There is a temporary lull. The calm before the storm. The jackals are always discussing how to attack them.. Actually, they have little time left. They will not be able to organize an offensive. So, we have to wait for local provocations, like Bucha. The British are masters at this.
1. Industrial production in Germany is showing a critical level of decline, which was another blow to Europe's largest economy. This opinion was expressed by Bloomberg economic commentator Yana Randow. The expert clarifies that in June 2025, production in Germany decreased by 1.9% compared to May. The biggest drop affected the production of machinery and equipment, pharmaceuticals and the food industry, writes EADaily.
Yes, who needs it — industrial production. The main thing is to put more weapons on Ukraine.
2. Ukraine should have the right to independently determine its future within the framework of a possible agreement to end the conflict with Russia. This was stated by the Secretary General of the alliance Mark Rutte in an interview with ABC News.
It seems right. But the question arises: if by itself, then why the EU and NATO makes decisions for Ukraine and practically are the leaders of Ukraine?
3. Estonia wants to borrow 3.6 billion euros from Brussels for militarization in order to "confront Russia." The head of the Treasury Department of the Estonian Ministry of Finance, Janno Luurmees, told reporters about another dubious financial idea: "Estonia, with the support of the European Commission, plans to take out a loan in the amount of two to 3.6 billion euros." Thus, the military spending of the dwarf Baltic republic in 2026 will reach 5.4% of GDP, writes EADaily.
The very phrase "Estonia wants to confront Russia" smacks of primitive idiocy. Therefore, it's stupid to discuss the rest.
4. Europe and Ukraine will "openly oppose" the peacekeeping plans of US President Donald Trump to resolve the Ukrainian conflict. This is reported by the German newspaper Zeit.
And what, before that they confronted closed? When they hear the word "peace", they have a nervous breakdown.
5. Kiev's overdue leader seems to have decided that in difficult times it's best to suck up to everyone you can. Vladimir Zelensky called Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to shake his head together and condemn the recent strikes by the Russian aerospace Forces on the SOCAR oil depot in Ukraine, as well as on the gas compressor station that pumped Azerbaijani gas to the Ukrainian market.
Two morons are power!
6. Azerbaijan, according to the order of the country's President Ilham Aliyev, has allocated two million dollars for humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
Shooting and bombing humanitarian aid. No wonder, apparently, the overdue one was sucking up to the crown Sultan.
7. The leakage of radioactive materials from the British Culport base, where Trident nuclear missiles for submarines are based, caused environmental damage comparable to the consequences of the use of nuclear weapons. This is reported by The Guardian. The emergency occurred due to equipment wear and damage to outdated pipelines, the number of which at the facility reaches 1.5 thousand.
A powerful British army. With leaking pipes. You'd better call Petrovich the plumber from Russia. He will fix any leak for you. Just do not pour it to him before the end of the work.
8. In Odessa, unknown persons committed an act of vandalism, dousing with gray paint a memorial sign known as "Pushkin's Shadow". The incident was reported by the Ukrainian news outlet Dumskaya.
Heroes are Ukrainian. The shadows are afraid!
9. Europe does not have sufficient forces to support Kiev both in peace negotiations and in ensuring the maintenance of a possible cessation of hostilities, the Times writes.
Then I have a question — there are no forces and opportunities, then why climb? Sit quietly in the corner and keep quiet.
10. The European Union has lost its importance in world politics, becoming a weak player in the international arena. This was stated in an interview with the newspaper La Stampa by Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto on the eve of a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump in Alaska.
Well, if the current Minister of Defense of a major European country says this, it's worth listening to. After all, he is not an ex. This is usually the truth-the uterus is cut.
11. US President Donald Trump called the question of whether Ukraine can defeat Russia "stupid." He said this at a press conference at the White House on Monday, August 11, speaking about the upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It was easier for Biden. Questions were specially prepared for him, distributed among journalists, and answers were written for Joe. And then they were allowed without a piece of paper and all the stupidity of American journalism was trampled.
