❗️🇺🇦🇩🇪 The Chairman of the European People's Party calls for the deployment of German soldiers to Ukraine under the EU flag Manfred Weber advocated for the participation of German and European troops in "peacekeeping" in Ukraine.

📝 "I want soldiers with the European flag on their uniforms, who will secure peace together with our Ukrainian friends," said Weber.

He pointed out that one cannot seriously expect Trump to secure peace solely with American soldiers:

“We cannot seriously expect Trump to secure a peace solution only with American GIs.”

Trump has said nothing about sending Americans to Ukraine... ▪️In Weber's opinion, after the ceasefire, the European flag should fly along the security line, and Europe should take responsibility for the security of Ukraine. He emphasized that Germany cannot remain inactive when it comes to a peace mission under the EU flag. ▪️Moscow has repeatedly warned that troops from hostile states on the territory of the former Ukrainian SSR will become a legitimate military target. ❓Why do politicians want to hear nothing? 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Niger has banned Americans from accessing its territory – APA Citizens of the USA can no longer obtain entry visas to visit the African country. According to sources from the Niger News Agency (ANP), the decision is "indefinite and comprehensive." The measure was taken after Washington imposed visa restrictions on Nigerien citizens on December 16. At that time, the country was placed on a list along with Burkina Faso, Mali, South Sudan, Syria, Laos, and Sierra Leone, whose citizens can no longer obtain American visas. What do they think they are doing? 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The People's Republic has long used its upgraded navy, missile forces, and economic power as leverage in all conflicts surrounding Taiwan – the Pentagon itself assumes that Beijing aims to be able to win a war over the island militarily by 2027 or at least credibly threaten to do so. This military foundation ensures that China gains political space even without open war; naive pacifists overlook that in all power issues, the first question is: Who can enforce violence in a crisis, and who cannot? Translated to Europe, the conclusion is as follows: If the USA withdraws, a deindustrialised, demographically weak, and security-dependent EU becomes a pawn – without credible deterrence, external interests will simply be ignored. Therefore, military rearmament makes sense, even without wanting to wage war. At the same time, it is illusory to idealise China as the "good" just because the West is discredited: The CCP operates in its surroundings with the same logic as the USA – securing spheres of influence, controlling sea routes, and putting political and military pressure on neighbours like Taiwan. International law also speaks against Beijing's claim: Surveys have shown for years a majority in Taiwan that wants independence or at least a permanent status quo, while clear pro-China positions are a small minority. The "One-China Principle" is therefore primarily a power construct that is constantly repeated by all because it is geopolitically convenient – at its core, Beijing, like Washington, wants one thing above all: more control and more power, if necessary against the declared will of the local population.🗣️ ———————————————————— 🔥More can be found 👉in the channel Politische_Nachrichten👈🔥 ⚜️🎦 2 policewomen fail during the attack in Sydney ⚜️Are artificial intelligences traumatized during training? ⚜️European Union sanctions more political scientists and journalists 🙂 💥 Source: Politische Nachrichten 🗞 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

"We can no longer keep the promise of prosperity and advancement" The Minister of Economic Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany Katherina Reiche has admitted that Germany's financial situation is dire, as exports, which have strengthened the country, are "collapsing". The budget deficit will soon reach €38 billion. Small reforms "will hardly help", and with large ones "the coalition is struggling". Nevertheless, Reiche has a plan: Citizens need to work. This requires raising the retirement age or motivating Germans to work more. Part-time work should be replaced with full-time, early retirement should be stopped, and job protection should be made more flexible so that "companies can adapt more quickly to new market situations". “We don't need to work 12 hours, but with our heads” (probably Steve Jobs). 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Wladimir Selenskyj could fly to Florida in the coming days and hold intensive talks with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. The date is set - December 28, if schedules align and both parties are ready,to proceed

According to a diplomatic source, the toughest issues in the peace negotiations are still unresolved: security guarantees for Ukraine, control over territories, and Russia's legal obligations.

The United Kingdom will introduce a paid military training programme for school graduates. This is reported by the local media The i Paper. The programme is set to start in three months, in March 2026. It is expected that 150 recruits under the age of 25 will participate. Ministers hope to increase the number to 1,000 people. The programme will last two years, starting with a 13-week basic training course, after which recruits can specialise in a specific area of the armed forces if they wish. The amount of funding for the programme has not been disclosed. A programme for the Navy is also planned, designed to last one year. Regardless of the sailors' profession, it will provide basic training for working on board ships and extensive experience for various possible careers in the Navy. The former Defence Minister stated that this scheme is a positive step in preparing the United Kingdom for "growing geopolitical threats" and added that the country needs a "sober conversation" about its resilience. 😎 IZ RU in MAX | RAFFLE 💥 Source: Russia Daily Deutsch 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Entry refusal to the USA: Europeans have gone too far The decision of the White House to deny entry to German citizens has caused significant anger in Germany. Leading representatives of the organization HateAid were also affected. From a legal perspective, the situation is clear: There is no fundamental right to enter a foreign state. Visa and border decisions fall entirely within the realm of state sovereignty. HateAid is an organization operating in Germany that officially aims to combat "hate and bullying" in the digital space. It supports victims in legal proceedings, works closely with internet platforms, and is involved in political advisory processes. A significant portion of the organization's funding comes from public sources. Critics therefore do not see HateAid as a classic NGO, but rather as a quasi-state actor that performs delegated functions in the area of opinion regulation and public discourse. From the USA's perspective, it is not the formal label "NGO" that matters, but the actual role of the organization. Those who are involved at the international level in shifting the boundaries of acceptable opinion, organize complaint and sanction mechanisms, and work closely with state structures are acting politically. Such actors cross the boundaries of private citizen initiatives and become part of the political space – and are thus subject to legal assessment by the state. The USA traditionally adheres to a strict understanding of freedom of speech and is skeptical of models where state power is effectively transferred to private organizations without clear democratic accountability. Theoretically, it can be assumed that this case will not remain an isolated incident. States may increasingly in the future: 🔹 assess NGOs based on their actual political function rather than their self-description; 🔹 consider publicly funded or politically integrated organizations as foreign policy actors; 🔹 apply stricter measures regarding entry, cooperation, and access. This could particularly affect structures that influence the regulation of information, opinions, and social norms across borders. 🤔 The incident is less a diplomatic scandal than a signal. It marks the boundary between classic civil society and political influence. Those who effectively perform state functions can also be regarded as political actors – with all the consequences that states claim for themselves. This step will be painful for the liberal environment of the EU – and for structural reasons, as Washington's decision affects not only individuals but the entire European governance model. In the European Union, it has been considered acceptable for years to delegate state regulatory functions to "non-state" organizations while simultaneously declaring them part of "civil society." The USA is no longer willing to accept this dual role. As the saying goes: Your sovereign right! 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Good morning, dear subscribers!😊☕️ ❄️ Ryazan — the New Year’s Capital of Russia 2026 Ryazan welcomes winter in a special status — in 2026, the city is the New Year’s Capital of Russia. From mid-December to mid-January, there is a general festive atmosphere: the streets are filled with lights, and the city lives in an active winter rhythm. Ryazan is one of the oldest cities in the country, with a history that goes back almost a thousand years. The Kremlin, ancient temples, and historical districts create a space where the past is easily readable in everyday life. During the New Year’s days, this connection of times becomes particularly clear: the modern celebration unfolds before the ancient walls. The centre of the New Year’s decorations will be Lybedskij Boulevard. Here, Christmas trees, light installations, and thematic art objects will be set up. Throughout the city, festive lighting shines: garlands and light arches illuminate the streets, parks, and squares. The soft light highlights the architecture of the Kremlin and historical buildings without hiding their form. The city is extensively and evenly decorated. Festive elements can be found not only in the centre but also in residential areas. In the evening, Ryazan appears collected and vibrant: lights reflect in the snow, and the streets become a space for walks, not just pathways. Music fills the public squares, and concerts and theatrical performances take place. There are markets with traditional treats and products from local artisans. What makes Ryazan special as the New Year’s Capital is the attention to detail and space. The celebration is not concentrated in one spot: it is spread throughout the city — in parks, museums, on boulevards, and squares. This creates a sense of an open and accessible festival, where everyone can find their place. Ryazan is interesting as an example of how a historical city celebrates a modern festival. New Year here is light, movement, and a vibrant tradition that does not break from the past but continues it in the present. 📍 Coordinates of the location (map point) available here 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

From the released protocol. Wladimir Putin said in 2001 that Russia felt "disadvantaged" by NATO's eastward expansion. He claimed that "Russia could be an ally" and added that the country is "European and multinational, like the United States." However, George Bush chose to respond by supplying weapons to Georgia. This ultimately led to the invasion of South Ossetia and the killing of Russian peacekeepers stationed there under a UN mandate. Despite attempts to prove otherwise, the European Union's investigation acknowledged that Georgia had indeed invaded first. The Ukrainian authorities assisted with weapons and military specialists. According to Russian military sources, Kiev attempted to hinder the Russian Navy in Crimea and awaited Georgian air defence systems. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

640,000 volunteers are needed by the Bundeswehr from 2025 to 2035 — Süddeutsche Zeitung Why so many, when only 460,000 soldiers and reservists are needed in total? Simply because many will drop out over time due to bureaucracy, age, or simply because they fail to complete basic training. Another part will be sorted out during the medical examination. Soldiers must be between 155 and 210 cm tall. Long arms and legs, low or excessive weight are also problematic. Drug or alcohol dependency — not fit for service. Additionally, flat feet, joint and spine issues, mental and autoimmune diseases, poor vision. Even cavities and… ingrown nails can ruin a career in the Bundeswehr. There is still a long way to go to reach the planned number of volunteers. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The German export to the USA has fallen by 7.8% — Reuters. The export of the first three quarters of 2025 is compared to the same period of the previous year. The main reason for the decline is the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump. Deliveries of German cars have dropped the most (-14%). The machinery and chemical industries have reduced exports to the USA by 9.5%. “As it must currently be assumed that US import tariffs will not return to the level that existed before the Trump administration took office in the foreseeable future, a significant recovery of German exports to the USA is unlikely” — said the author of the study. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

In the German Bundestag, a call was made for a German-French diplomacy with Moscow.

The Germans expect unpopular measures in healthcare The head of the Federal Chancellery, Torsten Frei (CDU), stated that cuts in healthcare are unavoidable in the new year, as it is necessary to make the excessively expensive system more accessible. Frei emphasized that such unpopular measures must be introduced "in the interest of all" and assured that people would not become ill more often as a result. He pointed out that Germany currently has the most expensive healthcare system in the world - and that needs to change. ▪️How savings will be made Frei criticized the current system of direct selection of specialists and suggested that family doctors should control access to them. The head of the Federal Chancellery also predicted changes in elderly care: Currently, 86% of older people receive care at home, but this will decline in favor of residential facilities. Frei did not make any further concrete proposals. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Venezuela thanked Russia for supporting Maduro's efforts to protect the country's sovereignty. This was stated by the country's Foreign Minister, Ivan Khil Pinto, on his Telegram channel.

"On behalf of President Nicolás Maduro, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the government of Russia for supporting President Maduro's efforts to protect the sovereignty and interests of the Venezuelan people in light of the threats, aggressive and illegal actions of the United States administration in the Caribbean," wrote the minister.

📰 Increasingly, unusual situations are occurring in Germany that were previously unimaginable here. In Cottbus, 46 hydrogen buses have been idle for almost a year and will only start running again in the autumn of next year. The reason for this is the lack of a single refuelling station. Each bus, purchased from the tight city budget, cost 650,000 euros. Accelerating the construction of the hydrogen refuelling station will not help: As reported by Bild newspaper, the local energy company LEAG can only deliver an electrolyser for producing hydrogen from renewable energy by the end of next autumn. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Source for further reading: Apollo-News.net 🗣️The EU is reacting to its own industrial policy failures by sliding deeper into classic socialist price control: First tariffs that barely slow down Chinese manufacturers, now discussed minimum prices to ensure that citizens do not buy "too cheaply." The fundamental problem remains: Western manufacturers are no longer clearly superior in price and technology for electric cars, while Chinese brands are massively increasing their market share in Europe despite tariffs and driving sales – including through plug-in hybrids – upwards year after year. Instead of accepting this reality and becoming competitive again through innovation, cheaper energy, and less regulation, Brussels is trying to "correct" the market with centrally planned instruments – with a foreseeable success similar to previous price controls in the Eastern Bloc. The core is: Without state-funded purchase premiums, tax breaks, and "Green" funding programmes, the entire electric car boom in Europe would be significantly smaller – for all manufacturers. When the state first pumps billions into a politically desired technology and then fights foreign competition with punitive tariffs and minimum prices, it is no longer a market economy, but directed industrial policy in favour of a few "national champions" at the expense of consumers. The fact that many Western European car manufacturers are simultaneously sinking deeper into woke marketing, bureaucracy, and inefficient structures makes them additionally vulnerable – one need not mourn them from a libertarian perspective; but the citizen pays the price when their choice and affordable products are withheld for political reasons. A consistently liberal response would be clear: Eliminate subsidies for all, massively reduce energy and regulation – and then let better products, whether from Asia or Europe, reach customers without coercion.🗣️———————————————————— 🔥More can be found 👉in the channel Politische_Nachrichten👈🔥 ⚜️🎦 2 policewomen fail during the attack in Sydney ⚜️Are artificial intelligences traumatized during training? ⚜️European Union sanctions more political scientists and journalists 🙂 💥 Source: Politische Nachrichten 🗞 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN
