  1. I am so glad to see she is so widely accepted across all communities in New Zealand. A light in our dark 2020. Stand by her New Zealand, she will need you the next few years!
    276
  2. I like to believe that the majority of Germans are not generally against immigrants. Many are against people who do not want to integrate, culturally and socially. This is a different subject that needs to be differently addressed.
    246
  3. Saying this being an internal affair is foolish. Indonesia is 100 % right, I applaud them. Now I know who will be the leader in SEA in the medium term.
    232
  4. Turkey's reputation is in tatters
    223
  5. If a huge country feels threatened by a tiny fly, that says more about the huge country than many words. For those who do not know, it is worth a visit. It is not a country with Disneylands and drunk beach parties. It has beautiful old towns and nature, and it is a safe country. They are good people, too, and they ARE brave, indeed.

  6. This is only the beginning of the Chinese supremacy politics.
    172
  7. If a doctor needs to be told not to use unsterile syringes, then this person should not be a doctor at all.
    166
  8. I doubt the Prophet would be offended by humans.
    165
  9. "Millions of American people who live in a parallel universe of facts ..." Same as in Europe. Fascists are coming back. Recognize them: - abstruse theories of Democratic parties being socialist and dictatorial - shockingly repellant to what is reality, existing in their own universe - many of them ready for violence China's CCP laughs their arxe off when watching this things happening in the West.
    154
  10. Having extramarital affairs never have been the true reason for removing Chinese officials.
    146
  11. Every decision he takes he rides himself a little deeper into the shxt.
    130
  12. His body and face are stiff. He moves like 95 year old man. He has a thick layer of make-up on his face. He should smile at the people, but he looks worried and scared.
    125
  13. Prison for the poor ... presidency for the wealthy
    92
  14. Dear Mr. Lee "Freedom is priceless" is the most important sentence you said! Expecting freedom from a dictator is a contradiction.
    86
  15. Being diplomatic or even giving in to avoid escalation is seen as being weak by Russia and China. That's what everyone should have learned by now.
    82
  16. I can still understand "We do not want to get involved into this war, direct or indirect", but from there on he leaves me puzzled.
    78
  17.  @felipe-vibor  and if Ukraine does not want to be with Russia, so be it
    76
  18. Not acceptable, absolutely not
    75
  19. If I was Trump I would silently start packing my suitcase. This is not the end, as he said. It will come even worse.
    72
  20. China had been offered the hated "Western" vax not only once but several times, Ms. Gurdasani. However I agree, generally medicines and vaccines should be made much more widely available if needed. For example, if the WHO declares a pandemic, the affected areas should be supplied regardless rich or poor.
    69
  21. To me it is more worrying the CDU still getting so many votes after 16 years letting Germany down by doing nothing, and sitting all problems out. They are the root cause of many problems with migration and missing urgent infrastructure reforms. Devastating ... the short memory of the voter.
    65
  22. Be patient, Ukraine! Let them do the mistake first, not you. Even if you could shoot back for your defence, by right. But not yet, please. Record these things and let the world know. Previously I had understanding for Mr. Putins position, but over the years he has changed. Mr. Putin should go now. It would be better for Russia.
    57
  23. No, migration is not the most important theme for the next years. Repairing the infrastructure, modernisation of the industry, improving the education system and the climate change are. With all these issues the CDU has failed, plus the migration.
    56
  24. Botswana is one of the very few African countries who have a functioning administration, and constant improvement for everyone. It is time the world recognises this and welcomes Botswana into the world community, even though it is a relatively small country. If they say there is a problem, then this IS NOT A JOKE.
    49
  25. Kinzhal is a modified ballistic missile only. It can reach supersonic speeds, but is far away from hypersonic. Also, its manoeuvrability is very limited. Russia has taken a mouthful and is choking now on it, as on many other issues. What a pity country with a pity leader.
    48
  26.  @CharliMorganMusic  Insufficient training, poor personal equipment, outdated tanks with bad technology, rusty shells, insufficient supplies, bad logistics, lack of planning, lack of motivation and increasing frustration with the soldiers, unnecessary brutalities that further demotivated many, a government that follows thinking structures and motives of the 80s.
    43
  27. Vladimir, please invite Kim as well. Best friends together forever!
    42
  28. And at 91.6 % efficacy it is the far superior offer over the Chinese vaccine.
    42
  29. Sounds bad, but under German law it is permitted building a factory in parallel to the approval process. A miss by Tagesschau to mention this.
    41
  30. Good luck and all the best for next week in the south, Ukraine.stay strong! All Europe is with you.
    41
  31. This is unbearable.
    39
  32. The key learnings from the current situation are: - Do not have dependencies with oppressive regimes, whatever colour, wherever on the globe. - Seek for stronger economical ties with countries who are standing on a similar political platform. - Keep a minimum level of core capabilities in the own house.
    38
  33.  @christopherellis2663  Once a US Ambassador said, when Rama 9 dies the Thai people will have to face some unpleasant truth.
    38
  34. DW deserves praise for keeping us updated on this topic.
    38
  35. That wet market they keep on mentioning did not sell bats, according to my friend who lives there. I thought that's meanwhile well known, Mr. Williams? Pangolins yes, but not bats, he said. The only place that had horseshoenose bats in Wuhan was that lab, there is no natural population in Hubei.
    38
  36.  Ghost 3 Delta  the last sentence should have told that I am anything than communist. But it did not. Continue playing with your swastikas.
    37
  37.  @SungazerDNB  Many people of no idea about these facts. The Netherlands is a dot on the map in comparison to Russia. Russia has about 8 times the population. And what's worst for them, 60 % is exporting of oil, gas and coal, no value adding industries to speak of. They believe Asia will jump in. The EU has 10 times the GDP of Russia. Every day of war costs USD 950 million. Who would last longer? But they have told Russian people that Russia is self-sufficient. The next new car announced by Lada has no ABS, no catalyser, no seatbelt tensioners, no airbags. The next generation then will be a la Fred Flintstone, driven by feet.
    37
  38. Full of bots. That does not make sense anymore, DW.
    36
  39.  @thekerbeyhouse1931  Learn to understand Putin's thinking. For him only exist weak and strong. To him the US seemed to be weakest after they pulled out of Afghanistan, the EU seemed to be done after Brexit, and the Nato only a Paper tiger after even Marcon said it should be finished. So: The best moment.
    34
  40. Taxi drivers do not accept nurses as passengers, people step out of the lift when a nurse enters, or they ask the nurse to walk the stairs, landlords cancel rental contracts because neighbours complained that there is a nurse in the house, children shout "virus" after a nurse ... Is that humanity?
    33
  41. Polish people are Europeans with a big heart! Thank You, Poland!
    33
  42. Ahmadiyya: - The armed fight for Islam is rejected - Jihad is prohibited - Other religions are tolerated - Leaving or converting to another religion will not be punished. So, guys, why do you want to fight this orientation of Islam?
    33
  43.  @gdiwolverinemale2745  Putin HAS lost already
    31
  44. He's bankrupt, he is getting more money from dumb people's donations doing this.
    31
  45. Why don't you say why you think so?
    30
  46. You MUST help to bring these figures down. Germany can get out of it with a few bruises, if the pandemic can be controlled over the entire winter. If there will be a second lockdown, all the money spent on the first lockdown is wasted, and Germany will get into a serious economic crisis.
    29
  47. Dear Ms. and Mr. Butkevych, I wish you with all my heart that your son will return healthy soon, and also all the other sons of the Ukraine.
    26
  48. I would like to say the following to all the people in Ukraine: Some of the decisions took longer than desirable, and Germany may have looked like a mess from your view. But I would like to highlight, this was not really so. Yes, we are often slow, we are sometimes troublesome, and we are what we call ourselves: Bedenkenträger! We are people who always have one more doubt, and then come up with another worry. However, I firmly believe the "internal" discussion period was very necessary, and that it has brought even more people into the same boat to firmly support your country. Germany was standing firmly on your side from the very first second, and you will see the full support of a friend. I have not the slightest doubt that your country will have a great future for you and for your children. Together we will build a good Europe.
    26
  49. Honest, I could not even listen 'til the end. It repels me how this man is winding around like a slithery worm.
    26
  50. Scientists said this would last about 4 to 5 years. I remember Dr. Drosten speaking about it, for example. And with regard to helping poorer countries, how about holding the pharma giants more responsible? And what about all multinationals? Earning money by selling the junk food, overpriced phone cards, or pumping away their groundwater ... but doing nothing to help?
    25
  51. @Rune Børsjø They might not have 18.3 % but they do have strong growth. I do however think that money is not everything.
    25
  52. Electing a non-democratic party is not democratic behaviour. That is exactly how the NSDAP started.
    25
  53. Did you ever look how many % of US GDP that is? And which countries in Africa (for example) US businesses makes tidy profits?
    25
  54. (15) Aliexpress shipping $ 0.20
    25
  55.  dannnsss8034  You got that right. Doublespeak and doublethink.
    23
  56. They are not trained for anything in the modern world.
    23
  57. Mr. Zhang, do not feel guilty, it is not your fault. You did the things to your best knowledge. It is the fault of those who did not tell the truth from the beginning, and all their helpers.
    22
  58.  @hape3862  Absolutely. Germany is a country of 82 Million people. Mr. Habeck managed to almost stop gas supplies from Russia. At the end of 2022 it was at about 2%, from the former 60%. We were told there is a price to it, but it would "normalize" within a few years time. And the German industry is against Ruxxia gas. Who by any senses would make themselves dependent on this again?
    22
  59.  @kimjung2442  I studied all Chinese history from about 1600. I know where all their inferior complexes and problems stem from. Even Mr. Xi still behaves a lot like like an emperor. It was and is a country with strong hierarchical structures and fascist leadership. Taiwanese would be 100 % unable to settle with it again.
    22
  60.  @VFella  They say "The West", but the mean USA
    22
  61. He slammed the door with a loud bang. How long does it take for you to hear that bang?
    22
  62. 5:16 Watch his reaction to the question if he thinks information was hidden, and his answer using the children example.
    22
  63. I do accept that Germany has kissed China's rear side so much that it was shameful. Shameful for me to watch, too. I was saying that since ages. But I do not think that Germany was bad or unfair to India. If so, tell me where. Produce and create, bring products to the market - we will all buy them. India's Pharma Industry has actually international standard, Royal Enfield has so much improved, BMW produces in India, do more! But a war is the last thing the world needs now after the pandemic.
    21
  64. She is a scientist from her background, she understands the scientists and can speak on the same level with them. I think you do hear that.
    21
  65. Same like Xi. The west the west the west whine whine whine yawn
    21
  66. The only thing we know for sure is, the war has not been ended within 24 h.
    21
  67.  @HvdHaghen  It's been blasted, too.
    20
  68. Good interview, good questions. DW at the top!
    20
  69. I am glad to see that Germany does not put its resources in wars and fighting but in helping. And I want to see more of that.
    20
  70. He is on office since Oct 2023. He has done nothing. Same for his predecessor, Mr. Odor. EU had given them 3 years to change their gas purchasing. Continuation obtaining gas from Russia may be cheaper for now, but will be tremendously expensive for Slovakia and the EU on the longer run.
    19
  71.  @birdymaniac  They do
    19
  72. So what is the problem with this reporting? You know I really hate it that so many people nowadays just make blunt statements with not providing any basis, reasoning, background. I think it would be right to delete such posts. They do not bring anything onto the table for a discussion. They are only meant to degrade the another party.
    19
  73. Free Trade according to China: Let us freely sell everything everywhere. Free Trade of the world into China: Here, I slap 60 % import tax on it.
    19
  74. He's got no clue. As an example, he mentioned that Europe has free-flowing community transmission policy. Or, as you correctly said, he's turning away to mention Taiwan as THE role model. Taiwan people enjoy more freedom than most countries in the world, BECAUSE of their successful policies. Yet he mentions tight restrictions. He's a professor here in Singapore, paid by the university. Hard to swallow, right?
    18
  75. The Ukrainian forces have proven they can operate these more complex systems with high efficiency. They were successful to wipe out all doubts and will get more of these now.
    18
  76.  @UVGardener  China is destabilizing itself most efficiently at this time. And you from the 50cents army have nothing else to do than talking nonsense.
    18
  77. That will be a happy winter season to look forward too.
    18
  78. Tell me who are your friends and I tell you who you are
    18
  79. Unfortunately there are horrible atrocities reported done by Azerbaijan forces. I had watched several video documentations to the subject. The people there it seems are not enemies, they want peace and normal life, just like the Ukraine people.
    18
  80. The entire Europe MUST speak with one voice here: "Do not step over this border!"
    18
  81. As for Italy, there were first reports about a mysterious lung disease by mid of November 2019. Remember that the Lombardy has 100,000 people from China. Therefore, by the time the crisis was identified, Italy had already thousands severely ill people limping to hospitals, while Germany had a few only, and they were much younger and the infections were still fresh. That is certainly reflected in the death rate. In 2 -3 weeks the death rate in Germany will be higher. But it pays back now, that even after some painful cuts Germany still spent significant resources on its health system. Do not listen to the Germans. They always complain, no matter what. The German health system is among the top in the world, even though improvement is always possible.
    18
  82.  @didntwantahandle  I do understand why Gamaleya is urgently seeking partnerships. Not many in the world would buy it. And free ... it's not. If you look at their data, they have actually done a very good job. It was a mistake to "approve" it in August already, without these data. That caused distrust.
    18
  83. Welcome Ukraine! Lets work together for a better and peaceful Europe.
    18
  84. We had overcome worse crisis than that. Better work more or pay higher prices than living under the rule of a fascist again.
    17
  85. @Right 2 Build Russia is not in an economic situation being able to lose this people. The countries GDP is about the size of Italy, but with double the number of people.
    17
  86.  @weirdarthistorian  If there were sexual activities these women did not agree to, then it is rape and it must be brought to justice. Many women consented to these parties and did not say no when things went it's course, but they may have regretted afterwards. "Actually I did not want a quickie with that sweaty guy in the 10 minutes concert break, that is not the star I thought of."
    17
  87.  @raj75543  You did not listen to the video, or you did not comprehend what was said. The Ukraine has let the Russian army move forward slowly. Meter by meter they had to conquer, under heavy losses on equipment and about 30 % of their men. It is a well known war tactic to wear out an opponent who is stronger by numbers, and then hit back. Europe has 4 times the population of Russia, 3 times the military budget, and 10 times the GDP. Who do you think will run out of resources? Every day Putin fights this war, Russia will become poorer. He will be sitting in China in a few weeks time, or hidden in a cave. He had lost by the time he was not able to conquer Kiev. The big Russian army.
    17
  88. It seems to me this is what the Afghan people chose, at least many.
    17
  89.  @Liboch  BS, bro. The German Industry leaders voiced up several times asking for the government to set policies and rules. The previous government did sorely miss doing this. All what the Industry wants is clarity and guidelines that apply to everyone. They all know China has shown it's not the wooly fluffy soft toy, but a quite bity dog. The way how they treat foreign companies inside China is one example. What they often do to poorer nations another, i.e. their financing wars.
    17
  90. He is legally not allowed to take it. In Germany it will be handled after the rules, which say the needy and those at risk first. He says it's not even really about him, he wants to keep his company at 100 % working level, therefore he is negotiating for an exception.
    16
  91. Last spring when Germany listened to her and Dr. Drosten, the country was the biggest nation with good efficiency in pandemic management. After people switched to those Querdenker and right wing views, everything went down the drain with neck breaking speed.
    16
  92. The vast majority of rich people nowadays came to their wealth through inheritance, not through hard work or entrepreneurship. This fact strongly suggest taxing assets.
    16
  93. If you try to be friend to everyone, then you will be friend to nobody.
    16
  94. The Problem is not a German problem. Similar issues exist in the US, the UK, Poland, Italy, Hungary ...
    16
  95. I am seeing Germany slowly sliding into fascism.
    16
  96. I am impressed by the Ukrainian people! So much suffering ... and they still keep their heads up, help eachother, and keep the country going. Please DW, continue showing us these positive examples. I think it helps us as well.
    16
  97.  @ycl9234  Many of us know all this, many of us are against many of US foreign policies. There are protests against their actions, for example against the Irak war, as one example. Germany even voted officially against it and from then on was removed from their list of befriended countries. And many of us still do not agree with what China's CCP does.
    16
  98. He is on office since Oct 2023. He has done nothing. Same for his predecessor, Mr. Odor. EU had given them 3 years to change their gas purchasing. Continuation obtaining gas from Russia may be cheaper for now, but will be tremendously expensive for Slovakia and the EU on the longer run.
    16
  99.  @jeremytine  Exactly. The Russian reduced and then cut the gas supplies months before already. So Germany started thinking about contractual fines. Anyway, done and over. Lesson learned.
    15
  100. Exactly. In 50 years the people will call our generation criminals for that. Can the Mars be moved into a Orbit similar to the earth orbit?
    15
  101. Get the funds back and then focus on those who want to work with fair conditions.
    15
  102. I do not think it's on purpose, she is simply not an expert on the subject, unknowledgable. DW is a relatively small station with tiny funds, as compared to the other media. In Fox the host would have interrupted the European Space Agency representative for a couple of times, and cut his words. Generally seen DW has no direct agenda, except promoting Germany in the world. I know you guys are used to US and British media, but DW is not like them. What I don't like is always these animated pictures, there no much real footage. China complains about the world media not reporting about it ... but who wants to see animated movies?
    15
  103.  @alvzcizzler  the puppet player behind ... not
    15
  104. BS. They didn't have free-flowing transmission spreading policy in Europe. Europe has limited tolerance policy. Taiwan is absolutely an example. The people there enjoy more freedom, and their economy is one of the few showing growth this year. Taiwan should be heading a world pandemic strategies task force. Not the WHO.
    15
  105. A much better President than most Americans think
    15
  106.  @RodolphosTechchannel  tell me how the Ukraine is equally to blame.
    15
  107. I concur. It is more difficult for Germany, who started 2 times catastrophic wars against Russia. But now it is time to do more. We should do everything to end this crazy and useless war asap. I am sure the Germans will also understand some hardship for some time, until the Russian fascist government has been de-installed.
    15
  108.  @siddharthgoyal4008  That seems to be a smaller problem, in comparison to starting a redundant war with Ukraine and killing opponents.
    15
  109.  @jeckjeck3119  I call him the "greatest Fuhrer of all time".
    15
  110. The US and the UK are the only producing countries who do not share with others as of now, or nothing in meaningful quantities. Even China and India share more.
    15
  111. Thank you Dov! You are doing your extremely relevant work. Don't get irritated by the haters. Your great-grandma is still full of life. She has so much to give, she is an important person.
    14
  112.  @ningthoujamelvis6103  It's not unsafe, and it does provide protection against serious illness. However, its efficacy is too low.
    14
  113. I wonder what DW thinks about the "quality" of comments.
    14
  114. I want Germany to strengthen ties with democratic Taiwan, and other democratic countries in Asia.
    14
  115.  @dinglshingle  In my opinion, the US has not the most democratic system on earth. Your election system is very flawed, starting from a person needing to have enormous budgets to be a candidate.
    14
  116. 2:36 No, that's not the reason for the disappointing result. The reason for the disappointing phase 3 result is, CureVac used unmodified molecules, while BioNTech and Moderna use modified molecules. That was the ambitious plan to make it possible using a super-low dosage and reduce the side effects even more. Unfortunately, this did not work too well, as we hear.
    14
  117.  @КириллПерваков-м4э  You do not hear about a lot of things. That exactly is the problem.
    14
  118. You are absolutely right. I do not think that Germany will do anything like this without Europe, and in particular France. This should be another field where Europe has to develop together and WITH consulting eachother. I think we all learned that lesson.
    14
  119. Everybody who does not understand something and draws his own intellectually limited conclusions believes that it's the others who don't understand.
    14
  120. It is not they do have valid points.
    13
  121. They are scared that these girls will overtake them on their bikes, with their cleverness, and with their will.
    13
  122.  Ali Ahmad  The world says: People who keep stuck in the old times will always suffer.
    13
  123.  @rogerjohnson2562  Tim Sebastian is one of the best interviewers globally. All his interviews are interesting, and reveal new views onto things. This one is lesser conflict loaded but nevertheless still high level. Remember Tim Sebastian at DW.
    13
  124.  @ayi3455  There is no solution.
    13
  125. 1 : 0 for Habeck!
    13
  126. The US also responded cleverly. The director of the CDC said: Regardless the word the WHO prefers to use we are preparing for a pandemic. Don't take me word by word but that was it in a nutshell. I am not always a friend of the US, but here they are taking things the right way. Translated it means, that this organization has lost all credibility everywhere in the world.
    13
  127.  @vitigaymer1053  you also believe in ghosts and not walking under ladders, right?
    13
  128.  @Mrac-zz8vh  no
    13
  129. He is calm, and usually lets his minsters do the job, without pushing himself into the limelight. I like this governing style.
    13
  130.  @frry6700  So what is the right way to conduct an interview? CCP Style? Hand out a paper with all the answers and 15 minutes to memorize.
    13
  131.  @jonathanthink5830  I have lived in China. Wealthly see having a secret wife or mistress as their status symbol, just like having a fancy car. In the block where I lived in Guangzhou were several women with kid who lived off the money of a man who came only once a week or so. Everyone knew about it.
    13
  132. What do you know how the Iran would be like without those sanctions? Iran is a country with educated people, and strong modern women. They are forward thinking and would love to be a normal part of the world. Even the men do support women who want to do a job and decide about theirs lives, at least most of them. The Iran government is a bunch of stone-age, semi-senile men who are in stark contrast to what the real people are. They do not represent their population, or only a small part of it.
    13
  133. Give it all to the UK. They love it.
    13
  134. "We have not started anything yet in the Ukraine" is clearly a message to the Russians. Of course, he knows that we know about the massacre that is going on there. However, the Russian people think this is a tender peace mission. He is preparing them, and also for blaming the west for even more brutality.
    12
  135. Now we know that. Never do any of such business with dictatorial regimes. Never ever, even if the price is too attractive.
    12
  136. No. And I had seen worse but elsewhere. Crippled people, really made to cripples in Russian prison. 20kg weight loss and 3 teeth missing can not be seen as hard mistreatment there. How would one expect that people understand what really happens there in Russia, if they do not show the full truth?
    12
  137.  @twittwit8654  Saying this is an internal affair is foolish.
    12
  138. Most of us are shocked about such a person still to be considered a presidential candidate. Even if only half of all was true. Just what he said about women was enough to disqualify him forever in Germany, and that's not even a crime.
    11
  139. No. But if Hungary continues like this, they might have to leave the EU and join the Soviet Onion.
    11
  140. The latest surprise: China claims the Mt. Everest
    11
  141. I concur. Germany had tried for 50 years to be a real friend to China, and that not only for business reasons, but is also out of cultural admiration. Deng Xiaoping was one of the best friends of the late chancellor Helmut Schmitt. He was one of the last foreigners Mr. Deng saw, before he went very sick and died. The same applies to Lee Kwan Yew from Singapore. Both were not normal political friends, but real friends. All 3 were real leaders and clever men. Mr. Schmitt had a deep understanding of China and wanted that Germany is a friend not only for business and money. But the current Chinese government does not know anymore what are friends.

  142.  @NeanderthalReports  whatever political believe you have, settle down, support the new president, give him a chance. If then he does bad then you still can complain and protest. You owe this to your country.
    11
  143. Yep, don't understand them. They take serious what he does not even have, a serious, coherent plan for anything.

  144. Putin lives in a castle in the air. People such as Shoigu have build that castle. Prigozhin is a madman but he lives with his men.

  147. Your democracy has ended somewhere in the 80s.
    11
  148. This, and accelerating the exit from fossil energies. We need to accept a certain time with some rough waters and also higher prices. But in the end it will be good for all of us.

  149. It is a fascist government, not a communist on.

  150. DW it is important and good that you bring these things but please ... consider not doing these 50 second clips. I know it is modern now, but if watching a 3 to 5 minute report that at least highlight a bit of background is already too much for some, then I suggest forget it. Then probably we should not have news and documentaries anymore.

  154.  @geddinixan255  I suggest swapping the 20,000 elephants with the 20% Afd voters.
    10
  155.  @PropaneWP  Because Putina said countless times, the precondition for peace talks is that Ukraine dismissing the areas Russia invaded. About 20% of Ukraine. With this conditions, these are not peace talks then, but a surrender. Do you understand that?
    10
  156. Can you somehow imagine how the voters would have responded? Germany was comparably quick to solve the issue, albeit at cost. But there are several other countries which have not done anything, even yet, 3 years later.
    10
  157. Nonsense. I prefer to say something positive about India rather than something negative. I know nobody who is salty saying something positive about India, it makes me rather sad you think that way. There are many intelligent people in India. For example, some of the best lawyers are Indian people. But ... India has been ruled badly, and you should better help to improve instead of building walls.

  158. I am not justifying the atrocities Israel commits. However, we can see what one can reach with consequent actions. Europe needs to learn some.

    10
  163.  @jornzander1285  That is right. It is not so much about sitting in a cold house. It is the industrial production which would suffer heavy losses. These dependencies are much more difficult than freezing my butt next winter. The assessment of the Op is not wrong. However, Italy and Austria for example also purchase Russian oil and gas. It is not only Germany. I still have a hard time fully blaming the previous German governments for trying with diplomacy and trade. But I certainly acknowledge this was a mistake which needs to be 100 % corrected. We all must rethink relationships to dictatorships, all dictatorships regardless their colour or location, and have no business with oppressive regimes in regard to essential supplies.

  164.  @Flammewar  I agree. It is not the usual party hanky-panky. As well, Merz has to learn he is not alone.

  168. First act of the drama: Israel and the US buying huge quantities of the Biontech/Pfizer vaccine by offering double the prices. Biontech/Pfizer alters quantities to the EU. Second act of the drama: Astrazeneca happily delivers full quantities to the UK, and more, while altering the quantities to the EU by 60%. And you expect that Europe will say nothing? You even blame the EU for nationalism?

    10
  172. The decision if any country should join the Nato should be entirely based on considerations if this inclusion will be good for the Nato as a whole, and useful for the country which wants to join. It should NOT be based on doubts that are unique to one single other member, and particular not, if these objections in itself are subject to criticism and based on questionable politics of that country. That is not how a Union could work.
    10
  173. Twitter I don't know, but Youtube has many Wumaos working for them. A lot of staff in San Diego is Chinese, as well an estimated 2000 Chinese online. If a fraction of them report against certain videos, it will be removed, regardless what it is.
    10
  174.  @marioformosa4259  Germany has sanctioned, but not enough. And delivered weapons, but could do more. However, please rest assured that there are things happening that you don't get to know, because they are not supposed to be known by Putina.

  175. All the Baltic States seem to have very reasonable and clear, straightforward talking politicians. We may not always agree with them, but there is no washi-washi, which is a great relief from the norm.

  179. Who bought Russian hardware has a big problem, now that the world know it's not worth much in a real war situation.

  180.  @zurie35  that is one I was quite shocked about. Hundred thousands of houses if not millions. They are everywhere, entire cities build and empty ... for the future as I was told. But then, when I took a closer look, most of them were silently crumbling apart. I have no clue what they want to archive with that. Neither do Chinese people, I guess.
    9
  181. Same for his predecessor, Mr. Odor. EU had given them 3 years to change their gas purchasing. Continuation obtaining gas from Russia may be cheaper for now, but will be tremendously expensive for Slovakia and the EU on the longer run.

  182. That is Chinese character.

  189.  @mori1bund  Exactly. So the want to have at least some points regarding climate and environment included done now. Very understandable to me, and in opposite to the opinion of most here.

  192.  @prisonmike7198  I know what you mean, it would make you feel very glad if Turkey could. Germany is good in Biotechnology and he has made a couple of smart decisions, really. According to Wikipedia he and his wife are one of the richest people in Germany ... and he travels with the bicycle to company. Compared him and the way he speaks to the big mouthed, marketing fluff shouting US top managers. It does not matter where he originates from, we just should take him as a good example. Do find something you can do with dedication, and be good at it.

  193. That's what they are there for.

  194. There are many differences, mostly in regard to traditions and the cultural background. But in practical daily life we are very similar. Engineering, construction, the valuing of quality, punctuality are some examples.
    9
  195. Democracy is a bad form of governing a country, but it is the best we have so far. This is about the world not falling into the hands of dictatorial regimes such as Russia, Belarus, North Korea and China.
    9
  196. When I was in school, the teacher every day accused us we were the noisiest and most chaotic class. I talked to the neighbour class and found he was saying the same to them. We do not need such business leader in Europe.
    8
  197.  @Red1Green2Blue3  No need, everything is perfectly clear and makes absolute sense. Cambodia is an example of a country that is already functionally owned by China. Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan and the Philippines are one step away from it. Australia pulled the emergency brake handle at 5 minutes before 12. We know how their relationship with China developed afterwards.

  198.  @richardandersen5813  The main decision factor should be, if the country is a systemic partner or an autocratic, oppressive system.

  200. Mr. Lukashenko is finished anyways, he's done. It's just a matter of time. The longer it takes then more people will probably die. PS: Supported by China. Note, how hysterically China always yells "Don't mix with our internal affairs!".
    8
  201. Thank you, Marina. I am very glad you are at DW. Your analysis is highly appreciated.
    8
  202. It is really not an unreasonable expectation to get it tested and data peer reviewed.
    8
  203. I agree. This is so sad for his wife, his mother, his family and friends. Nothing will bring him back to them. But his work and death is not wasted. He will live on in the minds of people, which is nothing Putina can kill. This poor man does not know what he did, but soon he will.

  204. Around the half mark I did not want to watch anymore. It is painful. I am happy I did. People, listen to his answers in the end part. Thank you Mr. Walker, that was good!

  205.  @happymelon7129  if you have 1.4 billion people, sure there are 200 or 300 Million who can afford. That is still a huge market. Easy enough for you to understand?

  206.  @Thor.Jorgensen  The problem in Germany are not the politicians. It's the people.

  207.  lucabaki  I would not consider the US a free democracy anymore now. The entire political system is already very right wing, and the money rules everything. Note, I am not saying all Americans are bad or something.
    8
  208. When was that? The earlier Kuaomingtan regime was not interested in pursuing this. The later authoritarian regime was fiercely opposed to it. And the DPP is opposed to it for at least as long as the people themselves are opposed to it. Many Taiwanese would not mind keeping the status quo, not because they don't want an independent Taiwan, but for the sake of peace with China. However, after Hong Kong, if it comes worse Taiwan would not be a relatively easy prey as Hong Kong was.

    8
  211.  @MROJPC  I believe you are wrong. They took months to conquer the area, under heavy losses. Then Ukraine stormed it in 10 days. It is a well recognized war strategy to wear out a massively bigger enemy. Let them, give in meter by meter, and then when you see they have settled ... snap!
    8
  212. Either that. Or the voter is mad. So what do you think?
    8
  213. A highlight interview on DW, Mr. Sebastian. Brilliant, relevant questions! This is what journalism should do.
    8
  214.  @Moondancemilly  Don't talk nonsense. Finland is one of the most pleasant to live countries in the world (aside from the cold), may be THE most pleasant. The Finish people are very well-behaved and all of them enjoyed quality education. Their behaviour and culture is 100 % based on European values. Most are very relaxed people, it is difficult to make a Finnish person angry. Despite being European, they still have a strong national identity. Try to conquer Finland, and you will learn what that means. For such a small country they achieved a lot, for example in sport, education and standard of living. They are the proof that you can connect well with other countries, be integrated, and still be a person of your country. And BTW I consider the president Mr. Niinisto as one of the best politicians in Europe.

  215. I like your nickname. Religion does not belong into politics, yep.

  216. From the very beginning there was criticism on the efficacy and the way how Astrazenica presented their data. Several EU countries also found their data regarding elderlies insufficient.
    8
  217. This interview is hard to listen to. He is telling us about a totally different perception regarding many issues in the world, it is a testimonial of the different reality / Galaxy that China lives in. BTW. Here in Asia are many voices demanding to end NATO.

  218.  @lattehour  By end of next year it will be done, not 5 years. 5 years to ditch all gas for energy.

  220. In regard to TikTok, India seems smarter than we are.
    8
  221.  @skazka3789  That is a response that would come from China. At least you give your reasoning. The travel schedule had been available since almost 3 months. Why should the Taiwan government cancel a trade agreement that has been in place since several years? Is anybody in Taiwan against trade with China? I think nobody in the world actually is, not even your virtual main enemy, the US. To my opinion, this report sheds lights on both sides. On one side the intention of the KMT to get back into power. On the other side how important that visit might be for China. No more, no less.
    8
  222.  @walther2492 Of course he knows it's not so. However, this is for internal use. Russians are used to nonsense.

  223. It is one of our biggest trading partners. You can't just turn your back. All you can do is making Europe stronger.

  224.  @GraniteInTheFace  are you serious? Singapore communist?

  225. It started with Willy Brand already. Germany has done well in foreign politics. I am not saying perfect, that's not possible. But pretty well.

  226.  @alexlazar4738  Is that also what they tell you? And the planes? You will buy "Long March", and "Great Leader"? Don't forget to learn their anthem, too. Most of you will soon have no money to buy a car at all. May be that's also why the new Lada is so cheap. Plan for the future of Russia.

  227.  @traceymarshall5886  Keep your Ryan. And your Ed Sheeran. I want the "old" airlines back with reliable schedules, and fixed prices. Not companies who think about standing seats and charging for toilets in planes, and customers are treated like lost luggage.

  228.  @traceymarshall5886  I see a similar distorted view onto the world as the Brits had with their Brexit. Go your ow way with your Ryan and your Banks.

  231.  @ekaterinasabanova1860  I believe you. I observed there is a huge difference in between the younger generation and the older. And, if a person is able to understand a foreign language such as English, German, etc. Russia has everything, educated people, vast most beautiful nature, natural resources, you could be as wealthy as Europe, or wealthier.

  232. It seems more and more the question is changing to: How much longer can the Russian army hold the pressure up? Not too long anymore, it seems.

  235. How come Ivan can flood social media everywhere? But EU and US media are not allowed in Russia?

  236. This Farmer's Organisation is an organisation traditionally tending to their big and wealthy farmers. Those who are not living on the edge, but for example have extensive fleets and would have to fork out more.

  237. You detected the sole intention for all this hype. From the opening celebration onwards. Every publicity is good, even bad publicity makes money.

  238. He said it's mostly a revolt of his opponents against his election.

  239. I share Joe Rogain's best wishes and also thanks to you, Mr. Putina! It is true, these are exciting times, and we are going through significant and positive changes. As a German I also would like to thank you for making my government moving it's arxe. We are finally getting out of gas, coal and fuel dependencies. Now we are moving the entire country to renewables much faster than everyone was hoping for. Excellent! I hope you can still sell to your best friends, North Korea, Iran and China!
    7
  240. This interview has one fatal flaw: The origin of the virus is one issue. It is important to know the origin, because this will teach about the course it took. The origin of the pandemic must be separated from this question. Scientists say China covered up the beginning pandemic, and therefore caused the spread of it all over the world.
    7
  241. If that would not be so bad for the entire world, I'd say let them Americans have Trump. The US needs a wake-up call.

  242. The way it was done he had no chance, and after one day he knew it and drew the consequence. Stop blaming people who help!

  243. Surprising silence about the USA, UK and Israel grabbing major parts of the current vaccine supplies.

  245.  @thisisdyslexiadaddyspeakin695  Is that so? Or is it only around China's coasts?
    7
  246. For a consumer, it is not too hard avoiding purchase of most US products.
    7
  247. This is not fixable with stricter laws, harsher punishments, or more police. Public celebrations, pop concerts, museums, etc. etc., all kind of public places will never be 100% safe. And I do not want to live in a country that is 100% safe. Such horror attacks could be reduced by not letting people into a country, who do not accept the way this country is. And it is not only Germany. The same applies for other countries they have similar issues, such as Sweden, Denmark or UK. Therefore, Europe needs to solve the issues together.
    7
  248. I have heard about it. I thought before that the Vietnamese people are the most resilient people in the world. Ukraine is right up with them, and besides their own problems, they still do not forget about others. This nation of brave people must be with us. I wish that Ukraine will become a major partner of Germany!

  253.  @skandanur  If they have good immunity they can recover within 5 days also without any medicine. Look at Africa ... far below the catastrophe that was expected! People can not always prepare the food that hygienically, they don't use tons of disinfectant every day, etc. = better natural immunity. Look at the developed countries with their shxty disinfectants and water filtering = weak.

  263.  @twittwit8654  The answer is, India will never accept a communist military government in their backyards. Unless the Myanmar people elected it. Which they didn't. If they did, then they'd have to. And people should stop calling for other countries, regardless USA or else. Asia must manage their own affairs. I am leaving out Chyna now with their wolf politics from the equitation.
    7
  264. So far you have done everything right! Stay out of violence and let the world see who is brutal. Please stay patient, hang on for long enough, and in the end everything will be good for you.
    7
  265.  @Alexandra-dd1su  No, I don't assume this. Siberia is anything else than eco. My example Siberia was actually even well-meant. The reality and truth might be closer to North Korea. The economical gaps in Russia are too wide, the infrastructure is too underdeveloped, so even communication is difficult to the farer regions, and you have literally no producing industry of value, your agriculture is inefficient. Eating potatoes and salted cucumbers every day does not really cut it. The Chinese will drop you like a hot potato when they don't need you anymore. If you think "the West" is selfish, then you don't know China. Where do you live?
    7
  266. Please forgive the Ukraine government and still travel, Mr. Scholz. Mr. Steinmeier is disappointed. He would want to make up for his mistake. But interrupting the relations in such a sensitive situation, he would not want that.

  267. Do not resort to violence. Do not give them a reason to say "We need to re-instate public order". Mrs. Phyu, you are the future. Tell this to all your people.

  268. From what I hear, the plane was occupied with most of the top Wagner "management". That makes it dubious to me. Why would Wagner put all their top people in one single plane?

  269. If I was his driver or his security, I would refuse sitting in this car with him. The car is hermetically sealed for protection against chemical attacks. Secondly, I wonder what this minute-long excursion did cost for the tax-payer. Look at the organisation it required.

  271. China giving Lithuania a stern warning. If this alone does not tell the world something about China, then what would?
    6
  272. It is like he says nobody in Europe ever considered peace talks and negotiations, and nobody knows that this war puts the entire world into a giant crisis.
    6
  273. I do not think the US administration or any of their allies allowed Afghanistan to rebuild the Taliban, nor was it the messy exit. It was the previous Afghanistan administration who allowed the Taliban to rebuild. This and only this is the reason why everyone left soon after it became clear. Afghanistan had given up on itself, people from the medieval ages took over again. 8:45

  274.  @robertdownes793  He has 3 - 4 times as many soldiers and up to 10 times more weaponry in Ukraine, on top of 100% air superiority. But he moves in tens of meters. Do you really think that is how a success looks like?

  291. I just hope that DW will always hold the high standard, despite being a budget-stricken German public broadcaster. Even after the clicks now often count multi-millions. You are truly doing a great job. You are the proof it does not need a high-tech studio and computer generated gimmicks.

  292. That is the case with painkillers, diabetes medication, and statins ... since long already. Not with this one.

  293.  @Vladimir_Ili4  In the past it was the choice of Sweden and Finnland staying neutral. Putin did state they can not join the Nato. That changed their situation completely, because now it is not the independent choice of a sovereign country anymore. Don't you see he Putin breaking glass and continuously? You want him to do so until it's too late? Your country has the economical power of about Italy. How do you want to survive a long war against Europe? Nobody will throw any nuclear stuff onto Russia. But if Russia uses the smallest nuclear weapon, Moscow will be farmland in 2 h.

  294.  @calvinsylveste8474  The previous king had 1000% respect of the people, not because he was the king, but because he has done many good things for Thailand and it's people. I do understand that Thais don't forget that easily, just like in a snap. It is not the superstition or the magical non-sense, but Thais love to have a moral authority. The current king is not popular, hence the demonstrations. I think his sister would be better.

  300.  @mimosveta  1. It was not me who spoke about the Russian vaccine given away for free. 2. The Pfizer vaccine is being developed by Biontech, a German company. Pfizer just contributed it's vast testing facilities, and the distribution network. The Moderna vaccine uses the same technology. It was developed in Germany in 1999. 3. The Sputnik vaccine is also available in freeze dried form, so it can be transported and stored at room temperature even in Africa. 4. Sinovac has only 50.4 % efficacy. It is better than nothing, but you would need a lot of doses to immunise the populace.

  303. Deport him to his friends in China.

  304.  @kyuucampanello8446  Mr. Ma is not an unconditional and uncritical follower of China and a reunion, but more of a proponent for good relations. You all really have to keep in mind that when he started with his policies in 2008, China was a very different China. It was governed by Hu Jintao, a much more liberal man. He wanted to integrate China into a global role with diplomacy, cooperation, and trade. Now Chinese policies have changed drastically. So, Ms. Tsai has been criticised to be too much anti-China. However, I guess she is simply the response to the oppression and continued threads from China. I believe if you try to be friend with someone it is easier to unite, instead of sending aeroplanes, warships, and sending new threads out almost every day. That won't win you any friend in Taiwan.

  306. In actual fact China is just like Europe, a continent-like structure with many different countries. What is called dialects are mostly different, mutually unintelligible languages. From the south to the north people are different, from the west to the east, too. It's not about Cantonese, it's not even about languages. It's about making +everything+ Han. Input 1000 colours, output all the same shade of yellow.

  307.  @gosolvideos  This is because of high price levels, not because of selling much, and honest business. Soon there will be lesser of your gas buyers and the prices will drop into the basement. North-Stream the gas in Putina's rear side, it feels good. Why so many of you have a problem comprehending anything further from what is now, at this moment?

  308.  @Isaac-ro1jl  This is not one country trying to tell the other how they should rule it. These Germans mean well. They may not know the reality there and the local situation, but it's not as if they are suggesting murder and crime. So, it's a good point the President has. At least people are having a chance now to talk.

  313. 300 million people migrating through the regions in China from about 3 weeks time onwards. They will carry the virus from the costal regions to the countryside, where the medical situation is even weaker. The base immunity in China is very low, because their vaccine is less effective, and the CCP had kept an isolation policy. Even if they started vaccinations programs now, it takes weeks and months to facilitate. Chinese doctors are giving Ibuprofen to people for free, which experts say should not be done. They are driving towards a cliff with the food on the accelerator.

  314. I just wanted to add DW is not Germany's state broadcaster, it is Germany's international broadcaster. It is financed by taxpayer money, not by the government. The "state" has no influence on whatever DW broadcasts. It's not a CCTV, RT, or Prawda-TV. About the rest ... there is no need to spend time on that.

  317.  @alexspata  Experts in Germany say that the planned measures are justifiable. The farmers are the highest subsidised economic segment in Germany. Since decades! I do not say that this is the wrong thing to do. However, if you want to implement a reform of the energy markets and the also economy in general, then everyone has to contribute some. How much can certainly be debated. I more blame our current government for the almost complete absence of proper communication. It is not true what they do is all wrong. True is Germans hate change. 16 years NOTHING was done, now we all pay for it. All, not only the retirees and jobless.

  319.  @W_Sushi  Exactly. If the DW-TV asked me about Taiwan and I say country, I am talking for me, not for Singapore. I have no mandate whatsoever to talk for Singapore. If China is upset about it, their problem. Taiwan did handle the pandemic exemplary well. And that has to be recognised, and we ALL need to learn form it. Fxck these Chinese politics.

  331. @Rune Børsjø what is that scheme?

  332. "There is no organization that can make sure Putin will keep his word" is what she said, towards the end. Characters such as Putin only understand hierarchy. Therefore, you have to tell him what he has to do. Like this: If you do not do A, then B will happen.

  335.  @Harrock  May be not a dictatorship, but at least a system which can be called - using moderate terms - a strictly regulated democracy that is unconditionally business friendly. He will smash down all opposition, degrade critics, make the justice system and media work for him. Similar to Singapore. He has expressed admirations for strict rulers and even dictators often. Later please nobody say "I did not know". Democracy lives from different opinions and criticism, and the interplay of different social powers. My take is, after 2 or 3 years of seemingly quick success, the world will have to go through some tough years.

Many people in the world are simply worried, that's really all. South Africa had been stricken by economical and political crisis since so many years. Please officially ask the UN for help, your country deserves better. Please ask Germany on political levels for co-operation and working together. You have so much to offer. I have been to your beautiful country. I would love to see it again, and your neighbours such as Botswana or Namibia, too, in a better future if possible. In fact, the future is in your hands, not in "old" Germany's hands.

  353. Correct is, that Germany's main driver was diplomacy and trade for building a partnership with Russia. That was the main driver, not cheap gas. Correct is, that the German appeasement policy was wrong. There is no appeasement possible with dictatorial regimes, whatever colour or geography. However, I do not fault Germany for trying.

He's just not the person to walk around shouting it out at every media outlet.

  356. Yep. Peace is the basis.

  357. To add-on, it is untrue what the Palestine Prime Minister Mr. Shtayyeh said. Shelling and attacks on hospitals did happen in history, and worse, that even without them being used as human shield. Russia shelled hospitals, for example in March 2022 the Mariupol Maternity Hospital. The hospital was completely destroyed. Other hospitals were attacked as well, among them in September 2023 a hospital in Kherson, and there exactly the maternity ward. Expert said the structure and actions of the Hamas attacks are a precise copy of Russian strategies observed.

  366.  @Ivanna_Jerkov  There is nothing more to explain. Russia's economy is 60 % selling raw materials, mainly oil, gas, and coal. So far Russia was able to bridge the loss of business with the high levels of energy prices. This will not anymore be the case, once the EU is free of Russia's stuff. India and China can not make up for it. And anyways, they will only be your friends for as long as you give them low prices. Every day the war costs about $ 950 million. Every day you will get poorer, unavoidable. We do not need to do anything, just wait.

  367.  @saulleach3476  As a doctor, a lawyer, a therapist, etc. etc. you are operating a business, but you also do have a responsibility. If you do not get paid by some clients it's fine. Or if you render your knowledge at low cost, too, ie. for a greater good. The pay-back most likely will be indirectly. The same applies for pharmaceutical companies. You have a business AND a responsibility. If you do not help your customers to stay alive, who is going to buy your products? If you do not agree to these terms, then stay away from such professions and better become an Apple.

Answer these questions: - Why does China complain about US criticism of TikTok when at the same time all US social media in China is blocked? - Why is TikTok banned in China? - Why is it so important for China's government to have TikTok running in the US, if it is "only" a private company that has nothing to do with the CCP?

  381.  @malcolmrose3361  Sure, often. That is how they got hold on railways, roads, harbours, airports. For example, most of the tourism industry in Cambodia is literally owned by China.

Locals do not earn a cent, at the best they can be taxi driver, delivery boy, or shoe polisher.

Then Hong Kong will be integrated into a Guangdong Mega-City together with Shenzhen and Guangzhou, the Perl Delta City.

  410. The wet markets in China were trading again 4 months after the Chinese government closed them. Not several years. The Wuhan market in question never traded bats according to one of my friends who lives nearby. The horseshoe bat that this virus stems from does not live in and around Wuhan. But as another commenter said, the problem is not the wet markets. The problem is the wild animal trade. Eating wild snake, pangolin, monkey, etc is archaic. There is absolutely no reason for humans to do that.

  414. Why do you say "the West" plays their nationalistic vaccine game? Look at the % of population which have been vaccinated in the UK, the USA and Israel, and then compare to other countries. Again, why don't you name the horse and the rider? Even Europe is waiting for every drop of vaccine. A German company has developed the no. 1 vaccine for Pfizer, and now even Germany is under supply shortage.

  420.  @xingxing85  The next regular general elections were scheduled for September '25. To me it is almost impossible Scholz would win. I personally preferred, if the two SPD and CDU agreed to form a co-operation for the good of Germany, and waited until the September elections. There are important things that would be blocked for months, until there was a new government. And its formation might become difficult this time, because of the Afd. I believe all parties policies should stand back for a while, and what is good for the country should be done decisively and swiftly. That requires compromises by everyone, but it should be done.

  421. They could not just close the valve, as contractual obligations forced Russia to supply gas. They would be charged contract penalties, if they did. Do you guys remember how they claimed several times technical issues for reducing supplies? Obviuolsy, there was a Russian interest to stop the gas. They still believed Germany would collapse without Russian supplies. Of course that was not the case, they just would not believe it. Of course, a technical issue can "free" them from such obligations.

Corruption is everywhere in the world, I agree, some countries have more and some lesser. The question is how shamelessly it is being done, and if overall it's harming the country and it's people.

If you look into her face from one year ago and then around these times, she tells us the story without any words. Every day she suffers. The most important task of a good leader is having the right people around him. He does. I hope when the massacre in the Ukraine is over, that Mr. Zelenskiy is wise enough to step back and leave the role to rebuild the country to another person. He is the right leader for this times, but he would have done more than enough, really.

I believe at this time, almost 20 years ago, we all hoped for a better relationship with Russia, and also that diplomacy and trade would draw Putin more into Europe.

The app automatically deletes data older than 25 days, since these are useless anyway. Should you get infected, you will be asked to upload the traced data to a server at the Ministry of Health. There is no data usage, upload or download whatsoever without the individuals permission and active involvement. If another person is infected has your connection data, and agreed to use it, then you will get a phone call. Then and only then you are approached personally and asked to see a doctor. There is no location data or any other relevant information involved, needed or used.

  524.  @ashleylittle6776  We are already down from using 60 % Russian gas, down to below 40 %. When the LNG terminal is ready, that will be 30 % which equals a reduction into half. Now the Ukraine's power grid had been silently synchronized with the EU power grid, it was with Russia's grid before. The Ukraine said they have a lot of electrical energy redundant, since many parts of their industrial production has come to a halt. They will feed it into the EU network. It will not come as hard as many think. I personally anyway believe that Putin will run bankrupt by the end of this year. The war costs him about 900 Million $ per day. Russia is getting poorer with every day, and if not, then the war will continue until he is bankrupt and Russians scratch the bark from the trees to eat. That is not the biggest problem, the EU has 10 times the GDP as Russia has.

  530.  @jeekanza  Nobody can know about long term effects. The vaccines have undergone all usual testing, except that phase 3 usually requires 2 - 4 years, which was shortened from obvious reasons. Nobody and no country can sit and wait it out for 4 years. However, we know after a year of vaccinations, the side-effects after 1 year are similar to any other jab, such as flu. After 60 years experience with vaccines there is knowledge which says it is highly unlikely there will be something else. I would be vary of AZ, Sinovac and Sinopharm, and any vaccine or "medicine" that has not undergone the international tests required. Or anybody else promising a miracle medicine or treatment that cost nothing at 100 % success rate.

China wants Taiwan, because they'd own the world market for microchips, something that would be bad for the entire world. Indian nationality, right?

The Russian Sputnik is cleverer, it uses two different virus vectors that have a synergistic effect. Therefore, it is more efficient while having lesser adverse affects.

No wonder ... it is 3 times as concentrated, but then has better efficacy against Delta. That's why I chose it, to me it's worth the 1.5 days being unwell. I would have taken the Sputnik with no hesitation, it's not approved here. I think it makes more sense than AZ.

  601.  @efanferdiantowibowo9610  I agree, Indonesia will be a strong country in 25 years. But I am not super sure how to answer your question, Efan.

But the crime, and the safety when you live there as a foreigner ... ? You see, that is why many companies prefer SGP. Peace, stability and safety for everyone of the staff. German people do not like to live behind huge walls, or only move around with a driver.

  604. Germany will focus in the future more on countries that are standing on a systemic platform together. For a long time we thought that trade and diplomacy should be used to maintain and improve international relations. Now we learned a hard lesson. Philippines is a possibility, but needs to address corruption. I personally think that the Philippines are a sad example of mismanagement. Such a beautiful country, so many educated people, natural resources, so many English speakers ... it should be one of the most prosperous country in Asia. We are very interested in Singapore. Singapore is not a liberal democracy as in the European sense, but it generally respects human rights and dignity in very similar ways. Plus, business is much more free of corruption than in other Asian places. They do what Chinese promise only, business for mutual benefit.

  613.  @Levy0409  I am absolutely sure, that Russia started this war from economic reasons. The Ukraine was not in any military alliance with the US or with Europa. As well, the Nato did not plan to include the Ukraine. But of course in the future this will change, when this completely unnecessary war is over.

  614.  @whiqeddik7615  That's the important point.

  617.  @oldnepalihippie  If you give my son 10 maths problems, he would solve them in half the time as compared to what a German student needed, and most likely with lesser mistakes. But if you asked him why is that so, he would often not be able to provide an answer. They learn to recognize patterns. If a problem conforms to a pattern they learned, they are able to replicate it in seconds. I guess this example explains what I mean. Similar applies for other subjects. To me ChatGTP is just about like this. After I used it a number of times, I can see the repeating structures and patterns. Result in Singapore: People who are unable to be creative in life, in job. I suspect that may also be the outcome with ChatGTP AI.

There where multiple, months long attempts to tame the tiger, so to speak. Not only one in Istanbul. The last one was by the African delegation, justb a few weeks back. Before they went they as well exclaimed: If you do not talk with him, how can you make peace?" After the visit in the Kremlin did you ever hear back from these delegates? The silence is deafening. It is not possible talking with Putin. The precondition is, that the opponent Ukraine accepts the loss of all areas that are currently held by Russia. He said that numerous times. Many - among them me - also believe, that this would not be the end. Medwedew said just last week officially: The real goal is Kiev. Didn't you hear that?

  639. That is not very high, but it does offer protection. 550 simply means that the blood serum could be diluted 1 : 550 and still is able killing 50 % of the virus present. Typical mRNA antibody levels are around 1000, measured 3 - 4 weeks after the second vax. 3 injections, with 2 being Biontech and 1 Moderna have been found here in Singapore to result in top levels. Young people were found with result more than 1800. I had 1400, and I'm 63 yo. There are extensive studies to antibody levels, but I am not going to search them for you.

  653.  @joey3291  It is your own incompetence to understand what really happens, and some others here. Import cars are taxed extra in China, up to 60 %. Only "foreign" cars produced INSIDE China with at least 60 % parts produced INSIDE China are exempted. Lithium Batteries are subsidised in China. And on top of this, electric cars are being subsidised. If we allow this to happen, then the European car is dead in 5 years. It is the same they did to the German solar industry, subsidised their panels to prices no German company has any chance to compete. And we watched and did nothing.

  654. This is untrue. Where do you have that from? The source, NOW! Germany is partially exporting energy, and the imports are part of the exchange within the European network. The wind energy covers 30% of German energy almost constant, and is one of the greatest success stories for the country.

  656.  @JCarterme3531  You may be in denial, but that's not reality. From 1683 until 1890 something Taiwan was a colony of the Qing dynasty. Something can only be a colony if it has been separate before. The Taiwan native fought with hand and feet this colonisation. Numerous rebellions took place. From 1949 the government moved to Taipei, has the own flag, the own laws, the own constitution, the own army. That is considered the founding date of modern Taiwan. You do not need to explain to me that the CCP sees that differently. I know what they "see".

  657.  @TheLocalLt  Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy.

  658.  @TheLocalLt  Hyper-patriot, I forgot to mention that trait. Same as the Germans 80 years ago. They have turned China into a nation of super-patriot, obedient consumers.

One day what belongs together will go together, and what does not that will separate anyway. CCP are fighting windmills.)

  661. The German minister of economics actually said that last year already. Germany will have a downfall of 3 may be 4 years, and then we will recover full swing. This is due to re-organising the economy, energy markets, education and some other issues related to finances, and how the different states vs. the country is managed. Most of these are issues which the previous government did not address for more than a decade. The majority of stoooopid Germans elected her, because that sedate chick promised peace and stability. We all know where that ended.

  695. When the drivers are uncivilized and the government has no more ideas, even speed bumps don't work, then the last solution is 30 kph ... to enforce at least a 50 kph limit.
    2
  696.  @Gean...de...Oliveira  I fully agree, education is so much better. Unfortunately how I see it, the world is going the path of speed bumps and fences. Sideswitch., if you have a car with a fairly accurate momentary consumption display, you could see at 30 kph a car uses as much as 40 - 50 % more fuel as compared to 50 kph.
    2
  697.  @Gean...de...Oliveira  I concur. And now imagine an entire million city with speed bumps. Anyways, those SUV's chuckle at speed bumps. Instead, I would tax cars on basis of size, weight and fuel consumption at 50 kph and at 130 kph. Only exceptional, selected areas such as school areas should have speed bumps and low speed limits.

  707.  @michasosnowski5918  Thanks Michael! I admit I did miss the occasional positive word. BTW. My wife simply preferred to work, and I was sick of work-life.

  710. If he is found to offend the "no conducting of Thailand from German soil" rule, he may be declared persona non-grata. Same should his presence imposes a danger to the German public, or if he broke laws of his home country. Another way currently being evaluated is, making him to pay taxes if he stays for more than 6 months a year in Germany. That would be a relevant amount.

  713. That is more the problem. Their men see a woman who can not give birth as incomplete. Anyway, China had also a strict birth control policy towards Chinese women. And it's not completely lifted yet. They can't just have 3 children, or more. These are the rules, regardless the religion. Note, I am not defending China or supporting these policies. Just mentioning their rules.

  719. You know. But for others, Germany has a low state depth. The German depth rules are meant to prevent having the future generations paying our bills. However, if we invest the money into infrastructure projects, education and future technologies, it does come to benefit the future generation. Therefore it is justified relaxing the depth rules in the current situation.

  726.  @SilentSeventh  Exactly. The plans were already there since 2009. Now things get accelerated.We do not want fossil energy anymore at all, where possible. In the current war situation we find it rather disturbing the Indians buying the gas and oil for cheap, which Europe does not buy anymore from Russia, and then reselling it for higher prices. India thinks we want to prescribe which friends it needs to have. That is not so. We just do not appreciate such behavior, as we see it as highly immoral.

  747. The signboard says to not enter the cave after 20. July, the beginning of the raining season. It was the 13. of June when they played there. In Thailand it is normal not to asking the parents for every little issue, at least not for teenagers anymore. Lastly, it is a common habit in Chiang Rai / Chiang Mai area for people to enter a cave to have a little party, i.e. birthdays. There were simply surprised by a an unusual strong flash flood. Even the parents do not blame the trainer. He was scared and wanted to hide, even more so that he's not of Thai nationality. They assured him he has nothing to fear, and parents praised him for taking care so well during the time in the cave.

  748.  @murrayflewelling1258  Many said the same. Power and force is what he understands. You need to tell him clearly what will happen if he does that or that, and then proceed it if he does not listen. For him there are only two kinds of countries/leaders: Weak, and strong. If he thinks you will not do anything, he will proceed and you have just waisted your time. Just like all these EU politicians who travelled to his long table.

  749. The costs of living are increasing everywhere in the world - ask the Americans for example - and are mostly the result of a war that is redundant and terrifying, plus the greed of some.

  750. With such an issue of such enormous proportions and impact to the entire world, it would be normal that they would release all documents, and make all places available for visit. Originally it was not going about blaming anyone. Now I blame China. If they had nothing to hide, that is what they should have done from the very beginning. And I blame the WHO to support this hiding game.

  755.  @jeekanza  mRNA was detected in 1999 by a German student. He did research DNA based vaccines. Then, out of curiosity he enveloped protein spikes with the mRNA. All other scientists discarded that approach before, as mRNA is very volatile. It dissolves itself in shortest time, they did not see it as an option (which is also the reason for it's storage requirements). He detected mRNA is far more effective transporting information to the cells, than the path via the DNA itself. The guy founded 4 years later Curevac, to develop cancer vaccine for very hard to treat cancer types. The company also shared their knowledge with others. To develop a cancer vaccine is very difficult. They had some success, but there is neither any product yet in the market nor even through a phase 3 study. The investors hang in there since 20 years. Converting the project to corona was comparably easy for them. It was not meant for this usage, but there is experience, and there were tests with other kinds of immune information. Therefore, we can't say it's brand new, or totaly untested. I unterstand why some people are hesitating. The above explains also why mRNA has so much better efficacy. It is the future of vaccination, clearly. I assume the experience can also bring cancer research a good step forward. Then, two companies are busy converting the mRNA vaccine to a tablet form. Imagine you can later take a tablet against colon cancer. We take risks, and that makes us successful.

Her introduction words really were: "This is a complex mission and it could still end in failure", and then she asked actually not what the OP said, but she asked: "How complex is the technical side of this mission Dr. Caughrean?" So she did inform herself, and she knows this is a complex mission, and then used a question that is is probably from a journalistic point of view a somewhat clumsy intro. But she did absolutely not say "could it fail?" as what you stated above. Furthermore, I do not know what you want. We got the correct picture and detailed info from the expert, didn't we? In this case you are interpreting something into what I see is a not too clever journalistic style. DW is not like FOX or SKY. But I doubt that I will be able to change your opinion about it. You are being told since years that all western media are evil, same as the Americans are told since ages all Chinese are evil. Both is bullshxt. And about the real film materials, where are they? I never found any. Of course many people in the world are interested, but as I said, not in promotional animations. We want to see the real thing.

  760.  @lm157  I doubt so. The vast majority wants peace just like you and me. Some have relatives in the Ukraine, and whatever they sometimes quarrel, they know they have to solve their problems ... but not with a war. This is Putin's war, not a war of Russia.

  761. They won nothing. They have 7-10 times the amount of weapons and 3-5 times the number of soldiers but standing more or less on the same sport since 2 years. You call that winning? That is pathetic for such a huge army!

  762.  @talkbigdosmall3192  The purpose of the US Army was not to "win" Afghanistan, but to facilitate and help building a Police force, an Afghanistan Army, and other infrastructure. The main purpose was building a country. Same applies for the other countries who where involved.

  763. Scholz highlighted many times talking with Pootyn being as useful as talking to a wall. There are two reasons why he did that: - he is under political pressure by another German party claiming he is constantly driving war and doing nothing for a diplomatic solution - one last try before Trump can start doing his damage. What you are inferring here is baseless.

  764. Nobody complained about this, AFAIK. The difference is that China is about where other countries where about 12 months ago.

Then more Mr. Laschet does, then more votes Mr. Scholz will get.

  779. @peter The contract has been published. Besides some parts are being blackened out, it does become clear Astrazeneca lied bluntly. No basis to do business with a mafia-style organziation. It is immoral cashing money for readying a production, and then channel the produce to certain other countries, whatever produce does not matter. 335 Million Euros EU funds to be accurate, for readying the Belgium production facilities. Wasted on some Trump II country.
    2
  780. @peter they published the contract with some passages blackened, the TV showed the relevant text parts. There are clearly quantities, and it said the EU money is for starting up the production to do these. You may doubt whatever, I myself was quite surprised. I had not expected much from the Brits under the current administration ... but this?? Britain will go down the same way as the US did. Sorry to offend you, but that's how it will come IMO.

In 1 - 2 years: No more Russian gas, oil, or coal 2035: 80 % is generated by renewable resources Many do not know about the high percentage Germany is already "green". The current behavior of Russia rather accelerates this transformation, which is planned for anyway. We will be happy when the times are near. High prices for gas make sense purely from an economical point of view, as it will help to even more speed up the process. Bye bye Sheik Yerbuti, bye bye Putina.

  808.  @timakornniranrai7457  That what you write describes exactly the mood that I captured from my friends in Thailand. Sometimes Asian nations are not really that ready for democracy. Which is why for example there is a "illiberal democracy" in Singapore. Blaming democracy for all the bad in the world is as wrong as saying all the West is bad. Taiwan is the example of what China could have been, and that would have done so much better for the entire Asia, instead of these old communist men with their stone faces. And lastly, as an outsider who travels to Thailand since 1995, I'd say it is no use to have Thailand governed by stone-age old men. The young Thailand is different. I believe even the aging king Bhumibol was more modern. You can't educate people and then at the same time expect they still believe in 1000 year old stuff.

And it's here in Singapore that Indians were among the toughest fighters.

  813. If you listened to the guy above, the Chinese overcapacity mainly exists, because the demand was expected to be much higher than it currently is. What has this to do with other companies (regardless where they are from) selling their junk everywhere in the world?

  814.  @Yarxk-j7w  The battery industry has been highly subsidised. Batteries are the biggest chunk of cost for e-cars. BYD is a battery maker. This, and at the same time it is a huge miss by the car industries in other countries. Most of them tried and are still trying to promote and sell their old dinosaur cars, instead of looking into the future. My compassion for them is rather limited, should they die. In capitalism, current profits count a lot more than future profits.
    2
  815.  @Yarxk-j7w  I do not know who much profit these foreign carmakers made in China. I am sure some such as Volkswagen did benefit massively. Parents invest into the education of their kids, and also safe a backup for harder times. Companies rather spend their profits on investors. The problem is exactly that. Chinese garment "steers": their industries, western companies are driven by profits they could make in the next 3 months. We must note however, that China has really high import tariffs for so many goods. But if Europe imposes such tariffs, China barks and howls like a beaten dog.

  816.  @Yarxk-j7w  Sorry, that one I can't agree. 20% on a car that costs the equivalent of say USD 50,000 is +a lot+ money. If you get a similar car for USD 40,000, then the purchase decision is glass-clear for most people.

  817.  @Eyes0penNoFear  studies with 70 to 600 humans are not enough. Studies at this sizes are done to find out, if there is a need to do the real thing involving thousands or ten thousands. So far nobody has forked out that kind of funds needed, AFAIK, which would be millions.
    2
  818.  @Eyes0penNoFear  Right. The US Moderna is as good as the German developed Pfizer, it seems. The Russian Sputnik is almost as good and assumed to be very tolerable. When it comes to these things, the world should really forget about all politics and work together.

  831.  @jeffjr84  and DW is one of the best. But state media is not really correct. They are financed by taxpayers money, they do not have to say what the current government would like to hear. They do not receive funds by the government, not by big corporate, not by billionaires.

  832. Exactly.

  833. European countries only planned for bringing the new infections down to a level so that the health system can handle it well. Asian countries in opposite aim for 0 new infections. In April-May 2020 we had 7 weeks radical lockdown here in Singapore. It was hard. Since then we live almost normal, except we have to wear masks, and we can not travel.
    2
  834. My son had one day a bit elevated fever, and a few days sore throat. I had only mildly sore throat. My wife was dull, tired and feverish for two weeks, and for 6 weeks was not able to taste her food. That is how it hit many people here in Singapore, with a population that is for over 90 % vaxxed. The hospitals were easily able to cope after the vaccination program was through. Singapore has one of the lowest fatalities world-wide. Everybody will get it one day, as the virus keeps evolving. The only question is how you get out of it.

  841.  @MMA-gb6to  Germans and French carmakers are still hoping to sell in China. But Chinese government highly supports local producers. For example, they impose high tariffs on important items. In the worst case they will make the life of a foreign company difficult, should they still not shrink in the market where are local companies as well.

  842.  @prasvasu4217  Mercedes produces cars in China. I can tell you for sure, they are not the same. My previous boss had the same car in China as in Singapore. The engine is more vocal (it has a low pitched humming sound the Singapore bought car does not have), at idle waiting at a traffic light it vibrates (with the Singapore car I hardly notice it's "on"), the suspension is not as smooth, some parts of the trimmings are vinyl instead of leather, etc. etc.

  851. Did you understand what was said at all? They send people to these company managers and made it clear to them, that they want the factories operating again. Therefore, the headquarters said "to ensure the safety of our staff". Did you get that, Pappnase? Wouldn't it be much better to fight the madman in the Gremlin, instead of throwing dirt?

  855. The genetic footprint of the virus is originally from Yunnan. Didn't Mr. Drosten say that already a long time ago? It is a horseshoe bat that can be located there. There was never any horseshoe bat in Wuhan, unless that state lab had brought them there. Secondly, in Italy hospitals kept samples from lung patients. It is confirmed the first patients were in a Milano hospital as early as end October / beginning of November 2019. We can safely exclude anything of that non-sense the Chinese say.

Teaching hate, that what happens in China. I was so glad I had the opportunity to place my son into a non-public school, it was one based on Confucius teachings. Some don't care, but so many are full of hate and blind from it. I had seen myself smashing of windows of Japanese shops,for example.

  868. A person who accuses his own country falsifying elections and never recognised he lost, who has been legally proven to have lied, who kicks out everyone who is not in line with him even people in smaller government positions, or also press agencies, he accuses others having a problem with freedom of speech. This begs the question: Is what is meant the freedom to lie?
    2
  869.  @PinkStalin  I don't think that DW is brainwashed. However, we know Navalny is not an undisputed person even among people who do not like Putin. Many years ago, Putin wanted to be part of the international community, move closer to the West and in particular Europe. He loves Germany since he lived in the East, he speaks fluent German. Unfortunately, the West did not stretch out the hands, which made him walk his own ways. He was right for Russia, but now he is not a good president anymore.

  870. Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, Poland ... all a different level in comparison to Russia. I still believe that Russia belongs to Europe, too, but Putin probably destroyed that for decades.

  873. The Biontech/Pfizer vaccine reduces the individuals risk of getting the infection by 94 %. It prevents close to 100 % of death of those who still do get infected. It reduces the transmission rate of the virus by 89 %. Phrase it however you want. These are the hard facts.
    2
  874.  Andrew Christopher  you are wrong. The way how we speak is the biggest influence on how we think. People who use simple, short, and often crippled sentences will tend to think exactly that way. It is proven by linguistic science. If you make an effort to speak well, and make an extra effort to be precise in what yo say, so will be the quality of how and what you think. The orange Julius Caesar is the best example. Sometimes the end of his sentence has nothing to do with how he begun.

  882. To Sarah Kelly and all your colleagues - DW has very good journalists who ask the right questions and listen to what the interviewee says. Because of you DW is an essential channel. THANK YOU!

  885. She is right, even if driven by emotions. I bet almost nobody in Ruxxia really wanted war, including Pootinkayas buddies. They were all deceived. They thought it would be a small injection into the neighbour's muscle, not a major heart surgery with years of more operations afterwards. Pootinkaya can't rudder back now, because that would mean his end. We all know what happens to most dictators.

  892. We believe that Vietnam will develop into liberal directions. They are more open, not arch-conservative communists. The money is not the major point. If it was, German companies could also look elsewhere, even cheaper. Companies tried other Asian countries. I love Malaysia, but efficiency is a problem. If SEA founded a Union similar to the EU, not a loose connection as what ASEAN is now, SEA would beat all other regions in the world in shortest time.

  896.  @barok7428  Human rights are one point but not the only one. I believe that there will be more business and relations with SEA. I believe it is an important signal Scholz did send. We want to work with other countries, too. We always had a good relationship with China, but we have to +reduce dependence+ on countries that do not stand on a similar platform, regardless if this is China, Russia, Iran, or XYC. But there certainly still will be business with China. Coming back to the Phils, 97 % of the wealth is held by 3 % of the people, and 97 % of the people hold 3 % of wealth. For as long a there is a layer of administration in the Philippines that keeps the masses down, it will be a problem. Probably a much bigger problem even than shooting some drug dealers.

  897.  @peterseth3296  Naaaa. Germany has a very vivid medium and small business industry. That is the salt of the earth. That is where the neighbour finds his job, and your daughter. That is where most of the innovations originate from. We never built our fate on huge cooperates only, like the US.

  899.  @mariokajin  I did some reading. My conclusion is there can be only one single reason: His task is to bring Bayer down, or at least get it split up. End of Bayer. BTW. The Monsanto deal was not done by him, but by his predecessor.

  900. I believe to remember DW said this on another place. There is no way Greenland would be a Trump Rivera, and I personally do not understand why they keep reporting about this clown every single day. It's exactly the exposure he is craving for.
    2
  901. He is not. Exhausting the enemy who is much stronger in terms of numbers by letting them territory meter by meter, and then hitting back when they are worn out is a well known battlefield strategy.

  907.  @jamesjackovich5886  the country's political system is characterized by strong leadership cult. You would be surprised what strong labour standards they have, or laws against pollution. But this is mostly wording only. it will be enforced, if it's useful for the CCP or it's leaders.

  915.  geranienbaum  I think that guy there is horribly outdated. He might have to go anyway. The current silence is loud, IMO. That does not mean the successor will be automatically better, of course I agree. Anyway, we got a hammer lesson and the learnings are there. Just stick together, there is worse in the world than this. Imagine the Ukrainians.
    2
  916.  @silvialittlewolf  Putin will not end the war, that is very clear to me and to many. Only the blind still expect negotiations and diplomacy/ The Ukraine has to win, and drive Russia out of their Territory completely. Only this will make it clear to Russia, hands off. Any form of peace agreement through negotiations at that point would be wasted time. The Ukraine would never be safe, the country would always have to live in fear for his neighbour, and all the neighbours also would be still under threat. Every single meter of Ukrainian soil has to be returned, and Russia must pay reparations. Putin has to have a complete, devastating loss, not anything that leaves him face. Then he would be removed instantly. If then the people want the same again, or someone who is even worse, that is up to the Russian people. If they want to live under a fascist dictator, there is not much we can and should do, except then keeping relationships to minimum.

  923.  @pertoor  I would like to answer to your last message that was removed, from whatever I reason I do not know. Your message was not disrespectful or offensive, I have no clue why someone removed it. I disagree with almost everything you said. Economical behavior is taught in German schools, and when they talk about energy for example, they also talk about cleanliness of energy, and the importance of renewables. If you find shops that have hot air blowers at open doors to keep cold air out, then you should approach the management. However, I do know that these companies are not mad. Usually the energy used for a warm air curtain is lower than the loss through the door with people coming in and out. Here in Singapore no house is insulated, all windows simple thin glass, 98 % no Thermopane. Recycling just started (gently) and the shops give out plastic bags in quantities, as if they want to plaster the world with them. But if you want to see horrible energy wasting, just visit the US. China is also horrible, for example with their light pollution everywhere. I live in Singapore and traveled more than 30 countries, for job and private. In my experience Germany is one of the cleanest and recycle-friendly countries in the world. That does not mean there is no room for improvement.

  933. One more important failure reason: The elections this year!

  934. I meanwhile think that Putin played the reformer for getting into powers, but he was never one. Now he is an old man who lives in a world from 50 years back. Even without war it would be s much better for Russia, if he disappeared immediately. It does not matter there is no successor. Nothing is worse than him. If he still can continue this war until late autumn, there will be so much suffering. Yea, Mr. Kasyanov certainly know a lot more than he says.

The main reason is, there are mostly smaller western carriers that dare going this route, as the big lines consider this route still as too risky for their big vessels. - The biggest effect so far was that the world price for grains normalized and stabilized. - Not a single ship with Russian grain left the harbours in Ukraine. Apparently, nobody wants to buy it. - The real effect of the grain export agreement will be seen from October.

They are landlocked, they can't ship liquid gas to their shores. Therefore, a transition will take much longer, for example. There are a (few) other countries which are friendly with Pootyn, such as Hungary. We can wish that these activities would be stopped, but we can't control Hungary. However, the voices are getting louder to kick them out of EU.

  961.  @gailalbers1430  Germany has veto-ed the Nato membership of the Ukraine, because it was too dangerous for as long as Putin is on his throne. Scholz said that even to Putin 2 days before this man started this useless war, with exactly the reasoning to block the Ukraine being the next Nato member. Scholz stood there next to him at the microphone, and said: I don't understand, it's not even on the table. I am sure the Ukraine will soon be a EU member, but may be still not a Nato member. Germany and other countries will make guarantees outside the NATO, if so. We do not want any sort of war, we want peace and development. Not wasting money on weapons and destruction. We have no public shelters since 2007, and I hope they will be never needed.

  972. Even though the fights do still go on, in reality he had lost from the moment he did not get into Kyiv. Which was in Feb/March 2022, at the beginning of the war. And that is a dire truth for him. The longer he drags this redundant war, the more Russia will suffer later.

  973.  @Korovkin_Pavel  Our previous government has done several mistakes, and left many things undone to not cause problems for themselves. We learned now the hard way. It will be necessary that Germans will endure 1 or 2 degrees lower temperatures in the house, and pay for the mistakes. There are people dying in the Ukraine, our package is the much lighter one.

  990. I do not think that the US did a mistake ahead, by not calling in Beijing and asking "What is this?". The big mistake was that China should have used the opportunity and called in the US to elaborate about what happened. That would have helped rebuild some trust, and could have been a positive precursor to the Blinken visit The balloongate was created by China. Therefore, the first call is on them.

According to Myanmar law that garden-gnome is supposed to retire at 65 yo. He's 64. He's one of the most corrupt and wealthy people in the country. His entire family is actually, as usual. He would lose immunity once he leaves the army next year. Realistically, a democratic government would help to ease him from the heavy burden of his wealth. China gave him green light to proceed. If Myanmar can not settle the situation right now, it might be fixed for many hears to come, and the political balance in the region ... was a balance. Yep, that's China who scolds the West every day not to mix up with their affairs. Expect to see the comments "accordingly" below.

  999. 7:56 that is the best assessment about China's foreign policies that I have heard. The best example is Ukraine. A lot of smooth talk, but what is now really with China's 12 point plans, the mediator they sent? I am sick and tired hearing all the China bullshxt-marketing. Everywhere China has got involved, there are only problems for the world left.

  1001.  @lac8356  Your text comes closest to reality. I also do not like the US foreign policies often. They have done so many mistakes. But do I like the Chinese foreign policies better? No. Njet. 不. Look at Sri Lanka and Cambodia as examples. Also, a nation which constantly keeps on contemplating about the past in my eyes is doomed. China has territorial disputes with 17 Asian countries, mostly China claiming territory from the others. Does that say enough about their intentions. To me: Yes. Europe will have business still with all of you, in particular Germany. But in the future we will not buy substantial products in big amounts from an oppressive dictatorial regime. Or any other regime that we do not share a basic common platform with. This is the lesson learned the harsh way.

The key point is that Hungary is one of the prime receivers of EU funds, and on the other hand has all major projects with China. These do not benefit the EU, but China and Chinese companies. This is absurd, and I wonder for how much longer the EU is accepting this. And allow me also to say, I am pretty tired of educating all you clowns from the Moscow circus.

These rules should provide a minimum of protection for soldiers, retain their dignity as humans, protect private people from unnecessary violence, and also prevent disasters exactly such as this one. If someone shells hospitals or schools, infrastructure, cultural objects, private residences, etc, it only harms the people but does nothing to end a conflict. Every Russian should know that. If millions of Russians stand up, they can't put ten's of millions in prison. Do better than the Germans 80 years ago! It is the only way to regain respect in the world, and your last chance.

It did not matter much to Germany. Germany's energy currently consists of 47 % renewables. A portion of the Russian gas had been replaced by liquid gas. The converters can later be used to convert liquid hydrogen. Before the war there had been plans to reduce gas until 2030, of course the war had tremendously accelerated the transition. For 2035 about 80 % are planned to be renewables. We won't need that much fossil energies anymore, and our renewables will be either home produced, or mostly bought from systemic partners. All that there is now is the transition phase. Thanks to Russia, Germany woke up.

  1096.  @FroggyTWrite  37 % of the gas is used for industry, 13 % for other commercial activities, and 31 % for heating. Only 12 % is used to generate electricity. We would only need to save about that amount to be safe, not a gargantuan task. Of course, it also depends on how strong the winter will get. On a European level Russia supplies currently only about 9 % of previous quantities. If Putina turns off the tap completely, it would be not a killer for Europe. I personally think he will do that as soon as the winter breaks in anyway. That would be normal for the way he functions.

  1156.  @JeffreyPhua-ol3lq  I tried to summarise the CCP leadership style, of course from my amateur point of view.

  1157.  @JeffreyPhua-ol3lq  I know Mr. Mahubani's publications. You may not find a person who disagrees more with what he says. The latest thing from his mouth is, Biden being forced by the US public opinion to be prove he's a hardliner with China. That is wrong. Under the Obama government (as the vice president) he was the architect of several tightening measures to China. It's just that Obama did not tout these things around. Trump then cancelled these measures with no exception, only to re-instate them 1:1 three years later into his presidency. Then he touted around him being soooo strict on China. People believe he was. Biden will continue what he did before. He was already critical and a hardliner towards China. I do not know what makes a man of world like Mr. Mahubani be so wrong. The common American, ok, they watch the whole day Fox. But a studied man??? If this is what he teaches also ... Just one single example.

  1158.  @JeffreyPhua-ol3lq  Trump was 4 years a president. That does not make him a clever man. Since 3 years Tedros is the General Director of the WHO. There was probably never any worse person than him. If you think that this kind of things impress me ... not. I remember (and I have it still) an article from about 10 years ago by Mr. Mahubani, where he wrote about what the West (he meant the US, of course) should learn from China. That article was drooling of an inconceivable arrogance. At that point he had lost me. We are discussing these things, and obviously I disagree with your points. For example, I disagreed China being not a dictatorial regime. You want to teach me they are not. I lived in China.

A weak and not unified Europe is in danger to be milled down in between them. That is also what our previous minister of foreign affairs said to Xi. ("We will not be the playball of the interests of world powers"). Certainly, it is in the interest of Europe to include Turkey. The more the better. You are entitled to your opinion about being it in the national interest of Turkey to remain independent and separate. I understand you believe that is the national interests of the Turkish people. My opinion is, that it is not possible. In this global world now, no country can be alone anymore. On the long run, you will be squashed in between the interests of those powers who are much bigger and powerful.

  1193. Do not be mistaken by the current situation. The Ukraine forces are ordered to let the Russians come forward meter by meter. They are giving up their territory, but at the same time Russian material will be used up and they will suffer heavy soldier losses. Doing this for several months will wear the Russian forces out. Then the heavy weapons will come in. It would cost much more lives to fight them more directly now, as well, many parts of the east Ukraine are damaged or destroyed anyway. This is a well known strategy to win against an enemy that is stronger in numbers but weaker in quality. Also, there is more practical support than people are informed about. It would be not wise to let Putin know in detail what really goes into the Ukraine. The EU's GDP is 10 times higher than the GDP of Russia. We could last for years like that, they can't. Their economic power is about the level of Italy. The Russian people are told otherwise, but that is not reality.

The point is Scholz holds the position that Putina does not need to know what Germany or Europe does. BTW. Ex Army General Mr. Petraeus stated Leopards are not crucial anymore for the Ukraine. At this point they are fully capable of progressing without. I am not an expert but I really appreciate his expert opinion. Same as I appreciate Mr. Hodges weighted opinion.

  1209. China did come out with a 12 points plan, with 9 points containing issues that were already addressed by the European countries for so many months before - to no avail as we all know. But China presented it as THE solution to peace. After nothing happened, China send an envoy to Ukraine and to Putin. Europeans had sent already their own "low profile" envoys before - to no avail. It looks like they really think Europeans are dumb. Stunningly shocking to me is also the not-knowledge about the world.

The world will be better off to scale down political ties with China to an absolute necessary needed level, avoid any discussion and potential conflict, and also to look for other partners to do business with, for as long as the hysteric Mr. Xi is the leader there. Let the Chinese solve this very own problem themselves.

  1230. I suspect most people in the world have not the slightest idea about the Russians having started the most brutal war ever in human history. Our media only occasionally throws a brief flashlight on what really happens. For some reason, they seem to think they have to protect us from seeing these atrocities. I personally believe it would be important. Most Ukrainian people said in the beginning weeks of the war something in line with this: "No, I am not angry about the Russian soldiers. They have to follow orders." This changed very quickly, in view of their historically unknown levels of brutalities. Probably these wounds will never ever heal. A few days ago DW showed a small boy, traumatized. He was screaming on the top of his little lungs, when his mum brought him outside of the house. To him outside meant horror. He knows the outside only as a place of bombs, death and blood. I do not dare to think about all the hundred thousands children who had to endure bombing, killing, blood. Thank you for enduring this all, Vitaly. I hope the the people of Europe will never forget who stood up not only for your but also also for our freedom.

  1252. Don't believe everything. 1/3 of gas supplies from Russia have been already replaced by other sources. In December there will be an LNG terminal ready. It will far not be as bad as what many are made to believe. It is Russia who is causing the feeling of insecurity in the European people, and in particular the Germans. That's why this dumb up- and down with supplies. The Ukrainian power grid has already been silently synchronized with the EU grid. They do not need all the electrical power, because much of their production is down. Kazakhstan has already offered gas to the EU. They have plenty. If Russia continues with the 20 % of full supplies, then the storages will still be 90 % full by mid-November. Unless there will be a harsher winter, the restrictions will be minimal and bearable.

We see a man who knows how to move on international parquet and someone who respects others people and countries, without losing the view on his own interests. That he has the movements of an old man and also sometimes loses the string of what he wanted to say - irrelevant.

  1291.  @oldfogey4679  Naaa I don't think so. We do not like that the US is taking advantage and sell energy at higher prices. But the cause is not the US. Trump was seen as a clown in Europe, and also in wide parts of Asia. But China preferred him over Biden. If Trump gets again to steer the rudder of the big ship, Europa will go to distance towards the US. Many see him as a fascist. About Thailand. Thai people are lovely people, but the corruption is rampant and logic is a concept that has not reached Thailand yet. Legal certainty (or whatever you call it) is being replaced by personal preferences and auspicious beliefs. If you have any business or investment there, you may lose that with a stroke of a pencil.

  1295.  @brand8590  The demographic problem exists in most developed countries of the world, for some even worse than for Germany. There are other countries such as African countries which have huge growth potential. Certainly, Europe can not compete with their growth. It is natural that you can grow more from a lower basis, as compared from a position that is already tall. Even more important is to accept challenges, strengthen the EU, strengthen all our economies and work together keeping our core industries abreast. What we +must+ avoid is being ground down in between the grinding blocks of two giant superpowers.

  1296.  @brand8590  your last reply has been removed, I could only read it partially. That what you mentioned is exactly the reason why I say the EU has to be strengthened. The US shifted attention more to Asia, which is the reason why Xi encouraged Pootina to start the redundant war, so the US would be distracted from Asia. (Same reason btw. why suddenly Hamas was supported to go into Israel and kill 1200 people). It seems at this moment as if Pootina is progressing, but that is not so. 30% of his economy is now war economy. He is pumping his own country empty like a vacuum.

  1335.  @aprildawn7837  mRNA is manufactured vaccine, not bred in eggs. They place the immune information into the messenger RNA. In the body the mRNA itself dissolves, but the immune information stays there. It is like an envelope that destroys itself. No dead or modified virus from chimpanzees or similar is being used. This principle causes exactly the same immune reaction as if you were infected with the real thing. If there is a mutation, they just need to change that particular protein to the new one, and continue production after a relatively short test. That would take 2 - 4 months, not years. Old-fashioned vaccines have to be redone, and then bred again in eggs. The process takes a long time. The exception is flu, where they have decades of experience and which only has a few "standard forms".

It did cross my mind already before, that it may not be possible anymore to really "win" a war with these high-tech weapons available. But that does not mean the US armed forces could not be successful with certain military operations. The most powerful weapon anyway is the will of the people. Ukraine people know very well what they want, and that is not to be under Russian administration. In opposite, the Afghanistan people did not support the West.

  1363.  @andersonklein3587  I highlighted one important point that has to be considered when looking at energy alternatives. Coal, gas and oil are just more flexible and do not need to run at least 25 - 30 years for being economical. The power plants are there. We want to get away from all this as much as possible, as soon as possible. That is the long term plan. You might have a different thinking about what should be the long term plan, and that's democracy. I personally support the plan to get away from all nuclear and fossil energies. Germany has a long term plan that happens not to be similar to Frances. I believe in 20 years time the German users will wear a grin at their faces looking at what others are missing.

I believe they do understand now better the motivation behind. It is all (use a bad word here) what Russia and China are saying regarding the NATO. The endless repetition of the same, and throwing of dirt onto Europe has the purpose that in the end some of the dirt will stick.

  1380. DW, that interview with the Singapore professor really did not work. Safe entry is just a link to a website. It is not a constant tracing of my location. The TraceTogether app as well is not a tracing your location system. The main purpose is catching the phone numbers of people who are for more than a few minutes near me. This data is stored in my device only, nothing is being send out. In case I get infected, I can choose to upload the contact data to the Ministry of Health. In case one of the people I met gets infected, and that person allowed to use this data they will contact me with the help of the phone number. The data is stored for two weeks rolling. It is not compulsory, I can decide any time if I allow them to use this data. I think both items are a relatively small and acceptable sacrifice on privacy for the benefit of better protecting people and tracing infection clusters. Everyone who is using an Android phone gives out every minute tenfold the data asked here. Google and Facebook are more trustworthy than your own government? Laughable. I think that is another interview that went down as Western media false presumptions here in Singapore.

You respond similar. 335 Million Euros - what a waste for a vaccine that is not even has good as the one from Biontech.

  1432.  @edgarvoneverec2544  The first LNG terminal will be ready in December, if everything works according to plans.The overall Russian gas need has been already reduced by about 1/3 through contracts with Sheik Yerbuti, and others. Together with the gas storage available this will be enough to overcome the winter, if it is a normal German winter. If it is much colder than usual some bearable restrictions might be implemented. But the prices will climb, it is unavoidable. We are a free market economy. And the government is compiling a system of help for those in need, at least for the next 2 years. It is very sure not everyone can be made happy, but we can overcome this. The EU's GDP is 10 times higher than Russias. Their GDP is at about the level of Italy. I doubt the government will listen directly to what people want. The majority are elders who they don't like change and are scared to loose anything of their convenient life. Our democracy works this way, that we can give the politicians the bill during the next elections. And BTW, Democracy is not that everybody can always have a say. Democracy is, if you can turnover your government without shedding blood. From there on different forms of democracy are possible.

Most of German's gas consumption though is used for industry and commerce, 37 % plus 13 % respectively, and 31 % for private household heating. I do not know for the UK, but for the EU territory Russia is only delivering 9% of their previous quantity. I think it would be nice to have these 9 %. However, it would not kill us, if Putina closed the tap. We have to overcome this coming winter, the next winter then we all will be much better prepared. There is no need to panic. We pay higher prices, but this is a low price compared to the price the Ukraine pays.

Our lockdown was 7 weeks last spring. But that meant yo still could go to buy things, visit the doctor or whatever important things you had to do. Jogging for example was also allowed. I never saw so many aunties in tight stretch leggins in my entire life before. Frankly speaking, the anglo-saxon countries are not in best shape, IMO.

For an average citizen in China it is quite impossible getting western covid vaccine. For most Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccination campaigns are a year and longer ago. It's weaker effect has waned even more by now. They will have a rough winter coming, exactly as what the commenter mentioned, and probably exporting virus for a second time. Biontech offered China vaccine several times, they rejected. Instead, they caused trouble for Taiwan, when they wanted to buy it. Later the US and Germany exported some as donations to Taiwan, other quantities were bought by private companies by Taiwan that China has no influence on. Pfui CCP still insists they only have the good of the people in mind.

When I watched old film material from the time before and then from 20, 25 years later, it was hard to believe that this is the same country. The industrialization that had taken place in the 20's and 30's ... there is hardly any country in the world that has managed such a huge change in such a short time.

In my eyes we do not don't need the "Chinese" mistake and always look at the old soup. We better look into the future. In 2024 Trump might be re-elected as a president of the USA. If that happens, we have Xi, Putin and Trump, 3 bandit dictators ruling the world.

  1484. @paper plane Iraq was based on a lie. Germany voted "No". The foreign policy of the USA after the 2. world war often was a disaster. The USA is basically a big island, most people do not know much about the world. That only to the background. But you can not throw that what the US does together with the Ukraine in one basket. A nato membership was not on the table. Europe has done nothing to aggravate this situation. For years we had been putting all bets on diplomacy and trade. Nobody wanted any kind of war with Russia.

Russia literally is done already, but that Putin should have a good morning stretch on his balcony. And Iran, the people are really not like these stone-age old men want them to be. It is a modern, forward-looking nation.

It will be an ongoing massive problem in the region that might cause the end of the China we know. That is what I believe.

  1527. This is only the tip of the iceberg. The connection established with Singapore during this video conference has been tapped into. People, do not use messengers or video programs produced in the US or China. Nothing at all, not even for a moment! Despite endless promises of encryption ... it's all fluff, marketing burb. Especially educational institutions, research, industry, administration, defence, etc., should exclusively use Europe-developed apps, preferably those following Swiss or German regulations. I hope that this serves as a lesson for everyone now. No encryption promises! Nothing is secure with Zoom, Webex and WhatsApp handling matters, not even casually. All security marketing is gibberish. Do not use it, even if you don't have to discuss Taurus. And, by the way, YouTube is also getting worse with its algorithm.

  1528.  @VladimirPutin-p3t  To add on to your post, it is an extremely uneven situation. Russia obtains millions of ammunitions from North Korea, and other attack weapons from Iran.

  1544.  @vanchopski1  I think it's the unreasonable people in Europe, the population, not the politics. The US and the UK had been on the verge of collapsing due to pandemic mismanagement. There it is the bad governance. They have been saved from a complete collapse literally 1 second before twelve, by the arrival of the vaccines. But the world thinks Europe is the worst. The US and the UK are the only producing nations which do not share vaccine, or not in meaningful quantities. Europe exported 75 Million doses from its 98 Million. Yet the world thinks Europe practices vaccine nationalism.

There are much much better methods to teach strategic thinking. I am shocked about the lack of knowledge that so many of the youngsters have, because many spend hours every day on these games.

Even countries that are usually critical against the US do fully support the defense of the Ukraine. There is no way to win anything there for Putin, even if that madman wins some land. Every day war will make Russia poorer. And even if he kicks off his smallest nuclear weapon only, his country will be farmland afterwards.

Germany blew it royally. From one of the big economies with only a few hundred death and super low R0, to trailing the UK. Experts wondered how that happened, the excellent results of the governments measures throwing away so easy.

  1605.  @emil-vasileholingher1514  that with the unipolar and multipolar world is a Chinese invention. There is nothing like "The West", they mean USA. It is similar as saying "China" when you really mean Asia. Secondly, if Russia loses this war, China may become more relevant since there is one world power less to deal with, and they may get easier access to South Siberia, which they are extremely keen on.
    1
  1606.  @emil-vasileholingher1514  Sorry these are not spheres in which Europeans are thinking. The world is not unipolar or multipolar, the West is not the US. And even the US is not only simply one, same as Russia is not. Europe simply does not want to get ground in between two world powers, and that is all. Secondly, and that applies for most countries in the world, we still very much prefer to live in democracies. Not in autocratic systems, and even lesser in fascists systems such as China, North Korea or Russia. In principle, if Xi just closed the borders in China, they could live any way they wanted to. But China wants the entire south part of Siberia, full stop. They believe that they need this land, since they have so little. I do not care really about your old wars and Manchuria.

Dictators always end up in prison, in exile in another dictatorial country but then with limited movement like Honecker, at a wall with holes in the body like Ceaușescu, or in a hole in the soil like Hussein. Nowadays, fewer countries are willing to give a cushy home to ex-dictators and exile has become more difficult. Prison is too expensive to house a worm. Therefore, the last two options today have become quite common solutions for a problem.

The UK were arxelickers, especially in the last years, France trailing behind them with a certain distance. If the EU had only stood up with one voice earlier ...

  1636. 11:26 many people are rejecting the vaccination Look, you DW and all public media allow these conspiracy theorists and tin-foil hat wearers to spread their wild theories and assumptions. First it was only a few. Then they grew exponential, now they are really nasty and in big numbers. It was very clear to me, if this is going to be allowed and not responded to appropriately, some of it will keep sticking with people. "Some" is enough. Just throw a lot of dirt, some of it will always keep sticking. Be careful - it is not safe, it is not tested well. Even now I am still missing hard data, for example about successful immunizations, reports about problems regarding vaccination related problems, numbers of people with strong reactions in relation to the numbers of vaccinated, etc.. All we hear is: Go and get vaccinated. We think, we believe, it seems. That is not enough. And then, regarding Astrazeneca. From the beginning this company had communicated their product wrongly. In total a 12000 person test panel, in two groups with different efficacy results, thin data about people above 65 yo. Wow. Then the bad decision not sharing the doses fairly. The EU had put big money on the table for the factory in Belgium. What do you expect? Bad image all around, a bad image also colours over to the other pharma-companies: "This is a rip-off, they invented covid for profit." ... and honestly, I also rather want Pfizer-Biontech, Moderna or Sputnik.

  1643.  @demef758  I do not think it is a reasoning to congratulate any dead people. It is congratulating the success for the country. The Ukraine has no choice. They have to fight. It would cost many more Ukrainian lives if they don't. BTW. In the very beginning, most Ukrainians did not even hate the Russian soldiers. They knew that the real culprit sits safely at his desk in the Kremlin, behind a battery of 70s telephones. As these men did all these documented horrible atrocities, things changed. Understandable, isn't it? It did not demoralize people and decrease the will to defend, as what the Russians thought ... the opposite happened. The same is true in regard to all the shelling of schools, hospitals, memorial monuments. That's how they became even more confident they have to save their country.

  1644. Germany will do what needs to be done, as it did before. The data do not support the general impression that Germany is doing nothing. But, it is rather horrific for many Germans to ever see pictures of German tanks pointing at a Russian target again. Secondly, France for example hesitates, too. The opinions on the subject are not as undivided as many think. It's just that Germany is again made to the scapegoat.

  1650. First of all, in the first place the sanctions are not meant to hit the ordinary people in Russia. They are meant to hit the economy, the rich people, and politics. Why does everyone look only at how Russians live, and take this point as a proof for no sanctions are working? Secondly, a brief look into history may tell us something about GDP during war times. The German GDP increased by about 25 % in total until 1943. Most Germans did not know anything much about war or related problems, and lived every year more comfortable.

  1657. Curevac was supported by German taxpayer money. The main stakeholder though is SAP. The company was founded with the purpose to develop better and cheaper vaccines. The difference to other corona vaccines is, the technology they use enables the vaccine to be adapted to future virus. Some of the other companies utilize old technologies and old marketing, and that is why they seem faster. Read the post of "Why do people ..." above.

  1658. Russia is spreading distrust among Europeans. They undermine the societies by polarizing and splitting the people. They bribe top members of right-wing parties in most countries, which is why most right parties in the EU are "Pootin-friendly", among them the Afd in Germany. They manipulate the young generation via media such as TikTok. They have a battalion of internet workers, who vote down Pootin-unfriendly posts, so the algorithm will remove them in seconds. What stays standing there is the Pootina-affine stuff, incl. here on Youtube. That is how many are pulled over to believe that what is said there is true.

  1665. @Six Waves It is known that all vaccines help to prevent serious course of the sickness, incl. the ones from Chinese companies. But you seem to mix up some things. For example, many people mix up efficacy and efficiency. Yes, therefore it would be good to get an update and overview about what is known so far about the different vaccines.
    1
  1666. @Six Waves The efficacy of Biontech is determined here in Singapore at 69 % for the delta variant. For the other variants efficacy has been practically found in the range as claimed by Biontech. Singapore is using only Biontech and Moderna for the official vaccination drive. The success is convincing. Everyone in ICU or on oxygen are people unvax or 1 time vax. In particular the nos. of elderly in ICU have drastically decreased. We are getting these numbers every day by government message. Efficiency to prevent serious course is near 100 % for us. At the same time all neighboring countries - all of them - i.e. Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, who use mainly Sinovac reported record numbers of infections, even among those fully vaxxed. They do however still get benefit of decreasing the number of serious cases. Thankfully. From our perspective here in Singapore, there is surely no reason to speak about a failure of western vaccine. It was a lucky kick over the goal line just at the right moment. Biontech researched for 20 years on it. I have no idea where the 30 % that Brasil reports are coming from. May be it applies for the Lambda variant, which all vaccines are unsatisfactory effective against.
    1
  1667. @Six Waves I do not know anything about anyone at DW saying Sinovac being a failure. I doubt they would come out with the term failure for it ... unless they had talked about the success in the market. Nobody with a brain wants it anymore.. Both efficacy and efficiency are relevant data points. Anyway, I lived in China, and I do not trust anything from them since then. I am biased, yes.
    1
  1668. @Six Waves The new data Israel published now are not being recognized, as the number of people was too small. 2 weeks ago they said 64 %. Usually the data Biontech themselves has are the most reliable, which means to me I'll wait for that. Curevac is a not good news. It seems they were too ambitious.

  1669. I was one of the many who believed that Europe is matured enough, there will never be a war anymore in our region. I was wrong. One ixiot dictator in the neighbourhood is enough, and he throws everything over, damage positive developments, kill my family. And finally - also thinking about Russia - imagine all the billions of recourses that are blown up, instead of investing them in the future of the children, the nation.

  1670.  @ВладимирМозговой-л5э  I disagree with what you say but I agree with spending the money on children, educating and protecting them. I have been many times to beautiful Yugoslavia, from alp mountains in Slovenia to Montenegro, almost everywhere, down to the border post to Albania near the Shkodar Lake I really like it's people and the land. But it was a "structure" that could not provide a complete nation with stability. IMO. The USA was and still is the world police, since after the 2. world war. They have done many mistakes, I often I disagree with their foreign policies. They are like the odd islanders who do not know much about the main country. However, we had overall more peace in the world, generally the world was economically more stabil for more than 60 years. It was a bad balance let by a superpower, but it was a balance. What do we have now?

  1680.  @antonios111  Replace it with: "This is not so." Better? In particular Curevac, they are busy since 12 years to develop a cancer vaccine. Now came Corona. They had the technology, and corona is easier than cancer. Therefore it took relatively short time to do it. I guess that is similar for other companies, I just happen to know Curevac in more detail. In 10 years they will be able to prevent several kind of cancers, rabis, most of the annual Influenza happening. HIV is not priority, yet.

They have no significant other economy, except the exporting of raw materials. Their industry is on the status of about mid 80s. They can't produce weapons without the western chips, yep, not even a car with ABS and catalyser. We do not need to do anything much. We just wait until they crumble, just like the SU crumbled. Let's talk again in winter.

  1690.  @diamstf958  First of all, Germany certainly has not much influence about policies of other countries. But what can be said is, it was already decided years before Ukraine reducing and ultimately eliminate the usage of all fossil energy. You may not know that Germany is currently generating about 40 % of its energy from renewables. For 2030 the plan was 50 %, and for 2040 = 80 %. So this situation - including the high fossil energy prices - just accelerates the process. I can't help it if Putin is too silly to comprehend this, or how he is strengthening the Nato and the EU. What we see is a 100% fail of his foreign policies. And he is even telling his nonsense every day on state TV, about us urgently needing his gas and the entire EU becoming a refrigerator in winter. We want to get away from it, it's decided, keep it, north-stream it into your rear side. And the China business is under scrutiny as well. It's just that everyone is talking about Ukraine at current.

  1697. Germans worry every day about how to pay their bills, getting food on the table, staying warm in winter, buying toys getting a job and plan to buy a home. Sometimes they have to go into the park cutting wood for their heatings. Right, yep that's the reality. Where are you from, btw?

  1698. China does not have many direct friends. However, those states that are dealing with terror, military violence or current wars are in a close relationship with China. Prominent examples are Iran, North Korea and Russia. There is a defence pact with North Vietnam. As well, China prefers dictatorships or repressive states as trade partners.

  1699.  @anna_razumovich  Biontech is or now better: was a very small company from Germany. They researched mRNA for other purposes. Pfizer got only involved because the German company needed a partner from the US, otherwise they'd been pushed away from the US market. I did not like that partnership from the beginning. The company is still small compared to Pfizer, but they are now rich. The owner couple however were already one of the wealthiest people in Germany. They did some good things.

Certainly the Chinese government has the power to do that, probably one of the very few existing government who do have this kind of power over their people. About 3000 people died 2001 in the US, during a completely useless attack. That made our world worse. Here are about the same numbers, plus so much more suffering. And similarly, it will not make our future better but worse. Where are the outcries of the world? The CCP pollutes the waters and the air in unprecedented dimensions. They allow to taint food including baby food. The most viruses come from China, now this one. They have to stop, they have to be stopped. This man is 100 % spot on.

  1730. No. They said the sanctions will need months to kick in. They said that almost every day. It is true that Russia was able to buffer some of the sanctions effect through the higher energy prices. But this is ending now. No negotiations with Putin, only with a successor.

  1731. You have several hotspots that are terrible. Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad are examples. Ask the German government if they can help. May be they can send some experienced personal, or they can accept a few critical cases. Even if it is only a few hundred patients, it will be a symbol and strengthening the relationship. I'd love to see that. All the best, India!

Azerbaijan: There are 2 existing pipelines that go through Azerbaijan which end in the Turkeye. Not unthinkable to connect/extend one of them to India. The one that leads to Pakistan through Iran is also still under construction. This was a video generally bringing up the possibility of future gas routes but they do not exist yet, not about issues you mentioned. And lastly, if you believe that in case of conflicts or souring relations you will be treated any different than the EU, then by all means: go ahead.

For example SA will try longer intervals in between the doses. Until then they halted the AZ roll-out.

If it seems ineffective with milder cases, what would you expect for more severe cases? Better efficacy?

European countries had given you a way out of this, you did not pick up the hand that was offered to you. I simply do not need to answer that silly question.

Did you know that? Only one of several reasons. "EU is jsut another CCP" and "EU is just the 4th Reich" Seems conflicting information. What now? China of yesterday was poor because of their bad communist regimes. China now is even more capitalist then the capitalist USA. That is the lesson they learned form the US. PRC = Peoples Republic of Capitalism. The truth is, China is already beyond capitalist. "Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, as well as strong regimentation of society and of the economy." from Wiki. That is the definition that perfectly hits the nail onto it's head.

  1808.  @jiaxingchen7236  And that exactly is wrong. The EU had constantly been saying there will be no Nato membership of the Ukraine. For example 2007 at the Munich Security Conference by German foreign Minister W. Steinmeier, and last on 18. of Feb 2022 by our chancellor Scholz, in Person, in Moscow. 6 days before ... when he lied that there will be no war! The video of this meeting is available on Youtube for everyone to see. DO YOU PEOPLE REALLY HAVE SUCH A SHORT MEMORY? That will of course change thoroughly. New members will join the Nato, i.e. Finland and Sweden, new resources will be allocated to make the Nato stronger than ever. Europe had been rudely awakened from a sleepy pacifist configuration to a union that will brace itself against Russia. Putin calculated with Europe being split up and sunken in internal disputes, but the opposite had happened. Putina has failed on all accounts. He destroyed the reputation of Russia for decades to come. Europe will never allow that he will ever set again a food anywhere in Europe. Everyone who is his friend is guilty of participating in murder.

There are several models, and unlike cars they can be very different and parts not always interchangeable. Wenn Baerbock said: "Germany won't block anyone who wants to help the Ukraine with tanks" then nobody except Poland stepped forward."

  1829.  @PaulGirdlestone  If you have possibilities to teach critical thinking, then it is still better than in China. Then I am relieved, in a way. But also then China may have a problem sometime into the future. In Germany, there is also "national" education, but the teacher is allowed to introduce other views and discuss them. It's not clad as something like national security. Here in Singapore they strive to a patriotic coloured eduction very strong, I do see it influences people. And my son, too. Some part I do understand, not all of it is good for people. BTW. China has territorial claim towards 17 countries in Asia. But the people seem to ignore this fact. I believe the HK people should decide to whom they want to belong, same applies for the people in Taiwan, or the Ukraine.

  1830.  @rochesterjohnny7555  you are right, ausbluten = bleeding them out. Keep them busy there ... and then install a bridgehead towards the Crimea. Ukraine knows, if Putin looses the Crimea he's done. The bridgehead only needs to be near enough to reach strategic points on the Crimea from a distance with weapons they have already. Once there will be bombing Russian people will leave the Crimea. And that will be the end. This is also why they damaged the Kerch bridge. The Ukrainian army does not even need to be on the Crimea, it suffices to be near enough to reach them.

  1840.  @Viewable11  The "success" must be achieved before the 09 of March, until the end of this month I would think. In a huge area like this there is always a loophole here and there, which may allow still some supplies. You do not know where. But they know, it's their terrain. The soldiers in there know most of them have to die one way or the other, anyways.They will fight even with their bare finger nails, if they need to. That means the danger that it drags is just too much. Regarding what I said about China. China is no better than the US with using other countries as proxies. Someone found a Chinese map from before the war actually started. They divided the Ukraine into several countries ... everything labelled with Chinese names. 4, precisely. This is only one example. China knew about it before, and they even planned it together with Putina.

Wait until the end of this year, and you will see our future-ready products." (by meaning, not accurate by wording) Now VW says "We are running fast, but we are running 50 m behind and need to catch up". I say: It is hard for you to change, and to develop anything else than the dinosaur cars you are selling since decades. You are losers.

The reason was mainly his Nato Double-Track decision, which today is seen as one of the pillars bringing the SU down, and Mr. Schmidt seen as one of the best statesmen Germany ever had. 2005: Gerhard Schroeder, Vote of Confidence and loses. Mainly because of his so-called agenda 2010. Today, agenda 2010 is seen as a most successful initiative, and many people are asking for a new agenda 2030. 2024 Olaf Scholz, Vote of Confidence. He had been sabotaged for more than a year by one of the coalition partners, the FDP. Doing anything was not possible anymore. He will lose it because - yep: why ... why .... ? In all Votes of Confidence, either the CDU or the FDP or both brought an SPD chancellor down. Two of these times they brought men down who later were seen by many as two of the greatest German statesmen ever. Draw your own conclusions, after 16 years not bringing the CDU auntie down.

If you sign a loan for your new house over 30 years which takes 30 % of your income, and you know that if you fail to repay then they will take your house away, then you have no choice but to stay put and work even in the most shxty job. That what it is about.

  1864.  @masaakikihara2608  this is sure not due to China's activity but due to Africa's tremendous population growth. China holds about 1 % of Africa's trade, not every Chinese investment is worrisome, but many are unreasonable and the intention easy to see.

They manipulate the young generation via media such as TikTok. They have a battalion of internet workers, who vote down Pootin-unfriendly posts, so the algorithm will remove them in seconds. What stays standing there is the Pootina-affine stuff, incl. here on Youtube. That is how many are pulled over to believe that what is said there is true.

For months the Who played down the entire issue - In January Tedros said the transmissions from human to human are unlikely, while in Wuhan (officially) 14000 people where infected. Did they all have bats as pets or what happened? - In February, they still said masks could do more damage than help. - In the same months Tedros still claimed there is no reason for not travelling to China. When the US banned US flights, Xi thundered down from his ivory tower that this is completely unwarranted and a hysteric measure. - Tedros did not declare Covid-19 a pandemic until 11 March 2020 !!! This declaration is important, because it is the signal for countries to raise protection and prevention levels. And now people standing there and blaming countries reacting 2 months too late. What is wrong with this woman? What is wrong with the world?

We know today that the Germany's policy to try with diplomacy and trade towards Russia was wrong. I can't fault them trying in a peaceful manner. Now Putin started the war saying he needs to prevent the Ukraine being part of the Nato. Bxllshit. He wants strong influence in Europe, and power over Eastern Europe. Lastly, a politically weak Europe is fully in Chinese interest. Sorry if I repeat myself, but I am not going to re-read the 150 posts.

  1915. There is a growing hostility towards what people think is "The West". Actually they mean the US, but they can't see any difference in between for example Germany or France vs. the UK or the USA. Realistically, they have absolutely no knowledge about the western countries and who they really mean are the Anglo-Saxon countries. But even that they do not really know. Therefore, it is a war of Russia vs. the US and Nato, even though the EU countries haven't done anything to harm Russia. True is the opposite, for too long the EU tried diplomacy, trade and appeasement.

  1919.  @spudsmackenzie13  She had a reasonable tone and word choice, unlike others, those people "make peace with Putin", as if nobody ever tried. Now to your comment. Yes I agree, of course he will come back for more bites. The next one would be taking Moldavia. South Ukraine would be clamped from West and East. In fact, there would be only a small piece South-Ukraine left around Odessa, which then is easy to close for him. This would have consequences, as it would make Ukraine to a landlocked country not being able to export and do anything what Putin does not allow. This is his plan. In fact I doubt Ukraine would survive as a landlocked country. Signs of this are obvious to me.

He will be recorded into history books as the one having started the first war in Europa after 77 years of peace, and probably also putting Russia into deep poverty. If he lays hands on nuclear weapons ... please send a special unit. I would not think there will be too much resistance, nobody in the world wants a nuclear war.

  1950.  @UJCentral  I fully agree with what you said about the sub-alliances. SEA needs to work together more. SEA will be squashed in between the two world powers, if there will be no way to support eachother through alliances. Same as the situation in Europe. China has territorial disputes with 17 Asian nations, some of these as we know very aggressive, and they are getting more aggressive with every day.

  1975.  @vitaliiivanov9514  In practice, letting the market decide does not mean the most people-friendly solution will win, it means the one with most financial power will win. Why did Betamax die? Why was PAL not worldwide the dominant TV system? Why are cars so overwhelmingly dominant in the US? Letting AirBnb do whatever they like means, that a huge part of housing is taken away from people who actually live in that place or city. This applies especially to those in city centers, and the most beautiful and liveable places. If you can earn a $100 per day with AirBnb, why rent it out to ordinary families for a reasonable rent that people can afford? The result are astronomic local rents, and deserted city centers. Just that happened over and over. The main problem are not hotels. The strategy of that marketing genius is, by mentioning that he only distracts from what are the real issues.

Or something else, did you know that 70 likes or dislikes here on Youtube can be used to compile a character profile that is 90% accurate? 300 - 400 and you are made of glass for them. I had an email exchange with one of the persons who sat there in that committee in the beginning of the 90s, the Internet authority in the US I forgot the name, told me exactly this frank and open. He asked me then: If you can get a new form of media that is free but you have to endure a small portion of ads and that, would that not be ok? Later what came was not a small portion of ads, it was all kinds of shxt, xenis enlargements, links to xorn websites, herbal "remedies" of a certain kind, in short: no valid advertisements but only junk and cheats.

    1
  1995.  @JoeKyser  Alright, they are cutting into their own flesh, so it seems to me. Here in Singapore people usually start with a 15 days annual leave and 15 days medical leave. More annual is up to negotiation or company policy. Medical leave stays at 15 days, but more depends how much you are covered by any insurance plan either provided by the company or private. I have never met anyone who was left alone after 15 days. It is the same for all sexes. My last annual leave entitlement was 25 days. About medical I don't even know how much I had, since I never needed more than 2 days.

The result - among other things - is one of the highest death rates among all developed countries. The mRNA vaccine is developed by German company Biontech. Pfizer their partner is mostly distributing it, since Biontech is a small company only. US Moderna has obtained a licence for this platform from Biontech. And then YOU explain to me about taking responsibility?! That is amazing.

  2028. @Chloe Turner I believe many Europeans were quite surprised by the sudden change of Britain regarding the pandemic issues. Most of us still thought that Britain would work together in these areas, despite the economical separation.

  2050.  @Manuel-gu9ls  I as well would trust the Russian development more than the Chinese. Anyway, let's get away from politics. The Russian is made on virus vector platform. The Moderna, Pfizer and Novavax is made on mRNA platform. The Chinese Sinovac and Sinopharm are made on 60 year old technology platform. These are bred empty virus, same like every flu shot. They usually reach 50, 60 % efficacy, not more. If your country uses the Sinovac, you will need to immunise every single person before reaching herd immunity. With mRNA you will reach that at 60 % vaccination rate.

For these countries the pandemic war will not be over for a long long time. And that means, nobody of us will safe. Some will blame the west, instead of having made the right decision to start with.

  2083.  @bobcharles7716  The 63 % say "remain at status quo" because they want to remain in peace and not have conflict with CCP. The world does not want China to own 50 or 70 % of the microchip market (depends how you count), which would be NOT good for anyone. Besides, if I'm Taiwanese, why should I give up my achievements?

  2089.  @susansmith9263  Mr. Zhang had a strange crush on Ms. Peng, however she had refused over years to be his mistress. Zhang Gaoli then came to her house with body guards, and forced her to open the door. Mr. Zhang proceeded to rape Ms. Peng, while the two security staff were waiting at the front door. After she complained Ms. Peng then disappeared for weeks completely from public. A letter that she posted with her side of story was removed from the internet after her disappearance. After 3 weeks there was an odd interview with her published, which many people in China found to be strange. In that interview she refuted what she said before. It is only the public pressure that made the government moving against Mr. Zhang. Her revelations and the events afterwards remain censored in China until today. The entire story was a total disgrace, it showed very much about the inner workings of the oppressive system. But you make it even to an example of how well the system in China works. Pfui.

Obviously not from a market. - In view of the immense economical and human damage in the world, can the originator be made to do some compensations? - If a government obviously and openly disregards expert advices and knowledge, and does not care to implement best known practices for keeping a pandemic in bail as much as possible, can this government be charged for criminal acts? - Why can the WHO award honours to 4 countries for having the best Covid-19 practices, namely Indonesia, South Africa, Thailand and Uzbekistan, while others such as Taiwan and New Zealand and Australia are so much more successful? Has this something to do with all the 4 countries mentioned buying the vaccine produced in China? Good luck cracking these nuts.

The side effects range from a light swelling and itch on the place of injection to 2 days feeling down as if the person had drunken too much. Exactly what all experts expected to happen.

    1
  2107.  @DHSNAKE  CFR = Case Fatality Rate The important part is: For fighting a pandemic you have to be pro-active. This means, when there was the first wave, countries should have kept measures a bit longer, may be 2 -3 weeks longer. It would have provided a bit of a safety buffer, which can greatly help to stretch the time before numbers get critical. Additionally, it was well known the upcoming winter season would be problematic. This means politicians should have decided to implement a few pro-active measures in advance. (the rest was Germany-specific)

If then one day the Chinese do not want that German brand BMW anymore, they may be facing their end. I think it will come that way.

For example, they do need to explain more clearly why they are doing this or that, and what is the general idea behind. Or, some issues are addressed too hastily, the resulting mistakes are a "marketing" disaster. That happens since they have no time left to facilitate change, because for 16 years almost nothing happened. Unfortunately the people now run in masses to a right wing party instead of blaming the old government. Come on stoooooopid people, and show me a country that is governed by a right wingers and is doing well.

The healthcare system just adopted this utter nonsense. On 03. of March 2020 Australia stopped 8 containers of protective equipment incl. masks leaving Sydney to China. That was the last time Chinese were trying to do this, AFAIK. On 01. Feb Taiwan forbid the export of masks to any country, they know their comrades from the mainland best. Seems that someone had tried to buy massive amounts masks there. Around the same time a German wholesaler had written twice to the German health minister warning that Chinese 3. parties bought repeatedly huge amount of masks from their stocks, and asked them what to do. They did not even receive an answer. I had read a copy of one of the original letters, which was reprinted in a German political magazine.

You need to have several properties, from which most should be fixed during your upbringing: - no spine - no own will, except the will to put your pocket full of money - no social concerns, or even awareness - know how to bypass the laws and being ruthless in doing so - know how to empty talk using terms of bullshxt bingo (leverage, win-win, fastrack, empower, game plan, roadblock, etc.) - The elite: Knowing how to smash a company at the wall ... and still exit with a 150 million $ bonus!

  2133. One month later. Wear masks, keep distance, no private parties, stay at home more and be aware when you go somewhere. The pre-winter numbers are shocking for some countries. Do not let it come to more lockdowns. Help the governments and the health systems. It is important, and depends on each of you.

  2136.  @alexquinn773  they are sitting there in the CCP headquarters with rice vine on the table, cheer each others, laughing until rolling on the floor. And not only laughing from that. But also from the US, the UK and Israel now buying the market empty from vaccines. All 3 with having worst pandemic management.

  2137. I do not see how the US has done anything wrong here. They observed the balloon to see what it's doing. They jammed it's antennas to block submitting data. They waited until there were no more dangers from debris falling down. There was no hysteria or any overreacting. The ones who were standing again there and shouting out were from China. And the explanation they provided for the balloon is one that assumes the other side is retarded.

  2138. The economy of this country was more robust than we all thought, but I see signs they are not that far from the edge now. Secondly, not being able to gain anything significant if you are 3 - 4 times stronger is hardly a sign of power, and even less of a victory.

  2144. 0:30 yep ... and then just read some of the responses you are getting here. I suspect many of these anti-vaccers don't really care about the vaccine safety. They have other aims. These aims are more related to sowing distrust and getting people distrusting government institutions and questioning democracy. That is why for example they always highlight about taking away freedom, or criminalisation of the people who brake the rules. Their campaigns were very successful. I have been writing about it countless times. I almost feel like the lonely caller in the desert. As an example, listen to the comment of the male nurse in the beginning ... horrible. Should exactly a health worker believe such things? He should know better, really.

The importance of the trip was the issue in question, I cite myself: >> On one side the intention of the KMT to get back into power.<< Very little chance. >> On the other side how important that visit might be for China.<< Very little. That were their answers. No more, no less.

  2151.  @skazka3789  This might be but I don't care really. I prefer to think about the future. With Taiwan together, China would own ~ 70 % of the microchip market. That is no good for the entire world, I think that almost the entire world will fight that situation.

That fascist dictator kills a dozen of his critics, and the first thing that worm above is saying "nothing changes". What ... does he really think that Euro-countries never tried to sit at the table with Putin? Do you remember the pictures of Putin sitting all the Europeans politicians 15 m away? Caravans of people were in Moscow, everyone of any rank from Europe. What is wrong with that blue man above?

  2165.  @williamzabiski7653  China never had a democratic system. They have not the slightest idea and clue about it. For the average Chinese, the CCP is the most glorious government ever, better than most of what is in the world anywhere. All "flaws" of the CCP are being thought to be mistakes of the lower ranking officials and local administrations.

  2166. It is time thinking of eliminating Putina, just as they did Bin Laden. It is wrong, but better than thousands of innocent people more dead.
    1
  2167. She not only misunderstood him completely. She also knew nothing about his positions in general. He keeps warning to do nothing supporting escalation. I think Petraeus is one of the few who really understands Putina's primitive thinking world. He is the kind of alpha-monkey who you have to tell, stern: "Do NOT do this! If you do this, here is exactly what will happen."

  2168. Did they use a small aircraft, installed a remote control system, and packed it full of fuel?

  2186. Please join the EU! Your country and it's people are a near perfect match. Together with Canada and Ukraine the EU would be a weighty political and economic power, a strong counter-power to the two existing world powers.

  2187.  @gyanendrakumar2350  Deutsche Welle is a German public, state-owned international broadcaster funded by the German federal tax budget. It has nothing to do with the government.

  2190.  @DarkRoomAmbience  40 % spending into the war machine, too high inflation, hundred thousand young men killed that would be needed to do jobs. Besides they found people on crutches being send to the frontline, on foot, with no protection, Lada cars and e-scooters being used to transport soldiers, the last T80 shot down soon, etc. etc.. I can not prove but I have a feeling they won't make it that much longer.

  2191.  @Pluscelamemechose  It's actually complacency. The lack of testing, too short quarantine, allowing arrivals to mix with regular population. Same here in Singapore. After months of "success" complacency had set in.

  2192. Here in Singapore, when a celebrity shows up at an event with certain sneakers, the next days these sneakers will be completely sold out. I know you are not Singaporeans, but I do not think your youths are that much different. They crave for their influencers. Thinking yourself is a thing of the past generations.

  2200. I live in Singapore, which is every year no. 1 or no. 2 in Pisa studies. My son is in secondary education at a top local school.

  2203.  @stinareed270  Deutsche Bank agreed to pay USD 130 Million "fine" to avoid charges over foreign corrupt practices and fraud laws. Bribery in common language. Therefore they helped Trump and his helper at the Deutsche Bank, Justine Kennedy, keeping the entire issue out of the public light. This would have been an unprecedented case in the entire history of presidents, a bribery case that is being resolved by paying another bribe.

  2205. So, this man has no knowledge what the Nato is, and he has no concrete plans but only concept of plans. As well, if we hear him speaking, we always have to know with who he spoke the last before for knowing where is momentary thoughts originate from. The most important person in his cabinet is a drug addict who bribed his way up and is full of himself and his own interests.

  2207. For weeks Biden said that China is planning to sell weapons to Russia. For months, China said "The West" is badmouthing China again, and extending the war. Last week at the Security Conference in Munich Wang said there will be a big peace initiative launched by China, which they will reveal on 24 of Feb. When I heard the date I knew already something lousy is coming up. What did come up? China is selling 100 Kamikaze drones to Russia, to deliver in April. How is Russia going to pay?

  2208.  @weiliao7642  This is a weird argumentation. Google has to follow Chines laws, but TikTok does not have to follow other countries regulations. Anyways, besides of these political questions, TikTok is poison for the brains. It is the worst out there in the market, by far. I have strictly forbidden my son to install TikTok, and he understands why.

Since 2015 more than a dozen have been poisoned, "fell" from windows, or endend their life in plane accidents. Some of these killings were even done under the death of others. Putin is fascist.

For example, that Wechat thing is for them to communicate, finances, daily life activities like interaction with public offices, tickets, shopping, etc.. The people in China depend on it, the government has complete control over it. You say only Tia-men Sq and you will receive a warning. Tikok is Chinese, btw. They also influence and control many western media outlets mainly the US, and important world organizations, such as the UN and the WHO. Dr. Tedros, the WHO's Director General has substantial shares of Chinese investments in his home country, Ethiopia. Find the video about how he was elected as the director, that's all needed to know.

  2238. The deceptive promise of a world market. Do not rely on the supplies of one single country or region. Rely on your own strengths as much as possible. Better grow organically and solid. For all things you do ask yourself first: Is that good for people? Can this improve the world?

  2239.  @gabrielc4136  I doubt they want to have any territory from Russia. They only want to remove the pressure from the hotspots inside Ukraine, and secondly they want the Russian population to feel what war means.

The EU and the Germans have tried for 20 years dealing with Russia through diplomacy, appeasement, and trade. Which is why we have so much gas and oil from Russia. Much to the dismay of the US. And now you are coming like this, we are US satellite. It is unbelievable childish.

  2247.  @CFDIntech  Ya sure, that's right. You have nothing that much to import from China, because you have nothing that is produced to put that into. And soon you will have no money to produce anything, except vodka and fur caps. Don't you see that you are destroying your own future and that of your children? Don't you see that Europe wanted trade and normal relations with Russia? I always believed that Russia is culturally so close, many people believed the same. Why do you prefer to split that vast country with so many natural resources and so much natural beauty in between a handful of corrupt oligarchs?

  2248.  @CFDIntech  This war costs USD 950 Million every day. Evgeniy, do you really think it is worth it? Wouldn't it be better to put this money into building roads, high speed trains, factories? Upgrade all the schools to educate your children better? It is wasted money, besides of wasted lives on both sides. Your mums will miss their sons the same way as the Ukrainian mums, and all only for the backwards ideas of an old man who can not stand to live in 2022, wanting to turn back time. Is it really worth it? We are culturally close, we could all grow and prosper together, instead of causing a massacre.

  2262. The counteroffensive was slow: 1. Because several European countries failed to deliver promised weapons in time 2. Because the front lines were mined in historically unprecedented ways, sometimes by up to 12 mines per meter. This density can not be handled anymore by automated mine clearers, it has to be done by hand. By soldiers who risk their lifes doing this.

  2263.  @pindot787  The DNA of that virus has been found to have two sequences that can't be explained by natural mutation from crossing over from one organism to the other. According to all current scientific knowledge, these should have been introduced due to lab-work. I am not in the position, I can't prove it's from the Wuhan lab. But there are so many indices, an attorney in front of a court would speak of an overwhelming amount of indices.

  2264.  @koenth2359  Where did anybody assert that he asserted that bats were traded at that wet market? It is the statement by the Chinese government, which he refers to.

  2265. ​@IronThreads You would need access to the raw lab data to see if exactly this things were touched, or not. The German scientist tried, to no avail. If the entire world blames you that you have poisoned your family, and you have the proof that is not so, would it not be logical that you wash your name and reveal that evidence? Or at least provide all evidence that you have to let other parties scrutinize it? Would it not be the easiest way to stuff the mouth of the US once for all, and reveal their true face in front of the entire word?

  2267. Vaccine is not only about number how many people can be protected. It is also trust. Astrazeneca has a questionable phase 3 study, not enough older people or people in difficult health situations included, delivered different efficacy figures from different countries, caused a huge mix-up of Chemicals in the US factory, g=had used questionable data to compile an efficacy number ... what else? From the first moment Astrazeneca has broken trust. Stop marketing you cheapo vector vaccine. We don't want it, in a few weeks there will be more vaccines from other companies.
