Putin is in the year 3 of a 3 day invasion, and became a vassal of China in the process.

Trump singlehandedly destroyed American hegemony, removing the tool he would need the most to deliver what the donor class wanted and he keeps losing games of chicken with basically the entire world. And I’m pretty sure Biden would’ve done lots of things differently if he could travel back in time even a few hours.

If they have time machines they are the most incompetent people on the planet.

Does our world sound like a world where any President of the US and/or Russia had access to time travel?

That still doesn’t invalidate that the authorities tried to deport people without a trial, ignoring the presumption of innocence and rule of law in general. That’s at least AfD level disregard for the Grundgesetz.

Everyone involved in this should be forbidden from holding authority until they are able to explain why what they did is the opposite of the values of a Rechtsstaat.

Britain:

We are also part of Europe and should be part of European defence - and we mean please buy our weapons

Also Britain:

Everyone pays VAT that’s the point of VAT. You might get away with paying a lower VAT if you buy something from a small store in another country but you are always suppose to pay the VAT of the country where you live - for example if you buy something from a German online store in Portugal you are supposed to pay the 23% rate to the Portuguese government not the 19% rate to the German government, and big online stores will do it for you automatically.

But the EU is not just economy.

In other news, Troy accepted Greece’s gift horse statue, in a sign of the improving ilian-hellenic relationship.

Their chairman. His position is that he “respects” gay marriage, but gay couples are not a real family. Basically the average “moderate” catholic bullshit.

Of course it is. The only thing worse than arbitrary tariffs are unpredictable tariffs. Right now no one can plan their business more than one week in advance and even that feels like gambling.

The way things stand China might well end up providing the communist dictatorship to the new allies vs the American-Russian Axis

The Phillips OneBlade sounds very similar.

It implies Europe might fold if Trump threatens wine exports. Which Trump, being Trump, will do.

Macron makes a stereotype out of France and drags us all into it.

Everyone and their cousins have their own platform. That’s the issue. No one wants to standardize on someone else’s alternative so the incumbents reign supreme.

That’s a funny way of saying that for the first time in years the British government is not trying to sabotage the negotiations before they start.

For the love of all gods, stop recommending Proton, it’s run by a fascist Trump-loving cryptoscammer that hates open standards even more than Silicon Valley tech-bros. You might as well use American companies at that point.
