David Rangl, in an ironically toned post, claimed that the intervention of Russian data centers caused chaos in the Czech pro-Russian scene. According to him, disinformation websites and trolls stopped receiving instructions, so some people had to form their own opinions. Rangl described that the SPD convened a crisis staff, which, according to him, after several hours came up with several contradictory explanations: either the attack did not occur, Russia repelled it, or it could have been Brussels, NATO, migrants, and Petr Fiala to blame. He also mentioned a demand for the government's resignation without a clearly stated reason. According to him, on the alternative scene, one influencer condemned Russian aggression, another published photos of burning servers as evidence of Russian victory, and another began promoting Russia's accession to NATO. Jindřich Rajchl, according to Rangl, demanded a parliamentary investigative committee due to the decline in followers. The post further described the extinguished premises of the Stačilo! movement, non-functional stamp machines at the Václav Klaus Institute, and the vaccination of the Svatopluk association against rabies at a veterinary station. The situation was eventually calmed by a chain email that blamed events on Soros, Ukrainian pensioners, and a secret NATO lab in Uzhhorod. Rangl concluded that Russian servers were gradually returning to operation, while the damages to the Czech "patriotic scene" could be irreversible, as some people realized during the outage that they could think independently. #ČeskáRepublika #dezinformace #vlastenectví (translated)

I believe he should hold elections; moreover, he could have solved this issue many times already," said D. Trump to reporters. #Zelenskis #Trumpas #Ukraina (translated)
I can only speak for myself and perhaps for my close Republican friends. In this matter, we categorically disagree with the president. I believe it is a serious mistake. It appears to be a weakness: the president is making concessions to (Vladimir) Putin, who is a dictator and a war criminal. We must support Ukraine – a democracy that has been invaded and whose cities are being bombed. Meanwhile, his ally Don Bacon stated that U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to buy Russian diesel "seems like weakness." #rusiškaNafta #JAVKongresas #sankcijos (translated)
Emanuel Boeminghaus criticized that the CDU is dealing with the statements of a Civey poll expert regarding the mood in the country, a speech by 86-year-old former Federal President Joachim Gauck, and a renewed debate about the fire wall at their retreat meeting. Meanwhile, the promise of prosperity in the country is increasingly being called into question, he wrote. Boeminghaus urged the party to focus more on the economy, growth, and prosperity. Then it might have to deal less with polling figures, he argued. Instead, the CDU continues to go in circles politically and is beyond help. Even "Grandpa Kurt" might soon lose the desire to vote for them, he wrote. https://t.co/Eq6P5aMAij #CDU #Wirtschaft #Wohlstand (translated)
