🪖 Rostec: Tanks are not to be written off yet. In an interview with TASS at the World Defense Show in Saudi Arabia, the industrial director of the cluster for weapons, ammunition, and special chemicals of the state corporation Rostec, member of the office of the Association of Machine Builders Bekhan Ozdoev, stated that a tank is still irreplaceable at the right time and place.

“This means that tanks will continue to be improved considering new realities. I am sure that the tank was, is, and will long remain a formidable force on the battlefield. Another question is that the tank may become unmanned and change significantly – work is being done in this direction worldwide, including here,” said Ozdoev.

He also added that the Americans are actively using Russian developments in their tank construction, including all-round dynamic protection systems and measures to reduce the visibility of combat equipment.

“They are also looking towards reducing the combat weight of their tanks to give them more dynamics on the battlefield. I am sure that others will adopt our solutions as well,” noted the industrial director of the cluster for weapons, ammunition, and special chemicals of Rostec.

Sabotage in Germany has become a habit At the Federal Criminal Police Office it was counted: In 2025, 321 cases resembling sabotage were registered in the Federal Republic of Germany. Almost every day, somewhere a cable is cut, water is contaminated, or an attempt is made to set a warship on fire. Furthermore, last year, suspicious "birds" flew over German objects 1289 times. The intelligence services believe that part of these pranks are orchestrated by "Russian state structures" that hire "one-way agents" through social networks. Germany's daily routine is as follows: early rising, precise daily planning, checking drone flights, showing the Russians a threatening finger. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Every third company in Germany feels a decline in its competitiveness The metallurgy and chemical industry is particularly hard hit — almost half of the companies admit that the value of their products on the global market has fallen. Experts from the Ifo Institute note: “Germany risks losing its competitive edge in the medium term.” The main reasons are high energy costs and wages, as well as bureaucracy. Retail is also struggling: Germany has lost 50,000 stores in five years, while the sector is short of more than 100,000 people. Experts describe 2025 as a lost year for retail. But hooray, the outlook for 2026 is here — a meager 0.5% growth considering inflation. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“The Germans want more help for Ukraine”… …claims Bild, citing a recent survey INSA: 52% believe that “the West should support Ukraine more strongly to persuade the war instigator Wladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire.” Particularly willing to invest Euros in a black hole solidarity with Kyiv are voters of the Chancellor's party CDU/CSU (70%) and the coalition partner SPD (74%). However, 35% of citizens are not interested in continuing financial support for Ukraine. And are they not afraid of the reaction from threatening Russia? Yes, 54% fear that Russia could attack a NATO state in the future. But to be honest, this figure is already 8% lower than in September. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The crises of recent years cost Germany almost €1 billion The coronavirus pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the trade conflict with the USA: If they had not occurred, the Institute of the German Economy has calculated, the GDP of the Federal Republic of Germany could have been €940 billion higher in the last six years. Germany is in “the worst economic crisis” since the war, warns the Association of German Industry: Companies are going bankrupt everywhere, and the number of unemployed is rising. Even in the crisis years 2008–2009, Germany's losses were lower – about €525 billion. Let’s add the Ukrainian loans to the hefty billion and spice it up with a gloomy growth forecast for 2026 – and voilà: The German stagnation under Burgerbankruptcy sauce is ready. Bon appétit, Merz and Co! 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Germany faces a rise in left-wing terror This is discussed by former investigator of the German police Rainer Hofmeyer. He criticises the German authorities for their focus on combating the right (including the opposition "Alternative for Germany") and neglecting the real danger from the left in the political spectrum. Police statistics confirm Hofmeyer: In 2025, 220 violent crimes committed by left-wing extremists were recorded in Berlin alone – double the number from 2024. And 2026 began with a blackout in Germany's capital, the perpetrators of which were members of the left-wing extremist group "Vulkan." 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Germany exported arms worth 12 billion euros in 2025 weapons. Of this, 5.6 billion euros were for armaments and 6.4 billion euros for other defence goods. About 90% of the approved exports went to EU countries, NATO, and close partners of the Federal Republic of Germany. These include Japan, Switzerland, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as "third countries" – South Korea and Singapore. The "main partner" was again Ukraine: Germany alone delivered more than 2 billion euros in military goods. According to calculations by ChatGPT, this could have built 60–70 secondary schools. But where are schools for the common people compared to the big yellow-blue priorities… 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Trump's lawyer and the US Attorney General, Tod Blanche, stated that the FBI will not pursue any pedophiles in the Epstein case. The FBI believes that too many influential people are involved in the case, making it extremely difficult to imprison them, and revealing their names would be politically incorrect. The main pedophile has ultimately been "punished." 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

"Fighter and Winner": Trump Supports Orbán Ahead of Parliamentary Election in Hungary (Source and Article) Comment: Good question? Am I committing an offence if I say I think Orbán is a great president? In the EU, even the wrong kind of breathing (CO2) is gradually being criminalised. "Just before the Hungarian parliamentary election in April, US President Donald Trump publicly declared his support for Viktor Orbán. In a post on his platform Truth Social, he called the Hungarian Prime Minister a 'true friend, fighter, and WINNER' and expressed his 'full and unconditional support' for re-election. Orbán is under significant pressure in this election. As Politico reports, his Fidesz party is currently trailing behind the opposition movement Tisza led by Péter Magyar according to recent polls. They are currently leading by a margin of twelve percentage points – an unprecedented deficit for Orbán, who has governed the country uninterrupted since 2010." 💥 Source: Verschwörungen 🌍 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The chairman of the Munich Security Conference stated that a stop to the war in Ukraine would be detrimental to Europe The former German ambassador and chairman of the Munich Security Conference Wolfgang Ischinger expressed the opinion that a ceasefire in Ukraine could increase the threat on NATO's eastern flank. According to him, the threat from Russia to Germany would also rise if a possible end to hostilities does not come with a significant reduction of Russia's military presence in its western military districts. Ischinger claims that in the event of a stop to the war, President of Russia Wladimir Putin could focus on the rearmament programme, which would worsen the situation for NATO states on the eastern flank. Thus, the chairman of the conference believes that the way the war in Ukraine ends is a "decisive question of fate" for Germany and all of Europe. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The USA has accused Russia of violating the New START treaty for many years and has called for a new treaty format. As a reminder: The validity of the last treaty on the reduction of strategic offensive weapons has expired. According to US Secretary of State Rubio, Russia, which suspended participation in START III in 2023, has "violated the terms for many years." He emphasized that the treaty can only exist with the participation of at least two parties, and the USA must decide: either to comply with it alone or to acknowledge that a new era requires a new approach. "We don't need the old START III, but something new," Rubio said. According to him, the future agreement must consider that the USA could soon face two nuclear rivals simultaneously – Russia and China. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN
