@brianeskow Not if he's getting rich simply by exploiting the power of the presidency, and running pay-to-play schemes where he earns money in exchange for granting political favors.
(🇩🇪🇪🇺 European Energy)
Germany is restructuring its entire energy architecture.
🔸 Renewables reached a record 58% of German electricity consumption in the first half of 2026.
🔸 Germany also hit a historic record in 2025, approving 3,310 onshore wind permits for almost 20.8 GW.
🔸 Germany’s legal target is at least 80% renewable electricity by 2030.
🔸 This is essential for Germany to cut energy dependence, with exports above 40% of GDP.
Canarias no es periferia.
Es laboratorio energético europeo.
Solar flotante en el mar, financiada por Horizon Europe, en un territorio donde el suelo es escaso y el sol sobra.
España tiene geografía para probar el futuro.
The Eurofighter Halcón is not just air superiority.
It is European industrial power in Getafe: engines, systems integration, testing and know-how.
Defence sovereignty is built before it flies.
We think Europe needs more pro-European, pro-tech, pro-abundance, pro-optimism propaganda. So we made it.
Posters, t-shirts, hoodies. Full-on propaganda. We've been handing them out at robotics meetups and clubs all over Europe for weeks, and people love them.
Why we are doing this: Europeans know more about the companies in the States than the ones right here at home. We need to change that. Time for propaganda.
Every poster features a real European company:
🦾 Allonic is braiding humanoids. A completely new approach to building robotic parts. If it works, a number one company worldwide, right here in Europe.
🚜 Voltrac, the electric autonomous tractor (we made a whole video about them).
🏗️ Automated Architecture (AUAR), doing micro-factories for wooden houses.
🪨 Gondor Industries, a stone mason company using robotics.
And many, many more to come.
This is the first of many drops. More launching in the next few weeks, including flags, EU posters and more.

Almost 100% of America's fertilizers came from 🇨🇦 until the U.S. imposed tariffs on all CDN products. Now they've declared a state of emergency, citing a shortage of essential fertilizers for agricultural crops. This is a Trump-made crisis. 🇨🇦 warned about this long ago! #onpoli
People talk about the frontier: AI, rockets, chips, EVs.
But a lot of power sits in the boring layers we take for granted.
Shipping, ports, insurance, standards, machinery, logistics, regulation.
Europe often dominates the invisible infrastructure of globalization.
In 2004, 🇵🇱 Poland joined the 🇪🇺EU as its poorest large member.
Europe bet on its potential - and investment flowed in.
Since accession, beyond private capital, Poland has received nearly €250 billion from the EU budget - around €163 billion net after its own contributions. More than any other member state.
Roads, rail, energy, human capital.
🇬🇧 Britain played its part twice over. As one of the EU's largest net contributors, British taxpayers helped fund those transfers. And in 2004, the UK was one of only three countries to fully open its labor market to Poles from day one. No transition period. No waiting.
Twenty years later: Polish exports up sixfold, GDP per capita roughly tripled - the fastest sustained growth story in Europe.
This week, Polish capital filed plans for a £35 billion fleet of 14 nuclear reactors in Britain.
Clean power for 8 million homes, for 60 years. The largest private nuclear investment in British history - aimed squarely at strengthening the UK's energy security.
This is what Poland's success story shows: when Europeans stand by each other, we all end up safer, stronger, more competitive.
Stronger together.

I’m shocked that Russia can crash a building onto sleeping families in a European capital, murdering 30 people, without any meaningful reaction from the world whatsoever.
I’ve been asked many times over why I keep posting when so many of the replies I receive are personal attacks.
The answer is actually really simple.
As scientists, we cannot concede to silence. If we do, we leave space for disinformation to fill the void. and it will.
Science doesn’t advance by being the loudest voice. But it does depend on people willing to keep speaking out - even and perhaps especially during the most difficult chapters.
🇷🇺🤡 While Ukrainian drones hit a Russian refinery, Putin was on TV discussing food recipes.
That's not a leader managing a war. That's a man in complete denial.
Military spending now accounts for roughly half of Russia's entire state budget. The Kremlin is confiscating assets from oligarchs. Putin's own economic class — the people whose loyalty has underwritten his system for 25 years — are now speaking in terms unthinkable even a year ago.
"Everybody is furious. The growing realisation of utter senselessness — self-destructive decisions that are losing an entire generation of young men to a completely stupid war."
That's not Western commentary. That's Putin's own people.
This is precisely the pattern that preceded the collapse of the Romanovs in 1917. Not one dramatic moment of failure. A slow accumulation of disconnection between a leader convinced of his own command — and a population that can see something has fundamentally broken.

Kherson.
Svitlana, 18, dreamed of learning Japanese and translating comic books.
She said, “In Kherson, the air is different! So good to breathe! We’ll rebuild everything!”
Yesterday, a Russian drone cut her in halves in front of her mom.

Two more questions @BillAckman:
Why won’t the U.S. president ever condemn Putin/Russia?
Why has the U.S. president sided with Putin/Russian from the very beginning of this war?
