In both states, the red/brown personality cult of the anti-American TV talk show demagogue Sahra Wagenknecht (doing business as the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance or BSW) scored between 12% and 15%; Wagenknecht is a pro-Putin appeaser and defeatist nostalgic for the Stasi years who also dabbles in right-extremist anti-immigrant wedge issues: she has never called for Putin to pull his invaders out of Ukraine, but immediately demanded that the Ukrainians leave Kursk in Russian territory;
These developments mark a dangerous threat to the free democratic constitutional order in the center of Europe, making mandatory the early termination of the Russian invasion of Ukraine by lifting all limitations and restrictions on the use of NATO-supplied long range weaponry by Kyiv against Russian military targets and infrastructure no matter where located;
Chancellor Scholz's three-party federal coalition in Berlin should also respond by helping to end the Ukraine war by delivering Taurus cruise missiles, and also by mitigating the immigration problem through measures modeled on Biden's recent tightening of US immigration and asylum criteria;
Breaking: In Gaza, Israelis report finding six hostages murdered by Sinwar and Hamas, with one of the victims the American citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, whose parents had pled for his life at the Democratic National Convention; Huge anti-Netanyahu demonstrations have occurred today all over Israel demanding a cease fire and the freeing of all hostages; Israel's Histadrut labor confederation has called for a general strike on Monday September 2, which all persons of good will should support;
The presence of American hostages still held and others likely already murdered by Sinwar or slain by IDF bombing fully justifies a US ultimatum to Netanyahu demanding an immediate ceasefire and return of hostages based on US national interest; If this is not forthcoming, the Biden administration must mobilize all capabilities to oust Netanyahu from power through the Knesset, early elections, or other legal means;

From the protests and General Strike, it's looking more like he Israeli themselves might get this done!
One thing I think can be done immediately is following the UK lead on this. Cease sending foreign aid and weapons to Netanyahu! (I'm not saying Israel because this is all on Bibi)!
That's a really good way to put this... America & Americans support Israel but we're not sending more foreign aid and weapons to #Netanyahu .

Well put! Totally agree!
With Telegram owner and billionaire Russian oligarch Pavel Durov arrested and charged in France, a new phase begins in the counterattack by the modern nation-state against the barbaric neo-feudal relics of globalization; Telegram has notoriously functioned not only as a communications system for illegal activities and organized crime, but has also served Russian aggressive military needs, information warfare, and espionage; This view is reflected in the extreme
