RT @bctallis: Absolutely appalling from Mutzenich, leader of Scholz’s SPD in the Bundestag

- ⁠accuses other Eur countries of instrumentalising the war in 🇺🇦 for their own interests
- ⁠ suggests to “freeze the conflict & solve it later”
- “We should focus on more important things” (than weapons for #Ukraine).

This undermines 🇩🇪 & European security, damages #Germany’s relations with allies & serves Putin’s interests.
Allies have to push back on this as strongly as possible.
Greens & FDP have to make clear this is unacceptable or bear their share of responsibility for this course.

Um Europa von der "Kriegsfessel" zu befreien, will Mützenich den Krieg einfrieren. Damit verabschiedet sich die SPD von dem Ziel, den Krieg Putins zum Scheitern zu bringen. In den besetzten Gebieten werden schlimmste Verbrechen begangen. Einfrieren? Ein unglaublicher Vorschlag. - Norbert Röttgen

RT @general_ben: Excellent thread by @bctallis explains German support for Ukraine, why it's not enough, why it is as it is. A sophisticated look at the numbers and geopolitical considerations. Ultimately, Germany must regain its self-confidence. Germany will be the biggest loser if Russia wins.

56bn for Ukraine 🇺🇦
Zero Trust for Germany? 🇩🇪

#Germany is both #Ukraine’s biggest European supporter in absolute financial terms

- AND rightly seen as problem by allies (As well as by many Germans)

Here’s why.🧵

RT @bctallis: No matter what the Dem ticket for 2024 is, they should commit to #Ukraine’s victory - & to keeping up the pressure on European allies (hi #Germany!) to properly provide for the defence of Europe.
Defending freedom is a team sport.

No matter what the Dem ticket for 2024 is, media should be pressured EVERY DAY to question Trump’s record and mental fitness for holding public office. Anything less is a dereliction of duty. Thank you for your service to our country, President Biden.🙏🇺🇸 - Steven Seegel 🇺🇦

"The court rules that if the explosions were part of a military action against Russia’s war machine, they were an act of just war, not sabotage. Mr Volodymyr you are a free man"

🇵🇱 BREAKING: Polish court denies Germany’s request to extradite a Ukrainian citizen accused of blowing up Nord Stream & Nord Stream 2.

The court ruled that if the explosions were part of a military action against 🇷🇺Russia’s war machine, they were an act of just war, not sabotage.

Judge to the defendant:

“Mr Volodymyr — you are a free man!”

The court blasted the German request as “unacceptable.”

RT @TTheBattlefield: 🇩🇪🇺🇦 CHANCELLOR MERZ: "Naive Pacifism Feeds Tomorrow's Wars"

‼️During the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) convention, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz delivered a powerful and hawkish speech, reaffirming Berlin's unwavering support for Kyiv while sharply criticizing calls for a compromised peace deal with Russia.

🔍 Key Takeaways from the Chancellor's Speech:

🔻Unconditional Support: Merz declared that Germany stands with the Ukrainian people absolutely, "without any 'buts' and 'ifs'."

🔻Condemning Moscow: He firmly denounced the Russian regime's systematic warfare targeting civilians, specifically highlighting the attacks on the elderly, women, and children.

🔻The Danger of Appeasement: Pushing back against pressure for immediate negotiations, Merz delivered a stark warning: "Concession does not create peace. It only emboldens the aggressor."

💡 Why it matters (Zero-Click Context): This speech marks a resolute stance from the German leadership at a critical geopolitical juncture. By explicitly calling out "naive pacifism," Chancellor Merz is directly countering domestic and international voices advocating for a quick ceasefire at the cost of Ukrainian territory. It signals that Berlin remains committed to long-term backing for Kyiv, viewing any premature concessions to Moscow as a green light for future aggression.

👇 Do you agree with Chancellor Merz that pushing for concessions only emboldens aggressors, or is diplomatic compromise the only realistic way to end a prolonged war of attrition? Let's debate in the replies.

RT @PeterRNeumann: Very good summary. This is an enormous scandal with massive - and entirely negative - ramifications for German intelligence. Hanning did a lot of damage to his country.👇

#Germany: Update on #Hanning case.
- An investigating judge at the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe issued a pre-trial detention order against ex-#BND chief August Hanning. So, no bail for him.
- Prosecutors accuse him of intelligence agent activity, treasonous spying, reconnoitering state secrets, and attempted treason.
- His former office manager at the BND, Manfred D., was also placed in pre-trial detention on Tuesday for aiding and abetting attempted treason and treasonous spying.
- The two worked side by side for more than two decades after meeting at the BND. D. later followed Hanning to the Interior Ministry.
- @derspiegel reported that investigators were examining Hanning's contacts with an intelligence operative in #Azerbaijan and noted his documented role on the board of the German-Azerbaijani Forum.
- Azerbaijan, as expected, has rejected reports linking it to the case, calling them disinformation.
- The public denial came from a state media regulator, not from a minister or the presidency. A statement from the Foreign Ministry or the presidency would have been more notable; none has appeared.
- Separately, APA, citing diplomatic sources, reported that Baku lodged a protest through special-services and diplomatic channels, addressed to the German Chancellor’s Office and the German Foreign Ministry.
- For an espionage case in which Germany has not officially accused Azerbaijan, a regulator’s denial plus a private diplomatic protest is consistent with how Baku usually handles contested foreign reporting. It is not a sign that the government stayed silent.
- Azerbaijani outlet AnewZ, citing informed sources, said German intelligence had told Baku the probe is not connected to Azerbaijan and centers on other countries, and that the classified material itself was not passed to third parties. German authorities have not publicly confirmed that account.
- To make things more complicated, according to @Reuters, it is considered possible that the former BND chief may have passed confidential documents to countries such as #Israel.
- Looks like much more is still to come. Buckle up. https://www.generalbundesanwalt.de/SharedDocs/Pressemitteilungen/DE/2026/Pressemitteilung-vom-07-10-2026-2.html?nn=478184 - Adrian Shtuni

nice try.
