JUST IN: 🇷🇺🇩🇪 Putin May Have Made A Historic Mistake, Germany Is Rebuilding A Military Russia Could Fear A warning emerging from Russian strategic circles is becoming increasingly significant: Moscow’s confrontation with Europe may have awakened a power that had deliberately kept its military ambitions restrained for decades. Germany is now rapidly rebuilding the Bundeswehr, and the transformation could fundamentally change Europe’s military balance. 🔰 €108+ billion in 2026 defense related spending, with the core defense budget alone around €82.7 billion. 🔰 Defense spending is planned to rise toward 3.5% of GDP by 2029. 🔰 A major expansion of Germany’s military personnel and combat readiness. 🔰 F-35A stealth fighters for high end strike and NATO nuclear sharing missions. 🔰 Additional Eurofighters and major upgrades to Germany’s existing fleet. 🔰 Leopard 2A8 main battle tanks and expanded armored forces. 🔰 Boxer armored vehicles and modern mechanized formations. 🔰 IRIS-T SLM and Patriot air defense systems. 🔰 Tomahawk long range cruise missiles. 🔰 Development of next generation European long range strike weapons. 🔰 Cooperation with Britain on advanced cruise missile and hypersonic weapons. 🔰 Massive investment in drones, satellites, electronic warfare, communications and battlefield networks. 🔰 A rapidly expanding German defense industrial base capable of producing weapons at much greater scale. Germany’s military spending has already surged. SIPRI estimates German military expenditure reached roughly $114 billion in 2025, a 24% increase from the previous year. But the biggest change may still be ahead. Germany has the economic power, industrial capacity and technological base to sustain a major military buildup for years. If Berlin follows through on its plans, Germany could enter the 2030s with stealth fighters, advanced air defenses, large armored formations, long range precision weapons, drones, modern command networks and a defense industry operating at a completely different scale. And Russia may have helped trigger it. Moscow wanted to reshape Europe’s security order. Instead, its confrontation with Europe may be creating a far more militarized Germany, one that could become increasingly assertive and much harder for Russia to ignore. The Germany of the future may look very different from the Germany Russia faced before the Ukraine war. 👀 Putin may have awakened Europe’s sleeping giant.

Jensen Huang is warning that China is winning the AI energy race. $NVDA $AMD $IREN $NBIS 🇨🇳 🇺🇸 🇪🇺 The US is generations ahead on chips, but that doesn't matter if there is no energy to power them. Europe is completely irrelevant in AI and doomed already. It takes 10 years to build a new data center in Germany, as there is no power, and they are turning off nuclear power plants. The US won't let China win, so we could be at the beginning stages of an energy boom. The question is which stocks will benefit from this boom the most?

🇩🇪 Another piece of Germany just died. Playmobil — the iconic “Made in Germany” toy that filled childhoods for generations — has shut its last factory on German soil after 57 years. 350 workers gone. The machines, the tools, even the leftover figures are now being auctioned off from €1. They cite the usual suspects: weak economy, inflation, soaring wages, transport… and energy costs that no longer make sense. This wasn’t inevitable. It was a choice. Cheap Russian energy once kept German industry competitive. Sever that lifeline for the geopolitics of national suicide, double down on expensive alternatives and the green protection racket, and watch the factories leave for Czechia and Malta. “Made in Germany” is becoming a museum piece while the establishment in Berlin talks about “reform.” Merz and the political class can announce all the tax packages they want. The industrial base is already packing up and walking out the door. Sad day for Germany. Continued contempt and betrayal by Germany's political class.

Germany's self-induced energy crisis has to be studied as a case study in how to destroy a leading industrial nation. After Germany phased out its nuclear power plants, it even blew up the cooling towers in an act of self-sabotage. And now, just as the world is facing its biggest energy security crisis in history, Germany has positioned itself in the worst possible position. Those 2 reactors once supplied Germany with: - ~4% of its electricity annually - Nuclear once accounted for almost 30% of Germany's electricity Today, Germany has among the highest electricity prices in the world and is facing rampant deindustrialization. Chancellor Merz acknowledged that the nuclear phaseout was a mistake but said there is nothing to do about it.

#WATCH | Delhi: Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani says, "What has become even more obvious from the recent Middle East conflict and targeted attacks on infrastructure is that energy security and digital security are no longer independent dimensions. They are now the twin foundations of national power. And it is increasingly evident that the country that controls its energy will drive its industrial future. The country that controls its compute will drive its intelligence future, and the country that controls both will shape the century ahead. This is the new geometry of power. If 1947 was about our political freedom, true independence in the 21st century will mean owning the energy that lights our homes and the intelligence that guides our minds. This is not a theory. The two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have understood this deeply. Their systems may be different. Their politics may be different. Their institutions may be different. But their strategic objectives are the same. No nation can call itself truly self-reliant if it depends on others for the energy that powers its economy or the intelligence that shapes its destiny."

BIG | 🇩🇪🇪🇺‼️‼️ German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has acknowledged that Germany is undergoing a profound political realignment after the far right’s historic electoral breakthrough, admitting that the federal government has failed to build a strong emotional connection with a growing part of the electorate. Merz said Germany has a strong constitution and all the necessary instruments to defend its democratic order even against a far-right state government, but warned that the country is experiencing “tectonic shifts” across its party system. He acknowledged that neither he nor his government can simply continue operating as usual and conceded that they have not succeeded in connecting with voters on an emotional level. The warning comes after the AfD’s extraordinary breakthrough in Saxony-Anhalt and exposes a much deeper challenge for Berlin than a single regional defeat. Germany remains one of the central pillars of European support for Ukraine and NATO deterrence, while the AfD favors a dramatically different approach toward Russia and Kyiv. Merz now faces the difficult task of addressing domestic frustration without weakening Germany’s strategic commitments at a moment when Russian military and hybrid pressure on Europe is intensifying.

HABECK: "THERE IS NO DOUBT" GERMAN NUCLEAR COULD HAVE KEPT RUNNING FOR 15 MORE YEARS This week, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck clarified for Germans that the nuclear plants whose closure he enforced could've kept running, and that closing them was a political, not technical, decision. Although consumer power prices have declined, industrial energy remains more expensive than before the closure of nuclear, the cheapest generators of baseload power in Germany. As German industrial companies continue to place new factories outside of the country, several of these nuclear plants sit ready to return to operation. During the worst days of the energy crisis, Habeck and his officials claimed the plants couldn't be continued. International experts, plenty of them here, also incorrectly claimed the plants couldn't keep running. It is helpful to have Habeck's explicit confirmation ahead of the parliamentary committee of inquiry looking into the decision to continue nuclear closures despite the low of Russian pipeline gas, which seriously damaged German industrial competitiveness.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Jamison Firestone: Putin may be betting on German politics as much as the Russian army. Russia doesn't necessarily have to break Ukraine on the battlefield. It may only have to outlast its European funding. Russia analyst Jamison Firestone argues there are now two wars running simultaneously. The first is military. Russia continues grinding against Ukraine’s defensive lines while preparing, in Firestone’s view, for another major mobilization. He estimates Moscow would need roughly another 760,000 troops to sustain another 18 months of fighting. But the second war is political. Firestone believes Putin is betting that European governments could change before Russia runs out of time. Germany is particularly important. If political power shifts far enough to the right and German funding for Ukraine dries up, Firestone argues the consequences could be decisive. “If the government in Germany changes and the money stops, right? That’s it. They’ve won.” That helps explain why frozen Russian assets are suddenly back at the center of the debate. Ukraine has announced a $27 billion budget hole, while Europe is facing decisions about how to finance the war beyond the money already committed. So the race is no longer simply Russia versus Ukraine. It’s Russia’s manpower and economic endurance versus Ukraine’s military resilience and Europe’s political patience. Putin may not need Europe to become pro-Russian. He just needs it to become tired. Brandon Weichert

For years, Germany’s established parties, backed by nearly all of its major media, maintained a “firewall” (Brandmauer) between themselves and the anti-mass-migration party Alternative for Germany (AfD). “The firewall is probably the most important and the most powerful tool of the left parties in Germany,” Pauline Voss, a politics reporter for the German news outlet NIUS, told Public in an interview on Monday. “And strangely, the CDU, the conservative party, adopted and integrated this firewall into their own politics,” despite the two parties’ overlapping agendas. That firewall began to break down on Sunday, when the AfD won a historic victory in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt. “For the first time it was possible for the AfD to gain power, to be the winner, not only the winner of an election, but maybe in the end to be part of the government,” Voss said. In 2020, after a Free Democrat politician won the premiership of Thuringia with AfD and CDU votes, Chancellor Angela Merkel called the vote “unforgivable” and said the result “must be reversed.” The winner resigned within two days, and Germany’s Constitutional Court later ruled that Merkel’s demand had violated the AfD’s right to equal competition. “The voters of the AfD have waited for this for a very long time,” Voss said, and the party “overperformed a little bit, like 1 or 2%.” The party took 43.8% of the vote, more than double the 20.8% it won in 2021, while Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s CDU fell to 17.2%. The AfD also mobilized roughly 170,000 people who had not voted last time, its largest single source of new support... The work of Public is essential to debunking government and media propaganda.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump: If they don't make a deal, then I go back and I finish the job. But that's going to take them forever to rebuild. “I could take out most of their bridges in less than an hour. Less than an hour. But, you know, it takes them 10 years to build a bridge. Bridges take the longest, and power plants are second. I can knock out the power plants. Within one day, all of their power plants would be gone. You know, I think about 91 million people without power, without bridges, would have to live. And it's a very, very delicate balance. So I think we have a very strong position right now. They know I'm going to do that if they don't make a deal.”

Elon Musk warned them three years ago. Today the German government is finally admitting he was right Chancellor Friedrich Merz has officially labeled the decision to shut down Germany’s nuclear plants a 'huge mistake,' confessing that the move has crippled the economy and left the country with the most expensive energy transition in the world (What Elon warned 3 years ago:) I think it's very important that Germany not shut down its nuclear power stations? I think this is extremely crazy I want to be super clear. My opinion is Germany should not only not shut down the nuclear power plants, it should reopen the ones that shut down. Those are the fastest ones to restart. It's crazy to shut down nuclear power plants Especially if you're in a place where there are no natural disasters. If you're somewhere with severe earthquakes or tsunamis, it's more of a question mark But if there's not a massive natural disaster risk which Germany does not have then there's really no danger with the nuclear power plants

🚨 Rutgers professor and DSA member Eric Blanc kicks off a discussion with Jacobin's founding editor Bhaskar Sunkara and Labor Power Publications' Ramy Khalil by declaring that the Left “needs” a socialist presidential candidate in 2028. Blanc says that candidate could be AOC or “somebody else” and predicts that planting a clear socialist flag could help DSA grow to as many as 500,000 members, rooted in a stronger labor movement. Sunkara says AOC could fill the role, but only if she maintains “distance and confrontation” with the Democratic Party and presents herself as an outsider. Otherwise, he argues, the Left may be better off with a labor-aligned outsider who has a less developed socialist program but is not perceived as part of the political class. Khalil, identifying himself as a Marxist, says elections are not the primary way to change society. “Social movements and revolutions” are. Still, he argues that a presidential campaign could spread socialist ideas to millions. The question of who will carry the socialist banner in 2028, and whether AOC can still fill that role, is quickly becoming one of the most heated debates on the American left.

🇩🇪 INSIDE GERMANY LIVE THE LAST WEST SLAVS WITHOUT A STATE — BERLIN PAYS FOR THEIR COSTUMES, REFUSES THEM POWER, AND THEIR VILLAGES NOW SPLIT BETWEEN CONSERVATIVES AND THE HARD RIGHT Lusatia is a strip of eastern Germany on the Polish and Czech borders. About 60,000 people there still call themselves Sorbs. They are Slavs, like Poles and Czechs. They never got a country. They hold German passports. They have two languages, bilingual road signs, and a 1999 Saxon law that calls them a people. What the German state actually gives them is money for culture. Berlin, Saxony and Brandenburg put about €29 million a year into a foundation for schools, theatre and folk dress. The foundation’s own rules say: not politics. The parliament the Sorbs tried to build themselves — a mail-vote body of a few hundred people — went to court for an office and lost. Germany also refuses them the “indigenous” status Finland gives the Sámi. There is no Sorb party in the German parliament. A legal shortcut that would have let a Sorb list skip the 5% hurdle in one state was never used. The only official Sorb vote the Länder accept is a small appointed council. In 2019 that ballot drew 630 people. The villages vote like the rest of eastern Germany. For years Catholic Sorb parishes were a fortress for the Christian Democrats (CDU). Then the wall cracked: in Räckelwitz the AfD took 37.8%, in Wittichenau 39.1%. Next door, Crostwitz still gave the CDU 55.6% — the party’s best score in the whole state. Same language. Different church. Different ballot. The main Sorb organisation condemns the AfD and condemned Russia’s war. It does not command those communes. Brandenburg’s own 2024 report: only a few thousand people still really speak Lower Sorbian. Most who tick “Sorb” do not. UNESCO lists the language as dying. German comment sections still ask if the street sign is Polish. A people can be funded, photographed and finished at the same time. Is Lusatia a protected nation — or a museum that also holds elections?

Germany has just erased another symbol of its industrial strength. The demolition of the Gundremmingen cooling towers marks not only the end of a nuclear facility but the continued dismantling of Germany’s economic backbone. What began under the red-green coalition two decades ago, and was later accelerated by Angela Merkel’s panic-driven phaseout, is now being completed under Friedrich Merz. The same politicians who once promised “sustainability” are now presiding over energy dependence, deindustrialization, and the collapse of what was once Europe’s most competitive economy. Nuclear power was not Germany’s problem. It was its greatest asset: clean, efficient, and far cheaper than imported gas or unstable renewables. Yet ideological blindness turned success into guilt. The country that once built the best reactors in the world now imports nuclear energy from France and coal-based electricity from Poland. The political class calls this progress while businesses shut down and energy-intensive industries relocate abroad. Under the Merz administration, the absurdity has reached its final stage. While AI data centers, chip fabs, and future manufacturing all demand enormous amounts of reliable power, Germany is blowing up the very plants that could have supplied it. Instead of securing affordable electricity for innovation, Berlin is subsidizing wind turbines that stand still half the year and gas plants that rely on foreign regimes. This is not strategy; it is surrender disguised as virtue. The destruction of Gundremmingen is not about energy policy. It is about the decline of rational governance. Germany’s leaders are sacrificing economic sovereignty for ideology, while pretending it is moral necessity. The result is predictable: higher costs, weaker industry, and growing dependence on those who still value energy realism.

Germany has just erased another symbol of its industrial strength. The demolition of the Gundremmingen cooling towers marks not only the end of a nuclear facility but the continued dismantling of Germany’s economic backbone. What began under the red-green coalition two decades ago, and was later accelerated by Angela Merkel’s panic-driven phaseout, is now being completed under Friedrich Merz. The same politicians who once promised “sustainability” are now presiding over energy dependence, deindustrialization, and the collapse of what was once Europe’s most competitive economy. Nuclear power was not Germany’s problem. It was its greatest asset: clean, efficient, and far cheaper than imported gas or unstable renewables. Yet ideological blindness turned success into guilt. The country that once built the best reactors in the world now imports nuclear energy from France and coal-based electricity from Poland. The political class calls this progress while businesses shut down and energy-intensive industries relocate abroad. Under the Merz administration, the absurdity has reached its final stage. While AI data centers, chip fabs, and future manufacturing all demand enormous amounts of reliable power, Germany is blowing up the very plants that could have supplied it. Instead of securing affordable electricity for innovation, Berlin is subsidizing wind turbines that stand still half the year and gas plants that rely on foreign regimes. This is not strategy; it is surrender disguised as virtue. The destruction of Gundremmingen is not about energy policy. It is about the decline of rational governance. Germany’s leaders are sacrificing economic sovereignty for ideology, while pretending it is moral necessity. The result is predictable: higher costs, weaker industry, and growing dependence on those who still value energy realism. What fell today in Bavaria were not cooling towers, but the last remnants of Germany’s common sense.

The U.S. is almost certainly the cleanest shirt in the laundry because it produces enormous amounts of oil and gas while the economies most dependent on Hormuz are overwhelmingly in Asia. But cleanest does not mean clean. Even in an extreme scenario where a prolonged energy and financial shock contributed to something approaching Great Depression scale economic damage, the U.S. could still emerge relatively stronger if its principal competitors suffered even greater destruction to their energy security, industrial capacity, financial systems and ability to project power. American households and businesses would suffer enormously, but U.S. energy production, food security, geography, capital markets and control over dollar liquidity provide shock absorbers many competitors simply do not possess. And that is the uncomfortable geopolitical question I keep coming back to. Great powers do not necessarily optimize for avoiding every domestic recession if policymakers believe the alternative is losing their position in the international order. If Washington concluded that a severe but survivable contraction at home would permanently weaken China more, fracture competing resource networks and leave the U.S. controlling a larger relative share of global financial, technological and energy power afterward, would it tolerate extraordinary domestic economic pain to preserve American primacy? I am not saying that is demonstrably the strategy. But in a genuine great power struggle, the relevant calculation may eventually become relative survivability rather than absolute prosperity.

#WATCH | Air India Plane Crash | Noida, UP: Former Pilot Ehsan Khalid says, "... The Flight Data Recorder, Cockpit Voice Recorder and the ACARS data will tell exactly what may have happened. The visuals show that the aircraft went down while flying. Which means there was no mid-air explosion... The visuals show that the aircraft faced a loss of power... The loss of power can be due to engine malfunction, but it is very unlikely that both engines would lose power simultaneously... It is a very big engine, and it is rare that both engines lose power due to a bird hit in a one-minute duration... The pilot gave a mayday call. This means that the failure was seen in the cockpit... They went airborne while combating that failure... I don't understand why the landing gear was still down... The landing gear is raised as soon as the flight takes off... Since the landing gear was down, it is possible that a loss of engine was detected beforehand... There are many variables, and any speculation would be unjust... The biggest question is why the landing gear was not up. The flight was at a height of 600 feet... Whether it was one problem or multiple problems, no one can say anything yet..."

🇩🇪 Merz and Weidel erupt into a heated clash in the Bundestag AfD leader Alice Weidel repeatedly heckled Chancellor Friedrich Merz from her seat as he compared her anti-immigration agenda to ethnic cleansing and warned it could effectively paralyze Germany — with one in six skilled workers in the country being foreign-born. “Not a single nursing home would stay open, not a single hospital in Germany would be able to function, not a single restaurant,” Merz said. Weidel fired back: “Mr. Merz, Germans are not too lazy to work. They simply see that hard work doesn’t pay because an unfair tax system takes everything away from them.” Merz was speaking after his party’s bruising defeat to the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt, where the far-right party scored a sweeping victory on an anti-immigration platform.

Breaking: The AfD’s Remigration Anthem Ignites Germany! “We’re Deporting ALL of Them!” That’s the message blasting through Germany right now, as the AfD’s youth wing drops the most controversial remix yet. The song “Wir schieben sie alle ab!” [We’re Deporting Them All!] is echoing nationwide, angering the political establishment. The left is losing their minds, but the people? They’re cheering it on! The AfD is done with open borders, done with the unchecked wave of migrants that’s brought crime, chaos, and cultural collapse. This isn’t just a party song – it’s a battle cry. A call to defend Germany from the failed policies that have left neighborhoods unrecognizable and citizens fearful in their own country. While the left-wingers and their media buddies try to censor it, calling for investigations, lawsuits, and even criminal charges, the AfD stands firm. They’re not backing down. Tino Chrupalla, the AfD chairman, says it best: This is a celebration of victory, of reclaiming what’s been lost. Germany’s night has come. The AfD is leading the way with no apologies. They’re pushing back against the flood of migrants and the weak and corrupt leaders who allowed this mess. It’s time for REAL change. Time to put Germany first. Support the AfD – They’re the only party fighting to defend Germany from the chaos of mass immigration. Share this post if you believe in standing up for your country, and let the world know: We’re Deporting Them ALL! Read my article here:
