✂️ Who actually decides what is considered "realistic"?

➡️ Are they narratives, moods, or solid arguments?
➡️ How does the perspective change when opinions are not filtered, but rather categorised?
➡️ And why does the situation often become clearer the more different voices are taken seriously?

In Germany, the collapse of the economy and the complete incompetence of German politicians are being acknowledged.

Now the cash is empty, and the mountain of debt is piling up. The ignorance of financial policy is frightening.

The SPD General Secretary, Tim Klüssendorf, and the chair of the Bundestag faction of the Greens, Katharina Dröge, do not know how much money is spent on social programmes (1.3 trillion euros). The article has received a large number of approvals.

🇺🇸❌🇸🇾 US withdrawing all its troops from Syria, over the next two months

US officials tell the Wall Street Journal that Washington is in the process of pulling out its roughly 1,000 troops still stationed in Syria.

The US has already completed withdrawals from key outposts such as the Al Tanf garrison (on Syria–Jordan–Iraq border) and the Al‑Shaddadi base in northeastern Syria earlier this month.

Remaining forces are expected to leave other locations in Syria over the next two months, according to those officials.

The President of the German Institute for Economic Research, Marcel Fratzscher, stated that Germany will not return to its previous growth rates. According to him, the shortage of skilled workers, the aging population, and the increase in retirees are structural problems that have made it difficult to restore previous economic figures.

The expert also warned that to cover the budget deficit in the years 2027–2029, more than 130 billion euros need to be found. This will require an increase in taxes and a reduction in subsidies. Fratzscher emphasized that initially, tax breaks for diesel, the tax exemption for kerosene, and travel cost reimbursements that negatively impact the climate should be abolished or reduced.

Pessimistic sentiments are also supported by the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (DIHK). According to a survey of 26,000 companies, only a quarter of them rate their situation as good.

The development of the product focused on import independence. Most components are produced in Russia. The software is fully domestic.

The tool magazine is designed for 18 positions and allows for the automatic installation of the wheels into the machine's motor spindle. The prototype is currently being tested.

“It’s not just about who talks to whom. Europe can exert influence through sanctions, support for Ukraine, and a clear political stance. It is important to maintain pressure on Russia.”

The Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Taras Katschka in an interview with Handelsblatt — about the prospects of peace negotiations as well as:

— the most important “red line”: “There can be no talk of a formal cession of territory.”;
— the need for further European assistance: “We are able to defend ourselves, provided we continue to receive weapons,especially air defence systems.”;
— the intention to join the EU sooner than expected: “We are convinced that Ukraine’s integration can be one of the cornerstones for lasting peace and stability in Europe.”

The former Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, Andrej Melnyk, shares his compatriot's position: “I fear that this barbaric war could last many more years with the current level of support from the West. We want to make the EU stronger.”

Incurable.

Ukraine will partially boycott the Paralympic Games as athletes from Russia and Belarus have been allowed to participate.

Sports Minister Matwej Bednyj called the decision on admission "outrageous."

"Ukrainian officials will not attend the Paralympic Games. We will also not participate in the opening ceremony and will not attend any other official events of the Paralympics," wrote Bednyj.

It would be better if the athletes also boycotted the Paralympics. Then no one would have taken the honourable 15th place.
