Die gute Nachricht des Tages ist diese: #phoenix, mein tapferer kleiner Spartenkanal, wird auch zukünftig linear senden und das wie gewohnt mit dem Schwerpunkt #Politik- und #Parlamentsberichterstattung! Danke an alle, die sich für uns eingesetzt und engagiert haben. Bleibt uns kritisch gewogen!

Die aktuelle Entwicklung zeige, dass Energiepolitik auch Sicherheitspolitik sei. »Deutschland und Europa müssen jetzt entschlossen handeln, strukturelle Abhängigkeiten von fossilen Importen reduzieren und den Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien konsequent vorantreiben«, sagte Günther. »Wir müssen unsere Energieversorgung langfristig sicherer und unabhängiger machen.« Was sich da abzeichnet, das ist ein Deutungskampf – und ein Streit über geeignete Gegenmaßnahmen.

Wir wären sehr viel besser dran, wenn Daniel Günther (CDU) Bundeskanzler wäre.

Deutschland wäre besser dran, wenn Katherina Reiche nicht Wirtschaftsministerin wäre

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

So now we learn from Republicans that when you bomb a country for a week, sink their entire Navy, and kill their military and political leadership, that is not an act of war.

Maybe they can just go with Putin’s term - Special Military Operation.

is this Chief of Staff guy still alive or did he fall out of a window?

Pentagon mood: “intense and paranoid.”

Turns out lighting a regional powder keg has consequences. Air defenses draining. Retaliation spreading. Leaders worried it could spiral.

But hey — I was told this was “strength.” Looks more like geopolitical roulette with live ammo.

The Pentagon should be paranoid. They’ve taken illegal orders from Krasnov, that will benefit Russia and China, and threaten America’s military readiness. They know they are dealing with a criminal.

Russian invasion of Ukraine enabled Hamas's Oct. 7 massacre | The Jerusalem Post The path from Kyiv to Gaza is not a straight line, but a series of butterfly wings that destabilized a fragile global system until it reached its breaking point.

Opinion: October 7 did not begin in Gaza. It began in February 2022. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine shattered the illusion of a stable global order and convinced radical actors that the rules had collapsed. Hamas acted in that vacuum.

Slava Ukraini !! And to hell with the Russian Mafia State.

The Ukrainian team has been banned from wearing uniforms featuring a map of Ukraine at the 2026 Paralympics. The IPC claims the map is "political."

At the same time, the russian team includes former soldiers who took part in the illegal invasion.1/2

Russia is just an oil and gas station. Putin is struggling to pay for the continued aggression against Ukraine. So Krasnov attacks Iran which guarantees oil prices will rise giving a lifeline to Putin.

So I guess this is how Russians feel when Putin says that Ukraine started their Russian invasion 🤦‍♂️

People keep debating who Epstein was really working for without considering the possibility he was working for multiple agencies and governments.

Ukraine is hitting ever more distant Russian weapons plants thanks to expanded long-range capability Zelensky said. He called the Lviv bombing a Russian-organized attack via Telegram and noted Ukrainian services have already foiled dozens of similar plots.

Auf Plätzen in ganz Tschechien hat die Organisation Dárek pro Putina Shahed-Modelle aufgestellt. Mit warnenden Plakaten: Jihlava kann ein Ziel sein. Karlsbad kann ein Ziel sein. Melnik kann ein Ziel sein. Wenn die Ukraine fällt.

Putin is prosecuting in absentia a German carnival float builder, Jacques Tilly, for making parade floats making fun of him.

Anyone in MAGA want to speak up for this float builder's free speech rights being violated by Russia? Anyone?

Ich kann Politiker:innen, die weiter auf der rechtsradikalen Plattform X aktiv sind, aber ein Verbot von Social Media für Jugendliche fordern, beim besten Willen nicht Ernst nehmen. Zumal das Verbot eine feige Variante ist, weil man sich nicht traut, die Plattformen ordentlich zu regulieren.

Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration.
