Stefan Thumann wrote in part 5 of his series "Why Donaustahl" that numerous Chinese and other foreign accounts had commented on his post. He suspected that he had struck a sensitive point in the global industry. It's not just about producing an electric motor in Germany, but about controlling an independent supply chain for rare earths and their processing, independent of China. Thumann wrote that this undermines the monopoly that the communists have built up against the West and weakens China's leverage in an impending major conflict. The Chinese side relies on being able to interrupt the supply chain if necessary; Donaustahl GmbH is thwarting this plan, he explained. #Lieferkette #Industrie #Energie (translated)

Gordito Mercenario stated that River once again let a match slip away due to Ponzio's insistence on keeping Martínez Quarta, Galván, and Fausto Vera, despite the damage they were causing to the club, according to him. He also questioned why Pereyra only came on in the 70th minute and claimed that he always created danger. #RiverPlate #FútbolArgentino #Ponzio (translated)

Joaco wondered what Fausto Vera brought compared to Silva, Martínez Quarta compared to Ramírez or the backup center-back, and Galván compared to any River youth player. He also raised whether it would be better to try to enhance players who could potentially perform, instead of continuing to bet on footballers who, as he wrote, had played many matches without demonstrating that they could offer more than their current level. #Fútbol #RiverPlate #Jugadores (translated)

Dr. Christoph Canne criticized a proposal from the Union's parliamentary leadership in the Magdeburg state parliament to prevent its members from voting for the prime minister through an expulsion from the parliament. He called the idea a serious attack on free parliamentarism and advised the deputies to leave the faction if they received such a request. They should also preserve their personal reputation, wrote Canne. #Politik #Parlamentarismus #Ministerpräsident (translated)

Nicolas Redondo Terreros questioned the actions of the members of the Constitutional Court in the approval of the amnesty and argued that they had favored Pedro Sánchez and Carles Puigdemont. He claimed that the measure had served to secure the seven independentist votes necessary for Sánchez to remain in La Moncloa and rejected that its purpose had been to pacify Catalan society or facilitate political agreements. The author said that if the Supreme Court ruled against it, the Constitutional Court would still have to pronounce on the so-called "grandchildren's law." He also maintained that the magistrates had lost prestige and had acted in the service of a leader who, according to him, lacked scruples and threatened democratic balances. Redondo Terreros responded to Cándido Conde-Pumpido's assertion that going against the Constitutional Court was going against democracy. In his view, criticizing the court's management and its intervention in the Supreme Court's realm was also a way to defend it. #Constitución #Democracia #Justicia (translated)

LilitThyra wrote that a Swedish police officer had been privately in Copenhagen and tried to settle a dispute. During this, a man hit him on the head or neck. An artery was torn; the officer died despite an emergency operation. The Copenhagen City Court convicted the man, according to LilitThyra, of simple assault, not of dangerous bodily harm or homicide. It imposed a one-year prison sentence as well as a one-year ban on entering bars, clubs, and similar establishments after midnight. The perpetrator had come to Denmark as a toddler from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is now a Danish citizen. Furthermore, he had multiple prior convictions for rape, bodily injury, and attempted murder. #Dänemark #Justiz #Kriminalität (translated)

The author wrote that they had spent a week in Ukraine visiting drone labs, speaking with trauma therapists and foreign fighters, seeing soldiers’ graves and watching *Faust* at the Lviv opera.

He wrote that more and more money is being spent on electricity production while the costs for its purchase are also at the expense of consumers.
