Looking at Qatar being bombed by both Israel and Iran, that is not always the case.

Something good coming from this government? I can not believe it.

It is for countries in the European Broadcasting Union on the map in blue.

The Arabs do not like to join, but they could if they wanted to. Also Australia was part of it one time, due to money.

WTF? First of all BRICS has 28.7% of global nominal GDP and 38.35% PPP.

R=Russia which is fighting a massive war in Ukraine

I=India common fighting against Pakistan including some this year

Please actually read up on other countries. The US has a lot of problems and is getting worse, but that still leaves the US in a pretty decent place globally, seeing as it still is insanely rich.

Basically there are three large coalitions one the left, center and right. Those are then made up of individual parties. All three are roughly the same size and Macrons centrist are calling the shots. As obviously the right and left have less they agree on and Macron is president. However both of those groups want to be president and the individual parties want more power for themself as well. So every once in a while the parliament gets blown up, due to the three coalitions fighting.

Add to that a culture of protests and rather strong unions and voila you get hard fights. The good part is that the French rich are genuinly worried about loosing their heads.

Given that the title of the article includes “suspends arms deliveries to Israel” I was presuming OP was surprised that there is racism in Germany and not Germany is just like the Nazis. Foolishly I forgot that Israeli propaganda loves to equate Arab resistance with the Holocaust. So obviously to an Israeli Germany by sending aid to UNRWA and suspending arms deliveries is just like the Nazis.

I do apologize.

True I missread the comment. I thought just the headline including the words “partially suspends arms deliveries” would kind of show, that there is at least some value being placed in peoples lifes and not Germany has not changed at all since the Nazi era. So I presumed he was surprised about there being racism in Germany.

Where are you from that your country has no racism what sort ever?

Not always, Hungary no longer blocking EU action against Russia might very well cause chaos there.

The problem is that he can not ouright rig the elections. The EU makes that really hard to do. So he created an election system, which massivly favours him, has pretty solid control over the media and is able to run hand outs just before the election. At the same time splitting the opposition did wonders. The issue is that the economy does not do too well. Inflation rate is at 4.3%, Ukraine basically cut off Russian oil supply, EU funding is blocked(we are talking billions) and Hungary is pretty deeply integrated into the German economy, which currently does not do too well either.

So it is not looking too good for him, which is great news for Europe and the world.

In West Germany there never was an actually working redistribution of wealth after WW2. The rich families of the Nazi Germany kept their wealth and still have it today. Yes taxes were higher for them, but not even close to high enough. The Lastenausgleichsgesetz really did hit the middle class, who owned property. It did not hit the real capitalist class.

The “Wirtschaftswunder” mostly happened, because the Americans saved Germany from starvation after WW2, German industry was hardly damaged during the war(but the transport system was, but that got repaired) and then because of the common market and lack of USD, which made Europeans buy German rather then American.

It was pretty much bound to happen and the only thing Germany did right, was the EU part. The rest was mainly bad managed horribly and German workers were and still are underpaid. Hence you see the massive net exports out of Germany.

According to German law a medium sized companies for fills at least two out of the three criteria of having a turn over of 50million+, 25million+ in equity or more then 250 employees on average over a year. It is a common trick, to fool people into thinking that they are middle class or your local restaurant, craftsmen, architects, small stores and so forth.

Any decent wealth tax 100% should hit medium-sized businesses. Owning such a company puts your net worth in the 10s of millions.

4000 tonnes of oil are worth $1.8million or so. Even with 12 spills it is a joke compared to the money Russia is making from selling it.

https://ukr.warspotting.net/ does something similar to Oryx, but allows dates and models in a nice sortable database.

USDA is US American. It has nothing to do with China or Germany.

Does Poland ban Ukrainians from working? I thought Poland(like the rest of Europe) has a massive demographic crisis, so more workers would be needed.

The problem with hypocrisy is that it is a very easy tool to get away with being judged. A pretty good example is the carbon footprint and oil giants. The argument is basically that critizsing oil giants is hypocrisy, because you are emitting too. The problem with that it puts your emissions on the same level as that of some massive oil company, which is clearly insane. So you need to adjust for scale when talking about hypocrisy.

This is also why Palestinians are not hypocrits, when they complain about Israeli war crimes, besides them commiting war crimes themself, such as October 7th.

Context? As in “who” our dear politicians and resources as in military, intelligence, police and economic resources, which can be used to stop war criminals. Basically what somebody like Merz can do to stop what is going on in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, Myanmar and so on.
