Ich sag ja, das muss intern aufgearbeitet werden. Das ist auch jedem klar, der geradeaus denken kann. Also allen außer AfD/NIUS-Twitter. Sich als Vorstandsvorsitzender so politisch zu exponieren, kann nie richtig sein.

Vehicle traffic across the Kerch Bridge has come to a complete halt. Drivers have been told to stay calm. They should follow instructions from transport security staff. The closure comes amid concern about a possible attack on occupied Crimea. Restrictions like this are often imposed when a missile strike is feared. The bridge is a road link between Russia and the peninsula it occupies. This time, the threat of a strike has stopped traffic without a missile hitting the crossing.

🇩🇪🇪🇺 Outrageous images from Georgia. Yesterday, ten days before the US midterm elections, @AudiOfficial's CEO Gernot Döllner walked onto Donald Trump's campaign stage in Georgia to announce a $4 billion factory and thank the president for his support. Two numbers worth reading together: 🔸️4,500: the jobs Audi plans to create in Georgia. 🔸️42,300: the jobs Germany's car industry lost in a single year, leaving it at its smallest since 2005. In Neckarsulm (Baden-Württemberg) alone, 15,000 Audi workers are waiting to learn whether their plant has a long-term future. Meanwhile, Trump's tariffs cost Audi €1.2 billion in 2025 alone. In May he threatened to raise them to 25%, saying it would push carmakers to move production to the US "much faster". So why on earth would a European CEO agree to become a propaganda tool in his campaign? This is the president who threatened Germany and seven other European countries with tariffs unless the US was allowed to buy Greenland. The president who barred Europeans, including two Germans, from entering the US over their work on Europe's own digital rules. The president who is now waiving new sanctions on Germany's main security adversary, Russia, which targets Germany with drones over military sites, arson, sabotage and plots to assassinate defence executives. A president who has gone after our economy, our sovereignty and our security. We can't stop companies investing abroad. We can make sure Europe's market rewards those who build, hire and stand up here, and who side with Europe, not with its adversaries. To Mr Döllner we say: have some dignity and resign. You are not fit to represent one of Germany's greatest industries. apnews.com/article/audi-geor…

Mysterious death of prominent pro-war Russian rapper: Misha Mavashi dies from a gunshot wound Russian media report that the rapper was shot at home. He was taken to intensive care, but doctors were unable to save him due to massive blood loss. One theory is that the shooting was an accident caused by negligent handling of a firearm. Another is that the pro-war activist died by suicide. He supported Russia’s war against Ukraine and organized humanitarian aid deliveries to Russian occupying forces. Ukraine sentenced him in absentia to eight years in prison for this. Mavashi, whose real name was Mikhail Nits, founded the pro-government neo-Nazi group “Northern Man.”

We have cancelled our X subscription for the following main reasons: First and foremost, we cannot contribute to an organization that apparently places the interests of an adversary above those of the United States. Second, despite assurances that a paid subscription would extend reach, it appears we've experienced systematic deboosting over the past few months in favor of the platform's political preferences, conduct that violates its own terms of service.

Elon claims Ukraine broke Starlink's rules by using it for drone strikes. But Ukraine was using Starshield, the military version of Starlink. The Pentagon had signed contracts with SpaceX to provide thousands of Starshield terminals to Ukraine. According to the Wall Street Journal and CBS News, Musk himself ordered the restrictions that disrupted Ukrainian drone operations. Elon is deliberately mixing up Starlink and Starshield to shift the blame.

Dass #Audi-Chef Gernot Döllner 2026 in Trumps Wahlkampf einsteigen würde, hatte ich nicht auf meiner Bingo-Karte. Andererseits hat die deutsche Großindustrie eine lange Tradition darin, wirtschaftliches Eigeninteresse mit politischer Rückgratlosigkeit zu verwechseln. Der Kniefall vor Autokraten gehört gewissermaßen zur deutschen Industriegeschichte.

🇺🇸 Trump Blames Zelensky — But the CIA Continues to Help Ukraine According to The Atlantic, U.S. intelligence provides Kyiv with information to carry out strikes against targets deep inside Russia and warns Ukraine about incoming missiles and drones. Moreover, with the CIA's support, Ukrainian forces appear to have become so effective at inflicting damage on Russia that even Trump is unhappy about it. Still, Ukrainians do not see CIA Director John Ratcliffe as their advocate. They understand that he answers to an unpredictable president and would carry out an order if Trump decided to cut off intelligence support for Ukraine. However, thanks to years of cooperation, Ukrainian officials trust Ratcliffe on one crucial point: they believe he tells Trump the truth about the war, rather than simply what the president wants to hear.

WOW, Americans overwhelmingly support Ukraine over Russia, 66% in favor, with only 3% for Russia. trump is part of that 3%, more proof he's completely out of touch with Americans. trump is a Russian asset.

BREAKING: Central banks around the world are now quietly stockpiling 4 times as much gold as usual and moving it out of the US, per Goldman Sachs, amid senior officials warning that the gold is "no longer safe" in Trump’s hands. Purchases hit 79 tonnes in August against a pre-2022 average of 17, while holdings at the New York Fed fell 40 tonnes and holdings at the Bank of England rose 46. China was the largest buyer at 25 tonnes, aimed at rapidly diversifying away from the US dollar and G7 currencies. On the storage side, Netherlands moved 86 tonnes out of New York and Ottawa, citing "increasing geopolitical unrest." France sold 129 tonnes in New York and bought gold in Europe instead.
