News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 27 [520]

Na ja.....he himself fled to Moscow and was untouchable for german authorities....but I read he had a contactman who did all the dirty work for him, some bulgarian Orlin Roussev.

...
A disinformation campaign coordinated by former Wirecard manager Jan Marsalek was apparently launched in May 2022 to undermine public support for Ukraine in Germany. According to reports by WDR, NDR, and the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the campaign aimed to create the impression that sympathizers of Ukrainian right-wing extremists were active in Berlin.

To this end, stickers and graffiti were to be plastered en masse at prominent locations such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Jewish Museum, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, and a Bundeswehr recruitment center. The report states that Marsalek and a Bulgarian contact from Great Britain involved in the campaign selected motifs such as runes and wolfsangel symbols. Also included was the logo of the Ukrainian paramilitary group "Azov," which had been criticized for its right-wing extremist connections but, according to its own statements, has since distanced itself from them....

Agreed! Even as I am more a supporter of "additional" instead of "apart"....

Hence the declaration about the building of a european multi-national force this evening could become such an important turning point in history!

The actual reason is to support Ukraine, but once build and set in motion, that would be a good starting point....

if there is no NATO guarantee

....can't it be both? NATO still alive and well plus Europeans which shoulder alot more of the men and costs than the meagre percents now?

After all there will be (hopefully) no nuclear conflicts but probably more Ukraines...possible even on our hometurf Europe.

That will be a better indication of the future relationship.

....and when we Europeans at last start to act, not only use all these nice but empty words, that will surely help our relationship with the US best!

Most Europeans understand the general tiredness of USians providing for Europe actually very well....

Oha....just in:

Europeans plan "multinational force for Ukraine"

bild.de/politik/ausland-und-internationales/gemeinsame-erklaerung-europaeer-planen-multinationale-truppe-fuer-die-ukraine-694059656b27cf8d0fbe832a

Berlin - The European heads of state and government, who met for a joint negotiating dinner at the Chancellery on Monday evening, issued a statement calling for a "multinational force for Ukraine."

The joint document (obtained by BILD) states that they want to "work together to provide Ukraine with robust security guarantees and support measures for economic reconstruction within the context of an agreement to end the war."

▶︎ This would include, among other things, "a European-led, multinational force for Ukraine, comprised of contributions from willing nations, within the framework of the Coalition of the Willing, which is supported by the USA."...

The beginning of a European Army???

This force will "assist in the regeneration of Ukraine's armed forces, the securing of Ukraine's airspace, and the safeguarding of its seas, including through operations within Ukraine."

▶︎ Furthermore, in the event of a peace deal, the heads of state and government intend to "provide sustained and substantial support to Ukraine to build up its armed forces, which should have a permanent strength of 800,000 troops in peacetime." This is intended to enable the deterrence of conflicts and the defense of Ukraine's territory.

Hmmm....no NATO but european peace keepers....I wonder what Putin will say to that....

Off-Topic / 75 Years of Israel and the War - part 3 [619]

Yeah....THAT!

The always lacking (and sorely missed) reaction of muslims living in the West to these atrocities have been an important factor to the rising mistrust and rejection.

When has there ever been a clear big sign of these peaceful, well integrated muslims supporting the victims and the society they live in?

Is it a wonder that people came to think they are all silent supporters of the murderers? The baklava throwing happy parties after such massmurders like 9/11 or the Nova Festival not even addressed...

PS:....and yesterday they caught a few muslims in Bavaria, who were planning an attack on a Christmas Market....just saying!

If a white man killed him, it is ordinary murder,

.....this whataboutism would have more merit with white people shooting muslims during one of their festivities....or driving a car into a mosque....massmurder of muslims living in western countries generally....

.....and Australia had been so Hamas-friendly in the recent past....with their anti-Israel media probably encouraging these murderers....wouldn't be the first time that the worst attacks happen in the most Hamas-friendly western countries!

There is a lection in there somewhere....

So 50?... That's not too much.

.....one could think its a kind of a "test balloon"?

After all, when you read the interesting parts, Pistorius avoided needing a parliamentary mandate for this....if successfull going over without much hassle I guess there will be more soon...maybe....

That shield will have to be 50,000 feet high to work...

......its more like a token....a symbol....but we have to start somewhere if we want to build a real military alliance....why not with some barriers against possible invaders. If nobody comes, the better for all!

Look at the naming!

"Operation East Shield" begins in 2026:

German Armed Forces build tank barriers on Russia's border

bild.de/politik/ausland-und-internationales/operation-ostschild-bundeswehr-baut-grenzwall-vor-putins-imperium-693bfe6435d03c76a695db9b

The German armed forces are making a renewed effort to strengthen NATO's eastern flank. Starting in April 2026, German engineers will help construct a border wall to defend against a potential Russian invasion of the NATO member state of Poland. They will participate in the Polish "Operation Eastern Shield," which has been underway since May 2024.

This was announced by Polish State Secretary in the Ministry of Defense, Paweł Zalewski (61), to surprised journalists at a meeting with his German counterpart, Nils Schmid (52, SPD), at the Malbork Air Base near Gdansk....

Nice....

...And indeed! In response to a BILD inquiry, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense confirmed: "A total of a mid-double-digit number of soldiers from the army and the support sector will participate in Operation East Shield in the border region with Kaliningrad and Belarus."

...
Interestingly, according to the Ministry of Defense under Boris Pistorius (65), a parliamentary mandate is not required for this deployment of the Bundeswehr abroad, "since it is not a deployment of armed German forces abroad within the meaning of the Parliamentary Participation Act and there is no immediate danger to the soldiers from military conflicts."

...a truly interesting workaround for our poor Pistorius! :)

I could imagine this one will be used now more often...

.....could be interesting what Infantino will say to that....he just got Trump a prize, fffs.

Another thought....maybe this prize was FIFA's way and hope to gain some influence with Trump, so that he at least leaves the World Cup (and its fans) alone???

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 27 [520]

It seems there will always US troops in Europe....so fresh this news is still warm! :)

US Congress sets lower limit: no fewer than 76,000 US soldiers in Europe

militaeraktuell.at/en/us-congress-sets-lower-limit-no-fewer-than-76000-us-soldiers-in-europe/

....The US House of Representatives in Washington D.C. has passed a far-reaching defense bill that stipulates a minimum number of US troops in Europe - and is thus intended to secure the conventional deterrent effect of the United States against potential adversaries.

The more than 3,000-page draft of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) obliges President Donald Trump's government not to permanently reduce the number of US soldiers stationed in Europe below 76,000. The bill now goes to the Senate for further deliberation. ...


I'm not complaining...

Don't try to be a wiseguy.

Enlighten me....

They are neo Nazis and support r*SSia.

....and that had to do with the discussion before and Bobkos post what exactly?

I guess neither Milo nor you ever read the posts, informed yourselves about the ongoing discussion before, which Bobko answered to.

And now you are to **** to admit your error....just be silent!

That wasn't what Bobko meant, and you know it....

What you and Milo have done is drawing a direct line from centuries of german/prussian-russian mutual enrichment to Hitler and Putin???

WTF!

Germans designed the architecture of the Russian imperial state.

And significant how much support r*SSia has from the far right, particularly in Germany, Hungary and probably Austria.

.....all Nazis???

That happens when people stop listening to each other....
