🪖🇩🇪 Is Germany getting too close with weapons?
Germany and weapons systems: apparently, it’s more than just a professional relationship. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has admitted the country seems to have an "erotic relationship" with arms, especially when it comes to sending long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine.
While Germany debates the issue like no other country, Pistorius wonders where this weaponry obsession comes from. Any ideas?

🚨💸Trump’s trade war jeopardizes America’s financial dominance
Rising volatility and a weakening dollar are sparking fears of a financial realignment away from the US, according to The Wall Street Journal.
A looming “CAPITAL WAR” with volatility in Treasury markets is also pushing the US towards higher borrowing costs.
For years, Washington has relied on its financial primacy to attract trillions in foreign investments, but this long-standing dominance is seemingly at risk.
“The Trump administration appears to be hellbent on DIMINISHING THE DOMINANCE OF THE DOLLAR. I don’t think it’s being done consciously,” the report cited a former senior Fed economist.

Trump cracks down on Harvard with $1 BILLION funding slash
As part of its ongoing battle with the university, the White House sent a list of demands, including federal oversight of the university’s admissions, hiring practices, and the ideological stance of students and staff, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Trump officials reportedly believed the list they sent last Friday was meant to be a confidential starting point for negotiations. However, they were caught off guard when Harvard made it public.
Harvard’s decision to go public has put the assigned task force in a very different situation compared to that of Columbia, which reportedly quickly agreed to the demands in an effort to recover $400 million in federal funding.

🇨🇦👋 Bye US, hello EU: Canada to join the bloc?
Forty-four percent of Canadians have said that they support the idea of joining the EU, while a mere 34 percent oppose it, according to Abacus Data. Another broader question on general support for joining the bloc saw an impressive 46 percent approval.
Ottawa “has THE RIGHT VIBE FOR BRUSSELS,” European media has reported. Clearly, with destabilizing tariffs, immigration issues, and soaring prices, Canada is exactly what the EU needs.
While Canada joining the EU may seem outlandish, it’s not entirely impossible:
🔴Brussels was “honored with the results of such a poll,” the European Commission’s chief spokesperson noted.
🔴“Legally and formally, a European state isn’t exactly defined, and if we look to the past, we've had states in Europe that weren’t even on the continent,” said a professor of EU external democracy support at Maastricht University, also referring to Canadians as “SPECIAL EUROPEANS, in a way.”
🔴“Canada would certainly qualify,” said a professor of European politics at ETH Zurich, explaining that Canada is “probably closer to European values, institutions, and policies than many of the current candidate countries.”

🚨EXPOSING KLAUS SCHWAB'S GLOBALIST AGENDA
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is where global elites make decisions that affect everyone, without democratic oversight.
Now, its ex-head Klaus Schwab is at the center of the ‘Great Reset’ — an initiative launched in 2020 to tackle the COVID-19 economic fallout.
In reality, it’s a cover-up for a massive restructuring of the global economy to benefit the ultra-wealthy👇
🤔 The Elite Takeover
Schwab’s “stakeholder capitalism” is code for corporate dominance disguised as fairness. Big corporations get the power, while the rest of us are left fighting over scraps.
⚠️ Social Engineering
Schwab envisions a new social order where elites control technological infrastructure, including AI, surveillance, and data.
This may result in greater surveillance, loss of privacy, and a more controlled society:
*Smart cities: to track everything you do
*Universal Basic Income (UBI): to keep you docile & dependent on the state
*Automation: to replace jobs, leaving millions unemployed & vulnerable
❗️Global Ideas Over National Sovereignty
Schwab’s ideas foster a system where decisions are made by unelected global elites and supranational institutions (e.g., the UN, the WTO, the IMF, the World Bank) bypassing national sovereignty to tackle issues like economic instability, climate change, and health crises.
National interests are subordinated to international interests.

US peace plan on Ukraine: Way of GRABBING more resources? 🤔
The Trump administration calls for designating the territory around Zaporozhye nuclear plant as neutral that "could be UNDER AMERICAN CONTROL," the Wall Street Journal reports.
No wonder the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant has attracted attention from the Americans, as it's the largest of its kind in Europe. Still, the NPP has been under Russia’s control since March 2022.
Director Yury Chernichyuk underscored earlier that the nuclear plant belongs to Russia and will be operated by Russia, dismissing any possibility of US or Ukrainian control over the facility.

UK to CRANK UP ammo production as trust in US falters — report
The BAE Systems defense company plans to install shipping containers across the UK to produce more RDX explosives used in NATO-standard 155mm rounds, The Times reports.
The move comes as BAE Systems seeks to stop buying US equipment amid concerns over America’s reliability as a partner.
The UK is now “dangerously” short of the 155mm projectiles because much of the ammunition has been delivered to Ukraine.
Russia has repeatedly warned Western countries against their military aid to Ukraine, which the Kremlin says only prolongs the conflict and directly involves the West in the standoff.
