Dr. Gunter Link wrote that Russia and the USA were negotiating a restart of Nord Stream. He described this as peace-oriented diplomacy and pragmatic politics. Trump and Putin were the winners while the Germans paid the bill, Link wrote, using a derogatory term for Germans. https://t.co/zDisLpPPff #NordStream #Diplomatie #Politik (translated)

BrennpunktUA wrote that the US midterm elections are in three weeks, and by then no Russian diesel will reach the USA. Trump knows this and doesn't really need the fuel but is looking for someone to blame for the high diesel prices, according to the author's assessment. Trump had already tried to blame Ukraine a few weeks ago. This attempt failed because the situation with Iran and in the SoH is 90 percent responsible for price development. Given the poor prospects for the Republicans, Trump is now once again trying to bring a deal with Putin into play. BrennpunktUA advised Ukraine not to attack Russian refineries in the coming three weeks and instead focus on other strategic targets. Otherwise, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could fall into Trump's trap. The author also asked where the diesel was suddenly supposed to come from and wrote that the fuel shortage in Russia is not over, and the country continues to import refined fuel for its own population. From his experience, nothing happens in the last four weeks before a major US election that is not related to the election. Trump will try to lower gas prices with PR actions in the coming three weeks and present this as his own success. If the Democrats get outraged over Trump's push for Russian diesel, they could also fall into the trap, BrennpunktUA wrote. Trump could then present himself as the one ensuring that Americans can afford their fuel fill-up. #Trump #USA #Wahlen (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that Donald Trump promised hundreds of thousands of tons of Russian diesel after a phone call with Vladimir Putin. The U.S. Treasury then allowed an exemption from the sanctions. Given the midterms in four weeks and a diesel price at record levels, Laska interpreted the move as a possible campaign maneuver. In mid-September, Trump publicly called on Volodymyr Zelensky to stop attacks on Russian refineries. According to a Reuters report led by Laska, at that time three of the six largest Russian diesel refineries were shut down or operating at limited capacity. She also pointed to a Russian export ban on diesel until the end of October and noted that Russia imported almost seven times as much diesel from Belarus from January to July as in the same period of the previous year. Deputy Prime Minister Novak is now talking about surpluses, she wrote; however, it is unclear whether the announced delivery quantities and deadlines will actually be met. Zelensky offered to stop Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries if Russia ends its attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Laska referred to this as a symmetrical de-escalation offer that is on the table for the Americans. She also cited rocket attacks on a residential building in Pryluky, glide bombs on city buses in Kramatorsk, and shelling of the energy supply in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Odesa. She warned that Russia would respond to the diesel with terrorism. The EU also criticized Laska: On September 22, Usmanov and Fridman were removed from the sanctions list under pressure from France, Slovakia, and Luxembourg. According to Laska, Zelensky pointed out that the attacks had since increased. At the same time, the EU extended the remaining personal sanctions from six months to three years. Latvia had long resisted the compromise and ultimately paved the way for it by abstaining. Laska compared Trump's diesel concession to Russia with the European compromise in favor of unanimity. In her view, the costs of such agreements are borne not by their authors but by the people in Pryluky, Kramatorsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Oleshkiv. #Trump #Putin #Dieselpreise (translated)

The author criticized that the loss of jobs, which in his view only existed thanks to subsidies, was being lamented. At the same time, it was hardly noted that those who would have to finance these subsidies would soon no longer exist due to what he considered to be a misguided energy policy. He described this as sad. #Arbeitsplätze #Energiepolitik #Subventionen (translated)

The author asked whether Nord Stream was on the verge of returning and wrote that the USA and Russia were negotiating while Berlin was opposing it. He claimed that in the end, Germany would possibly source Russian gas from the USA and would have to pay an American markup for it. https://t.co/rvyRJitIKd #Energiepolitik #NordStream #USADeutschland #US #RU #DE (translated)

Lars Winkelsdorf wrote that he had spoken a few months ago at a personal meeting with August Hanning about Hanning's financial situation. Hanning had brought up the topic himself. The current media coverage does not adequately represent the situation from Winkelsdorf's perspective, as it appears as an exposure of the motives behind Hanning's alleged actions. According to him, Hanning explained that he had entered the supervisory board of the Latvian PNB Bank through Anders Rasmussen. An oligarch then plundered the bank, stripping it of about 30 million euros. In a civil proceeding under Latvian law, Hanning was held liable; the judgment was later enforced in Germany, and a significant portion of his pension was garnished. Winkelsdorf described Hanning as an indirectly harmed party of criminal acts and wrote that his attempts to get out of the situation had failed. It was not about losses from risky investments but rather that Hanning had been "taken advantage of," he wrote. Rasmussen has not had to pay anything so far; Winkelsdorf added that Denmark may have better laws than Germany. https://t.co/KJQ6fW9Au0 #Finanzen #Medien #Justiz (translated)

Matthias Helferich MP wrote that he was in the "Red Salon" of the Volksbühne, where Correctiv journalists reported on the dangers of Nius. Towards the end, he felt that the event had turned into a therapy session for, in his view, whiny leftists. Helferich criticized that taxpayers still had to fund leftist culture and announced a more detailed report. #Volksbühne #Journalismus #Kultur (translated)

Simon Betschinger referred to a BILD report stating that Markus Söder wants to turn off the money tap for Berlin. The report warned that this would betray democratic values and labeled the Left as partly anti-Semitic and critical of the police. Betschinger demanded an immediate halt to the state financial equalization. He wrote that the Left primarily aims to take money away from hardworking and diligent people. He argued that it is unacceptable for citizens in Bavaria to pay for kindergarten places in their own federal state as well as for free childcare in Berlin. #Söder #Demokratie #Finanzausgleich (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the German automotive industry is everywhere in flames. He said that it would only be recognized after the sale of the last car, the dismissal of the last employee, the closure of the last factory, and the bankruptcy of the last supplier that green ideology does not create jobs, morality does not pay bills, and slogans of perseverance do not secure prosperity. #Automobilindustrie #Nachhaltigkeit #Wirtschaft (translated)

Björn Harms wrote that the reports about the revelations from the Glut magazine regarding the municipal company "Fördern & Wohnen" have expanded. Focus and the Hamburger Morgenpost have also reported on this. A managing director spent only five months in office and received 453,000 euros for it; according to Harms, the taxpayer bears the cost. https://t.co/qmEMMKGTCs #Hamburg #Skandal #Steuerzahler (translated)

KuchenTV wrote that YouTube has penalized and removed his critical video about Sakultendo with a strike. In it, he accused Sakultendo of repeated cyber grooming, attempts to bring minors into prostitution – including payments to partially 14-year-olds for sexual acts – as well as inappropriate behavior towards adult women. KuchenTV explained that he had made these allegations clear publicly. He asked how children would be protected if a critical examination of a man, whom he referred to as at least a hebephile, was prohibited on YouTube. #YouTube #Cybergrooming #Kinderschutz (translated)

GFrei.News referred to values of 30.5 percent for the AfD and 17.5 percent for the CDU and urged the CDU to abandon its "firewall." Otherwise, the author warned that the party could face further loss of significance. He described the CDU and SPD as career parties and claimed that advancement opportunities depended on conforming to party leadership and avoiding internal criticism. The author accused the CDU of using offices and positions to provide for its members. As evidence, he cited 25 lost CDU seats in Saxony-Anhalt, 12 in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and 68 nationwide, with the latter relating to current polls. According to his portrayal, state parliament representatives received between 10,000 and 11,000 euros monthly, federal parliament representatives up to 17,000 euros; additionally, there were up to 6,000 euros for office equipment and 1.24 million euros in party funds for every million voters. GFrei.News also criticized travel expenses, retirement provisions, and opportunities for employees and stock trades that, in his view, were available to the representatives. According to the author, the CDU supported Merkel and then Merz despite what he considered bad policies. He concluded by asking when a prominent CDU member would abandon the firewall. #CDU #AfD #Politik (translated)

HeiLender™ wrote that the obligation to use gender-neutral language would be abolished, although in his view there was no such obligation at all. In response, the contribution described two department heads from the areas of Culture (K) and Global Order (GO), who refused to approve documents without gender-appropriate language and would not forward the documents to state secretaries and the minister. The author proposed not to employ or pay the two any longer. Furthermore, he stated that activists in the foreign ministry could be particularly critical. #Gendern #Sprache #Diskussion (translated)

Christine called it a shame that politicians, despite their high salaries, had their visits to the hairdresser paid for by taxpayers. She referred to an exclusive report from Tichyseinblick, stating that 188,000 euros had been incurred for Lars Klingbeil's hair care at the expense of taxpayers. #Steuern #Politik #Transparenz (translated)
