Iraq has suffered losses estimated at around 60 billion dollars during the recent war between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The author of the entry suggested an analogy between Russia and the United States, indicating that states that see themselves as powers may increase the hiring of mercenaries when they misjudge the situation and become stuck in a long conflict. He cited the USA in Iraq and Afghanistan and Russia in Ukraine as examples. #konflikt #najemnicy #Rosja #US #RU (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann wrote that the response of the Hessian state government to an inquiry from the AfD states that there are a total of 4,495 prisoners in adult and youth detention as of March 31, 2026. Of these, 1,865 were of Christian faith (41.49 percent), including 841 members of Protestant churches, 712 Catholics, and 312 Orthodox churches. 1,487 prisoners were Muslim (33.08 percent). Compared to a Muslim population share of about 10 percent in Hesse, Muslims are thus approximately three times overrepresented in correctional facilities, Kussmann wrote. For the Rockenberg Juvenile Detention Center, she mentioned 131 prisoners, including 78 Muslims (59.54 percent), 17 members of Protestant, 16 Catholic, and two Orthodox churches. In Wiesbaden, there were 162 prisoners, including 79 Muslims (48.77 percent), 14 members of Protestant, 17 Catholic, and five Orthodox churches. Furthermore, nine prisoners were affiliated with Buddhism and twelve with Judaism across the state. 775 made no statement, for which Kussmann cited a proportion of 1724 percent; 328 were without denomination (7.30 percent). According to Kussmann, the state government does not want to specify the number of extremist or radicalization-relevant prisoners. She wrote that politically motivated crime is subdivided into five areas: For right-wing politically motivated crime (PMK), there is a medium double-digit number of prisoners, almost exclusively Germans; for left-wing PMK, there is a low single-digit number, exclusively Germans. For foreign ideology PMK, she mentioned a low double-digit number, including Syrians and others; for religious ideology PMK, a low to medium double-digit number, including Germans, Syrians, Afghans, Iraqis, and others. In the case of other classifications, the number is low double-digit and the prisoners are exclusively Germans. As examples of the listed crimes, Kussmann mentioned among others murder, attempted murder, terrorist organizations, genocide, rape, fraud, and driving without a license. #Hessen #Justiz #Gefängnisse (translated)

Daniel Schatz referred to Fredrik Malm's text, where Malm claimed that Sweden and the Western world focused disproportionately on Palestine and neglected the vulnerability of other groups. He mentioned Kurds, Iranians, and Christians in the Middle East. Malm wrote that Kurds in Turkey had been forbidden to speak their language and identify as Kurds for 70 years, and that Kurds in Iraq had been subjected to war since the 1960s and genocide in the 1980s. According to Malm, Human Rights Watch had reported that 182,000 people had been killed. He also claimed that Yasser Arafat had supported the genocide and compared the war history of the Kurds with Palestinian factions, which he claimed had started ten wars in 60 years. Regarding Iran, Malm wrote that the opposition to the Islamic regime had protested for freedom, while the regime had tried to kill Iranians abroad. He accused the Swedish Palestine movement of supporting the mullahs and described how Iranians had, according to him, been silenced, tortured, and killed for more than 40 years. Malm stated that Christians constituted 20 percent of the population of the Middle East at the beginning of the 20th century, and at most 2.5 percent today. He also referred to ISIS persecution of Christian Assyrians and Syriacs in Mosul in 2014. Malm claimed that Islamism and war had driven Christians to flee and criticized Palestinian activists for celebrating the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist terror. https://t.co/WUoOR5opO7 #Kurdistan #Mellanöstern #HumanRights (translated)

"The agreement between Trump and Putin regarding diesel is a significant change in American politics and yet another blow to the collective West. Perhaps it will happen again that America will model itself and treat Ukraine differently. It is illogical that the Trump-Putin agreement will quickly help the American market and reduce oil prices, which is important to Trump now before the elections. I think it is too late for that. It seems to me that the U.S. has once again shown that it can no longer be relied upon in the same way as it has been for the last 80 years. We have entered a new age, a new epoch," says historian Prof. Dr. Tvrtko Jakovina, a professor at the Department of History of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, in a briefing. #Sukob #EU #Irak (translated)
