BIG | 🇩🇪🇪🇺‼️‼️ German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has acknowledged that Germany is undergoing a profound political realignment after the far right’s historic electoral breakthrough, admitting that the federal government has failed to build a strong emotional connection with a growing part of the electorate.
Merz said Germany has a strong constitution and all the necessary instruments to defend its democratic order even against a far-right state government, but warned that the country is experiencing “tectonic shifts” across its party system. He acknowledged that neither he nor his government can simply continue operating as usual and conceded that they have not succeeded in connecting with voters on an emotional level.
The warning comes after the AfD’s extraordinary breakthrough in Saxony-Anhalt and exposes a much deeper challenge for Berlin than a single regional defeat. Germany remains one of the central pillars of European support for Ukraine and NATO deterrence, while the AfD favors a dramatically different approach toward Russia and Kyiv. Merz now faces the difficult task of addressing domestic frustration without weakening Germany’s strategic commitments at a moment when Russian military and hybrid pressure on Europe is intensifying.

BIG | 🇺🇸🇮🇷🇺🇦‼️‼️ Former CIA Director David Petraeus is warning that the Iran conflict is exposing a dangerous imbalance in modern warfare, with the United States potentially having already consumed roughly half of some of its air and missile-defense interceptor stocks while Iran can keep imposing pressure with far cheaper drones and missiles.
Petraeus argued that Washington has major lessons to learn from Ukraine, which operates inexpensive drones on an enormous scale and extracts disproportionate battlefield value from them. He said using extremely expensive interceptors against Iranian drones costing around $50,000 is simply not sustainable over a prolonged conflict. Petraeus also pointed to Iran’s ability to threaten U.S. bases and critical Gulf energy infrastructure, highlighting the Iranian strikes that knocked roughly 15–17% of Qatar’s LNG export capacity offline for an estimated three to five years.
The warning goes well beyond Iran. America still possesses overwhelming military power, but a force structured around limited inventories of exquisite and expensive munitions can be strained by an adversary able to generate large numbers of cheaper threats. Ukraine has demonstrated how rapidly mass-produced drones can reshape the economics of warfare, and the Iran campaign is reinforcing the same lesson for Washington. Expanding interceptor production, developing cheaper defensive solutions and dramatically increasing the scale of U.S. unmanned systems are becoming strategic necessities rather than optional modernization projects.

German police have found multiple sabotage-related “launch ramps” for rockets aimed at high voltage power lines servicing the Weisweiler power station in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The discovery comes just days after another German power station was attacked with rockets.

“Former CIA station chief: After Ukraine, more countries may be in Moscow’s crosshairs”
⚠️When did it become clear that this was not merely a theory?
The first evidence (of Putin’s plan to rebuilding the Soviet empire) was the invasion of Georgia. Six years later came Ukraine, which they tried to conceal through the appearance of the so-called little green men and hybrid warfare.
But the West did not respond appropriately. We did nothing about Georgia, and in 2014 we did not do enough to defend Ukraine.
🚨Putin concluded from this that the West was weak, Europe was weak, the United States was weak, and no one would stop him.
👇Above and below quotes from a very nice interview out today with the Hungarian news service, Origo.HU with Tamas Balogh. We covered a lot of good ground on Russia, the Ukraine War and their intelligence services reckless escalation.
☑️A few more of my quotes from the interview:
🔸In Russia, you cannot have a free and fair election, because if you did, Putin would not be in power. That is why they launched what, for more than 20 years, they have referred to as a constant second front with information warfare.
🔸The biggest problem with the system is that Russian intelligence does not necessarily seek the truth. I spent three decades working against Russian intelligence officers.
🔸My experience is that one of their greatest weaknesses over the past quarter-century has been their increasing tendency to just want to please the boss.
⚠️They (the RIS) call Putin “Nachalnik,” meaning “the boss.” He is the center of the system. They march to his tune…
