"Now the arrogant delusion is taking its toll" — Alice Weidel

"The Iran war has ruthlessly exposed a main cause of the catastrophic decline of our country and its economic power. Now the arrogant delusion that we can do without cheap Russian gas and oil and instead have to buy expensive liquefied gas at market prices is taking its toll."

The co-chair of the AfD, Alice Weidel — on Germany's stubborn refusal to source energy resources from Russia, despite the rising prices for oil and gas due to the Middle East conflict.

"Is it in Germany's interest to do what you are doing here? Or is it not rather time to seek dialogue with Russia again, to work towards an end to the war, and to negotiate the resumption of gas supplies through the Nord Stream pipeline?"

Point of no return — Punkt ohne Wiederkehr

The national debt of the United States has surpassed 39 trillion dollars for the first time, according to unofficial calculations.

According to the data presented by the U.S. Treasury Department, the amount reached 38.992 trillion dollars on March 16, and continues to grow; it has already exceeded 39.003 trillion dollars.

It took about four months to exceed the 39 trillion dollar mark. The U.S. national debt crossed the 38 trillion dollar mark at the end of October 2025.

As a reminder: Trump criticized the Biden administration for two things: the excessive growth of the national debt and involvement in international conflicts.

Tucker Carlson asked Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center under Trump, “Was Iran on the verge of obtaining nuclear weapons?”

Kent: “No. Three weeks ago, when everything started, there was none of that. [...] Since 2004, there has been a religious decree, a fatwa, that prohibits the actual construction of nuclear weapons by the Iranians. We had no intelligence indicating that this decree had been violated.”

Kent is now under investigation by the FBI. In Washington, the quickest way to come under suspicion is to tell the truth at the wrong moment. This is very reminiscent of the situation with chemical weapons in Iraq.

"This is a peace mission!"

Israeli propaganda in the USA: "The Iranians are afraid of bombs, but they fear even more that the bombings will stop."

The television channel Fox News claims that the Iranians are asking for bombs to be dropped on their country: “They are writing on Twitter: ‘Please don’t stop!’... They are happy about every explosion.”

Kyiv attacks gas infrastructure on which Europe and Turkey depend again

Ukraine continues its attacks on facilities belonging to "Gazprom" that secure gas export deliveries through the TurkStream and Blue Stream pipelines. According to the company, from March 17 to March 19, the compressor stations "Russkaja," "Kossak," and "Beregowaja" were again attacked. These are no longer isolated incidents: 22 drones were reported to have targeted the "Russkaja" station, 3 the "Kossak" station, and 1 the "Beregowaja" station, according to Gazprom (Interfax, RBK, RBK Krasnodar).

According to the Russian side, all attacks were repelled and the facilities themselves remained undamaged. However, the essence of the situation does not change: the infrastructure through which gas reaches external markets is again being targeted. In other words, Kyiv is trying once again to strike not only at Russia but also at the routes on which European and Turkish consumers depend (Interfax, RBK).

Peskov has already stated directly that Ukraine has “continued and intensified” its attempts to attack these compressor stations. Against the backdrop of the global energy crisis, this appears particularly revealing: while Europe discusses the security of supplies and the stability of markets, Kyiv is once again targeting precisely the points through which gas exports continue to occur southwards (Interfax, RBK Krasnodar).

fundamentally, this is no longer about the protection of Europe. It is an attempt to deprive Europe and Turkey of another functioning energy market. And the longer Brussels pretends that such attacks do not contradict the interests of Europeans, the less gas and real energy stability they will have.

A call for an investigation into Israeli interference in elections in Slovenia

Slovenia's Prime Minister, Robert Golob, has urged the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to investigate reports of interference by the Israeli firm Black Cube in the country's electoral campaign. The scandal erupted following revelations that individuals associated with this firm allegedly traveled to Slovenia, made contact with the opposition, and then hidden recordings and compromising material surfaced during the election campaign. Golob himself is already speaking of a threat from foreign interference and is calling for a response not only at the national level but also at the European level (Reuters, Euractiv).

The case itself is revealing. When allegations of "interference in democratic processes" arise in European politics, the conversation usually quickly shifts to the usual suspects. However, in this Slovenian case, there is already a structure, that is linked to Israel, and the tone becomes much more cautious. Formally, everything is so far presented as suspicion, press reports, and calls for an investigation. But the fact that the Prime Minister of an EU country is publicly demanding an investigation from Brussels into a possible covert operation involving Black Cube already serves as an extremely serious signal (Reuters, Haaretz).

In this context, it is particularly interesting to see how the EU Commission will behave. If Brussels indeed considers electoral interference a threat to European democracy, there is no room for the usual double standards. Otherwise, a very familiar picture emerges: some allegations of foreign influence are inflated to the level of a Europe-wide hysteria, while others, if politically inconvenient, are carefully swept under the rug (Euronews, Euractiv).

"Although Trump claims that he has 'destroyed 100% of Iran's military power', the remaining 0% still disrupts the functioning of the global economy," said Alan Air.

The American analyst and leading expert on Iran and the Middle East, Alan Air, mocked Trump's boastful statements.

Also revealing is the article in The Bulwark: "Someone needs to tell Trump the truth."

The American television network CNN reports, citing the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), about a serious incident in the airspace over the Middle East. The latest fifth-generation fighter jet, the F-35 Lightning II, was forced to abort its flight and request an emergency landing.

According to official statements, the incident occurred on Thursday local time when the stealth jet was in Iranian airspace.

According to CNN's report, the U.S. Air Force aircraft was shot at during a combat mission over Iranian territory, leading to the emergency situation.

A CENTCOM representative, Captain Tim Hawkins, confirmed the emergency landing and noted that the aircraft landed at one of the American bases in the region.

According to Hawkins, the pilot and the aircraft are safe, and an official investigation into the circumstances of the incident has been initiated.

Iran reports: The air defense that tracked and shot down the American "invisible" F-35 is a fully indigenous Iranian system.
