  • If America is going to continue to be not Trump, it’s going to have to move fast.

    So far, their checks & balances have been failing, unfortunately. Something about corruption in DOJ in recent news, leaves me very worried about the last Pillar. I hope the US citizens from both parties make it a democracy again: by the people for the people.






  • It’s a bit premature to announce this, but yes VonderLeyen has announced the preparation of a defense package of approx. 700 B via this legal fiscal venue. Together with the EU Competitiveness Compass plan at around a minimum of 750 B, they will likely be aimed to reinforce each other. In addition, other parallel plans are being prepared, pending current developments.

    added: Context: EU defense is now at 326 B in 2024 (consilium EU). Though Europe also includes UK and other countries ofcourse.

    This newly announced extra package is like a minimum extra budget.
