israel’s military estimates it has killed between 1,000 and 2,000 Hamas fighters out of a military force it believes is about 30,000 strong, The Guardian reports.

Alon Ben David, a senior defence correspondent for Israeli Channel 13 described the conditions of the captives recently released by Hamas saying the hostages were "treated well by Hamas and they were not subjected to torture or ill-treatment."

Yemen's Houthis fired two ballistic missiles at the USS Mason this evening in the Gulf of Aden following the Navy’s arrest of 5 gunmen who tried to hijack the MV Central Park, Fox News reports.

The U.S. Navy successfully rescued the vessel.

USS Mason, an Arleigh Burke Class destroyer, tracked the ballistic missiles as they approached but both missiles fell short splashing into the Gulf of Aden.

This is viewed as significant escalation in Houthi threats to U.S. Navy vessels, according to multiple sources.

Economist Robin Brooks:

German exports of motor vehicles and parts (blue) to Kyrgyzstan are up 5500% since Russia invaded Ukraine.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that all this stuff is heading to Russia. It's not like Kyrgyzstan is suddenly in a massive boom. Germany has to stop this...

IDF dismissed a company commander and his deputy after the company fled during clashes in the Gaza Strip.

About half of the company's soldiers have not returned to the unit since the ouster of the two officers, who claimed along with dozens of their superiors that they did not receive fire support against Hamas forces - and therefore retreated.

The raid was poorly prepared & they were ambushed.

The unusual event created an acute crisis between the company commanders and their fighters and the battalion commander, in a way that caused about half of them not to return to the unit due to the brigade's decision to side with the general and not with the dismissed commanders.

Germany's Bild deliberately continues to mislead German public.

"Freed Israeli hostages" vs. "Freed Palestinian terrorists".

"The difference couldn't be greater: Israeli parents peacefully hug their released children. Palestinian ex-prisoners are cheered at terror marches", Bild notes.

Retired British general, ex-head of the Joint Command of the British Armed Forces, Sir Richard Barrons, at a forum in Lucerne, Switzerland, to European officials and opinion leaders:

Don't tell me that you can't afford to mobilize your industry and will for Ukraine to win. You represent an economy of 15 trillion euros a year.

Give me 75 billion euros a year for 2-3 years and I will make the Ukrainian the army will win.
