The gaslighting was enormous regards the actual meat grinder that was being done, was against the Ukranian side in reality. Either way this isn't a tank on tank battle like Kursk in 1943, it is a tank versus drone and artillery scenario, where they ran out of artillary, where an old russian tank with welded cages around it, could be far more effective then the latest tank the germans had to offer on the field.

What was wanted from germany was the Taurus missile system https://www.politico.eu/article/why-germany-scholz-rattled-sending-taurus-missile-ukraine/ to attack Russia directly, and get an over the top response from them, to push propaganda and get a response from the west, escalation, like the Storm shadow missile, which they have near run out of. Scholz is a spastic traitor, of a long line of spastic german traitors, but even he wouldn't give them such, as unlike the french or brits, they did not want german military to be directly involved in attacking Russia, which would need to be, as the ukrainians cannot use them themselves. I half suspect this is a one of the reasons the coalition collapsed right after Trumps election was to do with this, opposition parties like the CDU, are mad for giving them such, let alone the Russians reverse engineer it if a launch of one fails to land properly https://www.politico.eu/article/why-germany-scholz-rattled-sending-taurus-missile-ukraine/

I cannot find a decent link on such, but that failed martial law attempt in South Korea may have been about sending weapons to ukraine, as the parliament and people were completely against it, suspend the parliament, send the weapons, where otherwise parliament would have blocked it, as he is mad on side the current US administration, and certain people are getting desperate. Same with the supposed North Koreans in ukraine story was to push for allowing direct strikes on Riussia and to try gaslight the South Korean people as well, when millions of asians and a ton of Koreans have been living in current russia for hundreds of years, did they find a passport or is it because they look like east asians ?, clown stuff.

The Germans were forced into the conflict by whatever means.
They haven't forgotten about the last one.
Plus the reliability of gas and resources from Russia.
However
From the Frau onwards the German political system is a compromised disgrace.
And how the hell can the electorate vote green?
The most pompous, treacherously bankrupt and self regarding politicians of them all.
Environmental warmongering morons.
Back in the day they were totally anti war.

Go back 40 years and the environmental movement still had some semblance of fighting for a cause they believed in and yes, there was plenty of disregard for the environment that needed addressing. But having gained some notice the pressure groups were joined by those who lusted for power for here was a new cause by which they could break into politics without having to work their way up through the tedious mill of the traditional parties.

The environment? Ah yes, that just became an excuse to impose authoritarianism.

During the 1970s and 1980s, Petra Kelly traveled the globe, visiting local sites of anti-nuclear protest. Intent on bringing the energy of disparate grassroots anti-nuclear protests into parliamentary politics, Kelly helped found the West German Greens in 1980.

Ukraine ‘has ceased to exist’ – ex-commander​

The country’s leadership has hollowed out the nation and turned it into a “concentration camp,” Vladimir Shylov has said

The Ukrainian state has essentially ceased to exist, is plagued by endemic institutional failure and corruption, with Kiev's troops continuing to hold on by sheer will alone, a former commander has argued. He also warned that Ukraine’s defenses could collapse, allowing Russia to march all the way to the Dnieper River.
In an interview with Novyni Live on Monday, Vladimir Shylov, former commander of the 3rd Company in the 134th Separate Territorial Defense Battalion, lashed out at Ukraine’s political leadership, stating that the country has “ceased to exist” as a functional state due to widespread graft and mismanagement.
Shylov expressed concern that these woes could allow Russian forces to increase their gains, warning that they may be able to overrun frontline positions in Donbass and reach as far as the Dnieper River. The advances could be facilitated by internal chaos, he added, stating “In our country, everything is a mess...the front is holding only thanks to the Ukrainian people.”

No accountability in the Ukrainian armed forces – MP
Ukrainian leaders have transformed the nation into a “concentration camp,” Shylov claimed, highlighting systemic failures across all branches of government, including the legislative, executive, and judicial sectors.
Shylov also specifically criticized the country’s leader, Vladimir Zelensky, for what he described as a blatant neglect of his defense responsibilities, alleging that his government had ignored Western warnings of a Russian offensive prior to the special military operation, resulting in the inadequate preparation of Kiev’s forces.
The ex-commander went on to comment on Ukraine’s ongoing incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region, portraying it as a political ploy without any real strategic military value. He argued that the Ukrainian offensive had turned out to be a symbolic gesture which does not compensate for the substantial territorial losses Ukraine has suffered, particularly in Donbass.
Over the past several months, Russia has made significant gains in Donbass and elsewhere, with President Vladimir Putin noting that regular advances now amount to kilometers rather than hundreds of meters.
Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov said earlier this month that Ukraine had lost one million service members since February 2022, with more than half of that number in 2024 alone, adding that Moscow’s forces are in full control of the strategic initiative.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian battlefield commanders continue to complain of a critical shortage of manpower, despite Kiev implementing stricter mobilization rules and lowering the draft age from 27 to 25 this spring.

Hungary loses EU funding amid rule-of-law dispute​

Brussels claims the country has failed to tackle corruption and implement reforms, while Budapest says it has met all requirements

The EU has permanently denied Hungary access to over €1 billion ($1.04 billion) in funds as of January 1, 2025, due to an ongoing dispute over alleged rule-of-law violations, Welt reported on Thursday citing a spokeswoman for the European Commission. This marks the first perpetual loss of funding by an EU member state under the bloc’s “conditionality” mechanism, according to the outlet.
Introduced in 2020, the mechanism allows Brussels to suspend funding to member states which it believes violate the bloc’s rule-of-law principles.
The EU has pressured Hungary to change its laws in order to tackle alleged conflicts of interest and corruption for some time, launching “conditionality” proceedings against it back in 2022 and blocking its EU funding.
Brussels has cited alleged infringements of public procurement rules and a lack of control and transparency as reasons for the move. Hungary has since launched reforms and cleared some of the funds, but around €19 billion remain frozen.

In July 2024, the European Commission released its fifth Rule of Law report, which highlighted that Hungary still failed to meet EU democratic standards. The report pointed to persistent failures by the country in tackling issues such as corruption, political financing, conflicts of interest, and media independence. Budapest was told it needed to complete reforms by the end of the year or “the first tranche of discontinued commitments,” amounting to €1.04 billion, would expire. The forfeited funds were earmarked for the development of economically disadvantaged regions within the country.
According to media reports, the next €1.1 billion tranche intended for Hungary expires at the end of 2025.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban argues that his country has fulfilled all EU requirements, and has vowed to fight to protect money “that is ours.” In mid-December, he threatened to veto the EU’s next seven-year budget unless Hungary regains access to the blocked funds. The 2028-2035 budget requires unanimity among the 27 member states to be approved. Negotiations on the budget are expected to begin in mid-2025.

Amid the dispute with Brussels and in order to fill financing gaps, Hungary has turned to other funding sources, including loans from China. Last April, Budapest took a 3-year $1 billion loan from China Development Bank, Export-Import Bank of China and Bank of China Hungarian unit to help finance infrastructure, transport, and energy projects. The Hungarian Debt Management Agency said in July that more such loans could be incoming as Hungary’s economic links with the Asian nation grow.

Cybertruck explosion suspect ‘served in Ukraine’ – AP​

The highly decorated US Army Green Beret died in an alleged suicide before the blast near a Trump hotel

The suspect in the Tesla Cybertruck explosion on New Year’s Day, identified as Master Sgt. Matthew Alan Livelsberger, was a veteran US special forces operative who not only deployed to Afghanistan twice but also served in Ukraine, AP reports, citing the US Army.
The blast outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday left seven people with minor injuries. Livelsberger died at the scene from an allegedly self-inflicted gunshot wound before the truck exploded, according to Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill.
The US Army confirmed on Thursday that Livelsberger enlisted in 2006 and had served with the 10th Special Forces Group based in Stuttgart, Germany since 2012. His military career included multiple deployments to Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Georgia, and Congo, earning him numerous awards, including five Bronze Stars.

The US Army also confirmed, according to AP, that Livelsberger was “serving in Ukraine” at some point, although the exact timing is unclear.
“US Army Special Operations Command is cooperating fully with federal and state law enforcement agencies, but as a matter of policy, we will not comment on ongoing investigations,” the US Army stated.
Law enforcement officials indicated that Livelsberger had packed the rented Tesla Cybertruck with fireworks, camping fuel, and other explosive materials. Despite the explosion’s proximity to the Trump hotel, the sheriff claimed that there is no conclusive evidence of political or ideological motives.
In a photo posted by his wife on Facebook in 2016, Livelsberger is seen wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with a Ukrainian coat of arms and a nationalist slogan. In a comment on LinkedIn, he responded to an offer for work in Ukraine, stating that he knew a “top” special forces medical sergeant who had been “looking for just this opportunity.”
READ MORE: Suspect behind Trump hotel Cybertruck explosion named – media
Livelsberger was on leave from his assignment in Germany during the incident. His wife reportedly told investigators that he had been absent from their Colorado Springs home following an argument about infidelity over the holidays.
As a Green Beret, Livelsberger was based at Fort Liberty (formerly known as Fort Bragg) in North Carolina. Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who killed 14 people in a vehicle attack in New Orleans on Wednesday morning, was also stationed at Fort Liberty and had deployed to Afghanistan. The Army is currently investigating whether the two men knew each other.
