The end of this video is stunning. Trump signs the MOU, Macron says good job, everyone applauds and then Trump says "oil down, stocks up" - with hand motions!
This fragile US-Iran truce will only last til Short Term political goals are met: Midterms, Inflation reduction, 'peacemaker' profiling. Optimistically it may provide more time to work on a "real" and meaningful plan. But Trump worries more about the Market than foreign P success
A must read (or must listen): https://t.co/2uGt1XhA8V . A dystopian but unfortunately surprising convincing of what could happen if Europe does not catch up on AI. It moved my prior. (and it is, despite the gloomy conclusions) a fun read.
@Oitajpn I do, you’re just unable to understand that ILA Berlin was happening and distinct from the current debate. Airbus will also do the same for Eurostatory, no German will cry about it.
@Oitajpn Vous avez d’ailleurs fait de meme…
Et ce consortium sera a jamais plus Européen que le non-effort Français pour construire et soutenir une “Europe de la défense”. Vous ne pensez qu’à vous, incapable de travailler avec les autres.
@Oitajpn Once again seemingly blinded by hate and rent free.
It is in fact just an A400M with a German flag, in Germany, at the ILA Berlin, so yes, it is a German A400M, don’t get mad. And yes they did mention Spanish companies in that consortium, with other partners joining.

Mocking the M1 Abrams as old and dino-like, while the Leclerc is painful to maintain and field - low availability.
Mocking the F35 at many occasions while not being able to field anything similar.
Mocking US way of life and risk taking while being stuck in the old world...
@Truthful_ast The French have kept their Napoleonic insolence without anything to back it up.
French general on CSAR mission in Iran: It's impossible - stop snorting cocaine between meetings
French mocking UAVs (MQ-1 and MQ-9) as gimmicky then buying them - same for EMALS on carriers
