Spanish PM rejects Nato’s ‘unreasonable’ 5% GDP target for defence spending – as it happened
Pedro Sánchez reportedly says move would be ‘counterproductive’ and harm Spanish economy
Is Spain's PM the only European leader who has NOT lost his marbles? Is it possible that the rest committed such a crime against their own governments' finances as to commit to a ludicrous military budget of 5% of GDP? Pure bonkers! www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Available data indicate that the stock value of Chinese FDI in North Africa and the Middle East platoed in 2020 and started declining in 2023.
Given how things have been in the region in the past two years, how unlikely is that that was the peak?

*I don't think it's about to fall, unfortunately
**Caveat: we are all bad at predicting any regime's collapse
***The other likely scenario is chaos
