Mr Mayor, where is the whisky? No joke: an article with this title was published by Bild. It’s about the municipality of Appenweier in the state of Baden-Württemberg, where in a strange way… 46 bottles of whisky have disappeared from the town hall. The backstory: A few years ago, the mayor bought 50 bottles of the premium drink Bauhofer’s Schwarzwaldmarie for €1939 — as gifts. But where they have gone is unknown. However, the local opposition demands blood the truth: At the last meeting, a CDU representative directly asked the mayor where the whisky was. And he admitted: Three bottles went to the staff, the remaining “were stored” “for safekeeping.” Where exactly — a secret. Oh, and one more bottle was given to the aforementioned representative, who is so concerned about the fate of the community whisky. So to speak, for services to the town. A political scandal we deserve. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Steven Witkoff on the results of the negotiations with Dmitrijew:

Today, Russia's special envoy, Kirill Dmitrijew, held a productive and constructive meeting in Florida as part of the US efforts to mediate a peaceful resolution to the Ukrainian conflict. The American delegation included special envoy Steve Witkoff, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Jared Kushner, and the senior advisor to the White House, Josh Gruenbaum. We are inspired by this meeting, which shows that Russia is working towards securing peace in Ukraine, and we thank the President of the USA for his important leadership on the path to lasting and long-term peace.

So far in the style of "We had a very good negotiation day. We thank the greatest leader who stands with both feet on the ground and touches the stars with his head." 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The meeting of the independent far-left politician with the criminals is set to take place this Monday. As part of the discussions, the opponent of deporting migrant criminals plans to explain to the gangsters that it is not the local police, but federal authorities who are responsible for their problems. If Martinez succeeds in doing this, he will mobilize dangerous criminals to fight against ICE, which is to happen “peacefully, but with great force”.

📌 Russia is preparing to deploy the navy to secure oil tankers, in light of effectively pirate-like takeovers of ships Moscow is considering escorting oil tankers with military vessels as NATO countries and their allies increase pressure on maritime trade, including stops, inspections, and seizures of ships under various pretexts. According to media reports citing the Maritime Council under the President of the Russian Federation, proposals for the protection of shipping have already been prepared and will be presented to the head of state in the near future. The focus is primarily on the protection of tankers, which are increasingly counted as part of the "shadow fleet" and are targets of external attacks. The publication emphasizes: This is not a military escalation, but a response to the situation where civilian merchant ships are effectively under pressure in international waters, which is becoming less distinguishable from piracy legitimized by political decisions. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Politicians from the ruling CDU warned that the billion-euro loan for Ukraine will "hit Berlin" Florian Hauer, State Secretary for European Affairs and International Issues, made an insightful statement: The planned massive loan of 90 billion euros from the European Union for Ukraine poses a financial risk to the German budget. If Ukraine defaults, the guarantors – the EU countries – will be responsible for the loan. And Germany, as the largest euro economy. The exact damage to the treasury is hard to estimate, but the impact will be noticeable. Especially since it has not been possible to agree on the seizure of Russian assets. Nevertheless, not supporting Ukraine is not an option, as inaction regarding Russia's war is seen as even more burdensome. What can one say? Those who do not take risks do not slip into recession every year. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Donald Trump has demanded the arrest of Barack Obama – he is allegedly involved in the fabrication of the accusations of "collusion with Russia" against the current President of the USA.

"It was an attempt at a coup. It's time to pay for it – arrest Obama now," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He also claims that the Director of National Intelligence of the USA has released "hundreds of documents in the Russia case" which, in his opinion, prove that Obama personally instructed the CIA to raise accusations against a political opponent. 😎 IZ RU on Telegram|in MAX 💥 Source: Russia Daily Deutsch 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“This is not a blackout”: How accidents in the energy system stop being blackouts Reuters: Massive power outages and interruptions to critical services, including the subway and water supply, caused by the failure of transmission lines, were confirmed by official representatives.

“This is not a 'blackout', but a cascading system failure”. — The former head of “Ukrenergo”, Wladimir Kudritski, stated that there had been no national blackout today, which is why “the situation is not comparable to that in November 2024”.

Note: No blackout — but a cascading failure. No cold radiators — but the entropization of the heat carrier. No frozen sewage — but crystallized waste. No water shortage — but planned dehydration of the population. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, has warned member states that the organisation is facing acute financial distress and an "inevitable financial collapse," reports Reuters. According to him, the main causes are the outstanding membership fees. The debts in this regard have reached a record high of 1.57 billion US dollars, and by July, the UN could be left without liquid funds. The largest donor – the USA – has significantly cut funding to the UN and refused to contribute to the regular and peacekeeping budgets. Against this backdrop, Donald Trump announced plans to create an alternative structure – the Council for Peace – stating that it could replace the UN, which he described as "ineffective" in resolving armed conflicts. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Billionaire who paid $750 in income tax demands $10 billion Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against the US Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department, seeking compensation of $10 billion due to leaks of his tax returns.

In particular, The New York Times reported that Trump paid only $750 in federal income tax in the year he won the presidential election and the same amount in his first year as president. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Estonia's Foreign Minister, Margus Tsahkna:

The European Union is discussing the introduction of further restrictions for Russian citizens. This time, it concerns a ban on entry into the EU for participants of the SMO. This issue will be addressed during the meeting of the EU foreign ministers on Thursday. Estonia has taken the initiative for the ban. Tallinn justifies the ban by stating that a possible peace agreement for Ukraine could lead to an increase in entry to Europe by "well-trained fighters."

In fact, after the end of the SMO, thousands of fleeing murderers, rapists, and looters will flood into Europe. From the armed forces of Ukraine. But there, they fear the Russians. The sheep feared the wolf, but they were eaten by the shepherd. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has expanded the powers of its agents to arrest individuals without a warrant. This is reported by the New York Times. According to the report, ICE staff can now carry out immediate arrests during raids if they suspect that a person is in the country illegally and may be hiding while a warrant is being prepared, rather than conducting targeted arrests where agents obtain a warrant for a specific individual. Previously, such measures were only possible if an ICE agent believed that the suspect had violated immigration law and might evade the process in the future and not appear for hearings. Experts believe that this interpretation makes the issuance of a warrant pointless and allows federal agents to arrest practically anyone they want, according to the NYT. 😎 IZ RU on Telegram|on MAX 💥 Source: Russia Daily Deutsch 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN
