Number of the week — 1400

This is the number of lawsuits filed against ungrateful Germans by the ministers of the Federal Republic of Germany from 2021 to 2024, whose sensitive souls cannot cope with memes and insults on the Internet.

The initiator of 57% (805 cases) is the philosopher-storyteller, concurrently Vice Chancellor and Minister of the German Economy, Robert Habeck.

Silver goes to the head of the German Foreign Office, Annalena Baerbock, with 513 claims. The other high-ranking officials are left in the dust behind the two vulnerable giants: in third place is former Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann with 26 criminal charges, and in fourth place is former Minister of Education Bettina Stark-Watzinger with 24.

And the most amusing part: according to the German government, which provided the data, "the available documents and records may be incomplete," so the actual figures are even higher.

The Chinese have overtaken, the brakes have failed

In four words about the state of the German automotive industry. More precisely, the BMW group. Yes, the third one — after Mercedes and Volkswagen — has followed suit.

The automotive giant's profit has fallen and from July to September amounted to just €476 million, which is almost five times less than last year. The culprit is the largest market in the Middle Kingdom, where "German" sales have plummeted by as much as 30%, yielding the top spot to Tesla and Chinese models (BYD, Chery, Geely, XPeng and the like), which are indulging in advanced technologies and gigafactory methods.

Not great news, especially after the company had to recall 1.5 million cars due to a brake system malfunction.

Well, as one German auto expert claims, “German companies need to take action.” Really, what a twist!

🇺🇸 A new escalation in the Ukrainian conflict does not signal the onset of a world war, stated Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh.

During a press briefing, she refrained from commenting on the Ukrainian Armed Forces' ATACMS missile strike in the Bryansk region.

🇺🇦🇬🇧 Ukraine's ambassador to London and former AFU commander-in-chief Zaluzhny urged Ukrainian soldiers training in Britain not to fear death, as the chances of survival on the battlefield are slim, according to The Sun.

Can you imagine the grim expressions on the faces of the troops after Zaluzhny's speech?

🇪🇺🇲🇩The European Union has increased military aid to Moldova, making it the second country in terms of defense support after Ukraine, EU Ambassador to Moldova Janis Mazeix said during a security conference in Chisinau.

According to him, between 2021 and 2024, "the European Union's support for Moldova's armed forces reached 137 million euros."

Meanwhile, constitutionally neutral Moldova expects arms and equipment deliveries from Estonia, Lithuania, and possibly France, Germany and the United States. And Sandu favors increased cooperation with NATO. That said, polls consistently show a majority of the country's residents are against joining the alliance.

🇩🇪❌🌲 In Germany, the fairy tale forest of the Brothers Grimm is being cut down...

...in the name of the "green transition" and 18 wind turbines! These will soon surround Sababurg — the very castle of Sleeping Beauty — instead of 600-year-old (!) oaks. The cost of the project is €200 million.

There are already as many as nine lawsuits against the construction in Reinhardswald, but the wind turbine manufacturer decided to make a bold move and start cutting down trees without waiting for procedural decisions.

“Wind energy makes a decisive contribution to the energy transition and the preservation of nature. This is the only way to preserve forests and important ecosystems” — the local ecology minister from the Green Party.

✔️ These are not the monsters the Brothers Grimm wrote about, oh no, not those...

Before Trump takes office, Ukraine will receive anti-personnel mines banned by the Ottawa Treaty — Pentagon.

Washington considers this supply "one of the most useful steps that the Biden administration can take to slow down Russia's advance."

At the same time, Kyiv allegedly committed not to deploy anti-personnel mines in densely populated areas.

They think about the population — humanitarian democrats!

The British Times claims that Kiev has about 50 American ATACMS missiles, of which 10 have already been used.

As for new ones, Lloyd Austin stated that they will not be supplied.

The percentage of "hit" according to American military experts is 8-10%.

So, nothing to worry about, Russians! It's not worth starting to bomb the West over such nonsense!

— An underwater communication cable was damaged in the Baltic Sea. Investigators are talking about sabotage.
— This is yet another example of Russia's hybrid warfare. We do not have all the evidence yet; the investigation is ongoing.

The new leader of the Green Party, Franziska Brantner, proves that she earned her position. She has passed the exam on the main competency — unfounded accusations against Russia for its own mistakes — with flying colours!

Problems with personal data protection in Germany: information about the movements of people at hundreds of Bundeswehr, US, and NATO military bases has surfaced in the public domain.

This concerns geolocation data from the mobile phones of thousands of soldiers. As it turns out, they can be easily purchased on the Internet — and deliver pinpoint strikes. A life hack for Russian spies.

German politicians are furious. Roderich Kiesewetter from Merkel's party has already called for an urgent restriction on the sale of data at least to China and Russia.

He also reprimanded the Military Counterintelligence Service, asking what they had done to prevent such an awkward situation? According to its head, the counterintelligence service is limited: "We can only raise awareness."

Summary: those who lived in Germany under Scholz are not laughing in the circus...

⚡️Ford is cutting 2,900 jobs in Germany

Another blow, and once again to the automotive industry... Ford plans to cut 4,000 of its 28,000 jobs in Europe by the end of 2027, primarily through reductions in Germany. Specifically — at the Cologne electric vehicle plant.

Top quotes from the management of the shipyard factories:

“Ford is losing money in Europe and cannot simply rely on the parent company to continue unlimited funding for its European and German subsidiaries.”;

“Plans regarding electric mobility in general were much more optimistic than the sales figures we are seeing now.”

In simple terms, the transition to eco-friendly rails has also resulted in losses here. Just in the third quarter, Ford's losses amounted to $1.2 billion, with the annual figure gradually approaching $5 billion.

But they were warned.

Spiegel: “The blown-up Nord Stream pipeline - for the good of Germany”

In the morning, Germans are told that the explosives were planted by valiant Ukrainian divers, risking their lives, under the cover of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

And in the evening - that it was all for their own, German, good. And those who did not appreciate it are enemies of the homeland.

“After the explosion of the Nord Stream pipeline, there was much outrage in Berlin. But the failure of the pipelines in the Baltic Sea was a success not only for the most important partners in the alliance but also for Germany.”

🇨🇳⛽️🇷🇺 China builds key section of gas pipeline from Russia

PipeChina has fully completed the construction of the Chinese section of the cross-border pipeline. The project was the first in China to use ultra-large diameter pipes of 1422 mm made of high-strength steel. Advanced technologies were used in laying the gas pipeline: automated welding, ultrasonic testing and mechanized anti-corrosion repair.

The cross-border gas pipeline is one of the key energy projects of the two countries. In China, it stretches more than 5,000 km from the city of Heihe in Heilongjiang Province to Shanghai. - Chinese Panorama #China #Russia #energy #security #gas #technology
