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)

Gr@ntlɘr called for the abolition of the CO₂ tax, the renunciation of new taxes, lower energy prices, and a tightening of asylum policy. Referring to BILD, he wrote that the prime ministers of the 17.5 percent CDU under Boris Rhein wanted to increase the pressure on Merz.

Frédéric Schwilden wrote that he is stuck in an ICE train about 200 meters before the Erlangen station. According to an announcement, a woman is walking on the tracks with headphones; the police have not removed her from the tracks for half an hour. Now a second patrol car is coming. Schwilden suggested fencing off high-speed train tracks like in Japan. There has not been a death since 1964 there, and the trains run on time, he wrote. #Erlangen #Bahn #Sicherheit (translated)

Peter Borbe asked what value a federal president has, who in his opinion desecrates festive occasions with recurring, politically biased statements and offends large parts of the opposition. Steinmeier disparages the country, Borbe wrote, by portraying millions of people as enemies of democracy simply because they no longer wanted to vote for his party and its allies. #Bundespräsident #Demokratie #Politik (translated)

Alexander Teske wrote that his bicycle was stolen on that day. It was the fifth bicycle theft his family had experienced in two and a half years. After the previous theft, the household insurance had terminated the contract. The bike had been secured with two high-quality locks of different brands to a grid. Teske explained that he had to lock it up on the street because there was no bike storage and parking it inside the house was prohibited. Since he lived in the attic, it was not practical for him to carry the bike up and down every time. There were hardly any secure bike parking spaces available; those that existed were fully booked. Teske questioned the sense of expanding bike paths and promoting environmentally friendly and healthy cycling if bicycles were consistently being stolen. Good bikes had become more expensive and were no longer available for under 1,000 euros, he wrote. In 2024, 11,428 bicycles were reported stolen in Hamburg, of which 440 were recovered. Not all cases were reported, he added. Teske also wrote that the fundamental need for security was being permanently violated, and this could have consequences at some point. #Fahrradklau #Sicherheit #Umweltschutz (translated)

It is of course fascinating that we, as young people in the 80s and 90s, were so fully positioned against war. Who hasn’t had to read “All Quiet on the Western Front” over and over, was encouraged by teachers to participate in demonstrations against armament, and wondered about the few who joined the Bundeswehr voluntarily? And today you turn on the television, and they tell us almost euphorically and in a loop how ports are being made war-capable and investments in armaments are being made, while afterwards documentaries about the stimulating everyday life of soldiers as young people are presented, as if that has always been the case and overall is also a positive development. #Krieg #Frieden #Gesellschaft (translated)

Wenn man Wadephuls 20-Minuten-Auftritt bei Lawrow sieht, möchte man weinen. Wo früher Schwergewichte wie Genscher mit echtem taktischem Geschick verhandelt haben, wird heute nur noch die vorgefertigte Berliner Folie runtergerattert. Diplomatie im Sinkflug. 🛬📄 #Genscher https://t.co/LwWawQRECL #Diplomatie #Politik #Wadephul

Österreich 🇦🇹 hat den Sprit fast 50 Cent billiger als Deutschland! 🇩🇪 Jetzt drückt der Kanzler Stocker von Merz-Schwesterpartei ÖVP nochmal 12 Cent runter, um die Bürger zu entlasten. Bei uns ein großes Theater um 17 Cent „historische Entlastung“. Merz und Klingbeil im Verbund mit vielen Medien. ⛽ Die CO2-Abgabe muss WEG, genau wie eine Regierung, die die eigene Bevölkerung abkassiert. #Österreich #Spritpreise #CO2Abgabe
