Gr@ntlɘr wrote that three women came together to 27 percent and thereby essentially declared almost half of the electorate to be intellectually inferior, while pretending to want to save democracy. In his opinion, democracy had already responded to the left-wing women and apparently did not want to subordinate itself to them. https://t.co/uXOuaTI38D #Demokratie #Frauen #Politik (translated)

Anna wrote that Donald Trump announced on Truth Social the delivery of 4.8 million tons of Russian diesel. The agreement was made during a phone call with Vladimir Putin, whose army is bombing Kyiv. The price of diesel is over $6, also due to Trump's Iran war, Anna wrote. This became a problem for him before the midterms. In September, Trump blamed Volodymyr Zelenskyy for attacking Russian refineries; now he is catering to Putin, according to her account. Russia imposed its diesel export ban because of exactly these attacks. Putin said eight days earlier that the diesel could not be sold abroad due to sanctions. Trump did not mention the sanctions in his announcement; whether the Kremlin confirms the stated amounts is unclear, Anna wrote. She contrasted this with the original justification for the Iran war: saving Iranians and making the world safer. Meanwhile, nobody talks about the Iranians anymore, while North Korea flatters Trump and Russia supplies him. Anna asked what a president fights for who flatters Kim Jong Un, bombs Iran, demands the largest island from Denmark, and orders diesel from Putin. In her assessment, the USA is currently dancing at all weddings at the same time. Anna cited AP and The Hill from October 9 and CNN from September 15 as sources. #Trump #Putin #Dieselpreise (translated)

The author agreed with a previous statement and wrote that there was no helping those who considered the visit of a former chancellor to a Russian supermarket on the birthday of a mass murderer to be a coincidence. He referred to the former chancellor derogatorily. #Politik #Deutschland #Geschichte (translated)

Nadja Natalie Isaksen wrote that she had been in court the day before to see Nkumba Ludovic Tshiembe and hear his explanation. She wanted to assess his body language herself and get a sense of whether he regretted it, as she believed it could not be properly evaluated through the media coverage. She described it as unbearable to see Christian Johan Zedig's family in court and his wife crying. According to Isaksen, the wife said the case had destroyed everything. She wrote that the pain of Christian's family was hard to understand solely through media coverage, and that lawmakers should therefore attend court to see the consequences of the policies adopted by the Parliament. Isaksen called the one-year sentence unfair. She wrote that Tshiembe, in her impression, appeared affected, often looking down at the table or covering his face with his hands, and had difficulty looking at Zedig's wife. She recounted that Tshiembe had said that he felt terrible, but added that it could not bring Christian back. She believed that Tshiembe should be stripped of his Danish citizenship and permanently expelled. She referred to the fact that he had been convicted of aggravated assault and rape in 2014 and attempted murder in 2017, and wrote that the two girls would otherwise have had their father today. #Retten #Uretfærdighed #Justits (translated)

Simon Betschinger referred to a Handelsblatt headline that suggested all of Europe should fear France's interest rate curve. He wrote that leftist politicians had "driven Europe into a wall" over the past 20 years and a generation of politicians had stopped investing in the future. Instead, they had accumulated debt to win voters with promises of redistribution. Only a return to a market economy could save Europe, Betschinger wrote. #Europa #Zinskurve #Marktwirtschaft (translated)

Erika Suttner-Kamp wrote that although she has reservations about the Left, she believes Merz has saved it from her perspective. It is contradictory to portray the party as the downfall of the West now. She described the CDU as an dishonorable and shameless political supporter. #Politik #CDU #Merz (translated)

This was a colossal failure of the State of Israel, which was founded to defend the Jews in our country. Yet in those minutes, young men and women from all over Israel came to fight, to protect, and to save lives. A generation of heroes emerged, and we owe it to them to rebuild our country stronger and prove ourselves worthy of the sacrifice. Opposition politician Naftali Bennett emphasized in Re'im the failure of the state, but praised the will to survive of the people: "This was a colossal failure of the State of Israel, which was founded to defend the Jews in our country. Yet in those minutes, young men and women from all over Israel came to fight, to protect, and to save lives. A generation of heroes emerged, and we owe it to them to rebuild our country stronger and prove ourselves worthy of the sacrifice." #HamasÜberfall #Gedenken #Israel (translated)

Ahmad Mansour described that a six-year-old girl asked in the car on October 7, 2023: "Are you Israelis?" She had just lost both parents, heard gunshots around her, and tried to protect her little sister while police officers fought for her rescue. #Israel #Terror #Menschlichkeit (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the regulation on the ban of combustion engines should be relaxed and that Merz and Macron had made an agreement accordingly. This comes at least five years too late and will no longer save the car manufacturers, he explained. https://t.co/iUQfAJWVNd #Verbrenner #Autoindustrie #Klimaschutz (translated)

The author wrote that the ECB must decide whether to contain inflation before it escalates or to save France from final ruin, which he believes would simultaneously mean the end of the euro. At the same time, he rhetorically asked what the central bank would choose. https://t.co/JsfKHtnSBX #EZB #Inflation #Euro #FR #DE (translated)

Reza Pahlavi Communications published a statement that had reportedly been signed by 133 Iranian political prisoners and activists. In it, the signatories thanked the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom for awarding the Freedom Prize 2026 to the Iranian people and for commissioning Prince Reza Pahlavi to accept it. The signatories wrote that during the protests on January 8 and 9, 2026, people had demanded an end to the Islamic Republic and more freedom. Published reports and estimates indicated tens of thousands of deaths and thousands of arrests. They stated that executions continued and death sentences were imposed in part based on confessions coerced under torture and in unfair trials. The authors referred to Reza Pahlavi as their political representative and supported him in leading a transition to a free, democratic Iran. They wrote that the Iranian people should decide on the future form of government in a free vote. They urged governments and international institutions to prevent executions, release political prisoners, and grant independent observers access to prisons. Additionally, they called for an end to business with the Islamic Republic, for a transparent use of frozen Iranian assets to support the freedom movement, and for better access to secure internet, including through Starlink. The letter was dated October 2026. #Iran #Freiheit #Menschenrechte (translated)

Max Otte described the awarding of the Westphalian Peace Prize to NATO in Münster as "Orwell Day." Upset citizens had booed Mark Rutte, Friedrich Merz, and Hendrik Wüst; according to his assessment, it would be hardly seen on television. Otte also wrote that only a war could still save Merz and referred to Orwell's inversion of war and peace. #Münster #NATO #Frieden (translated)

The author referred to the first official statement from Ferat Koçak after the clan scandal as a pitiful attempt to save his Bundestag mandate, and wrote that it would not please the Remmo family. Koçak had reportedly showered and dressed neatly to appear serious, while avoiding a Pala cloth, a Migrantifa outfit, and expressions like "Wallah" and "Brother." Additionally, the author pointed to Koçak's wording "I kiss your hearts." #Politik #Deutschland #ClanSkandal (translated)
