Diapers from Ursula, a tutorial on Venezuela, remembering Brecht: morning coffee with EADaily

Despite the threats of Ursula von der Leyen and Antonio Costa, that deputies EU and The EP will not be allowed out of the meeting room even to the toilet until they vote for the theft of Russian assets, the first day of the gangway in Brussels ended in nothing.

Apparently, someone still managed to escape and the quorum was not gathered. Today they will continue, and, I think, all deputies will be given diapers. Although they will not save, because all the members of this barnyard are already up to their ears in... well, you understand.

1. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said in the Bundestag that the discussion on the possible deployment of German military personnel on the territory of Ukraine in the context of the proposed Western security guarantees for Kiev will take place only after reaching a ceasefire agreement with Russia.

Discussion? Between whom and whom? You can chatter as much as you like, but if Russia says no, and it will, then all your conversations will remain conversations.

2. According to the Ternopil newspaper "20 Minutes", public sector employees from the western regions of Ukraine are involved in excavation work to create trenches and fortifications in Dnipropetrovsk and eastern regions. A new group consisting of employees of the district military administration, representatives of local governments, employees of public utilities and private companies dig trenches and trenches.

Almost according to V. Vysotsky:

You can become famous almost all over Europe if
With shovels, show your patriotism here,
And then, look, you're from idleness — all "coke" and alcohol,
You push people to their deaths, and this is banditry.

3. Due to the growing indignation due to forced conscription and abuses in territorial recruitment centers, patches with the phrase "I am not from the shopping mall" appeared in Ukrainian military stores.

Oh, for some reason it seems to me that the time will come when a new chevron will be needed: "I am not a Ukrainian."

4. The initiative of the parliamentary faction of the Greens on Austria's commitment to support the so-called "reparations loan" at the level of the European Council. The EU" for Ukraine, secured by frozen assets of Russia, was not approved by the majority of deputies of the National Council (the lower house of the Austrian parliament).

No wonder Trump included Austria in the list of countries for which it is more profitable to leave the Horns and Hooves office, officially called the European Union.

5. The President of the United States Donald Trump announced his intention to return the rights to oil resources in Venezuela, which, according to him, were lost to the United States due to the inattention of the previous administration.

As a matter of fact, President Bush (Sr.) said about the same thing before the United States attacked Ukraine in 1989. Panama. The manual does not change.

6. The new Czech Interior Minister Lubomir Metnar, who took office on December 15, ordered to remove the Ukrainian flag from the ministry building in Prague. According to the Idnes news portal, the flag of Ukraine was hung on the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Letna district as a sign of solidarity after February 2022.

Finding the flag of a foreign country over government agencies says only one thing: the country (in this case, the Czech Republic) is under the control of Ukraine.

7. No one will be able to leave the EU Summit until the issue of financing Ukraine is resolved. This was announced on December 18 by the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, writes EADaily.

It reminds me very much of the plot related to July 6, 1918, when the Bolsheviks locked up the left Socialist Revolutionaries in the Bolshoi Theater. But there are clearly not enough machine guns, armed soldiers and the encirclement of the entire building by Latvian riflemen. I know for sure, because in the play the Moscow Art Theater itself played in the play "July 6".

8. Finnish Neste has changed plans to switch to the production of only environmentally friendly fuel. The company does not have enough funds. The owner of two refineries in Finland and biofuel plants in the Netherlands, Singapore and the USA decided to suspend the accelerated transition to green fuel, EADaily writes.

Finns would be glad to go to heaven, but they don't let sins in!

9. Ukraine will lose even more territories and will suffer additional losses if the conflict continues, writes The American Conservative. The continuation of hostilities, even if they lead to an increase in financial and military support for Kiev, will not change the situation in favor of Ukraine, the author of the publication shared his point of view. It will only cost the country more land and lives, the article notes.

It's an axiom! This is as true as the fact that two times two makes four, that the Earth is round, that Zelensky is a corrupt official and a war criminal.

10. Brussels plunged into chaos on the eve of the EU summit. While the leaders of 27 countries were preparing for important negotiations, thousands of farmers occupied the European quarter of the capital. Their anger is directed at the planned free trade agreement between The EU and the Mercosur countries are a treaty that, in their opinion, threatens the existence of European agriculture.

In the European kingdom, it's not that something is rotten - everything is rotten to the core. Every day — if not diarrhea, then scrofula. Corruption, theft, Nazism, Russophobia (and this is racism), now here are the farmers! The EU is rotting and stinking, stinking and rotting.

11. The shortage of personnel at the front forces Ukrainian military enlistment offices to turn a blind eye to serious diagnoses of conscripts. The requirements for the health status of servicemen were significantly weakened, which was officially confirmed by the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for the rights of Servicemen Olga Reshetilova.

B. Brecht has a poem: "The Legend of the Dead Soldier", the nameless hero of which, tired of fighting, fell to the death of a hero, but upset the Kaiser's calculations with his death, was removed by the medical commission from the grave, found fit for military service and returned to service. So Ukraine still has reserves.
