🇩🇪 Current implosion of German industry is comparable with Great Financial Crisis and Covid lockdown, but this time outside of a global recession. It is all self-inflicted, this is what happens when blind left green ideology replaces common sense.

🇨🇩🇷🇼🇺🇸 What Congo’s President Thinks of Rwanda: A ‘Mania to Be the Apex Predator’
“The Trump administration has already shown interest in a deal that could ensure a stream of strategic minerals directly from Congo, Mr. Tshisekedi said. He also touted investments in major Congolese projects including a mega dam that, if completed, would be the world’s largest hydroelectric plant.”
As vast swaths of Congolese territory are seized by a Rwandan-backed armed group, Congo’s president looks to make a minerals deal with the United States.

🇯🇵 Japan being 98% Japanese and ~0% "Global South" (read: black/MENA/subcontinental/Latin American) matters a lot more than their zoning and environmental laws (and is one of the two big reasons for their orderly public sphere). The hour is late, time to stop pretending.

🇺🇸📱🇲🇽Trump Says Cook Shifting Apple Manufacturing From Mexico to US
President Donald Trump told a gathering of governors that Apple Inc. (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook promised him that the company’s manufacturing would shift from Mexico to the US during a meeting at the White House this week.
Cook “stopped two plants in Mexico” and will build products in the US instead, Trump said on Friday. He spoke the day after he and the Apple leader — who Trump said also promised hundreds of millions of dollars in US investment — met in Washington.

🇩🇪 German election results in 2021 vs. 2025
The most noticeable trend in Western politics right now is the collapse of the centre-left
To put this in context, the last time the SPD didn't come out of an election as one of Germany's two biggest parties was 1887!
Quite an achievement by AfD

🇺🇸🇲🇽 US Border Czar: "We're Going To Wipe Drug Cartels Off The Face Of Earth"
US Border Czar Tom Homan told Fox News' Jesse Watters that President Donald Trump intends to dismantle the command and control centers of Mexican drug cartels, vowing to "put them out of business" and "wipe them off the face of the Earth." These are strong words against cartels that have fueled a drug overdose crisis responsible for the deaths of 100,000 Americans each year.
Watters asked Homan how cartels have adapted in the last 30 days since Trump's 'America First' border policies of placing the military by the thousands on the southern border...
Homan responded: "Look, they're going maritime. We knew they would. That's why Coast Guard patrols increased by three times. So we're going to shut them down maritime too."

🇺🇸 Why Elbridge Colby Matters
Elbridge Colby is Donald Trump’s nominee to serve as under secretary of defense for policy, but Sen. Tom Cotton is thinking about derailing his nomination.
What makes Colby, who served faithfully in the first Trump administration as deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy and force development, more objectionable to Cotton than Tulsi Gabbard or Robert F. Kennedy were?
The answer, Cotton has indicated, is that he believes Colby is insufficiently fearful of Iran’s nuclear program.
Beyond that article, Colby has called for Washington to prioritize checking the power of Communist China over further commitments to the Middle East.
Elbridge Colby is a threat to the neoconservatives’ place in the middle layer of politics. He’s the anti-Kristol—a Harvard-educated, right-leaning intellectual, at home in a think tank or appointed government position, with a vision of what Republican foreign policy should be that is sharply at odds with the neoconservatives’.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 Trump-Putin summit preparations are underway, Russia says
Preparations are underway for a face-to-face meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia’s deputy foreign minister said Saturday. It marked a clear departure from Western efforts to isolate Moscow over its war in Ukraine.
Speaking to Russian state media, Sergei Ryabkov said a possible Putin-Trump summit could involve broad talks on global issues, not just the war in Ukraine.
“The question is about starting to move toward normalizing relations between our countries, finding ways to resolve the most acute and potentially very, very dangerous situations, of which there are many, Ukraine among them,” he said.
But he said efforts to organize such a meeting are at an early stage, and that making it happen will require “the most intensive preparatory work.”
Ryabkov added that U.S. and Russian envoys could meet within the next two weeks to pave the way for further talks among senior officials.
