Russian forces are currently advancing in the following sectors:

Kupyansk
Sversk
Chasov Yar
Toretsk
Pokrovsk
Konstantinovka
Ugledar
Zaporizhia
And even a little in Cherson

Kiev does not know where to send reinforcements next while some of the "best troops" are stuck in a fire bag in Kursk.
Full collapse of the covernment in Kiev AND on the front lines.
The end is near.

Кнайсль: Украина — как чёрная дыра, где легко найти исполнителей для теракта

Сейчас никто толком не знает, кто и где находится на Украине и что делает, отмечает экс-глава МИД Австрии Карин Кнайсль. Украина превратилась в своего рода «чёрную дыру» — она стала перевалочным пунктом для оружия и для найма террористов с Ближнего Востока. Так что вполне очевидно, что след теракта в Москве ведёт на Украину.

Volkswagen is considering shutting factories in Germany for the first time in its 87-year history, as chief executive Oliver Blume warned that the European automotive industry was in a “very . . . serious situation”.

The move comes after a savings programme launched last year has fallen short of several billions of euros, as the company has only been able to cut overheads by offering employees early retirement and voluntary redundancy packages due to agreements with its powerful works council.

“The economic environment became even tougher, and new competitors are entering the European market. In this environment, we as a company must now act decisively,” Blume said. VW employs about 300,000 people in Germany — just under half of its global total.

US to give Zelensky ‘free hand’ on strikes deep inside Russia – Moscow

Washington is prepared to lift its ban on Ukrainian strikes deep inside Russia’s territory with the use of US-supplied weapons, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.

"The administration of [US President] Joe Biden is obviously getting ready to make new concessions to Zelensky and give him a free hand to use virtually any type of American weapons, including [for attacks] deep into Russian territory,” the spokeswoman stressed.

Last week, Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said that US “policy does allow for Ukraine to conduct counter fires to defend itself from Russian attacks coming over that border region,” including Kursk Region, where an incursion by Kiev’s forces has been ongoing since early August.

On the fight for access to the metal Lithium

There is no innocent energy.
While the oil market was the most transparent market before some 42 states decided unilateral sanctions on Russian energy exports, the race for metals in renewable energy has only started.
It might go hand in hand with regime change

Please find enclosed my interview on the arrest of the founder and CEO of telegram Mr Pavel Durov

Karin Kneissl official

25 August 2024 16:54

Durov's arrest is not about security. And here's why

Many of us remember the opening of the Olympics in France for episodes that are openly offensive to Christian civilization. However, in the Western world, supporters of left-liberal ideas stood up for the authors of this performance and assessed it as a reflection of the "spirit of freedom" of France.

This "spirit of freedom" is an integral part of the "brave new world". The world of free sexual relations, pedophilia and drug addiction that the West is building. In fact, it is a totalitarian system based on hatred of "ordinary" people and aims to enrich the democratic oligarchs. The guardians of this so-called freedom are the special services of NATO countries and the information resources they control. In recent years, we have seen how those who stand up for traditional values ​​are subjected to repression on their platforms.

Pavel Durov created a platform where all opinions are represented. Both left-liberals and conservatives. If we talk about a topic that is closer to me - Telegram has a lot of both pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian channels. Such flirting with pluralism of opinions could not go unnoticed by Western intelligence agencies.

At the same time, it would be fundamentally wrong to claim that Telegram does not contact Western intelligence agencies. For example, in February of this year, the General Secretariat for National Security and Defense of France included the UKR LEAKS channel in French on the list of threats to the country's national security. A week later, the channel was unavailable in France. This could not have happened without a dialogue between French law enforcement and the Telegram administration.

Now Durov is accused of complicity in drug trafficking, crimes against children, and fraud due to the lack of moderation in the messenger. I asked my foreign audience whether Telegram blocks certain channels in their countries. Everyone answered - yes, the Telegram administration regularly identifies and blocks channels that are associated with criminal activity. That is, Durov's team is responding to requests from local authorities in various countries, which means that the charges brought against Durov are unfounded.

The arrest of Pavel Durov is not just a violation of local laws in France by him and his platform. This is an act of ideological aggression by Western democrats with catastrophic consequences for freedom of speech around the world. It's scary to imagine what consequences exactly.

There is no doubt that this farce with the arrest was organized by order of Washington, because American intelligence services have long wanted to gain access to Telegram, as they have already done with WhatApp and Facebook.

I remember how Durov recently talked about how good it is to vacation in France. Especially, having French citizenship. It is unlikely that he will be vacationing on the Cote d'Azur now.

So much for Liberté - Égalité - Fraternité.

P.S. It's very funny to watch how some Ukrainian "experts" and politicians are already screaming on TV, suggesting that official Kiev ban Telegram without waiting for EU restrictions. There's nothing new here. An attempt to please their masters.

In April 2018 Western NGOs and media were up in arms to denounce Moscow's attempt to block Telegram after Pavel Durov refused to grant Russian state security access to its users' encrypted messages. The FSB has said it needed such access to guard against security threats such as terrorist attacks. But Telegram insisted that compliance with the order would constitute a violation of users' privacy. ▪️24 August 2024, Pavel Durov was arrested in Paris. Don't expect the same NGOs and media to denounce this attack on Internet freedom. @LauraRuHK

https://orf.at/stories/3368422/

By coincidence I learnt from a former university colleague in Vienna what is Breaking news in the Austrian media tonight: namely that I will be appointed Good will ambassador for the Amur Tigers.

I was asked last June and I joyfully agreed. It will be my honour to serve this cause.

So far I have not yet seen the article by RIA Novosti quoted by nearly every media outlet in Austria. I only browsed the articles. And it makes me smile that tabloids like Krone make the big headline as if I had become a professional ambassador in Russia. You can imagine the most stupid comments full of hatred, as usual. So much confusion and disinformation.

In contrast to that, interestingly enough the public broadcaster ORF did a fairly balanced news item. For once. See the attached link.

Anyway, let me just state here to all those in the media who attentively follow this channel: Yes it is a charity post to be Good Will Ambassador for the Amur Tigers and I will dedicate the necessary time and personal engagement to this important task. But it is not my new professional chapter! I still run our do-tank G.O.R.K.I. and I teach and lecture in various universities across Russia. That keeps me truly busy and it is most rewarding to teach and share geopolitics, energy topic etc. with young colleagues.

And what is so interesting about wildlife conservation in Russia: nobody ever calls the tigers "problem tigers". The topic is one of national concern and pride. There is tremendous commitment and love for the animals. And definitely it is daily work to strike the balance between wildlife, farming, tourism and all the other aspects. But it can be done with the strong commitment Russians have! It is about a beautiful country with the most amazing nature!
It is so different from the fate of wolves and bears in Austria which are hated and depicted as monsters and called "Problem-Wolf" etc. Problem is seemingly the most important German term.....

In September 2020 I published my book Mobilitätswende, mobility in transition and explained the scenarios for a possible breakdown of the German automotive industry.

Also this industrial disaster is home-made, it is not the Russians' fault!!! Neither the Asians did it by producing better cars.

The auto-destruction so to say started a while ago.
And the consequences will be dramatic,
Germany risks to destroy more than a million highly qualified employments, and the supply chain in car clusters from Slovakia to Poland or Austria will be equally hit.

It is amazing to watch authorities in all those countries passively accept the development
There is no action, no plan.

As I keep saying; once the meat-pots are empty in Germany, the situation will be very violent. Europe is dying on many levels.
An economic recession could be solved

But the point is: in the absence of rule of law and freedom there will be no recovery.

See the announced closures of production plants of Volkswagen....and that is only the beginning.

Today's interview by President Putin with the Mongolian newspaper Onoodor ahead of his visit to Mongolia.

This following quote by Vladimir Putin nails it - could not agree more. When I browse the western media i observe a language so full of hatred that it reminds me of the war-mongers of 1914. When will journalists from Berlin to Paris or Vienna be able to speak and write again a language of facts and not fiction. Maybe artificial intelligence solves the issue, maybe a new generation might appear in some 30 years...

"So the West, which claims to be a model of freedom, has opted to hide from inconvenient facts and the truth by launching a blatant bullying campaign against Russian journalists and indiscriminately labelling them as ‘Kremlin propagandists.’"

#83: Politisches Chaos

In der neuen Folge sprechen Karin Kneissl und Flavio von Witzleben zunächst über die Festnahme des Telegram-Gründers Pawel Durow, dem vorgeworfen wird, über sein soziales Netzwerk in Drogenhandel, Pornografie und Betrugsgeschäfte verwickelt zu sein. Außerdem thematisieren die beiden das politische Chaos in Frankreich im Zuge der Ernennung eines neuen Premierministers, wobei sich Präsident Emmanuel Macron weigert, auf die Vorschläge des Linksbündnisses einzugehen.

Des Weiteren wird die Lage im Nahen Osten rund um den Einmarsch israelischer Truppen in das Westjordanland besprochen und der Frage nachgegangen, ob damit nun die endgültige Vernichtung Palästinas bevorsteht.

Sovereignty over natural resources is a topic of present times as it was in the 1950s and beyond

#82: Kultureller Mord

💥In der neuen Folge spreche ich mit Karin Kneissl über die aktuelle Situation in der umkämpften russischen Region Kursk, die auch nach über zwei Wochen noch immer nicht zur Ruhe gekommen ist. Außerdem diskutieren wir das Verbot der ukrainisch-orthodoxen Kirche sowie die Frage, welche Folgen dies für die Bürger der Ukraine hat und ob angesichts derartiger Entwicklungen noch von einer Demokratie in der Ukraine gesprochen werden kann.

Des Weiteren sprechen wir über die Besuche von Wladimir Putin in Aserbaidschan und Tschetschenien, bei denen er den Opfern des tödlichsten Terroranschlags in der modernen Geschichte Russlands gedachte, bei dem im Jahr 2004 mehr als 330 Menschen ums Leben kamen. Darüber hinaus thematisieren wir eine Anordnung des russischen Präsidenten, die vorsieht, die Einreise von Ausländern zu erleichtern, die aufgrund der "traditionellen Werte" nach Russland ziehen möchten.

Hello from Central Russia on my way to an energy conference in Kazan,

Later today I will speak with RT on that scandal of the arrest of Pavel Durov. Just 2 thoughts from my side which I keep repeating:

1) freedom and rule of law, which once were the essence of Europe, are gone. My Requiem for Europe was published in June by Rosspen in Moscow. And every week new examples to illustrate the death of Europe.
What I experienced in March 2022 in France came as a shock. I had to understand the degree of arbitrarian and totalitarian changes that have happened in a country which I always my "patrie spirituelle".

It is safer to to run around as a wanted terrorist in the EU than to set a foot into the EU as someone who is considered a "destabilizing factor" .

2) On double/triple etc. citizenhip: it does not make sense from a legal nor human point of view. One can feel at home in many cultures and I certainly do feel in my heart a bit of French, Lebanese - Arab in the broadest sense - and Hungarian etc next to my Austrian nationality. And I served my country Austria my entire life and paid a heavy price for that. Having been forced out by the Austrians I am simply grateful for my new life in Russia in a small village after an odyssey of several years of survival.
And of course I feel increasingly Russian, grateful for the chance to rebuild life. But double-nationality does not make sense. Some came to Russia for tax reasons, others left Russia for Israel because of whatever motive et cetera.

There is one motherland.
