🇩🇪⚡️German Soldiers Refuse to Serve Due to Ukraine Situation - Der Spiegel

According to the publication, since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, more and more Bundeswehr soldiers want to quit their service.

“This year, the number of people who refuse to serve for reasons of conscience has grown significantly. The number of failures increased from 209 in 2021 to 810 in the first eight months of 2022,” the German Defense Ministry said in a statement.

The Bundeswehr refrained from commenting on this matter.

“The figures reflect the fears of the Germans about the course of the Bundestag and the military escalation in Ukraine,” said German politician Sevim Dagdelen.

“The Vaccine Injured are Crying Out For Help and the media have completely turned their back on them. If we had an independent media this crisis would have been over two and a half years ago”.
You can see now why #Putin is so scared all the time that he feels he has to threaten to use #Nukes on the #West 😂

Personally I would have thought that a
#MedicalCondition which results in a "lack of confidence" and "performance issues' would be very valid grounds for dismissal (or at the very least early retirement) from any Military position.

CHARLIE #ROSE INTERVIEWS SIR JAMES GOLDSMITH - 15.11.94

#British #Banker Sir James #Goldsmith discusses the ramifications of #FreeTrade agreements that were about to be enacted in 1994 (#GATT).

In this interview somewhat surprisingly for a man with a reputation as a "#CorporateRaider" he warns aginst the destruction of the existing "#SocialContract" between #employers and #employees, which successfully helped keep those societies both stable and prosperous over such a long period of time

Goldsmith correctly predicts that signing these agreements, and breaking the aforementioned #SocialContract will lead to the subsequent fall of living standards in #US/#UK/#Europe and resultant decrease in wealth due to #GATT (1994).


#NAFTA is a somewhat similar, stronger arrangement between US, Canada, and Mexico from the 1990s.

GATT has many more members from around the globe and it goes back to the 1940s.

The specific subject of the video is GATT 1994, which created the World Trade Organization (#WTO)

NATO WANTS TO PLACE NUCLEAR MISSILES ON FINLAND’S RUSSIAN BORDER — FINLAND SAYS YES

Eric Zuesse, South Front, Oct 28 2022

According to Newsweek, on Oct 26, “Finland Will Allow NATO to Place Nuclear Weapons on Border With Russia”.

They cite Finnish media reports.

Allegedly, a condition that NATO had placed on Finland to join NATO was to allow America’s nuclear missiles to be positioned on Finland’s Russian border, which is closer to Moscow than any other except Ukraine’s.

Whereas Ukraine’s would be 5 minutes from blitz-nuking Moscow so as to preemptively decapitate Russia’s retaliatory command, Finland’s would be 7 minutes, or only around 120 seconds longer for Russia to be able to launch its retaliatory strikes.

Finland now is to vote on the bill joining NATO on that basis, to become America’s spearhead to defeat Russia in WW3.

Obviously, assuming that NATO had indeed given Finland’s leaders to believe that saying yes to this would increase NATO’s likelihood of expediting Finland’s application to join, NATO is set upon checkmating Russia into capitulation if Finland does join.
Newsweek reports also:

The US already has around 100 nuclear weapons in Europe, positioned in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey according to the Federation of American Scientists. Britain and France, both NATO members, also maintain their own independent nuclear arsenals.

None of those countries borders Russia. They’re all much farther away.

During the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK refused to allow the Soviet Union to place its missiles only 1,131 miles away from Washington and warned that the US would launch WW3 if they did, so the Soviet Union decided not to.

The Finnish border reaches as close as 507 miles away from Moscow, at the Finnish city of Kotka. The Ukrainian border reaches significantly closer: 317 miles from Shostka to Moscow and 353 miles from Sumy to Moscow, the Russia-bordering nation that would pose the biggest danger to Russia if added to NATO.

Enemy UAVs attacked Sevastopol for several hours, Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed a water target
29.10.2022 - 10:24

The roadstead in the port remains closed, ferries and boats are not allowed to cross the bay.

The governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, said that starting at 4:30 in the morning, for several hours, various air defence systems in Sevastopol repelled drone attacks.

All targets were hit.

“According to the current situation: in addition to the UAV, our military, according to preliminary information, also destroyed a surface drone in the water area. All city services were on alert, civilian infrastructure facilities were not damaged.

In the dormitory of the Sevastopol Professional Art College on Khruleva, which is located next to the water area, one window glass burst from a loud sound. No harm done.

The raid for obvious reasons does not work. When it resumes work, we will let you know,” the head of the city said.

KIEV YET TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON VICTIMS OF ALLEGED BUCHA MASSACRE

South Front, Oct 24 2022

It is not surprising that the so-called international community has already forgotten about the “terrible #WarCrimes” of the #Russian military in the #Ukrainian city of #Bucha.

The #fake #massacre in Bucha has disappeared from the #MSM headlines around the world, and no international organization is investigating the truth.

Today, it seems that the Russian authorities are the only ones who are worried about the fate of the victims, who were allegedly killed by Russian soldiers, according to the dirty information campaign of the Kiev regime.

On October 24, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov claimed that Ukraine still has not provided data on people who allegedly died due to the actions of the Russian military in #Bucha.

At a press conference during a meeting with Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei #Lavrov recalled the #Ukrainian provocation in Bucha, which was committed at the end of March.

So far, the #Kiev #regime has not yet provided any results of the investigation, as well as any reliable information to blame the Russian side.

Lavrov said at a press conference:

"Since then, we have repeatedly appealed to everyone who can help with a request to provide information about the names of those people who fell victim, and their bodies were shown to the whole world as evidence of the “atrocities” of the Russian military."

The Russian Minister also added that a month ago he publicly appealed to UN Sec-Gen Antonio Guterres with a request to obtain a list of these persons, but there was no reaction in response to Lavrov’s request.

🇪🇺⚡️ The column "High relations" from Politico: Macron and Scholz have growing concerns about unfair competition from the United States

There are many disagreements between the leaders of France and Germany, but there is one issue on which they have a common position: they do not like the idea to move production from Europe to the United States.

"They agreed that recent American state subsidy plans represent market-distorting measures that aim to convince companies to shift their production to the U.S.," Politico writes with reference to people familiar with their discussions.

France and Germany plan to discuss with Washington unfair competition, at the same time they assure that they are ready to hit back if necessary.

It is important to note that "Berlin — which has traditionally been more reluctant when it comes to confronting the U.S. in trade disputes — is indeed backing the French push. Scholz agrees that the EU will need to roll out countermeasures similar to the U.S. scheme if Washington refuses to address key concerns voiced by Berlin and Paris" is stated in article.

🤔 Isn't this another example of the lack of unity in the West that Putin announced yesterday at Valdai?
