Warum verbreiten ARD+ZDF russische Propaganda-Bilder?

Gestern Abend schaffte es wieder fabrizierter russischer Bullshit in 🇩🇪Hauptnachrichten:
Angebliche Bilder von Drohnen, die Putins unehelichen Kinder samt Ponyhof in seiner Residenz angegriffen haben sollen.

Wann ist endlich damit genug?

Zohran Derangement Syndrome (racism)
This is how Christopher Caldwell begins his essay on Zohran Mamdani for the Claremont Review of Books.

Why are these people such freaks?

When it comes time to write the history of Europe in this period, there will be one area of consensus. One of the greatest errors European states ever made, was in trusting the USA.

I would say he has declined 600 or 700 percent. Some people say 1400 percent. No one has ever seen such declines. They say it took George Washington almost 250 years to decline as much. Huge decline.

Ich wusste bis heute nicht, dass es nikotingetränkte Zahstocher gibt, und dachte, dass ich immer mehr Jugendliche eben mit Zahnstochern im Mund sehe, hat was mit verklärter Proletarier-Romantik zu tun oder eben Rebellentum. Najo. www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/mue...
Erste Münchner Schule verbietet Zahnstocher - kein Scherz
Mehrere Siebtklässler werden erwischt, wie sie auf den kleinen Holzstäbchen herumkauen. Das Schulpersonal schreitet unverzüglich ein – denn Mundhygiene hatten die Jugendlichen offenbar nicht im Sinn.

The EU never gets praise even when it acts. There is so much constant EU negging that commentators struggle to praise when it delivers. The EU did what it needed to do. Take the win.

Berichten zufolge 10 Tote bei Anschlag auf Channuka-Feier in Australien. Was für ein Grauen. Und in diesem Video sieht man wie offenkundig ein Akt der Courage möglicherweise noch Schlimmeres verhinderte.
Video, I believe recorded off of local TV, of a bystander disarming one of the two killers.

Wenn man als Europäer etwas länger als 30 Sekunden über die weltpolitische Lage nachdenkt, kann man nur zu einem Schluss kommen: 1. Vereinigte Staaten von Europa jetzt. 2. Rechtsextreme Parteien isolieren — und verbieten, wo es verfassungstechnisch geht. 3. EU-Armee. 4. Digitale Souveränität asap.!

Man kann beklagen, was die Amerikaner in ihre Papiere schreiben oder dass Putin sich nicht rührt. Oder man kann die Stärke Europas endlich nutzen und in den Prozess einbringen. Assets, Schattenflotte, Öl, Gas. Handlungsfähigkeit beweist man am besten dadurch, dass man handelt.
