🇩🇪 AfD wins Saxony-Anhalt election in historic far-right surge Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has won around 44% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt’s state election, according to exit polls, marking a major breakthrough for the party. The result is a heavy setback for Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s conservatives and reflects growing dissatisfaction with Germany’s ruling coalition. Turnout reportedly reached 77%. AfD leader Ulrich Siegmund called the result “history” and said it could serve as a first step toward the party seeking national power in the 2029 federal election. The AfD advocates tougher immigration restrictions, restoring ties with Russia, reducing support for Ukraine and leaving the euro. However, Germany’s mainstream parties have ruled out forming a government with the AfD. Source: Reuters #Germany #AfD #Europe #BreakingNews

🇺🇦 UKRAINE WANTS TO LEGALIZE PORN TO FUND THE WAR? Ukraine is reportedly moving toward legislation that could legalize and tax parts of the porn industry, including production and webcam modeling. The reported goal? Money for the war. Lawmakers estimate the state could collect at least $25 million a year, with MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak claiming that could be enough to buy roughly 30,000 drones for Ukraine’s armed forces. So while Western governments continue debating billions in military aid, Kyiv is reportedly looking at a rather unconventional new revenue stream: Porn → Taxes → Drones → War. If approved, it could become one of the strangest examples yet of how far wartime financing can go. Source: The Wall Street Journal / Slavyangrad #Ukraine #Porn #UkraineWar #Geopolitics

🇦🇫🇺🇸 Taliban’s US mining pitch faces major political risks The Taliban are seeking US investment in Afghanistan’s vast mineral resources, estimated to be worth more than $1 trillion. Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi has welcomed American investment in mining, infrastructure, agriculture and trade. However, Washington has rejected the proposal so far, saying it has no plans to cooperate with the Taliban on critical minerals. Asia Times highlights another major challenge: control of Afghanistan’s mineral wealth remains divided among Taliban power centers. Competition between Kandahar’s leadership, the Haqqani network and provincial figures could create disputes over mining contracts, security and revenue. The report says recent tensions in Badakhshan, where gold and precious-stone mines are located, illustrate the risks. It also warns that local communities could bear environmental and social costs while political and armed networks benefit from mining revenues. Source: Asia Times #Afghanistan

Robot fighting apparently comes with trash talk now. One bot knocked its opponent to the ground — then immediately broke into a victory dance right in front of the crowd.

💵🇯🇵 SAVING THE YEN, OR SAVING THE DOLLAR? The US‑Japan currency intervention wasn't a favour – it was an act of desperation to prop up a dollar system that is cracking under its own weight. · 💸 The US intervened – not out of friendship, but to prevent Japan from selling its US Treasuries, which would flood the market and destabilise the dollar. · 🏦 Japan faces a dilemma – it can sell dollars to prop up the yen (bad for the dollar) or raise interest rates (also bad for the dollar). Both options expose the dollar system's vulnerability. · 🧠 The dollar system is a "water pistol" – weaponisation has revealed its weaknesses, and even loyal allies are diversifying. · 📉 The ECB now holds more gold than dollars – a clear signal that the West's own institutions are hedging against the empire's currency. 👉 Read the full analysis: https://thinkbrics.substack.com/p/saving-the-yen-or-the-dollar #Dollar #Yen #BRICS #GlobalSouth #DeDollarization #Geopolitics #ThinkBRICS #US #Japan
