Die einzige Rettung für @_FriedrichMerz und für einen echten Erfolg der Union-SPD-Koalition wäre, wenn Grüne und FDP die Schuldenorgie verweigern. Dann ist die neue Regierung gezwungen, unwichtige, unsinnige oder gar schädliche Ausgaben zu streichen (BMZ, NGO-Förderung, Unternehmenssubventionen, Rentenprivilegien für Besserverdiener, Bürgergeld für nicht Bedürftige, Sozialleistungen an illegale Zuwanderer etc.) und eine Reformagenda für mehr Wachstum anzustoßen, weil sie die Steuereinnahmen aus dem Aufschwung brauchen.
Interessantes Tool. Von Dänen programmiert, die wegen des Auftretens der tRUmp-Regierung US-Produkte vermeiden wollen. https://t.co/4c79bIXFNd (via @BjornRoh_1)
(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
Ich habe mich gefreut als Trump gewählt wurde. Er hat viel richtig gemacht und macht es in Sachen Bürokratie und Wokeismus immer noch.
Aber Strafzölle, eine Shitcoin-Reserve, damit sich die eigenen Buddies die Taschen vollstopfen können und die Ukraine-Politik zeigen mir gerade, dass meine Brille zu rosa war. Slay your heroes.
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
Dear Volodymyr @zelenskyyua, we stand with #Ukraine in good and in testing times. We must never confuse aggressor and victim in this terrible war. (FM)
It was to be expected that we would receive extremely unpleasant news from the United States on a daily basis, but today another chapter has been opened. A completely unpredictable US president who turns the Ukrainian victims of brutal Russian violence into perpetrators no longer speaks for the liberal, values-led Western world.
While Russia continues its criminal aggression, we are witnessing a perpetrator-victim reversal in the White House: not a word about Russia's trampling on human rights. Not a word about the atrocities that take place in Ukraine on a daily basis. Instead, @ZelenskyyUa is paraded in front of the world press. A scandal.
Europe can and must no longer tolerate this - nor the affront to our high representative Kaja Kallas, who travelled to the United States to meet with the American Secretary of State. No sooner had she landed there than the meeting was cancelled.
Ukraine needs our support without pause - military, humanitarian, economic and strategic. We have the means to supply Ukraine with the weapons it needs and we have the economic instruments to help in the long term.
Once a treaty/agreement between Ukraine and the EU has been concluded, the European Investment Bank could issue bonds for the "mining of rare earths", which could be subscribed to by European countries, companies and also private individuals. This would generate billions of euros that would go directly to Ukraine for reconstruction.
Europe must become less dependent on the USA and launch its own initiatives - and do so immediately.
As a transatlanticist, I do not say this lightly, but it is time to get going. It's not about sucking up, but making clear announcements that must be followed by action. Long live Europe.
Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.
We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.
Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.
@Schuldensuehner The other 10% easily can come from the lower productivity of the Hungarian workforce, the less efficient infrastructure, corruption, etc.
@Schuldensuehner Those who are saying (including Orban) that it's purely the manipulation of the supermarkets: have you considered that the VAT in Germany is 19%, whereas in Hungary it's 27%? Also, there is a 4.1% extra tax on foreign supermakets' turnover. That alone explains 10% diff on prices
Der #Abwehrschirm ist eine glasklare Antwort an Putin. Er ist aber auch eine glasklare und richtungsweisende Antwort an die Menschen in unserem Land: Wir sind wirtschaftlich stark. Diese wirtschaftliche Stärke mobilisieren wir, wenn es erforderlich ist. So wie jetzt. TL
Der schönste Nebeneffekt des #9EuroTicket war, dass unser heiliges Verkehrsverbünde Reich deutscher Nation für 90 Tage keine Rolle mehr gespielt hat. Wie herrlich war es unterwegs zu sein, ohne daran denken zu müssen, in welcher Tarifzone man gerade ist. Ich werde es vermissen😪
I am so proud of my strong, beautiful daughter for not allowing this to faze her. She continued to smile and pose for the picture like a Queen.
No child should be pushed to the side for a photo op. PERIOD!!
