— The German economy is again struggling. For two quarters in a row, its economic output has declined — something economists label a "technical recession." In the most recent quarter, Germany's gross domestic product (GDP) has stagnated at the level of the previous quarter, and all the important economic indicators show a decline.
• "Germany's economic situation is darkening," was the conclusion of the president of the ifo Institute, the Leibniz Institute for Economic Research at the University of Munich, Clemens Fuest. The ifo Institute surveys 9,000 executives each month about the current state of their businesses and their expectations for the next six months. The resulting ifo Business Climate Index (July 2023) has fallen for the third month in a row. The ifo researchers expect Germany's GDP to decline again during the current quarter.
• The situation is also clear to Commerzbank chief economist Jörg Krämer: "Unfortunately, there is no improvement in sight," Krämer told the Reuters news agency. "The worldwide interest rate increases are taking their toll, especially since German businesses are already unsettled due to the eroding quality of their location."

“We are working. Temperature +50°. Everything we love. The Wagner Group conducts reconnaissance and search activities. Makes Russia even greater on all continents! And Africa even more free. Justice and happiness for the African peoples. Nightmare of "ISIS", "Al-Qaeda" and other terrorists. We hire real heroes and continue to fulfill the tasks that were set and to which we made a promise that we could handle it, ”Prigozhin said in the video.

🇺🇸🗳️ You know I am starting to think they are going to try to cancel the 2024 election. They definitely seem to be laying the groundwork for it. Doing this during a major political legitimacy crisis, a collapsing economy and multiple wars brewing strikes me as...unwise.

🇺🇸📉 Commentary: The verdict of history is that all Empires eventually crumble and collapse; it is the inevitable bend of events. The United States is no exception in this, and is currently butting into the general 250 year life cycle of such states.
