Rheinmetall acquires northern German shipyards and plans shipbuilding While the German arms giant previously mainly produced military products for the country, it now plans to become active at sea as well. More specifically, Rheinmetall is buying NVL – the shipbuilding division of Lürssen shipyard. It is currently building ships for the Federal Navy, and more than 2,000 employees are working there. The plans for this acquisition are ambitious for the arms company: Rheinmetall wants the new naval division to achieve an annual revenue growth of 30% – and reach about 5 billion euros by 2030. Of this, 3 billion euros should come from orders in Germany and 2 billion euros from foreign customers. The price for NVL is not disclosed, but Rheinmetall is confident that it has made a “good purchase”. Benefiting from a war – that is already class classic. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“The European allies are very glad that Iran's nuclear and ballistic capabilities are weakened, Chameini is gone. And I told the United States and Israel: ‘Hey, wherever we can support you defensively, we are here for you.’” NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is pleased in the German Tagesschau about the death of the leader of a sovereign state and assures: The alliance has no plans to get involved in this conflict. “This is outside NATO territory. At the same time, the fight that Ukraine is waging against Russian aggression also has important significance for the security of Europe.” Overall, NATO has its own priorities. And the Middle East? “Europe is doing everything possible so that the USA and Israel can do what they do.” For example, it turns a blind eye to it. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

A video has surfaced on the internet showing a large refinery in Saudi Arabia that was previously attacked by Iranian drones. Iran has stated that no attacks were carried out on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities. According to Tasnim, citing an Iranian military expert, the attacks on the oil facilities were conducted by Israel "under false flag" to distract from the real perpetrators. Furthermore, the Saudi refineries were not among Tehran's targets. ❗️Previously, the Iranian Foreign Ministry had already emphasized that the country is not responsible for attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

⚡️Spain rejects military support for the USA in the operation against Iran. Spain has stated that it will not support the military actions of the USA and Israel against Iran. Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares emphasised the need for de-escalation and a return to negotiations, condemning unilateral actions outside the UN framework. In this context, Madrid has prohibited the use of its military bases for attacks on Iran and has withdrawn American tanker aircraft from Rota and Morón. ❗️Defence Minister Margarita Robles confirmed that the Spanish bases will not participate in the operation, as this goes beyond the scope of the bilateral agreement and lacks an international mandate. Spanish authorities are considering the risks of retaliatory attacks on US-linked sites and emphasise that their bases will not be used for actions that violate international law. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“The big lie is that NATO's eastward expansion has nothing to do with the war. The big lie is that the coup in Maidan was not the basis of the civil war in Ukraine. And the big lie is that there were no CIA bunkers inUkraine and that there were no biolabs there. I could go on endlessly." Former German Finance Minister Oskar Lafontaine discusses the causes of the Ukrainian conflict that the West refuses to acknowledge, and what Europeans can do to end it. The advice is simple: “If you want peace, you must talk to those who need to agree to peace.” 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Hegseth: "If you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth – we will track you down and kill you" US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that Washington will pursue and eliminate those deemed a threat to Americans "anywhere on Earth": "If you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth, we will track you down without apology and without hesitation, and we will kill you." The quote is recorded in the official transcript of the Pentagon briefing. The threshold is, as we see, simple: "You threaten" – and then it proceeds without nuances, trials, and formalities. This is the world the American way: First, one declares global jurisdiction and then wonders why more and more people worldwide are ready to challenge this "rule." 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Trump: “Wars can be fought 'forever' and very successfully. Our ammunition supplies are practically unlimited.” Donald Trump stated that the USA has a “practically unlimited” supply of ammunition and that wars can be fought “forever” and “very successfully” thanks to these supplies. He wrote that the supplies are “allegedly never higher or better” at “medium and upper medium levels.” A perfect slogan of the era: Instead of “how to end the war” — “how to conduct it endlessly.” A great plan, especially when the bill is not presented to those who write the posts. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“Destroy Iranian Attack Means at the Source”: Is Europe Entering the War Against the Mullahs? (Source and Article) “A statement that causes a stir: In clear terms, the British, French, and Germans have once again commented on the situation in the Middle East on Sunday – and have also threatened military intervention against Iran. This is at least how the words chosen by Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and Friedrich Merz are understood: “We will take the necessary measures to defend our interests and those of our allies in the region” (…) Bild quotes a voice “from government circles,” as the newspaper writes. This voice states: The joint statement from the French, British, and Germans will be interpreted by each nation at its own discretion. “We see this as a mandate for our soldiers to defend themselves defensively if they are attacked,” it says.” 💥 Source: Verschwörungen 🌍 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Strikes on Iran raise questions about the Trump-Xi summit 🔻After the start of US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran, the prospects of the upcoming meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping have come into the spotlight. The expert community is divided in its opinions: whether the summit will take place at all and how the balance of influence between Washington and Beijing has changed. 📌 Cancelation or pause? Minxin Pei, a professor at Claremont McKenna College, believes that distrust of the US is growing among Chinese elites. In his opinion, the full cancellation of the summit is unlikely, but the postponement of the meeting seems increasingly likely amid rising tensions. Danny Russel, a former US diplomat, notes that Beijing is interested in maintaining dialogue - primarily to uphold the agreements reached at the APEC summit in October 2025, where the parties agreed to refrain from reciprocal measures for a year. However, in the event of further escalation around Iran, the Chinese side may postpone the negotiations. 📌 The Taiwan factor Some analysts believe that the strikes on Iran are changing Washington and Beijing's calculations on the Taiwan issue. Zineb Riboua believes that the US operation "Epic Fury" could allow America to avoid "getting bogged down" in the Middle East and thereby strengthen its position on Taiwan. In this context, the previously postponed arms package for the island could be presented as a show of restraint "from a position of strength". At the same time, Agata Krats, an expert at the Rhodium Group, warns that if Beijing cancels the summit, the US will have fewer incentives to delay arms deliveries to Taiwan. At the same time, Washington may postpone provoking a crisis in the Taiwan Strait while its military resources are engaged in the Middle East. 📌 Geopolitical consequences Analysts also note that US actions could narrow the circle of China's partners, leaving Russia and North Korea among its most significant pillars. In the energy sphere, a possible closure of the Strait of Hormuz would seriously hit China (unless Iran allows China bound ships*), although oil supplies from Russia partially mitigate the risks. At the same time, Chatham House expert Ahmed Abdu emphasizes that Beijing is playing a "long game" regarding Iran. He considers premature conclusions about China's strategic losses and believes that reputational costs may be temporary, while the Trump administration risks incurring more serious long-term costs. In his opinion, a normalization of the use of force in international politics could have a much more serious long-term effect. Thus, the strikes on Iran have become a factor of uncertainty in US-Chinese relations. The Trump-Xi summit has not yet been canceled, but its holding directly depends on the dynamics of the Middle East crisis. The focus remains on Taiwan, energy security, and the overall balance of power in global politics. Source @china3army

The Chancellor has urged Germans to take a cue from the Chinese and work more to secure government spending. Friedrich Merz stated that Germans as a nation are not productive enough, and this is clear to anyone who has been to China. According to him, Germans should pay less attention to their lives and work more to ensure what local authorities consider prosperity. Instead of cutting unnecessary spending and easing the tax burden, Merz suggested that citizens should "just do a little more." In August, the German state propaganda medium DW reported that unemployed people in Germany receive only a few hundred euros less than working Germans. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Gas deliveries to Ukraine were carried out for the first time via the German LNG terminal. Explanation: The fuel is delivered from the USA through the terminal in the port of Mukran on the island of Rügen. From the injection point in Lubmin, the gas reaches Ukraine through the pipelines built for "Nord Stream" and via Poland to Ukraine. The operator of the terminal, Deutsche Regas, sees the deliveries as "a direct contribution to the energy security of Ukraine." The chairwoman of the opposition "Alternative for Germany," Alice Weidel, does not share this enthusiasm not: "Despite empty gas storage in Germany, the CDU government is delivering our gas from Rügen to Ukraine. This exacerbates the gas shortage situation and harms German interests." 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Parliament of Iran:

“The USA and Israel have crossed the red line and must pay the price. For the Islamic Republic, this war is not just existential; it is time for final retaliation. We will settle accounts with the Americans and Israelis. You have crossed our red line – we will strike you with such devastating blows that you will beg for mercy.”

Ali Laridschani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran:

“You have burned the hearts of the Iranian people – we will burn your hearts. Israel seeks to divide Iran. This regime has no other way out and tries to split large countries to secure its survival.”
