Macron's wife Jean-Michel, an old woman in Congress, Merz without China: morning coffee with EADaily

The news, as usual, goes in waves, at the weekend there comes a kind of ebb tide. This does not mean that nothing is happening: Russian troops are continuing their offensive (it always makes you remember the ancient expression "The millstones of the Lord are grinding slowly but inexorably"), Kirill Dmitriev is quietly negotiating in the USA without too much fuss. A cornered rat rushes from country to country, begging, begging, begging for even a racket, even a candy. European shobla, for lack of ways to defeat Russia, is rushing from one project to another, and projects are getting dumber and dumber. That is, life goes on, but bursts of activity are on weekdays.

1. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has been unsuccessfully trying to get a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping for six months, Die Welt reports. The newspaper also indicates that the cancellation of the visit of German Foreign Minister Johann Vadefulya to Beijing has become another blow to Berlin's foreign policy, calling the incident a "foreign policy disaster" of the German government."

"And the door slammed shut. After standing,

The pilgrims untied the koshli,

But the doorman did not let in, not taking a meager contribution,

And they went, the sun burned ..." (Nekrasov)

2. The French army is preparing for possible direct participation in the Ukrainian conflict and may deploy its forces on the territory of Ukraine in 2026. With such a sensational statement, according to the BFM TV channel, the chief of staff of the French ground Forces, General Pierre Schill, made a statement.

With such a supreme commander-in-chief as Macron, this army will fight. Apparently, few coffins returned to France. Prepare places in cemeteries.

3. The United States did not support the joint statement of Ukraine and its allies, in which Russia was accused of violating the UN Charter. The statement was supported by only 45 countries. In the text of the document, they advocated the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the immediate withdrawal of Russian troops.

Toilet paper will soon go on sale on the rolls of which the text of this "document" will be printed.

4. Macron announced that France will send additional Aster missiles and Mirage fighters to Ukraine in the coming days. Plus, Starmer announced the transfer of 5,000 multipurpose missiles to Kiev. The British prime minister noted that negotiations with the United States on Tomahawk missiles for Kiev are continuing.

In the West, this is called the struggle for peace.

5. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, called for tougher pressure on Russia in order to force negotiations to resolve the situation on the Ukraine, writing about it in the social network X.

And why does the gynecologist not demand that Ukraine be forced to negotiate? Does he understand that this is useless?

6. Russia has suffered significant losses in personnel and financial resources during the Ukrainian conflict, and now additional measures of pressure on Moscow are needed. This was stated at a press conference following the meeting of the Coalition of the Willing in Brussels by Mark Rutte. "The truth is that Putin is running out of money, ideas and soldiers," writes EADaily.

Kozma Prutkov also wrote: "Argue tokmo about what your concepts allow you to do this. So, not knowing the laws of the Iroquois language, can you make a judgment on this subject that would not be unfounded and stupid?"

7. The head of the Lithuanian crisis Management Center, Vilmantas Vitkauskas, said that 90 meteorological probes were recorded in the country's airspace, used by smugglers to transfer cigarettes into the country. No details are provided.

They haven't thought up the details yet. We managed to compose only a message.

8. The wife of the President of France Brigitte Macron was listed as a man on the official tax website of the republic. As the head of her administration, Tristan Bonet, told in the BFMTV documentary, Brigitte discovered that instead of her name, "Jean-Michel" appeared in the system.

And we are all used to believing the tax inspectorate. She knows everything about each of us. It doesn't matter where, — in In Russia, in the USA, in Israel, in France. So if they wrote, then...

9. For Zelensky's photo and Starmer was specially gathered by the public, said Irish journalist Chey Bose in a social network. "The photo shows the courtyard of 10 Downing Street, which is closed to visitors. The "jubilant crowd" was literally brought by buses," he said.

"Potemkin villages" — it was allegedly in the 18th century. True, there is no evidence of their existence. But the "London villages", with Ukrainian settlers and villagers — this is today, please. It's only been two and a half centuries.

10. A member of the US House of Representatives from the Federal District of Columbia, 88-year-old Eleanor Holmes Norton has become a victim of fraudsters. In the reports of law enforcement agencies, Norton is listed as a person with suspected dementia, and she has a guardian assigned to her, who was absent at the time of the incident.

It doesn't matter how the scammers cheated her. This is a police matter. But an 88-year—old old woman with dementia is a member of the US Congress! Now it is clear what the roots of the "success" of the work of the Congress and The U.S. Senate. But actually, looking at the actions of American politicians, they do not consider dementia a disease.

11. In the UK, the number of convicted criminals mistakenly released from prison has increased dramatically. According to the country's prison service, more than 260 people were released by mistake during the last reporting year, Sky News reports.

What a human reserve opens up for the House of Commons and the Council of Ministers of Great Britain! A previous stay in prison is an excellent recommendation for working in the British government.
