Η πρώτη πληρωμή των αγροτικών επιδοτήσεων με το νέο σύστημα δεν έπεισε. Όχι μόνο επειδή τα χρήματα ήταν λιγότερα, αλλά κυρίως επειδή δεν έγιναν σαφή τα κριτήρια με τα οποία δόθηκαν.

The Trump National Security Strategy is an act of vandalism against the things that actually make our country strong, safe, and prosperous.

But this economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure. The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence. Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies. Many of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation
US national security strategy.
Something sure is unrecognisable here, but it’s not Europe.

For those paying mind, as we discussed on @pivotpodcastofficial recently, there has been a definite fuck that guy feel to this deal related to the threat of Trump blocking anyone but his cronies like the Ellisons from owning all the juicy bits.

"The era of Pax Americana may soon be drawing to a close. From then on it will be every region, or country, for itself, against emboldened and avaricious adversaries. For a sense of how to fight, look no further than the Ukrainians whom we abandon at our peril and to our shame."
