If the world economy depends on the whims of an ayatollah, maybe it needs a fundamental restructuring. And no, I am not sure the Tump admin are lesser religious zealots.

f Berlin was the genius on NatSec it sometimes wants to be, we would sit down with Paris right about now, figuring out a way to afford more than one PA-NG, and leverage this for FCAS. Alas.

Da. The western armies carpet bombed then shelled french cities deliberately to kill civilians & then replaced them with Americans as part of 40 yrs of illegal occupation. But if they did it it was wrong, thus making us doing it right. Finland was enemy cos they defended themselves.

Norway (part of NATO) had a border with the Soviet Union. As did Turkey. Russia inherited the Norway border and never complained about it. Remember how Finland and Sweden's accession was going to unleash nuclear Armageddon ? After they joined, Russia stopped complaining...

Hungary is definitely *not* a neutral venue. Zelensky should avoid it like the plague. Geneva (Switzerland) is a much better choice. Other options: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan.

Former President of Russia confirms that Putin now totally owns this US President. - Trump confirmed to Putin no sanctions. - Trump agrees that only Ukraine AND Europe surrendering to Russia can end the war. By mere flattery, Putin has totally paralyzed the US.

We have done enough on our own, and our emissions are so small we can't change the trajectory of global warming on our own. Now it's time to stop until others (China, US, India) start doing their part too.

The EU is 4th largest emitter globally with less than a quarter of China's emissions (and a 3rd of the population). It can and should take it easy until China gets serious about cutting emissions. Report: China emissions exceed all developed nations combined share.google/xgQ2AlEtAY5w...

Drones are very helpful but not a substitute for traditional infantry. Plekhovo, where bad weather prevented effective drone operations and as a result was retaken by NK and RU troops in 3h, needs to be studied and learned from.

Have you ever lived in a socialist society ? It depends how you define it. The difference between socialism, communism and capitalism is how power is exercised (by unelected bureaucrats in the former two, by rich people in the latter). In my experience, bureaucrats are worse than rich people.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."
The real surprise came after the experiment. Fred Lambert, who writes for the blog Electrek, pointed out the same autopilot disengagement that the NHTSA had documented. “Autopilot appears to automatically disengage a fraction of a second before the impact as the crash becomes inevitable,” Lambert noted.

The EU is 9% of WW gas emissions. Whatever 1-2% may be saved will be more than este up by increases in US and China. Until the US and China decide to act, the EU should stop chasing stupid targets and just deal with the consequences. Which requires NATO, immigration policies, etc.

Europe's greenhouse gas emissions are a drop in the ocean. We are destroying our economies but we have zero chance of making a difference. Go fix China if you want to fix greenhouse gas emissions.

100%. To this end, the immediate dismantlement of the NPT is in order. A coordinated effort should be made by key countries - Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Nordics, South Africa, Egypt, Indonesia, Phillipinnes, Japan, SK, etc - to retreat from the NPT.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?
Ardem Patapoutian's story is not just the American dream, it is the dream of American science.

He arrived in Los Angeles in 1986 at age 18 after fleeing war-torn Lebanon. He spent a year writing for an Armenian newspaper and delivering Domino's at night to become eligible for the University of California, where he earned his undergraduate degree and a postdoctoral fellowship in neuroscience.

He started a lab at Scripps Research in San Diego with a grant from the National Institutes of Health, discovered the way humans sense touch, and in 2021 won the Nobel Prize.

But with the Trump administration slashing spending on science, Dr. Patapoutian's federal grant to develop new approaches to treating pain has been frozen. In late February, he posted on Bluesky that such cuts would damage biomedical research and prompt an exodus of talent from the United States. Within hours, he had an email from China, offering to move his lab to "any city, any university I want," he said, with a guarantee of funding for the next 20 years.

Agreed, but this is not your original question. China lowering tariffs to 10%(more so the removal of nontariff barriers - though I haven't seen anything to indicate this was part of the discussion) is a step in the right direction. Some US made products are competitive (agricultural, aircraft)

The lower the import tax rate, to more open a market is to goods coming from a foreign country. The 10% import tax rate into China means American goods will be cheaper in China, making them more competitive vs. locally manufactured goods.
