Yes, that is clearly a complication. But it is solvable.

Against all odds (and a lot of Nobel laureates advice) we managed to establish a single currency for 25 y now.

Setting up a joint nuclear deterrence isn’t easier, but neither more impossible!

Why should it be harder?

FYI very interesting thread on Issues with regard to Chinese growth not accounting for bad investment write offs properly

Makes sense, they are building both machinery as well as high end consumer goods themselves now….

Germany needs a new growth model, just betting on exports won’t work. In particular as China outcompetes us to often to easily by its scaling capability

More people die under trump in Ukraine.

Would agree. Not trying to establish it, would be a massive failure and unnecessary risk

We rather need a list of actions to increase pressure on #Putin

1. Setup #skyshield to directly defend Ukrainians at least for Western Ukr

2.Stop all Russian tankers in Baltic and Mediterranean

3. deliver 1000 Attack drones a day to reply to Russ terror

4. 10x delivery of mid range missiles

Yes, Europe could and should do a lot more:

What would it take to build them?

Isn’t it also a huge opportunity of growing up?

What is the true challenge, but some tech capabilities and some more leadership acumen?

The debate sometimes reminds me of a group of 14 y old, unwilling to grow up…

Thanks! Good read. Generally agree, we are moving in the right direction

What we are lacking is a more critical assessment of the existing inefficiencies in a system of 27 states all trying to reinvent the wheel in too many areas of defense, deterrence and intelligence

Isn’t there a path to start with the latter, and than build upon that?

Both UK, Norway and EU all need to update their nuclear deterrence strategy, as well as satellite intelligence now

- so let’s do it

The existing zoo of solutions &services across Europe isn’t sustainable nor effective anymore

Wow, and that while the economy is actually striving

Let’s wait for the moment the Ai bubble bursts

China’s future growth rate could drop to 2.5% without market reforms: economist China will struggle to keep growth above 4 per cent unless there is a ‘strong turnaround’ in productivity and consumer spending, economist warns.

SCMP: "China’s potential growth rate could fall to about 2.5 per cent in the coming years unless action is taken, prominent Chinese economist Zhou Tianyong has warned."

Is anyone looking to what extend over investment also harmed household savings (eg spent on real estate) and hence is a driver of sluggish household consumption?

So would you say, China is likely in a similar growth trap like Japan during the 90s, just the numbers look better due to different debt accounting standards?

Interesting, thxs, Are these bad debts recorded properly anywhere?

learned from @carlomasala1.bsky.social that US hasrequested Europeans to take over more ownership within NATO

Let's follow that, and build a NATO without US upon the existing structures
Europe could jointly develop lacking capabilities like long range missiles, spy satellites and nuclear deterrence

Korruption in #Deutschland auf gutem Weg. 77 Punkte

Wichtig: das Konservative Idealland Ungarn schneidet ganz ganz schlecht ab: 40 Punkte.
