  • It's time to start looking for other trading

    The EU has been doing that. But it's difficult to replace a 30T economy, representing 15% of the global aggregate of the world's GDP.

    With Tariffs, the outcome will always be a big loss worldwide. For some more than others.

    Add: It's already been harming USA manufacturers according to this AP article ,

    " US manufacturers are stuck in a rut despite subsidies from Biden and protection from Trump. (...).But the factory investment spree has faded as the incoming Trump administration launched trade wars and, working with Congress, ended Biden’s subsidies for green energy. Now, predicts Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, “manufacturing production will continue to flatline.”

  • It's all very complicated and uncertain, and I understand only a bit of it, but basically yes.

  • Are there any insights on what the policy

    Afaik, they'd like a more moderate leader.

    These are quite recent developments. If you want some updates & insight Lei's Real Talk - YouTube channel is recommended. Also, consider that all news from China is heavily censored, and "good info" is hard to get by.

  • There is a power struggle going on in the CCP and Xi is losing.

    Yes, and acccording to the most recent news/rumors a new CCP leader is expected to be announced rather sooner than later. Most probably next 21st official Party Congress (link).

  • It's needed to appease Ursula's little friends

    Not really, NATO and EC( Ursula) are two different entities. She's facing charges, for her vaccine deals. Nothing to do with defense.

  • Opinion article. Also they missed many NATO Top nuances, like the whole political game. But yes, NATO members in Europe have been spending more, and more defense is and was needed.

  • Sketchy newspaper site run by a sketchy ceo and owned by a foundation which is run by a sketchy non-profit foundation.

    OP also only posts his news from the one specific news site.

  • where have I heard this before? cough Atomic waste *

    They have started to relocate hundreds of thousands of barrels containing nuclear waste from nuclear plants somewhere at 3 km depth in the Atlantic to check their containment integrity. I guess more and more surprises will turn up, as a result of our past dumping solutions. I believe they have also dumped some, in or near the area of an ancient primal forrest in Poland

    But you are right. How will we contain all this waste?

  • I don't mind creating a proper European security investment market. But I most definitely mind an uncontrolled asset derivatives markets, which when abused, (and it will becasue they can) will most probably lead to a new financial crisis.

    "The ECB also called on the Commission to draw on “the lessons of the global financial crisis, when opaque and complex securitisations led to excessive risk-taking,” warning that the EU should “ensure that securitisation does not create excessive leverage in the financial system by fuelling asset bubbles and hiding risks on bank balance sheets.

  • I imagine this is internal US news, not worldnews through.

  • She, Francesca Albanese, is and has been always a controversial person according to a report from U.N Watch [ed] and this link in JPost

    "A report by United Nations Watch on Wednesday is urging democratic nations to impose sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian human rights, accusing her of promoting antisemitism, supporting terrorism, and spreading misinformation."

    According to the view of some, the whole world must be complicit.

    [ed]: typo HRW must be UN watch.

  • Not exactly surprising

    Exactly, because normally ultra processed food contain many free radicals like those mentioned in this Nature 2025 article, but also in this 1995 publication

  • FYi, for a lateral analysis to Chinese Spanish relationship, see also this Elcano Royal Institute , basically:

    " Spain shares the EU’s threefold vision of China as partner, competitor and rival, and advocates a greater role for its institutions and greater coordination and collective action among its member states to achieve a more balanced relation and overcome a clear bilateral asymmetry in favour of China."

    Add: According to some opinions in the FT, Pedro Sanchez , the current PM (socialist party) is sort of a tactical maverick, sometimes seemingly inconsistent, but it's all about the needs of (his) current political arena.

  • ..but that was in 2013, she was still young and naive /s.

    Funny, what people are willing to state, as long as they believe it's not about THEM.

    From OP's context link: "While Marine Le Pen has just been sentenced for embezzlement of public funds to four years in prison and five years of ineligibility, preventing her from running in 2027, the same Marine Le Pen nevertheless defended, a few years ago, the greatest firmness against convicted elected officials. « When are we going to implement lifetime ineligibility for all those who have been convicted of acts committed during their mandate? » asked Marine Le Pen, on Public Senate, in 2013...

  • FYI , HERE is the most up to date list (including Turkiye, Israel and some others)

  • Maybe there is a reason why they use this title. Ofcourse green energy is good, but we have been there for a while. Obviously, not a problem yet in Canada or in the USA. So it seems Europeans should be happy, while ignoring or marginalizing the nuances and problems of the current energy & electricity systems. The grid is congested and causes electricity fall out (Grid congestion is posing challenges for energy security and transitions. Also there are companies being paid to use electricity in energy machines that do absolutely nothing, (except deburden the grid by consuming electricity). And they make good money with that. Ed: in( brackets)

  • Yips even if you want to do business, the US admin just makes it undoable or say stuff that rubs you in a very wrong way. Fuck the DEI BS.

    IIRC, Canada will or has joined Europe's Horizon programme.
