Very true. Of course the West, ie America and it's vassal states, have a vested interest in weakening Russia and dragging out the war as long as possible, regardless of whether the Ukraine can win or not. If Russia does use a nuclear device, it will again be because of actions by the West forcing Russia to go down this route.

Lol, no it's not. Sam Evans is an electric car fanboy. He's a total nobody, has never worked in the auto-industry and his sole claim to fame is being a Youtuber. More anti hydrogen car drivel which is divorced from reality. What EV fan boys like Sam Evans fail to realise is that it's not just Toyota, but BMW, Hyundai, Kawasaki, Yamaha and others who are spending billions on the hydrogen engine. Their factories are already being subsidised by governments like the UK. One of the worst videos I have ever seen. On the one hand he claims new hydrogen ICE motor technology is revolutionary and incredibly efficient and on the other that the ICE is finished. Either hydrogen ICEs will come or the ICE is finished, it can't be both Sam Evans you pitiful fool.

Germany will improve again. Good decisions are also being made, like building semi-conductor factories. It wasn't just energy where Germany depended on one source, also in many other areas of the economy, semi-conductors, like the rest of the world. But the good side of this is that Germans have realised they have to be more self reliant. They will build their own semi-conductor factories. What worries me is the lack of ability of the German ruling class, which is now permeated with people like Annalena Baerbock. These are people who lack the most basic achievements in economic or other fields, they have never demonstrated leadership, wisdom or ability. And their recent record underscores their lack of guile. Another knew jerk reaction if you recall was the total boycott of nuclear energy. A source which China is now heavily investing in and France was always smart enough to foster. There are many smart people in German inudstry, but in politics very , very mediocre people are in charge, and that's being charitable. They are driven by ideology and squander countles hours and efforts, not to mention tens of millions of Euro, on holocaust debates, memorials, immigration debates, equality and diversity nonsense. If you were to look at the time the German parliament squanders on nonsense it is most likely the majority. Like diverting motorways to save frogs. You can't make it up.

Good point, Germany is indeed the only country to contract in Q2. The main reason for this is that German politicians have steered Germany worse than the other countries. Germany was uniquely dependent on Russian oil, but the knee jerk reaction by leftist politicians in Germany after the Ukraine invasion was to boycott their own main energy source. This not only cost enormous sums, as Germany had to build brandnew infrastructure to store different types of fuel, but it also caused German industry to ring the alarm bell due to unpredictable energy costs and general energy insecurity. This in turn scared off investors who don't want to invest in a place where energy security is not given or energy prices are through the roof, as they were in Germany thanks to decisions by German politicians. All this after they closed German needlessly with lockdowns which cost the German economy, many many milions. To fund the gigantic Nordstream project, only in order to cancel it at the last minute, beggars belief in terms of squandering tax payer money. Then of course there is the total insanity of countless billions handed over to Ukraine which cannot go into funding subsidies for foreign investments, infrastructure or other measure that benefit the economy. It was a boost for Rheinmetall, but a loss for other sectors of the economy. Despite Scholz big words, of course he's finally realised he needs to cut the free handouts to Ukraine., but he'll still pour a few billion in. Crazy. Germany was already suffering from Chinese competition, German car makers make the best electric vehicle but in the mass market they are unable to compete with China. Same with solar and many other industries. I was just in Germany a few weeks ago, the high street is dying because Germans have no money to shop. All the quality shops disappeared and are replaced with nail shops, doner joints and the like, much like in Britain the fried chicken shops are taking over. It's not quite as bad as Harlow, but Germany too is going that way.

Errr, no. Jack Smith is not filing an "appeal". He filed a brand new indictment.

Yes, especially when she annnounced that the US had a deep and lasting alliance with the republic of North Korea. We all understood she's an incompetent embarassment.

I loved Musk's reply to Gavin Newsom, who professed outrage Musk would post a parody of Harris. Newson threated to pass a law immediately to make use of a voice in a parody illegal. Musk replied that he checked with the world reknown authority Professor Suggon Deeznutz and was told that parody is still legal in America. It's in that video above, absolutely hilarious.

Jack Smith was appointed by a Democrat appointed AG, Merrick Garland. Anyone who thinks Jack Smith's legal actions are not politically motivated doesn't know what time it is. It does indeed resemble Soviet style appropriation of the judicial system. It's absolutely sickening. Democrats have no scruples and will stop at nothing.

Bingo! It's a totally made up story. The Kronen Zeitung is like the Daily Star or the National Inquirer. They just make stuff up.

No kidding? I thought there was a Democratic People's Republic of Korea?

Do you really think a woman who declared before running cameras that the United States has a strong and enduring alliance with the Republic of North Korea should be president?

Kamala's Greatest hits of Stupidity proves she can't and is amusing to boot.

How can you not believe your own family member on such a topic? Bizarre.

Bianca Censori begs to differ! And she's almost an architect!

Kanye loves him though. You don't have any good male black geniuses on your team.

What would Philippines do with the Spratly islands, realistically? It's much better for humanity if China develops this place. Why would anyone defend Philippines' claim to these islands? What can we gain by this? Nothing.

A perfectly rational negotiating position completely vindicated by China's means. Since 2014 they have been outbuilding Vietnam and Philippins in that area and it's not as if Philippines and Vietnam were not building artificial islands and militarising the place, you do realise?

I do find the adoration of the US in the Phililppines quite distasteful, but I suppose the Philippines is a very young nation that has not even implemented a common language properly yet. When it grows up the Phillippines may see the US differently.

If the US did do that in the Spratly islands chain it would be no different to Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan, PRC doing it. I just don't think China has been unduly aggressive in that region. There have been minor handbags, but mostly due to China giving the FIlipinos fishing rights. And yes, that standoff in 2012. But in essence all the neighbours in that region have been flocking to that area to stake claims that are flimsy at best. All for economic exploitation. What the Philiippines is doing of late, sending boats with reporters etc, smacks of outright provocation. It's like they want an incident to happen, so they can involve the States, which has clearly stated it doesn't really want to be involved when push comes to shove.

That's a pretty ludicrous statement, in fact it after Vietnam it was the Philippines that has been most active in "claiming" the Spratly islands and building artificial islands there. The sole purpose was to lay claim to the region for economic exploitation. It was only from 2014 that China outpaced those two countries in building artificial islands. All China did was the same as Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei. No aggression at all. In about 2012 China started to militarise the islands, but Vietnam did the same. As for the Filipino view of the US, it is like that of an adoring teenage fifteen year old girl, however, already the Philippines should have unerstood it can never rely on the USA. The 2012 Scarborough Shoal standoff between China and the Philippines led to a situation where access to the atoll was restricted by the People's Republic of China. The expected intervention of the United States to protect its ally through an existing mutual defence treaty did not commence after the United States indirectly stated that it does not recognise any nation's sovereignty over Scarborough Shoal, leading to strained ties between the Philippines and the United States. The current fisherman disputes are a direct result of China being accomodating to the Phippines. In late 2016, following the visit of Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte to seek warmer ties with China, the PRC gave "fishing rights" to Filipino vessels to access the atoll for fishing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarborough_Shoal There is no aggression by China here. China has just been doing what all the others were doing. Then gave fishing rights to the Filipinos.

Most of the EU, including Germany still buy Russian gas. It just doesn't get there via pipelines. Belgium and Netherlands buy Liquified Natural Gas. In 2023 Russian LNG gas imports rose by 41%. Belgium and France then convert that into gas and send it over pipelines to Germany. About 26% of German gas comes from Belgian and Dutch pipelines. About 11 percent of those are Russian gas.

No, the father is not the source of the interview where Kamala admits she smoked weed. "Harris, D-Calif., told the nationally syndicated radio show "The Breakfast Club" earlier this month that she supports marijuana legalization at the federal level, and acknowledged that she's smoked pot in the past... The senator re-emphasized her use when asked by the hosts about rumors that she opposes marijuana legalization. “That’s not true. Look, I joke about it, I have joked about it. Half my family is from Jamaica, are you kidding me?” Harris said, laughing. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kamala-harris-dad-says-parents-are-turning-in-their-grave-over-her-comments-on-weed-and-being-jamaican The source of the interview is the radio show "The Breakfast Club". This is on record and was covered by all national media from the Washington Post to the New York Times.
