German Companies Skirt Sanctions To Help Putin's War Machine
"Germany continues to sell industrial goods to Russia, including machines for manufacturing vehicle and aircraft parts and ammunition, according to the Tagesschau news portal, which
reported on an investigation conducted by broadcaster SWR.
Putin needs a constant supply of military equipment, and due to the sanctions imposed on Russia blocking imports, large parts of Russian industry have been transformed to cater to a war economy, producing military equipment, ammunition and spare parts as required.
However, products from German mechanical engineering companies also continue to help out, with more than 300 machine deliveries for manufacturing everything from vehicle parts to ammunition made in Russia in 2023, often via Turkey, SWR research indicates.
SWR was able to identify more than 30 German manufacturers whose machines were imported to Russia last year, many of them based in Baden-Württemberg, a traditional location for mechanical engineering.
In around two-thirds of the cases, the machines were imported to Russia via Turkey." ZeroHedge

POLITICO Predicts Biden Will Turn on Israel to Help Harris Win Michigan
"Today in POLITICO, there was an intriguing analysis of the Middle East. In an article by Nahal Toosi and Robbie Gramer (“Biden raises pressure on Israel as war undercuts Harris”), the subtitle really says it all:
U.S. officials stress that the latest moves aren’t linked to November’s election; but the vice president could benefit.
Well, gosh! That’s a heckuva coincidence.
The article begins by noting that the Biden administration (interestingly, they declined to call it the Biden-Harris administration) is taking “fresh steps” to defuse tensions in the Middle East. Naturally, none of these “fresh steps” include pressuring the Palestinian terrorists, clamping down on Iran, or annihilating Islamic militias. But what did you expect? This is the Biden (and possibly Harris) administration.
“In recent days, President Joe Biden’s team has warned Israel that it must resume humanitarian aid to Gaza or face a cutoff in weapons shipments; wrested an apparent commitment from Israel not to strike Iranian nuclear and oil facilities; marked the anniversary of the killing of a Palestinian American boy; and publicized the steps it is taking to fight Islamophobia in the United States....But the steps could also benefit Vice President Harris in the presidential race against Donald Trump if it appears Biden is being tougher on Israel. That’s especially the case in swing states such as Michigan, where a sizable number of Arab and Muslim Americans live.”
So if they gotta stab Israel in the back, they’ll do it. Hey, sacrifices gotta be made, right?" PJMedia
