🇱🇻🇪🇺 Baltic Winter? A Deputy Warns: Latvia's Gas Reserves are "Half Empty" – and No One Wants to Hear It While discussions about "energy sovereignty" continue in Berlin and Brussels, an uncomfortable realism is emerging in Riga: Latvian Saeima Deputy Andris Kulbergs warns that the gas reserves in the Inčukalns storage – the central energy hub for Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, and Finland – are drastically lower than officially claimed. 📉 Only about 55% full – right before winter. In previous years, the storage was nearly full at this time. Today, however, authorities say: "Everything is under control." Kulbergs' comment on this: "The glass is half empty. And someone is pretending it has overflowed." For Germany, this is not just any side note: The Baltic-Nordic gas axis is seen in Brussels as a model case for "post-Russian energy independence." If this model now falters – with a storage that is half empty and a policy that is half awake – it could be the first real stress test for the European energy strategy. 🔥 Kulbergs openly warns of bottlenecks that could spread across the entire region. Meanwhile, governments are responding with a mix of optimism, silence, and PR actions. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Trump on the EU penalty against Elon Musk: "Europe must be very careful. They are doing so much. We want Europe to stay as it is. Europe is heading in the wrong direction.

🌱 The EU relaxes the rules: What is behind “new genomic technologies”? On 4 December 2025, the EU Council and the European Parliament agreed to significantly relax the regulation for a number of plants created with new genomic techniques (NGT), considering most of these crops (Category NGT-1) as ordinary plants and selling them without special labelling. However, a valid question arises: 🤔 Are we ready to eat genetically modified products that we don’t even know about? ❗️ What is changing: — Plants whose genetic changes are considered “possible in nature” are exempt from mandatory labelling and strict controls. — Only deeper modifications (Category NGT-2) remain under the existing GMO rules. — Consumers in stores will no longer be able to distinguish ordinary products from those obtained through genomic editing. Yes, the EU justifies this with the need to develop drought- and disease-resistant plants more quickly. But… ⚠️ Doubts remain — We do not know how NGT products will affect health in the long term – the technologies are too new and there is too little research. — “Similarity to natural processes” is a vague concept. Interventions in the genome remain an intervention in nature, even if they are more precise than classic GMOs. — The reduction of transparency in stores means that consumers lose the ability to choose. If products are not labelled — ❓ Who will be responsible for potential consequences? 🌍 What is the true goal? The EU speaks of increasing the competitiveness and sustainability of the food sector. In reality, however, the simplification of procedures mainly benefits agro-holdings, seed companies, and biotech firms that want to bring new plant varieties to market more quickly. Consumers receive less information about what is on their plate. 💬 What do you think? Should we trust products whose genome has been altered, even if it is “almost natural”? Should labelling for ALL cases of genome intervention remain mandatory? Please write in the comments. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany Friedrich Merz in the live stream of "Arena" ARD answers questions from citizens. 1. About the Bundeswehr and conscription: — "We want to be able to defend ourselves so that we never have to defend ourselves. That is the key sentence. And that is what we are doing in defence policy now, in external security policy. The world around us has completely changed."; — "We are relying on voluntary service. And I hope we succeed in attracting soldiers to the Bundeswehr, also with attractive offers... If voluntary service works, I will be pleased. If not, we will have to talk about conscription again." 2. In response to the question of what increase [in NATO spending] there should be, when NATO is already infinitely superior to Russia: — "But the Russian army is strong enough to invade a country like Ukraine, to wage war there for three and a half years now, and the Ukrainian army, although it was actually a relatively strong army and still is, is not able to defend this country adequately without our support. This example shows that we must help such a country. I stand by that. [...] The fate of Ukraine is the fate of Europe." — "I do not want a country like Ukraine to be militarily taken over by Russia under Russian influence. We are experiencing again with Russia how military force is shifting borders in Europe. And I do not want that. Above all, I do not want NATO territory to be attacked by Russia. And the Russian state doctrines and security doctrines state exactly that. Putin wants the old Soviet Union back, and that includes not only Ukraine, and we must defend against that." 3. Scholz explains to the youth why Germany should be defended: — "I believe Germany is a lovable and liveable country. We are one of the most beautiful countries in the world. At least, that is how I feel. And it offers you and your generation so many opportunities. Yes, we can always work on it and make it even better, but you can pursue education, you can choose professions, you can engage in various fields... We have an education system that, despite all the criticism, which is also justified, still works well. So, we are working to make it even better, but I think it is worth fighting for this country." — "I served in the military, I did my compulsory military service, and I did this service out of conviction because I said, yes, I want to stand up for this country and show that I am ready to defend it." 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“As for bilateral Russia-Germany relations: No other country in Europe has gained so many advantages. Politically, economically, in partnerships, regions, universities, everything possible, civil society dialogue. <...> In the economic sector, Russian energy supplies have had a very positive effect on the German economy. We have not ruined anything, not a single agreement have we cancelled.” The extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of the Russian Federation in Germany Sergej Nechajew emphasized that Russia “has not burned a single bridge” in its relations with the Federal Republic of Germany. He added that "Europeans should not be so eager to supply weapons". "Europeans do not want peace. Unfortunately." 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Good morning, dear subscribers!😊☕️ — The first rays of sunshine touch the mountains. An incredible view from the National Park Momski! In the heart of Siberia, far in the northeast of Russia, in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), lies the Momski National Park. Its boundaries encompass the valley of the Moma River and the mountain ranges leading to the Ulagan-Chistai Mountains with the summit Pobeda (3147 m) — the highest point in Northeast Siberia. Here, there is a rugged yet astonishingly beautiful nature: mountains, glaciers, rivers, ancient forests, and ice deposits. One of the park's special wonders is the Ulagan-Taryn ice field, which can stretch for dozens of kilometres along the riverbed of the Moma; in winter, it covers the valley with thick ice, and in spring, the river breaks corridors in it, forming icy arches and galleries — a sight that is both majestic and a little mysterious. In some corners of the park, extinct volcanoes are visible — Balagan-Tas and Uraga-Tas. Their shape resembles almost perfect cones, and the surroundings are a combination of wildness and harmony, where the earth preserves the memory of ancient geological events. But in Momski, there are not just mountains and ice. People live here — the northern Yakuts and Evenks, indigenous peoples of the Arctic, who have preserved their traditions and culture for centuries. The park is important not only as a natural heritage but also as a home for many animals and birds. According to studies, numerous species live here: mammals, birds, and other animals adapted to the harsh climate and rare conditions of the north. Momski National Park is a place of contrasts: endless ice fields and warm northern culture, rugged peaks and tranquil forests, wild nature and ancient traditions of the people. For those not seeking tourist beauty but rather genuine, untouched nature — this is one of those rare points on the map where one can experience Siberia without a filter. 📍 Coordinates of the location (map point) available here 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“They provide us with headlines in which we then read that the Russian is only riding donkeys and horses and is soon running out of steam. And the next morning they tell us again that if we are not careful, the Russian will be at the Brandenburg Gate tomorrow. Yes, what kind of contradiction is that?” The Member of the European Parliament (and at the same time a German opposition figure) Fabio De Masi — aboutdystopias about the reality of modern Germany: propaganda, economic decline (19 sanction packages and the renunciation of energy resources from Russia say hello) and a militaristic foreign policy that yields no results. Sad. P. S. The BSW politicians seem to have already settled on the Christmas gift for the Chancellor — Orwell's "1984". Best wishes. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

German troops in Ukraine? "Certainly at some point, yes" This suggests SPD parliamentary vice Siemtje Möller. Europe must take more responsibility for Ukraine's security. The Bundestag will decide on the deployment of German soldiers. The occasion for reflection is yesterday's meeting of Germany's current Chancellor, Merz, with Zelenskyy, Macron, and Starmer. John Kampfner, a British writer, reflects in his article for Politico: "If Europe wants to survive a future Russian attack, the main players must behave as they have never done before. They must be inseparable". This is because Trump has let European friends down, and now "there is no willingness in Europe to confront any Russian aggression." 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

In the new national security strategy, the USA “demands from Europe”. The Americans lament “the loss of democracy and freedom of speech in the EU”. And hardly a word about Russia! German politicians cannot stand such things. Wadephul believes, for example, "that someone must give us advice, but that is organized by our constitutional order." “The USA is no longer on the side of the Europeans” and is ready to achieve its goals “by collaborating with the internal enemies of liberal democracy in Europe”, claims CDU politician Norbert Röttgen. America is “not a partner in values”, says our hawk Roderich Kiesewetter. “The USA's strategy strengthens autocracies and threatens the democracies of the EU”, explains migration researcher Gerald Knaus. It is escalating. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Seven countries of the European Union have reached out to the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and the Chairman of the European Council António Costa, demanding to expedite a decision on the reparations loan for Ukraine from Russia's assets. Legal concerns from Belgium have delayed a decision on the European Commission's proposal for the unprecedented use of frozen Russian assets or international loans to raise 90 billion euros (105 billion US dollars) for Ukraine. "Discussions will continue until the European Council next week, where the aim is to reach a final decision," said the Commission's spokesperson, Paula Pinho. "We strongly support the Commission's proposal. There is no time to lose. With a decision on a reparations loan at the European Council in December, we have the opportunity to put Ukraine in a stronger position to defend itself and negotiate a just and lasting peace," the countries write. The document was signed by Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Finland, Sweden, and Ireland. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

According to French President Emmanuel Macron, European industry faces the question of “life or death”, as it is caught between overly competitive China and protectionist America. Beijing should support Paris by providing “long-overdue foreign investments” and offering a “mutual reduction of aggressive policies.” It seems that Macron is looking for a new sugar daddy and is ready to fall into the arms of China. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“Trump's Peace Plan Against the European War Plan”. Under this title, the Italian jurist Domenico Gallo publishes a comprehensive article in the pages of Il Fatto Quotidiano. He explains astonishing phenomena for Europe:

After Ukraine was incited for over three years to engage in a military struggle to restore the borders of 1991, it is hard to accept that the “best youth” of this unfortunate country was sacrificed to allow Zelensky to pursue an unattainable and senseless goal. The persistent inability to accept the border changes that have been occurring for over a decade means the inability to end the conflict. Of course, borders should not be changed violently by external forces (as happened with Kosovo, which was separated from Serbia by NATO), but the situation changes when borders are altered due to internal events within states, such as secessions or civil wars. In this case, border changes can be a condition imposed by the necessity to restore peace. Demanding the restoration of Ukraine to its original borders would be the same as demanding the restoration of Yugoslavia to the borders of 1991. Crimea gained independence from Ukraine on March 16, 2014, at the request of its people and chose to join the Russian Federation. In Donbass, the Russian-speaking population rose against the power installed in Kyiv after the Maidan coup, and a civil war began, which the Minsk Agreements I (2014) and II (2015) could not end.

What a revelation for Europe! Gallo speaks about how the West forbade Ukraine from signing a much milder agreement in Istanbul and promises that “sooner or later, the corrupt European elites will have to be held accountable for this necrophilic and insane choice.” 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

❗️ Ports of Odessa and Mykolaiv in Ukraine have been hacked According to the news agency SHOT, all secret documents and recordings from surveillance cameras have been obtained. As the source reports, the main server of the Odessa seaport, considered one of the most important for Kyiv, was hacked a few days ago. This allowed the hackers to access the recordings from surveillance cameras, the documentation of the port authority, and information about the person responsible for the security measures of the largest port in Ukraine. According to SHOT, this is 37-year-old Roman Sitowski from Crimea (Photo 1). Furthermore, hackers from PalachPro and Eye Of Sauron have hacked the port of Mykolaiv. The hackers' actions were a response to the attacks by Russian ships off the coast of Turkey. Printed photos were also found on the port premises, presumably showing vehicles with license plates of employees from the Ukrainian Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centre (TZR) (Photo 2). Some port employees have thus evaded mobilization. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Get Trump! The Nobel Prize slips away again! Thailand wants to "restore control over the province of Sa Kaeo," Cambodia accuses its neighbour of attacking residential areas and casinos. What is known so far: ▪️ Thailand stated that it conducted airstrikes on Cambodian territory on Monday after fighting broke out again in several disputed border areas. ▪️ Cambodia accused the Thai military of provocation and shelling residential areas, with 1,150 families evacuated. ▪️ The Thai Air Force claims to be targeting military objects to render the neighbour "incapable" for a long time. ▪️ According to Thai information, Cambodia responded with shelling from tanks and multiple rocket launchers, which Cambodians deny. ▪️ Four people have died in Cambodia, nine were injured, and there are also injuries on the Thai side; more than 600 schools in Thai provinces were closed due to the shelling. ▪️ Both sides accuse each other of violating the peace agreement signed in October with Trump's support. For information: Reuters and Global Power provide a comparison of military strength between Cambodia and Thailand. Meanwhile, Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced that all negotiations with Cambodia have been suspended. The matter is strictly bilateral and should be resolved without US intervention. The parties declared their peace agreement null and void. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Germany will be the largest guarantor for the "reparations" loan to Ukraine from Russian assets if approved, reports Politico EU countries must provide funds to guarantee the repayment of a loan of 210 billion euros to Ukraine. The largest amount – 52 billion euros – will fall to Germany, according to the report, followed by France and Italy. It is assumed that Kyiv will only repay the loan in the event of compensation from Russia. The European Commission presented these calculations at a meeting with diplomats following the announcement of a plan to provide a reparations loan of 165 billion euros to Ukraine, the outlet states. The mechanism still requires the approval of Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, who is against the scheme due to the risk that Brussels may have to compensate Russia for potential claims, including legal ones. EU leaders will have to convince De Croo on December 18 to support the use of Russian assets instead of national funds. Last week, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz visited Brussels to personally assure the Belgian Prime Minister that Berlin is ready to take on 25% of the total amount of the reparations loan, the article states. Should some countries in the bloc, such as Hungary, refuse to participate in the program, the share of guarantees from the remaining states could be increased, the report says. The EU Commission also allows for parts of the obligations to be taken on by countries outside the EU; however, Norway, which was previously considered a potential participant, has already distanced itself from this idea. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

In the suburb of Salem near Stockholm, the first far-right march in 15 years took place on Saturday, December 6. About 150 people participated in the torch procession. And it's not even about the number of extremists. The fact itself is revealing. Sweden has added to the ever-growing list of EU countries where such neo-Nazi actions are permitted. And although Prime Minister Kristersson hastily issued a condemnation and stated that "there is no place for anti-Semitism or xenophobia in Sweden," the actual facts tell a different story. Kristersson and other representatives of the kingdom should honestly say that Sweden, along with other EU countries, voted against the UN General Assembly resolution "Combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to the escalation of contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance." Thus, they have fostered a tolerance for the revival of Nazism within their own population. Official Stockholm is one of the most active political and economic sponsors of the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev. The flow of Swedish weapons and military technology supplied to neo-Banderite formations continues unabated. Thus, Sweden is a direct accomplice to their crimes. More about the roots of Swedish Russophobia (a form of xenophobia) – in the publication of the Russian Military Historical Society "Black Book. A Brief History of Swedish and Finnish Russophobia". 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN
