So, Trump has started negotiating with Putin over the security of Ukraine and thereby Europe WITHOUT Europe at the table. The West as we know it unravels in plain sight - ZERO impact on the debate in Germany. Instead, the two key election contenders Scholz and Merz debate

I asked Grok to analyze the last 1,000 posts from Elon Musk for truth and veracity. More than half of what Elon posts on X is false or misleading, while most of the "true" posts are simply updates about his companies.

An extraordinarily good animated report (link below 👇) from Reuters on why Germany’s economy is floundering. One data point that stuck with me: faxes are still used in 75% of German companies. 😱

Merz just said on German TV that the primary priority of his government will be to ensure that Europe can achieve full strategic independence from the United States in the defence against Russia. Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. After Trump he is a Gaullist. Extraordinary.

Merz: „Absolutely no illusions“ about Trump. Goal needs to be step by step independence from a US who „pretty much no longer cares about fate of 🇪🇺“. „Unclear whether we will still speak of NATO in present shape“ by time of June summit or we need to come up with 🇪🇺alternative.

Likely new German chancellor Friedrich Merz tonight: „Look at these recent interventions into 🇩🇪by a Mr Elon Musk. Interventions from DC no less dramatic, drastic & brazen than those from Moscow. We are massively under pressure from two sides“.

Germany's conservatives won the national election, but a fractured vote handed the far-right Alternative for Germany its best-ever result in second place and left conservative leader Friedrich Merz facing messy coalition talks. Live updates: reut.rs/4gRQc5z

Results from Germany's election yesterday. The clearest example of a phantom border. Not only can you see the clear East-West divide between the former FDR and GDR, but Berlin too also remains divided between East and West. Source: reuters.com/graphics/GERMA…

Merz starts by undermining the international court built on the legacy of Nuremberg Trials. Germany has called the ICC a "great civilisational achievement". What he's likely to achieve is that Putin will be allowed to travel around the world again. reuters.com/world/europe/e…

The resurgence of the Left Party in the German election, as well as a historic result for the far-right AfD, demonstrates growing support for the extremes as the country's economic outlook darkens and the arrival of millions of migrants polarizes society reut.rs/3QxVx7r

“In all, the US has spent just 0.19 per cent of GDP on military assistance for Ukraine. This is trivial, particularly in comparison with the cost of its previous wars. In return, it has gained the humiliation of what was once thought to be a powerful enemy and the vindication of

Verteidigung weitgehend von Schuldenbremse ausgenommen plus 500 Mrd Sondervermögen Infrastruktur plus mehr Schulden in Landeshaushalten! Es ist staatspolitisch geboten. Aber wahr ist auch: Das ist näher an dem, was Scholz und Habeck im Wahlkampf vorschlugen, als an dem, womit

Did anyone think this through? Some two-thirds of European defense procurement is spent on American weapons. If the U.S. indeed switched off the targeting of HIMARS in Ukraine — a country fighting a war that not just Kyiv, but most of Europe, consider existential — buying any

Merz just held the annual summer news conference of the German chancellor - 1.5 hours and not a single question on Ukraine, Russia, AfD or China ... HALF an hour on the constitutional court row.
