Germany's Economic Collapse: 2025 In Review And What Lies Ahead
Submitted by Thomas Kolbe
Germany's economy has endured a terrible 2025. Chancellor Friedrich Merz's government has set the course for further decline in the coming year.
If German politicians' salaries were linked to private sector growth, lawmakers would likely have to take out loans in the deeply recessive year of 2025 and compensate citizens for parliamentary inaction and ideological foolishness.
Although the term diät derives from the Latin dieta, loosely meaning “compensation,” in the context of Germany's collapsing industry it more accurately reflects the German meaning: deserved frugality and material austerity. Economically, Germany is now facing the end of the illusion of prosperity, which follows the catastrophic policies of the government.

"Locked & Loaded": Trump Says US Will Intervene If Iran Kills Protesters
President Trump has just become the first sitting US President to explicitly warn that the United States stands ready to directly intervene in Iran if Tehran authorities begin killing peaceful protesters, as he wrote Friday that Washington "will come to their rescue".

Trump's full message is as follows: "If Iran shots [sic] and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue."
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei did respond in very short fashion, with a senior aide from his office sayin...

Sascha Hasterok von Wellington über den wahren Schlüssel zur Energiewende, weshalb Gasinfrastruktur auch künftig gefragt bleibt – und warum Datencenter keine gute Investition sind.DAS INVESTMENT: Herr Hasterok, die Infrastruktur in Deutschland ist in weiten Teilen sehr veraltet und nun soll massiv investiert werden. Was erwarten Sie sich hiervon? Sascha Hasterok: Wichtiger als die 500 Milliarden sind die regulatorischen Veränderungen. In den USA sehen wir seit dem Inflation Reduction Act 2021, dass Energieinfrastruktur viel schneller gebaut werden kann, mit weniger Genehmigungsverfahren. Das wird auch in Deutschland ein Schlüssel sein. Können Sie das konkretisieren und ein Beispiel nennen? Hasterok: Wenn Sie heute ein Gaskraftwerk bauen, dann ist das für......
