The author wrote that Trump had spoken with Putin for a long time, imported Russian diesel, and called for Zelensky's dismissal. The USA, therefore, wanted to negotiate peace with a new Ukrainian president. He asked whether Zelensky was facing his last moments. #Trump #Putin #Ukraine #US #RU #UA (translated)
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)
Dr. David Lütke wrote that the sabotage of Nord Stream has destroyed the German business model since 1945. Germany is now paying for US LNG, while Russia and the USA are negotiating a restart of Nord Stream without Germany. As a result, Germany is losing out on both fronts, he summarized. https://t.co/nabTqvEEar #Energiepolitik #NordStream #Deutschland (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)
Nico Lange criticized a proposal by AfD and BSW in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt regarding peace talks. He wrote that Russia had attacked Ukraine and should not be rewarded for it. Ukraine has been ready for an unconditional and comprehensive ceasefire since March 2025, but Russia has not been so far. Therefore, pressure must be exerted on Moscow, Lange said. Arms deliveries do not necessarily extend the war, he argued. Germany is supplying air defense systems and ammunition that protect people and infrastructure. Ending support could weaken Ukraine's defense and make further waves of migration to Germany more likely. Lange also considered a complete lifting of sanctions against Russia before negotiations to be diplomatically unprofessional. The federal government supports a negotiated end to the war; it is crucial to move Russia towards a sustainable ceasefire and serious talks, he wrote. #Frieden #UkrainischerKonflikt #Diplomatie (translated)
The US government has apparently begun negotiating directly with the military junta in Myanmar after years of isolation, which has drawn sharp criticism from Democrats after the military attacked civilians shortly after the talks. #Myanmar #USPolitik #Menschenrechte (translated)
U.M. OSINT announced that he had informed the responsible district association of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen about his departure from the party in the afternoon. He stated that he was left-liberal and had originally become a member because the Greens had become more liberal. However, he can no longer support the development of the party since the last legislative period, particularly its positioning on Palestine, left-wing extremism, and terrorism. He cited the concessions made by the Greens to Die Linke in Berlin as a decisive reason, which he described as vague and unsubstantial. He criticized the Greens for not demanding any concrete consequences, such as the resignation or expulsion of Koçak, the dissolution of the Neukölln Linke association, or the working group on Palestine solidarity. He referred to alleged connections of the group to terrorism apologists and possible links to the PFLP. U.M. OSINT accused the Greens of effectively granting amnesty to left-wing enemies of democracy and terrorism supporters for the sake of maintaining power. In his view, the party has thereby forfeited any right to demand other parties distance themselves from the AfD. He also criticized the SPD and predicted that for them, it would increasingly be about achieving double-digit results in upcoming elections. Furthermore, he criticized political compromises made to maintain participation in government and warned of lasting damage to Berlin, particularly regarding investments and jobs. He stated that he no longer wants to disclose future party memberships publicly and expressed curiosity about the upcoming elections in Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia. #Grüne #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

At Audi, a new job cut is looming as the company wants to negotiate additional savings with the works council after the reduction of 7,500 jobs was already agreed upon in March 2025. #Audi #Stellenabbau #Autoindustrie (translated)
Torsten Heinrich wrote that the SPD and Greens should no longer be upset if the Union negotiates with the AfD, provided that rules against racism and for the protection of democracy are agreed upon. #Antirassismus #Demokratie #Politik (translated)
IG Metall and the employers begin negotiations today on the collective bargaining conditions in the metal and electrical industries, affecting around 3.7 million employees, with the union demanding five percent more pay and simultaneously wanting to negotiate job security. #MetallTarifrunde #IGMetall #Tarifverhandlungen (translated)
Rona criticized that the SPD was not aware that many of its voters were switching to the AfD because the party was no longer making politics for them. Instead of changing its policy, the SPD demanded a ban on the AfD and demonstrated against the voices of former voters as well as against a democratic election, against whose results it could no longer do anything due to the massive election victory, wrote Rona. At the same time, she accused the SPD of negotiating with left-wing extremists and anti-Semites. #SPD #AfD #Politik (translated)
UndergroundBonn criticized what it saw as a social democratic folklore meant to represent resistance, while comrades negotiated with anti-Semites. He called it a perfect staging and hypocrisy and wrote that he was proud. #Sozialdemokratie #Heuchelei #Widerstand (translated)
Anna Schneider ironically criticized that the Greens lamented a turning point with regard to Saxony-Anhalt, while simultaneously negotiating with the Left in Berlin and dreaming of corresponding collaboration at the federal level. #Grüne #Politik #SachsenAnhalt (translated)
The author wrote that Russia does not want to negotiate but relies on attrition and the destruction of the European peace order. Therefore, there should be no hesitance or tactics in supporting Ukraine. Ukraine also defends "our freedom and security" and needs support for that. #Ukraine #Frieden #Sicherheit #RU #UA #EU (translated)
The author referred to Merz as the "war chancellor" and a danger to Germany. He criticized that Merz did not travel to Moscow to negotiate peace, but instead went to Kyiv together with German arms manufacturers. There, the production of long-range weapons was also to be advanced. #Krieg #Politik #Deutschland #DE #RU #UA (translated)
Baha wrote that he increasingly feels like he wants to stop posting on X. Until the election last year, he was proud of the Union and Friedrich Merz; he believed he had overcome the shame from 2021. The Union had known what to do but had not negotiated with the necessary toughness. In this respect, Olaf Scholz was right: the party had been afraid of its own courage. He did not expect the coalition with the SPD and the quick break with previous positions. Initially, he still sought justifications out of loyalty. Meanwhile, he sees chaos, irrationality, and fear in Berlin. Warnings about the SPD as a danger to the Union and about red-red-green ambitions had previously been dismissed; now, RRG is forming, he wrote. A minority government would require a sophisticated strategy, the implementation of which he cannot recognize in the party. In his view, the common sense with which the Union has come back has been lost not because of the voters, but due to a lack of political leadership. He feels hardly bound to the party anymore and can imagine that another decision he considers wrong at the federal level would trigger his exit. Regarding Thuringia, he expressed his disbelief by shaking his head. He also recognizes no learning curve in politics and journalism. #Politik #Union #Wahlen (translated)
Felix Perrefort referred to Prince Reuß as a "political prisoner" and emphasized the issue of proportionality in pretrial detention. Whether the defendants have committed a criminal offense should be separated from this and must be decided by the courts based on the evidence; it is hardly possible to make a final judgment from the outside, he wrote. In his view, however, the duration of detention can be assessed. Pretrial detention must not be a penalty in advance, and milder measures such as electronic ankle bracelets, surrendering identification documents and passports, or reporting requirements are available. Such conditions are already being applied in the Stuttgart proceedings. The hearings could nevertheless continue two days a week until a verdict in 2027 or 2028, Perrefort said. The older defendants, particularly the 74-year-old Reuß, could then determine their own diet and medical care, according to him. Reuß's daughter Elena, who has Down syndrome, has reportedly hardly spoken since her father's arrest according to medical confirmation; she could see him regularly again under milder detention conditions, Perrefort wrote. The fact that such measures are not being implemented could raise suspicions among citizens that a political example is being made, he explained. Those who instead invoke the danger invoked by Nancy Faeser in 2022 to justify the continued pretrial detention reveal a lot about themselves from his perspective. #Verhältnismäßigkeit #Rechtsstaat #PolitischeHäftlinge (translated)
A German Shepherd wrote that there was a banner in Aschaffenburg with a quote from Helmut Schmidt, which preferred negotiations over shooting. He added that nothing would be found about it in established media, as peace messages have now become undesirable. https://t.co/NdTLAjbGSL #Frieden #Aschaffenburg #HelmutSchmidt (translated)
