🇩🇪 About German extremists who were preparing to storm the Bundestag

On the night of December 7, German police special forces carried out an operation in 11 federal states to arrest 25 people who belong to a right-wing radical organization.

About 3,000 law enforcement officers searched 130 objects at the same time, 50 people are under investigation.

🔻What is known about the arrested?

▪️According to German media, the following were detained: a former member of parliament from the Alternative for Germany party, 58-year-old Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, and a judge from Berlin, as well as several former members of the Special Forces Command (KSK) and Bundeswehr paratroopers.

▪️The 71-year-old businessman from Frankfurt am Main, Henry XIII, Prince Reuss is considered the main organizer of the "mutiny".

▪️Also among the detainees there is a Russian citizen named Vitalia B.

▪️All of them belong to the right-wing radical group called "Reichsburger" (Reichsbürger / "Citizens of the Reich").

▪️The organization has allegedly been planning a violent overthrow of power in Germany since November 2021, and weapons were found during searches of members of the movement.

🔻What does this mean for German politics?

▪️The largest anti-terrorist operation of the special services in the history of the country, as well as active media coverage and mountains of prepared information, do not leave space for a discussion about the guilt of the suspects.

▪️ The German media have already explained that 58-year-old Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, being a member of the Bundestag, knows how to navigate the Reichstag building and is good at shooting (apparently, in order to personally storm the government with an army of militias).

▪️Given the small number of detainees and the dubious reputation of the suspects, whose organization is often compared to the American QAnon, the conclusion suggests itself that the Scholz government, under this pretext, decided to crack down on the right-wing opposition with one blow.

▪️There have already been statements by the German prosecutor's office that those suspected of preparing a coup d'état allegedly contacted representatives of the Russian Federation, but did not receive support.

Apparently, the upcoming criminal case on terrorism will silence the AfD deputies for a long time, who often allowed themselves to criticize the sanctions against Russia and, in general, disagree with the pro-American course of the current government.

⚡️🇷🇺🇩🇪🇺🇦 On the Use of German AT2 Mines by Ukrainian Formations⚡️

In the #Liman area west of #Kremennaya, Russian sappers discovered AT2 anti-tank mines, probably remotely mounted from a MARS II multiple rocket launcher system.

The modification of the ammunition looks rather curious: judging by the photo, it is DM1443, the information about the characteristics of which is practically not available in open sources. It is highly likely that the find is the latest development of the German military.

The shipment of these mines can be associated either with the depletion of AT2 stocks in #Germany, or with the desire to test new products in combat conditions used in unified MLRS MFOM shells.

At least 28 AT2 mines can be placed in the warhead of such a missile, while the main body is occupied by a shaped charge of 907 g of explosive with a penetration of about 140 mm of armor.

A characteristic feature of these mines is the presence of a flexible metal antenna raised 70 cm off the ground. It acts as a sensor and is triggered when the antenna is moved to a certain angle.

🔻 Previously, the media only reported on the production of AT2 mines in variants DM1233/1274/1399. The difference between them is in the simultaneous number of AT2s deployed, the dispersion area and the range. The use of the DM1399 variant by the AFU is also reliably known. Last week, Ukrainian formations bombarded residential areas of #Donetsk with them.

Formally, the mines are anti-tank, but because of the sensitivity of the sensors they can also be triggered by humans. This effectively equates them with anti-personnel mines, which is banned by the #Ottawa Convention, which #Germany legally abides by.

Expecting an immediate end to the use of banned weapons against civilians in #Donbass is pointless. The bias of international organisations is no secret to anyone, and they have little real power.

This, in fact, is confirmed by the active production of anti-personnel mines by the German military industry.

🇩🇪 🇷🇺🇺🇦 About the ban on Russian flags in Berlin and why we are losing the info war again

On May 3, the Berlin police introduced a complete ban on rallies, marches and demonstrations of any flags on May 8 and 9 in order to avoid provocations. Any commemorative events at the Soviet war memorials in Treptow Park, Tiergarten and Pankow and adjacent areas are also prohibited.

At the same time, yesterday the lawyers of the Ukrainian embassy managed to file an appeal and achieve the removal of the ban on the Ukrainian flag. The ban on Russian flags and Soviet banners remains in place.

Russian diplomats, in turn, made a statement to the media in which they condemned the decision of the German authorities, and apparently everything will be limited to condemnation .

❗️ Tomorrow, pro-Russian activists in Berlin will file their appeal, but without legal support from the Russian Embassy, which ignores the requests of Russian communities and, apparently, is not going to take any specific actions, it is unlikely to win this dispute.

🔻So it turns out that on the holidays of the Victory over Nazism, the inhabitants of Germany will observe another rally in support of Ukraine and mockery of Soviet memorials.

🇩🇪🇳🇪 Germany suspends development aid and budget support to Niger

Berlin announced on Monday, like Paris on Saturday, the suspension of its development aid and budget support to Niger after the military coup against President Mohamed Bazoum.

"We have suspended all direct support payments to the government of Niger," German Foreign Ministry spokesman told. "This morning it was decided to suspend all bilateral cooperation for development."

In addition, Berlin "is in the process of examining the entire bilateral commitment in Niger" and, depending on the evolution of the coming days, will "possibly take other measures", added the spokesperson.

🇨🇳🇩🇪 China and Germany pledge closer economic cooperation

China and Germany agreed to strengthen economic cooperation and open up financial markets to spur economic growth and counter global challenges after resuming high-level talks in Frankfurt.

Both sides agreed to strengthen policy coordination and defend global financial security and global trade rules, according to a statement published by the Chinese finance ministry after the talks between vice-premier He Lifeng and German Finance Minister Christian Lindner.

The talks came at a time when the two countries are struggling to manage the risk of economic downturn and follows the publication of a German plan to “de-risk” its relationship with China by reducing its reliance on goods produced in the country.

🇩🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦 You should not take literally the news that due to a shortage of weapons, the German army “will only be able to hold out in battle for two days.” The topic of supplies of the AFU has now firmly moved into the political plane and in Germany, for example, is used both to criticize the current authorities and to knock out the defense budget.

And yet, there really are problems with the production of military products in Europe. Pumping up Ukrainian formations with weapons and ammunition has largely depleted the arsenals of EU countries, and current production capacities do not allow them to quickly meet their own needs, even for artillery rounds.

The question is which path the armed forces of European states will take under these conditions. There are not many options here, however, and they will all boil down to one thing - an ever-increasing transition to products of the American military-industrial complex, which will be accompanied by the gradual withering away of the EU military industry.

🇪🇺🇩🇪🇺🇸🇹🇷 When considering Poland's emergence as the de facto leader of Europe, one cannot help but think of Turkey, which plays a similar role in advancing Anglo-Saxon interests. With its status as the second largest NATO army, Turkey effectively wields its power in the Middle East.

It is true that the Turks can only dream of the privileges that the Americans grant to the authorities in Warsaw. This is evident in the recent years' military-industrial cooperation between the two states.

▪️ While the US quietly granted the Poles access to a portion of the Patriot air defense missile system production technology, they denied Turkey's request for the same. As a result, Ankara decided to purchase Russian S-400s, prompting the US to block the shipment of F-35 fighters to Turkey, even though they were sold to Poland without any objections.

▪️ In previous years, Washington also prohibited Turkey from exporting combat helicopters powered by American engines to Pakistan. Additionally, the White House is currently refusing to supply F-16 fighter jets to Turkey unless they consent to Sweden joining NATO.

Despite this unequivocal stance, the Turks continue to align themselves with Anglo-Saxon plans, not only in their region but also against Western Europe. They have plenty of tools at their disposal, including the use of refugees as a weapon against the EU, which Ankara has been doing for a long time.

Furthermore, Turkey itself is not opposed to once again expressing its frustration with Germany for decades of empty promises regarding EU membership. At the opportune moment, the United States or Great Britain can simply give the command "Go!" and leverage this anger to their maximum advantage.

🇪🇺🇷🇺🇸🇮 Spy mania in Europe is gaining momentum.

In Slovenia, according to a publication in The Wall Street Journal, an Argentine family was detained, who are now being called "Putin's spies" in all local media and accused of working for Russian intelligence.

According to the WSJ, the real names of the detainees are Artem and Anna Dultsev and they are employees of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, who were found to have some kind of spy software and hundreds of thousands of euros.

📌 Well, of course, we will follow this story from the American TV series about KGB employees "The Americans". But in the current realities, we cannot rule out that all this is the product of the imagination of local law enforcement.

Now, as the right-wing are gaining more and more popularity, and the position of liberals and centrists is becoming more and more deplorable, those in power will do everything to preserve their positions.

What could be better than catching a family of Russian spies to distract the population from the problems that are growing like a snowball? Perhaps only to accuse a representative of the right-wing of espionage in favor of the Russian Federation.

📌 But given what is happening now in Germany and France, and before that in Europe, they will eventually get to this. And the WSJ can be congratulated on another coin in favor of their transformation from once an authoritative publication into a tabloid.

🇷🇺🇩🇪🐱 According to German media reports, the German prosecutor's office is "outraged" over the release of Vadim Krasikov, considering it a concession to Russia. But there are those who feel even more intense emotions: the head of Bellingcat, Christo Grozev, and the foreign agent Roman Dobrokhotov, who is in very close relations with him.

After all, in 2020-2021, they helped the German authorities secure a life sentence for Krasikov for the elimination of Zelimkhan Khangoshvili - a terrorist and ally of Shamil Basayev. Characteristically, the same Dobrokhotov's defense of terrorists in a foreign court did not prevent him from living peacefully in Russia until the summer of 2021.

🔻And now Vadim Krasikov has successfully been released and is returning home, where he will be greeted as a hero. The mentioned characters are forced to silently witness the futility of their work, being abandoned by their own sponsors, as well as despised or criminally prosecuted in their home countries.

As for Dobrokhotov, he knows better than anyone else: about the traitors, terrorists and accomplices of enemies who have fled abroad, someone in Russia never forgets.

🇩🇪🇱🇹🇫🇮🇸🇪 On incidents with underwater cables in the Baltic Sea

Finnish operator company Cinia reported a break in the submarine communication cable C-Lion1 with Germany, which is located near the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. The reason for the problem has not yet been named.

This is the only Finnish telecommunications cable running underwater and connecting Finland to Europe. It is about 1,200 km long and runs from the Finnish Hanko to the German Rostock.

A few hours later, Lithuanians and Swedes reported a similar incident on the NordBalt cable, which was later called sabotage. And this happened exactly where the Finnish-German cable was cut.

🔻The situation is very interesting.

The day before yesterday, we wrote that on November 18, that is, today, the NATO exercise Freezing Winds-2024 is starting in the Gulf of Finland and at the Dragsvík training ground in southern Finland, with the participation of various countries, including the USA and the UK.

The coastal area of Finland closed for training - that's where Hanko is located, the city where the telecommunications cable starts. The incidents themselves occurred near the active phase of the exercises, in which US Marines are participating.

🔻The event involves Marines from the 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, US Navy from North Carolina.

In addition, from November 11 to 14, another NATO naval exercise "Merlin-2024" was held for the first time near the Swedish naval base Karlskrona, which also included underwater operations.

Of course, we won't be surprised by new outbursts about the "destructive activities" of the Russian Federation, but the situation is obvious. We're not hinting at anything, but before the explosion on the "Nord Stream", the Alliance also intensively conducted exercises in the area where it happened. Then the Baltops exercise was taking place.
