Grüner als gedacht! Support Ukraine

Kyiv und Region wurden von den russischen Kriegsverbrechern mit Raketen und Drohnen angegriffen. Dabei wurde gezielt Streumunition gegen Zivilisten eingesetzt. Derzeitige Opferbilanz: 1 Toter, 24 Verletzte. Getroffen wurde u.a. ein grosses Lebensmittellager.

Mike Pompeo: Iranian regime, tied to Chinese, who are preparing to ship missile systems to Iran, and Russians, who are providing intelligence to Iran, are 3 malign actors who want you and I to live in radically different world, working together to undermine Western civilization.

SEN. KELLY: Our European allies think we’ve lost our minds. We’re talking about attacking Greenland, U.S. invading Greenland? Prime minister of Greenland told me that children in Greenland are now afraid of Americans. In Denmark, Chinese now poll higher than Americans.

1/ Russia has doubled the rate of personal income tax to cover the budget deficits caused by the war in Ukraine. However, as a gloomy Russian commentary notes, it's likely to have dire effects on the economy and the country's already declining demographics. ⬇️

Während Deutschland noch teure Tomahawk kaufen will, startet das Pentagon eine Initiative für neue günstige Raketen: 250.000 Dollar pro Rakete, Tests in drei Monaten, Massenproduktion in 18 Monaten. Das brauchen wir auch statt jahrelanger Riesenprogramme. www.defensenews.com/news/2026/07...

5/5 The narrative that London is a lawless wasteland is a triumph of online disinformation, amplified on social platforms to fit political narratives. London has room to improve, but US commentators living under higher murder rates should address their own problems first

4/5 Homicide is a quite objective metric that leaves almost no room for underreporting. It measures severe violence and counts lethal crimes without bias. You simply cannot claim your city is safer than London if your homicide rate is five times higher, regardless of theft stats

Bild

3/5 Critics point to phone snatching or property crime to downplay this, but criminologists rely heavily on homicide rates for a reason. Non-fatal crime stats are hard to compare and often unreliable due to huge differences in reporting rates, trust in police, and insurance claim requirements

2/5 London's homicide rate sits at roughly 1.1 per 100,000. All 100 of the largest 100 US cities have higher murder rates, and 49 out of 50 US states are more dangerous on this metric. London achieves this safety record while being a massive, diverse metropolis of nine million people

Bild

1/5 Elon Musk's claims about London expose the gap between social media algorithms and statistical reality. Despite online panic about ”dangerous” European capitals, the data shows London is safer than nearly every US city

SIKORSKI: Germany, under Merkel and before, believed in transformation through trade. Like, "If we become big enough customer for Russian gas, they won't risk that relationship for some silly ideas." Or, "They can't be serious about rebuilding empire. It's too passé, right?" They got that wrong.

Ukraine’s 414th Magyar’s Birds Brigade downed a rare Russian Forpost-R heavy strike-reconnaissance drone over Kursk Oblast with a Chaklun-KM interceptor at 4,300 meters. The UAV can carry KAB-20 laser-guided bombs; the unit says it is the sixth confirmed Forpost-R loss of the war. #Ukraine
