100 миллионов евро из нового налога на сахар направляются на медицинскую помощь, не покрываемую страховкой, для (нелегальных) мигрантов ..
BREAKING NIUS: Als Oppositionsführer sagte Merz, die Leute würden "wahnsinnig" werden, wenn sie sehen, dass 300.000 abgelehnte Asylbewerber sich in Deutschland "die Zähne machen lassen", also versicherungsfremde Leistungen in Anspruch nehmen. Nun kommt raus, wofür die Zuckersteuer WIRKLICH verwendet wird: 100 Millionen Euro aus der neuen Zuckersteuer fließen in die versicherungsfremde medizinische Versorgung von (illegalen) Migranten im Bürgergeld. Bedeutet: Mit jedem Kasten Cola zahlen wir in Zukunft 50 Cent für genau das, was Merz eigentlich komplett abschaffen wollte, für medizinische Versorgung von abgelehnten Asylbewerbern im Bürgergeld.

🇵🇱 „Nie wejdziemy do strefy euro, dopóki będę prezesem. Nie wejdziemy do strefy euro ani nawet nie będziemy kreślić takich planów - z czysto ekonomicznego punktu widzenia oznaczałoby dla Polski radykalne spowolnienie wzrostu gospodarczego. Spowolnienie. Ale spowolnienie wzrostu gospodarczego, zahamowanie procesu konwergencji, wieloletnią stagnację, obserwacja Niemiec jest tu świetnym przykładem ostatnich lat. […] Ja do przyjęcia euro w Polsce nie dopuszczę, bo to przecież polską walutą zgodnie z Konstytucją RP, zapewniającą nam jak do tej pory dobry rozwój, szybki rozwój jest polski złoty”.

German company KNDS Deutschland is promoting its Boxer RCT30 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, known as the Schakal in Germany, as suited to countering drones.
The 8×8 vehicle pairs the Boxer chassis with the unmanned RCT30 turret from the Puma, carrying a 30 mm automatic cannon that can fire programmable airburst rounds. KNDS said it is “ideally suited for countering state-of-the-art threats, such as drones,” though it did not detail new counter-drone equipment or recent tests.
Germany and the Netherlands have ordered large numbers through ARTEC. Their combined orders for the Schakal have grown to roughly 185 for Germany and 106 for the Netherlands. According to KNDS, the vehicle can engage moving targets on the move and provide counter-drone and anti-aircraft capabilities. It also carries the MELLS anti-tank missile system.
The Boxer has a maximum speed of more than 100 kilometres per hour (62 miles per hour). The counter-drone claims remain company statements.

Украине нужны ракеты Aster 30 для защиты своих городов, и только Италия и Франция могут их поставить. Следующий пакет помощи от Италии, по сообщениям включающий ракеты, готов, но Рим, похоже, удерживает его до окончания промежуточных выборов в США.
Ukraine needs Aster 30 missiles to protect its cities, and only Italy and France can supply them. Italy’s next aid package, reportedly including the missiles, is ready, but Rome appears to be holding it until after the U.S. midterms.

🇪🇪 NEW: ESTONIA STRENGTHENS ITS DEFENCES WITH 600 BUNKERS AND NEW COUNTER-DRONE CAPABILITIES.
Two significant developments in Estonia's defence preparations this week:
Baltic Defence Line:
• Estonia's Supreme Court has cleared the way for the procurement of 600 concrete bunkers along its eastern border.
• Installation is targeted for completion by the end of 2027.
• A contract could be signed as early as March 2027.
Counter-drone capabilities:
• Parliament advances legislation to expand electronic jamming powers.
• Currently, jamming authority is largely tied to specific locations or facilities.
•The proposal would allow authorised responders to counter threats wherever they emerge, including near critical infrastructure.
• Estonia's Defence League would gain additional jamming powers.
Estonia is moving to strengthen both its physical border defences and its ability to respond to emerging drone threats.

TERRIBLE BOMBA SOBRE LA ALTERACIÓN DEL ESCRUTINIO ENTRE LULA Y FLÁVIO BOLSONARO EN BRASIL 🇧🇷💣
Martín De Luca, abogado en EE.UU: "A las 17.00 iba a empezar el conteo de votos, pero a las 17.01 un JUEZ QUE NO TENÍA COMPETENCIA NI JURISPRUDENCIA, firma una orden para que se extienda la votación dos horas más, Y QUE SE SUSPENDA LA TRANSMISIÓN DE DATOS Y CONTEO DE VOTOS que ya había empezado.
En el voto electrónico, el punto más vulnerable del conteo de votos es este momento cuando se empiezan A TRANSMITIR LOS DATOS ELECTRÓNICOS desde todas las urnas AL TRIBUNAL ELECTORAL.
Esas dos horas SON UNA CAJA NEGRA, NADIE SABE LO QUE PASÓ. Lo que si sabemos es que el equipo de Lula se estaba preparando para una derrota, y después de eso APARECE CON 4.400.000 DE VOTOS arriba de Flávio Bolsonaro, en contra de todas LAS EXPECTATIVAS DE GENTE QUE APOSTÓ MILLONES DE DÓLARES, porque era obvio que ganaba Flávio.
La peor parte es que el juez que autorizó esto, ES EL EX-ABOGADO DE LULA que lo defendió en los casos de corrupción y que fue EL ABOGADO DE LA CAMPAÑA DEL 2022, ahora hecho juez..." @edufeiok @emd_worldwide

Francja na skraju bankructwa, Niemcy też. Od lat życie na kredyt i „hulaj dusza, piekła nie ma”. A teraz planują, żeby pozostałe kraje zrzuciły się na ich długi. Plan budżetowy Unii imponujący, ale znaczna część pieniędzy ma trafić na ratowanie gospodarek Niemiec i Francji, na płacenie za ich błędy. A my wszyscy mamy się na to zrzucić. Szef Rady Europejskiej Costa wręcz zmusza kraje UE do zatwierdzenia nowych podatków. To droga do katastrofy.

Wenn Heuchelei einen Namen hätte, stünde er auf dem Briefkopf der IG Metall.
Frau Benner tobt, weil Audi-Chef Döllner in Georgia mit Donald Trump ein US-Werk für vier Milliarden Dollar verkündet.
4.500 neue Jobs, um künftig 200.000 Verbrenner-SUVs pro Jahr zu bauen.
Benner nennt den Auftritt „peinlich und unwürdig“ und „höchst fragwürdig“.
Was wirklich peinlich ist:
Die IG Metall hat diesen Karren selbst an die Wand gefahren.
2019 kuschelte man mit Greta Thunberg und forderte mit NGOs das Ende des Verbrenners.
Man wollte klimabewegten Lehrerkindern gefallen und verriet eiskalt die Interessen der eigenen Facharbeiter am Altar grüner Planwirtschaft.
Jetzt, wo das politisch erzwungene Elektro-Märchen platzt und unsere Autoindustrie ums nackte Überleben kämpft, flüchtet Audi schlichtweg in die USA.
Dorthin, wo man deutsche Ingenieurskunst noch schätzt und wo Verbrenner dem Unternehmen das Geld einbringen, das in Europa fehlt.
Der absolute Gipfel:
Benner sitzt als Vize-Aufsichtsratschefin des VW-Konzerns selbst an den Hebeln der Macht.
Sie weiß ganz genau, dass dieser Schritt ökonomische Notwehr ist, druckst im Fernsehen aber herum, um die eigene Klientel hinters Licht zu führen.
Wer die Deindustrialisierung jahrelang ideologisch mitbestellt, darf sich nicht beschweren, wenn die Industrie am Ende tatsächlich flüchtet.

COP Keating
On October 3, 2009, around 300 Taliban fighters launched a massive assault on Combat Outpost Keating, a remote U.S. military base in Afghanistan.
Surrounded by towering mountains, approximately 53 American soldiers fought desperately to defend the outpost against overwhelming odds.
After hours of intense fighting, the attack was repelled. Eight American soldiers were killed and 22 wounded.
The battle became known as the **Battle of Kamdesh**, one of the fiercest engagements of the Afghanistan War.

This is eye-opening. Europe’s share of global tech R&D has collapsed from 23% in 2005 to just 8% today, while the US has climbed to 62% and China has risen from near zero to 15%. South Korea now outspends Germany, France, the UK, and Italy combined in tech R&D. Yep, you read that right.
This is the predictable result of policy choices that systematically favor control and redistribution over growth. Layered regulation, data rules, AI restrictions, labor rigidities, and precautionary frameworks, raises the cost and slows the pace of turning ideas into products, forcing companies to spend scarce resources on compliance rather than experimentation. High taxation and expansive redistributive systems extract capital that would otherwise fund private R&D and risk-taking, while shrinking the after-tax reward for building something new and scaling it. The broader left-leaning mindset that prioritizes equality of outcome over dynamism treats entrepreneurial success as something to be managed, taxed, or shared rather than unleashed and rewarded.
Places that protect the returns to innovation and keep barriers low continue to pull ahead, attracting talent and capital that Europe increasingly loses. Europe’s relative decline is the cumulative outcome of treating dynamism as a problem to be regulated rather than the engine of prosperity. Without a shift toward lighter rules, lower burdens on enterprise, and greater tolerance for unequal outcomes from unequal effort, the gap will keep widening, and Europe will become an open-air museum for wealthy Americans and Asians.

🇵🇱🇺🇸 POLAND WINS EUROPE'S PATRIOT MISSILE MAINTENANCE HUB
Poland has beaten Germany, the Netherlands and Norway to host a major new European servicing facility for Lockheed Martin's PAC-3 Patriot interceptors.
Key details:
• Investment: ~PLN 1 billion ($253 million).
• Expected to become operational in roughly 12–18 months.
• It will be the first facility of its kind outside the US.
• Will handle repairs, refurbishment and re-certification of PAC-3 interceptors.
Why does this matter?
European Patriot operators currently have to send interceptors across the Atlantic for servicing.
According to Polish defence outlet Defence24, the new facility could potentially reduce maintenance turnaround times from many months to just weeks.
With interceptor stocks under enormous pressure from the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, this could significantly improve NATO's air-defence readiness.
Poland also hopes the facility could eventually pave the way for domestic PAC-3 MSE production.
A major victory for Poland's defence industry - and an important step towards a more resilient European air-defence supply chain.

🚨 WOW! President Trump personally APPROVED granting Flavio Bolsonaro entry into the United States before Brazil's regime could seize his passport, per CNN, citing a Trump adviser
And now we know MARCO RUBIO is granting him, and his family, visas
Trump and Marco knew ALL ALONG this is likely what Lula's flunkies would do!
As soon as Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes gave Bolsonaro 24 hours to surrender his passports on Monday, Trump officials stepped in and made clear to Bolsonaro that America would welcome him in 🙏🏻
"The State Department will issue visas to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family and allow them entry into the United States."
Trump just prevented a severe political persecution. HE KNOWS HOW IT FEELS.
