Merz hatte einen Neustart der Beziehungen zu Polen versprochen. Geschafft hat er das Gegenteil. Ab heute sanktionieren sich beide Länder mit Grenzkontrollen gegenseitig. Die illegalen Zurückweisungen im deutschen Alleingang stärkten bei der Präsidentschaftswahl die Europagegnern. Welch ein Desaster!

NATO agrees on 3.5% defence spending. German government plans to raise it to that level quickly, with debt only.

There was *one* politician in the election campaign who said all this needed to happen.

Claiming "everybody gets a transgender operation" and blaming it for US decline is *exactly* the type of thing Putin has been saying about the US for years.
Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

Doch Klimaschutz ist keine Randnotiz, keine Bonusfrage. Klimaschutz ist Menschenschutz. Ich habe bereits gezeigt, wie man auch in rauen Fahrwassern erfolgreiche Klimapolitik umsetzen kann. Genau das möchte ich fortsetzen.

Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia.

It’s taken years of prep. What a moment.

Plugged into Europe! 🔌

The Baltics 🇪🇪 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 have disconnected from the Russian power grid and fully synchronised with the 🇪🇺 continental one, marking their energy independence.

After two decades of preparation, it is now time to benefit from our common energy system.

Every year, the World Economic Forum at Davos reports on the consensus of risks facing the world.

In the short-term, it's DISINFORMATION.

Long-term, it's CLIMATE CHANGE.

Trump admin executive order wants to be leading producer of non-fuel minerals, and many of those DOE contracts are for lithium extraction/processing in California, Arkansas, Nevada. Who are the offtakers for that lithium if we end up gutting our commitments to build up a battery sector in the US?
