🚨🇩🇪 GERMAN INDUSTRY IS COLLAPSING. Bosch is slashing 22,000 jobs in Germany and slowly abandoning its own homeland just to survive. Germany lost 486,000 jobs in just 3 months, mostly in industry. The “economic miracle” is dying in real time.

Il momento in cui l’esercito criminale Israeliano ha massacrato una squadra di soccorritori/ paramedici con un doppio attacco. Prima hanno ucciso un padre e sua figlia, poi hanno bombardato una squadra medica giunta sul posto con l’ambulanza nel sud del Libano. Mentre i leader Europei discutono se sospendere l’accordo di associazione con Israele, l’IDF continua a massacrare civili ovunque a Gaza, in Cisgiordania occupata e in Libano.

UKRAINIANS USED STARLINK TO STRIKE RUSSIAN SCHOOL IN LUGANSK Footage from the scene of the Starobelsk college strike, where Russian-side investigators walk through the drone wreckage: "Here, on the propeller, the serial number has survived, which apparently will help establish the model of this drone. Here are the remains of a Starlink satellite communication terminal, with its help, the drones approached the target. On the drone's wreckage, an inscription in Ukrainian."

🇪🇺🇨🇳 European carmakers spent decades transferring their technology to China in exchange for market access. Now they're using Chinese factories to build their own cars cheaper and ship them back home. VW says it can produce an EV in China for half what it costs anywhere else. Nissan is targeting 300,000 exports from China by 2030. A Chinese-made Chery became the best-selling new car in the UK in March. China can produce up to 50 million cars a year but only sold 24 million domestically last year, so factories are desperate for volume. Chinese car exports have gone from under 1 million in 2020 to over 7 million last year. Meanwhile, some European factories are running below 50% capacity. At some point "competing with China" became "manufacturing in China." Nobody's quite sure when that happened. Source: Financial Times

Putin didn't invade Ukraine because of NATO. He invaded because Ukrainians were proving democracy works. Historian and Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum puts it plainly: Putin looked at Ukraine's democratic movement and thought, "If they can do it in Ukraine, then people could do it in Russia. So I need to crush this." That's the real threat Ukraine posed. Not missiles. Not borders. A working democracy next door. Applebaum frames the war as a fault line between the democratic and autocratic worlds. Russia isn't just trying to take territory. It's trying to erase Ukraine as a nation, reduce it to a colony, and send a message to every country that the post-1945 rules of Europe no longer apply. Those rules were simple: no invasions, no wars, borders don't change by force. Russia understood exactly what it was breaking when it crossed into Ukraine.
