"Putin's desire for NATO to return to its borders before 1997 means a return of Bulgaria and Eastern Europe to the Russian sphere of influence.

U.M. OSINT wrote that the events discussed in the Spiegel article regarding Berlin would, in his view, go down in history. He personally categorized them historically alongside the German Autumn, airplane hijackings, and the Munich Olympic attack. He described the reactions to it as predictable and criticized that the reporting was dismissed as a Springer campaign and associated with the AfD. He stated that he had already reported on the topic at the end of September, while major media were primarily focusing on the Remmo clan. He rejected any connection to Springer and said that the AfD and the debate over expropriations in Berlin were irrelevant to him in this context. U.M. OSINT described as contradictory that a person who fears a terrorist environment in their party simultaneously advocates for a reduction in police powers and the abolition of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. He also wrote that the AfD wanted the latter as well. Additionally, he criticized that the person had quoted recommendations from the LKA. U.M. OSINT urged the SPD to initiate a member vote on the coalition and appealed to party members to rethink their position. In conclusion, he referred to a poem by Heinrich Heine and cited "Pariser Exil, 1843" as the source. #Berlin #Deutschland #Terrorismus (translated)

GFrei.News sharply criticized spicy food as an imported cultural ill and contrasted it with the variety of European cooking, brewing, vinification, and baking traditions. The author claimed that strong seasoning is primarily prevalent in poor, hot regions to mask the taste of spoiled food and prevent food poisoning. Since the early 2000s, this practice has spread in Germany through Indian restaurants, internet challenges, and television chefs. Furthermore, GFrei.News wrote that spicy food doesn’t really taste good but causes pain and the release of endorphins through capsaicin. These have a pain-relieving and mood-enhancing effect and can be addictive, the author claimed, comparing them to opium. In conclusion, he recommended a European meal with wine or beer, dessert, and espresso, and jokingly suggested having the waiter hit you afterward to release similar endorphins. He disparaged spices from poorer countries. #Essen #Kultur #Kulinarik (translated)

Daniel Gugger 888 wrote that he views NATO's aggressive eastward expansion as a personal motivation for Putin to attack Ukraine. NATO has approached Russia for decades; it has expanded eastward seven times since 1999. He also pointed to Aegis missiles in Poland and Romania that can be reconfigured from defense to offensive systems within two minutes, as well as possible NATO troops and missiles along the 2,000-kilometer-long Russian border. As a comparison, Gugger cited the Cuban Missile Crisis. He wrote that the USA had first stationed nuclear Jupiter intermediate-range missiles in Turkey in 1961, which were reachable by Moscow within ten minutes. The Soviet missiles in Cuba were a response to that; the crisis was resolved through a deal in which both sides withdrew their missiles. Today, Ukraine is a similar red line for Russia as Cuba was for the USA in 1962. Gugger disputed that a potential NATO membership for Ukraine was solely based on a voluntary request. He referred to Victoria Nuland and her statement from 2013 that the USA had invested more than five billion dollars in promoting democracy in Ukraine. A year later, a leaked phone call from Nuland surfaced in which she spoke disparagingly about the EU and discussed the occupation of the Ukrainian government after Maidan. Gugger described the change of power as a coup financed by Washington and pointed out that Arseniy Yatsenyuk had become Prime Minister. Additionally, Gugger claimed that since 2014, more than 14,000 people, mostly civilians, had been killed by the Ukrainian army and the Azov battalion in the Donbass. He wrote that residential areas, schools, and kindergartens in Luhansk and Donetsk had been shelled for eight years, and the people there had voted against belonging to Kiev in a referendum in 2014. Putin cited the protection of the Russian population in the region as justification. In conclusion, Gugger asked who benefits from the war. Rheinmetall shares were worth about 90 euros before the war, and now they cost more than 500 euros; the company is reporting record profits in the billions. BlackRock has a direct stake of more than five percent in Rheinmetall and is simultaneously engaged with Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman. Gugger also pointed out that Friedrich Merz had been the chairman of BlackRock Germany for many years. He wrote that taxpayers fund weapons while Ukrainians and Russians pay with their lives, and companies and individuals like Sigmar Gabriel receive record dividends. #NATO #Ukraine #Putin (translated)

According to Heimatgefühl, the well-known "plagiarism hunter" Stefan Weber had deactivated his X profile. The author suggested that this might initially be better for him. What Weber had called criticism, from his perspective, had been hate; moreover, Weber had threatened to make things public without providing evidence. According to Heimatgefühl, Weber had escalated after problems first with Wallasch and Tichy, and later with Sell and the AfD, and had repeatedly published insulting posts. In recent days, Weber had particularly distanced himself from the AfD. The author expressed hope that Weber would regain his senses and wrote that his behavior had damaged the reputation he had built over the years. #Plagiatsjäger #Kritik #Reputation (translated)
