..."Part of the country refuses to face reality. France is bankrupt. The deficit is over five per cent of GDP and public debt exceeds €3.5 trillion. France already spends a great deal on education: around €15,000 per secondary-school pupil, well above the OECD average. The education budget has increased by €12 billion under President Macron. Yet educational performance is falling."
Well said,
"They are ignorant of France’s decline. They are passengers on a plane heading for a crash, yet they feel like first-class travellers entitled to every luxury."

Ik zie op internet dat het continue herhalen van het beeld dat Zelensky "niet wil toegeven" werkt , terwijl het een feit is dat hij bereid is met elk staakt-het-vuren in te stemmen en gesprekken te beginnen.

…tegelijk is de Europese begroting maar iets van 1.1 procent van het Europese BBP, wellicht groeiend naar 1.4-2% , nogal beperkt dus, belangrijker vind ik dat we het Europese geld aan de goede dingen besteden,,,
The treason by Trump, betraying his country and his allies, actively helping to increase the number of civilian casualties in Ukraine. If democracy in the US was functioning, this would have been the end of the Trump presidency.

If true, sabotage by the US.
"Ukraine's Starlink access has been restricted without warning, severely disrupting "several" military missions, presidential adviser Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov , "I confirm that SpaceX implemented speed restrictions on Starlink terminals while in motion last night. Currently, the restriction applies to the StarShield 'military service package' and limits speed to 100 miles per hour (160 kilometers per hour),"

Saudi-Arabia is a good example that endless money and weapons won't necessarily bring you a strong military. It's incredible how they fail if you think about their resources, modern equipment. They look terribly weak.

Zo zien cyberaanvallen met als doel maatschappelijke ontwrichting er uit. De dader, met nodige cut-outs om het te kunnen ontkennen, ligt voor de hand.
