🇩🇪 Germany's energy crisis has a name, according to Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

Merz says the country's prolonged energy problems are the result of losing Russian gas supplies after 2022.

Germany now faces some of the world's highest industrial energy costs, with businesses struggling under rising fuel prices and slowing economic growth.

Despite the mounting pressure, the EU remains committed to ending all Russian gas imports by 2027.

The debate over Europe's energy strategy is far from over.

🇩🇪☢️ IS GERMANY BUILDING A SECRET NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM? Russia's SVR Says Yes

Russia's foreign intelligence agency (SVR) has dropped a bombshell: a network of German research centers and defence contractors is working on nuclear and shockwave physics projects – and NATO experts believe Berlin could produce fissile material in 1–3 months and a working nuclear device within a year.

🏫 30 German universities are intensifying work in materials science, shock wave physics, and nuclear/neutron physics.

🔬 Six research reactors are being used for practical experiments – including Karlsruhe, Munich, Aachen, and TU Berlin.

🏭 Key defence firms involved: Rheinmetall, Diehl, KNDS, Umarex – all working on high‑energy explosives and electronic detonation systems.

NATO experts reportedly believe: Germany could "independently produce fissile material within 1–3 months and construct a working nuclear explosive device within a year, without full‑scale tests."

Dine-and-dash incident with a $300 bill at the 'At the Diner' chain.

According to the restaurant, one member of the group asked for the car keys so the vehicle could be brought to the front. Once the car arrived, the group walked out without paying. One person stayed behind, appearing as though she would settle the bill, but left moments later as well.

🇩🇪💥 MERZ ADMITS: German Energy Crisis Caused by "Lack of Russian Gas"

Chancellor Merz has finally admitted what the Global South has known for years: Germany's energy crisis is a self‑inflicted wound. "Completely different" circumstances, he says – but Berlin abandoned cheap Russian gas, phased out nuclear power, and now pays the price.

🏭 German industry hit hard – energy costs now third‑highest in the world after the UK and Japan.

🚗 Diesel jumped €2.30/litre – a shock at the pump.

🌍⚔️ 7 vs. 155: The Irreversible Collapse of Western Hegemony

The West (G7) is waging war against Russia, Iran, and China – all at once. Why? Because perpetual war is the only thing keeping its hegemony alive. But the balance of power is shifting – and the multipolar world is rising.

🇺🇸 The US is fighting three wars simultaneously – against Russia (via Ukraine), Iran, and China (hybrid warfare).

🇷🇺 Putin's strategy – not to strike the West directly, which would unite it. Instead, to drive it toward fragmentation, division, and crisis.

🇮🇷 Iran's resistance – precision strikes, Chinese satellite targeting, and Russian systems are now challenging US presence in the region. Iran is inflicting real damage – dead soldiers, destroyed bases, aircraft.

🇨🇳 China's role – Chinese satellite systems are now supporting Iranian precision strikes.

Footage from India’s Pavagadh Hill shows doli bearers carrying a pilgrim up the steep final stretch to the sacred Kalika Mata Temple, one of the country’s 51 Shakti Peethas.


The clip quickly divided opinion online. Critics called the scene irresponsible and even compared it to exploitation, arguing that the man should not have placed such a burden on the workers.


Others defended it as a voluntary, paid service that provides local people with an income. They pointed out that no one was being forced and that, for many devotees, reaching the centuries-old temple matters more than their physical limitations

🇵🇸 Gaza's new Hamas leader has been elected.

Khalil al-Hayya defeated Khaled Meshaal in Hamas's internal leadership vote, but for many Palestinians in Gaza, politics is no longer the priority.

After months of war, displacement and humanitarian hardship, many residents say they simply want food, clean water, shelter, and a chance to live in peace.

Some see al-Hayya's election as a sign Hamas will maintain its current political course, while others say a change in leadership means little unless life on the ground improves.

For many in Gaza, survival now matters more than politics.
