‘Crazy politics’ hell-bent on dragging the continent into World War III

This has been the knee-jerk reaction flooding the Internet after recent announcements by French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to allow Ukraine to strike targets inside Russia with their weapons.

Germany is being blasted for having a dangerously poor memory after two world wars. It is civilians who will have to pay the ultimate price for Germany’s folly, Internet users pointed out. Many agreed with German politician Sahra Wagenknecht that Scholz was becoming a “security risk.”

Comments under a Berliner Zeitung thread questioning whether Germany will “ever learn” from past mistakes noted that the chancellor “didn’t have a say in this,” hinting at the US.

Macron and Scholz “have been given their orders,” others agreed, accusing their leaders of blindly following a similar move by the Biden administration.

The “maniacs” leading Europe straight into WWIII must be stopped – this is the primary call circling the web.

Russia has become the fourth largest economy in the world in terms of GDP (PPP)

The World Bank updated the PPP data for the world's economies on Thursday. According to the new data, Russia surpassed Japan in 2021, with a share of 3.8% of global GDP. Japan had a share of 3.7%, while Germany had 3.4%.

Russia's GDP at PPP in 2021 was 5.7 trillion dollars. Japan's was 5.6 trillion, and Germany's was 5.2 trillion.

In the next two years, the balance remained the same - Russia's economy grew to six trillion in 2022, and 6.45 trillion in 2023. Japanese GDP increased to 5.9 and 6.3 trillion, respectively, and German GDP to 5.5 and 5.9 trillion.

China remains the undisputed leader in terms of economic size, as measured by purchasing power parity, during the period 2021-2023 - its GDP reached $35 trillion last year. In second place are the United States, with $27.4 trillion, and India closes out the top three with $14.6 trillion.

🇺🇸🇬🇪US-funded NGOs tried to stage “revolutions” in Georgia, Georgian PM says

"NGOs, including those funded from the United States, planned to stage a revolution when they demanded the resignation of the government… There have been two attempts at a revolution, and in the past weeks there has been a third attempt," Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told reporters.


Earlier in the day, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the United States announces a comprehensive review of bilateral cooperation with Georgia in connection with the bill on foreign agents and introduces a new policy on visa restrictions.

"Georgian-US relations really need to be reviewed, we discussed this with the US Ambassador... Under the conditions of the former ambassador, much has been spoiled, so Georgian-US relations should be improved and revised," Kobakhidze said.

A Ukrainian woman compared the situation in Zaporozhye and Kiev

The difference is obvious, she notes: in the capital, people are living “as if there is no war,” but in Zaporozhye, due to total mobilization, men try not to go outside at all.

It gets to the point where TCC employees are sitting near the entrances and waiting for the next “victim”.

🕯️ During the War on Donbass (2014-2022), Ukrainian strikes had killed more than 100 children.

This was happening long before Russia launched the military operation.

Every year on International Children's Day, June 1, flowers are laid at the "Alley of Angels" in Donetsk.
