Does GB need a cookie? Why do they toot their own horn?
Edit: Does it not feel out of character to you? There is no ceasefire agreement, just an agreement to participate in negotiations. I would assume that to a British prime minister, that’s not worth mentioning and when the BBC writes it like this, that it is a subtle putdown.
“America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests.”
This is not new. Even England had a shakedown before WW2 support.
It doesn’t have to be a private company. Why don’t workers privatize social security themselves and take the government and thus the influence of the billionaires out of the loop?
Create a cooperative that is owned by all working citizens who want to participate. There don’t have to be profits.
How does this pen out? If those weapons are meant to be used defencively, they have to be second-strike weapons.
This means that Germany needs nuclear submarines because everything else could be hit by Russian nuclear bombs in the assumed Russian attack.
Preparing nuclear weapons on fighter jets only helps to make Germany a target.
France and UK rightfully ask for support for their nuclear weapons program but there is no need to be further involved than financing it.
Do you know Ursula’s history of corruption? If so, how can you feel good about it?
That’s not the spot to touch if you want Europe to rise again …
According to Yanis Varoufakis, to end the tade imbalances so that the US don’t lose their production capabilities
Aren’t microcode updates erased after restarts?
They could, but what do they think will happen then?
Then you have more demand than supply because there is not enough coffee for everybody. This leads to people queueing and some people leaving without coffee.
What’s your opinion of Yanis Varoufakis’ explanation for the tariffs?
What do you mean? There are globally less coffee beans available. Or do you mean the 30%? That’s just an arbitrary number, as I tried to make clear by writing “Let’s say …”.
You believe that the accusation then and now were true and that everybody knew but nobody in the position of power prevented the takeover?
Why is the focus on Trump then and not everybody else?
To me it’s easier to believe that this is drama to distract from changes that are in a way necessary but unpopular.
How about this explanation:
There is a reduced supply of coffee beans. Let’s say 30%. This requires that 30% of customers have to be priced out of the market.
If the coffee shop owners only increase the price by several cents then the demand stays the same. They have to fight for coffee beans which drives up their costs step by step.
However, if they increase the price in advance, and far more than necessary right from the start, then the reduced demand matches the available supply and the value of the coffee beans roughly remains the same which allows them to profit from most of the price hike.
deter another large-scale Russian offensive after any ceasefire
Russia is fighting to prevent NATO troops in Ukrain. Am I mistaken or does this bind Russia to fight until they either collapse or conquer all of Ukrain?
If Trump is a Russian asset, how was he allowed to run for his first term? Various agencies must have known.
They use high flying satelites that stay in a fixed orbit for a very long time.
On the other hand, starlink satelites fly in low orbit where there is enough air that they are dragged down and must be replaced. This is expensive and only possible because SpaceX made rocket launches significantly cheaper.
The advantage of the low orbit is the low latency which makes it possible to steer drones.
The point is having a common language and thus economic and cultural advantages. English is a secondary language for most people. In the US, it’s probably replaced with Spanish.
With Arabic, you have many more primary language speakers. Thanks to immigration, the transition to Arabic can be made easy. Then it’s possible to sell products in one packaging from Portugal to India.
I am not arguing that this should happen. It’s just an opportunity that is not obvious because Arabic is not a traditional European language. Though I would assume that there are now more Arabic than Basque speakers.
Which war does the EU face? The military of the EU is already bigger than the Russian military. European air superiority will destroy any Russian attack.
