I think that this is the greater point. 15% is just today’s number, but it’s better than yesterday’s number, and if it came from a deal, it islikely more stable than last week’s number. This is not about the number, it’s about slowing tu ngs down to stabilize other options.

Agree on both. He makes the lefty corcuit a fair amount.

OP is referring to resource extraction and refining, more than assembly lines.

BYD might be a bad example as they rely heavily on treating their supply chain debt as an equity (funky accounting)

Legally true, but there is of course plenty of coersion.

Did Israel use American produced F-35s?

It’s what Orban did, and other Authoritarians, on whom the whole administration based their plan on. They get other aspects “right”… but I guess that is when Trump isn’t the one talking.

If you have large part to f the population moving to support fascism, them they need to be addressed. Their real issues need to be addressed. It doesn’t just go away.

All of the 1st world rely on immigration to keep population growth - but in Germany it has created an enemy? Here is how the ADD garners support.

I think that is the global phenomenon

I don’t live in Germany, so won’t disagree. I think that propaganda wouldn’t work if people weren’t already looking for someone to blame.

It’s likely to blow-back domestically. Like other countries around the world, Germany’s far right nationalist party has strong domestic support right now. This may silence some politicians, bit t doesn’t address the underlying issues, nor the reasons that ppl are wandering towards fascism.

My opinion is that general failures of liberal parties to actually make life better, and reduce corruption. People have lost faith.
