The USA is rapidly burning through munitions that Ukraine desperately needs. I suspect the loss of those anti air weapons etc is much worse for Ukraine than the small reduction in drones launched at them.

Both show Orban starting to rise again or at least not decline anymore :( Come on Hungarian people, you have a chance to get rid of the wannabe dictator!

Ah, I probably mixed up F-14s and F-15s

Probably just a mistake, especially likely since Iran also had (or used to have?) F-15s of their own. Still really bad communications wise.

The man who wanted to make peace in many places in the world and get a peace price for it, has decided to start yet another war in the Middle East…

So far the USA still provides a competitive funding environment, despite the budget cuts. I suspect that the increasingly limited academic freedom due to the fascist government will become the greater driver of migration.

I’m under the impression that not many people have moved yet and that it’s mostly people returning home (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, they’re great researchers too), but of course acquiring funding takes a while. We’ll have to see how it continues in the next few years.

I think patience has already run out. It is rather a calculated approach of identifying what does and what doesn’t depend on the USA, and setting up alternatives for those things that do depend on the USA for example through trade deals (Mercosur, India) and investing in independent tech (funding open source projects, governments moving to native tech alternatives).

In the past year the EU has found out that it depends scarily much on the USA, but also that it can be more independent than expected while also having serious economic leverage.

The idea of the Netherlands and Belgium merging is completely detached from reality, adding Luxemburg to that picture makes even less sense. Economically it could be great with the combined harbors of Antwerp and Rotterdam. But historically and culturally it clashes, even between The Netherlands and the Dutch speaking part of Belgium.

Russia’s economy might be spiraling downward, but it seems to be a rather slow spiral so far. Let’s see what happens when Ukraine launches the next wave of attacks on oil refineries.

I had been wondering why there was no laser based air defence yet, it seems like the perfect system that doesn’t take from their always too small stockpile of air defence munitions. I guess we’ll have to see if it’s actually effetive on the battlefield and if it can take down big drones (shahed) and missiles down as well.

Not sure if you shared the right link. Somewhere on that page, there’s a bit of info about the post title, but it’s rather limited, not enough to form an opinion.

Like, for what crimes, who does it affect, does it only apply to people with multiple nationalities or can people become stateless, etc…

Please post better source or you risk causing unfounded fearmongering.

Not sure if it’s a world order where America is an afterthought, after all it’s a big market that doesn’t make sense to completely ignore, especially if Trump’s time comes to an end. But for sure it will be a world order set up in a way where states have the option to treat the USA as an afterthought when necessary.
