Germany risks squandering a golden opportunity
Chancellor’s plans for investment and reform may be more of a short-term boost than a fix to underlying problems
As a manufacturing giant, Germany for decades dragged its feet on EU liberalisation of services in which it historically lacked a comparative advantage, @sandertordoir.bsky.social, chief economist of the @centreeuropeanref.bsky.social, told me.

A UK conservative MP lost his seat and went to Ukraine to fight at the frontline. What a story.

Hamas says it accepts proposal for Gaza ceasefire and release of hostages
Deal would include 60-day halt to military operations and exchange of half of living Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners
Hamas has accepted a ceasefire deal by Egypt and Qatar which would include releasing half of the remaining living Israeli hostages in exchange for 60 days of stopping the war, as part of a phased final end of the war.
I suspect Netanyahu will reject it

Çünkü bu “onların” hikâyesi - Platform 24
Epstein skandalının iki-üç boyutu var. İlki erkeklik ve zenginlik denen varoluşların en çirkin bileşimlerini anlamak için deney niteliğinde
Bu, Epstein meselesine dair, 6 yıl önce ne bulunabiliyorsa neredeyse hepsini içeren, 23 bölümlük (evet, 23!) bir yazı dizisi. Roman gibi biraz. Bu ilk yazının altında ötekilerin hepsinin linki var. Olay ilginizi çekiyorsa >

The Hague Summit Declaration issued by NATO Heads of State and Government (2025)
The fact that the political cycle of the NDPP will come in 2027 and “trajectory and balance of spending under this plan will be reviewed in 2029, in light of the strategic environment and updated Capability Targets” prove that this urgency is recognized. #NATOSummit www.nato.int/cps/en/natoh...

The Hague Summit Declaration issued by NATO Heads of State and Government (2025)
Now that we are all on our ways to different locations- the primary message I leave with from this summit is the need for speed: The urgency to act in all core tasks, to “harness emerging technology and the spirit of innovation”#NATOsummit www.nato.int/cps/en/natoh...

Bizim için asıl rahatsız edici olan, İsrail ve ABD'nin İran'da bir rejim değişikliği senaryosunu hayata geçirmeleri olacaktır. İran'ın çözülmesi ve istikrarsızlığa düşmesi Irak ve Suriye'ye benzemez. Sonuçları ve insani boyutta tetikleyeceği olumsuzluklar çok daha ağır olur.
