Alte Schule.
Der Autor Peter Truschner schreibt:

"Brillante Old-School-Textanalyse von Dirk Laabs, der Ulf Poschardt konsequent beim Wort nimmt, und ihm eine große, gedankliche Nähe zu rechten Attentätern wie Anders Breivik nachweist. A Must Read."

substack.comWir müssen über Ulf redenWenn ein Troll wie Anders Breivik klingt, hört der Spaß auf. „Der Große Austausch“ ist eine der tödlichsten Ideologien der letzten Jahrzehnte und darf niemals verharmlost werden.

For more than 50 years, the Endangered Species Act has been one of our most valuable environmental tools. The Trump administration has rolled back the last of its protections. In 2023, we released an entire package explaining why this is a disastrous idea.

Sources told the newspaper that Russia's military intelligence agency, the GRU, is largely responsible for planning these operations. Its agents are increasingly working with organized crime groups and using networks operating across several countries.

The Samara oil pumping station was struck for the fourth time this month, following attacks on October 2, 7 and 10. The latest assessment says 100% of its RVSPK-50000 tank farm and around 40% of the RVS-20000 tank farm are damaged or destroyed. #Russia

The Russian shadow fleet tanker „Aframax Rio“ which got struck by an Ukrainian USV 4 days ago near Sochi, Russia, has apparently ran aground. Judging from this footage this tanker won’t deliver any oil, diesel or any other petroleum product, ever.

@robertscotthorton.bsky.socialReposted by @fnordhausen.bsky.social

At this point, there is no ambiguity about what just happened: Trump has stabbed the Ukrainian nation in the back in exchange for a shipment of diesel that would be a roughly 17 hour supply for the US market. It shows how easily Trump is manipulated by Putin, Xi and other dangerous dictators.

All Trump’s overseas assets should be frozen. Hotels. Golf courses. Offshore accounts. Should not be permitted to enter the territories of the countries that are parties to ICC.
