Vance and Senior Trump Admin confirming the $300 BILLION reconstruction fund offer is real. If this was the Obama Deal, MAGA would be LOSING THEIR MINDS. And rightfully so.

Für AI gilt genauso wie für jede andere Technologie „A fool with a tool is still a fool“. Ich habe selbst jahrelang Gastbeiträge und Interviews für Politiker und CEOs geschrieben. Noch heute verdienen Agenturen mit Ghostwriting Geld. Je nach Feedback kommen schnell zwei Tagessätze zusammen. Niemand kann mir erzählen, dass die Textqualität eines Juniorberaters oder Referenten im Mittel besser ist, als ein gut trainierter Agent. Mit Sicherheit hat jeder von uns schon Texte gelesen und auch für gut befunden, die mithilfe von AI geschrieben wurden. Das Problem ist nicht der Einsatz von Technologie anstelle eines Ghostwriters, sondern die fehlende Kompetenz im Umgang mit Technologie. Jeder professionelle Kommunikator sollte inzwischen Skills haben, die auf den eigenen Schreibstil geprägt sind und permanent weiterentwickelt werden. Alles andere ist Zeitverschwendung. Nutzt AI wie einen Analysten, Researcher, Kurator oder Ghostwriter. Aber seid transparent und stellt stellt euch nicht so doof an.

Ich habe am 19.01.2025 ein Video gemacht, dass Trump den Nahen Osten verändern wird. "Die größten Veränderungen seit 50 Jahren sind möglich und sogar wahrscheinlich." So hatte ich mir das aber nicht vorgestellt.

"Let me pose in front of this shiny demonstrator (which was actually ordered in 2022 under Tories) and which now has reached end of its funded program without us saying anything about what, if anything, we will do with it next. Look how innovative we are. So drone. So future."

Sorry, but this needs to be said again and again, until it is fully understood and accepted: 🇷🇺 The Russian Army has been fought to a standstill in Ukraine - 1.4 million casualties with about 400K deaths. The sheer scale of human and equipment losses is staggering. 🇷🇺 It means Russia is not going to precipitate a second war anytime soon. However, the Russian economy has proved to be much stronger and more resilient than Western analysts expected. Military spending has sustained growth even if inflation is high and energy export income has fallen. 🇷🇺 It is entirely possible that a peace deal could be concluded within the next 12 months. Any such agreement will only be signed off by Putin if it gifts him a large chunk of Ukraine. This will allow him to declare victory and remain in power. 🇷🇺 When the conflict with Ukraine ends, Russia will not immediately revert to a non-wartime economy. Peace will give Putin a much needed breathing space which he will use to rearm and retrain his battered army. It is likely to take a decade before Russia regains any credible military strength while the economy recovers — and it is entirely possible that China will support Russia’s rearmament process. So we could see a Russian military resurgence within 5 years. This is the risk. 🇷🇺 Whatever happens, there is no inexorable path to war with Russia. But if we do nothing, if we refuse to bolster our defences when time is on our side, it’s the same as leaving the door unlocked — we will invite aggression, because Putin is strategically ambitious and opportunistic. 🇷🇺 A strong Europe, fully prepared, with potent and flexible capabilities, plus resilient and scalable economic production, would definitely deter aggression, just as NATO’s Cold War presence in Europe kept the peace for almost half a century. 🇬🇧 So,we have a straightforward binary choice: deter aggression through strength. Invite aggression through weakness. I do not want to send my children to fight a war that could have been be avoided. If you are a parent, I hope you will agree.

Russian terrorists target ambulance in Kherson. An enemy drone struck an ambulance on the grounds of one of the city's hospitals. Two doctors, aged 64 and 65, were injured. A 45-year-old woman, who was inside the building during the attack, also required hospital treatment. Die deutsche drecksAfD: Wir müssen wieder mit den russischen Mördern zusammenarbeiten.

Sicher, der Mossad wird Tucker ermorden. Diese Clowns steigern sich in ihre antisemitischen Fantasien in einem Maße hinein, dass es kaum vorstellbar ist. Trump führt Netanjahu über den Iran an der Nase herum und bereitet ein für Israel katastrophales Abkommen vor - aber Israel hat an dem Krieg schuld. Das Absurde ist, dass die sich gerne "Antizionisten" nennenden Antisemiten mit ihren Aussagen den Zionismus rechtfertigen. Ja, ihr Judenhass verlangt, dass es einen israelischen Staat gibt, damit Juden wenigstens an einem Ort der Welt sicher vor Antisemiten sind.

If the artists who’ve pulled out are - as @realDonaldTrump calls them - “third rate Artists”, why did Trump hire them to perform in the first place?

🇩🇪🇺🇦 The hard target defeat capabilities of Taurus are best in class. Even in small quantities, these missiles would allow Ukraine to hold more complicated Russian targets at risk. Chancellor Merz needs to honour his commitment.

Ich habe die Lösung: Russland geht zurück in sein eigenes Staatsgebiet und bleibt dort. Wer geht jetzt hin und vermittelt es dem Kreml?

Dass europäische Regierungen Putins Kriegsverbrechen, das Ermorden von Zivilisten mit Raketen und Drohnen in einer europäische Großstadt hinnehmen, dass das keine Konsequenzen für Putin hat, stellt alles Gerede von “europäischen Werten” in Frage. welt.de/videos/video6a12b3fc…

The Collapse of Deterrence Against Iran? Paradoxically, one of the most serious consequences of this campaign may be the erosion of deterrence vis-à-vis Iran, specifically, the loss of the implicit sword hanging over Tehran as it considers whether to move toward nuclear weapons capability. For years, one of the main factors restraining the Iranian leadership under Khamenei from openly advancing toward a bomb was the fear that doing so could trigger a large-scale military campaign aimed not merely at damaging Iran’s capabilities, but at threatening the regime itself. From Tehran’s perspective, however, Iran has now endured precisely such a confrontation and survived it. More importantly, the conflict exposed the significant limitations facing both Israel and the United States in any future campaign against Iran: the reluctance to commit ground forces, constraints on available munitions, and Israel’s deep operational and strategic dependence on the United States. At the same time, Iran may have concluded that its ability to threaten or disrupt the Strait of Hormuz, thereby inflicting severe damage on the global economy, gives it a level of coercive leverage that the West is ultimately unwilling to challenge decisively. It is important to acknowledge that Iran withstood an unprecedented military assault in terms of the scale of firepower directed against it, yet the regime remained intact and did not capitulate. That reality may lead Tehran to conclude that the deterrent credibility of both Israel and the United States has been fundamentally weakened. This perception could become even stronger after the U.S. elections and under future American administrations, many of which may be even less willing to enter into direct confrontation with Iran. From Tehran’s perspective, Iran’s resilience during the conflict may have shattered the aura of overwhelming Israeli-American deterrence. Paradoxically, deterrence may have been more effective when it remained ambiguous and untested. Once military power was actually employed, it may have demonstrated the limits, rather than the strength, of Western coercive capacity against Iran. This is a deeply consequential development. One indication is that Iran reportedly adopted tougher positions in post-war negotiations than it held before the conflict began. The loss of the deterrence card could ultimately convince the Iranian leadership that this is precisely the moment to move toward nuclear weapons capability, believing that neither Israel nor the United States possesses either the will or the ability to stop it. The core problem is that neither Israel nor the United States was prepared, or perhaps even capable, of going all the way in a confrontation with Iran. Instead, they appeared to rely on external variables, whether Kurdish unrest, internal regime instability, or hopes for political fragmentation inside Iran by supporting Ahmadinejad, as substitute mechanisms that could spare them the enormous manpower requirements and the prospect of a campaign stretching over months or even years. Once those assumptions collapsed, what remained was essentially an air campaign. While tactically impressive, its achievements may ultimately pale in comparison to the strategic damage caused by exposing the actual limits of Israeli and American power in Iranian eyes. From Tehran’s perspective, the war may have revealed not overwhelming Western dominance, but rather the boundaries of what Israel and the United States are truly willing and able to do militarily against Iran. That, in itself, may become one of the most damaging long-term consequences of the entire campaign. This should force both Israel and the United States back to the drawing board. They will need to reassess how deterrence against Iran can be rebuilt under the current circumstances. That will not be easy. Restoring deterrence after it has been tested , and, in Tehran’s eyes, exposed as limited, is far more difficult than maintaining an ambiguous threat that has never been put to the test. Most importantly, the conflict likely helped Iran better understand its adversaries through direct friction and real-world confrontatio. #IranWar‌ #iran

"Ich würde sagen: Wenn das nicht aufhört mit den Bombardements, dann ist der erste Schritt der: Reichweiten-Begrenzung aufheben. Und der zweite Schritt der, dass wir die Taurus liefern." Merz ergänzte: "Und dann hat (der russische Präsident Wladimir) Putin es in der Hand, wie weit er diesen Krieg noch weiter eskalieren will." (Friedrich Merz am 13. Oktober 2024)

What Russians struck last: Shopping malls, markets, water treatment facilities, living quarters, train stations, museums etc. It is a waste of time to comment on the primitive character of this Russian state. It is a constant, just as it happens every time, when Russians are not getting what they want. If anything then last night should make the last one understand: With Putin and his ilk there will never be peace. It was Putin who made this decision for taking this road. It passed the point of no return long ago. It is time that the West does the same.

Wie werden dazu nichts weiter posten. Familie ist informiert und mehr braucht man nicht zu wissen. Zur gegebener Zeit werden wir vielleicht etwas mehr dazu schreiben. Unsere Gedanken sind beim Lehrgangsteilnehmer und seiner Familie. Wir hoffen das Beste.
