I don't change my estimate that Putin will test NATO very soon. The window of opportunity is closing as time goes on. (translated)

It is laughable regarding the case of the deadly barrels in Šumava that a few barrels in a nobody's land are slowly a threat to all of Europe, while a burning pile with a storage of hazardous waste in Ostrava hardly bothers anyone. (translated)

To make it clear. Elon has long warned that AI needs to be tamed and Sam Altman is a fraud. He was (again) right. (translated)

If it is indeed true that OpenAI is on the verge of AGI with Astra, then essentially all the debates we have and that politicians have somehow cease to make sense. (translated)

This big deficit and increasing debt hide one more big danger. The state is investing, but sometimes chooses PPP solutions, which is certainly good, but it is all the more important to monitor all parameters because, for example, for D35 (and D4 and others) the state has to pay for 20 years. PPP, of course, provides. (translated)

Dolly Parton has passed away. Her hotel is currently being built in Nashville, and I was thinking that it is absolutely unbelievable what she can handle at her age. An absolute legend. RIP (translated)

A topic we have already touched upon and which will be talked about everywhere in a few months. The European Union will lose a large portion of medications, and those that remain will dramatically increase in price. Trump, together with the Democrats, is preparing to redraw the rules for drug prices. Already online! (translated)

The court has released and freed Andrej Anastasov today. The crime did not occur. It is completely absurd and it will not restore Andrej's health. And now let's take a look at what the articles looked like at the time he was accused. A quote from the indictment without any hint of critical thinking. (translated)

In Britain, there has been a turnaround and Labour is once again the most popular party, Farage is falling like a stone. Things are happening in Poland, Morawiecki has shaken up the political scene quite a bit. You will find out why Škoda has become a European superstar and there will also be talk about the Patriots😀 Already online! (translated)

Everything you wanted to know about Ceuta. Why the speculation that Pedro Sanchez is trying to buy votes is based on truth. Who are the people in Ceuta, who are the legalized migrants, why this is a real problem for the EU. A bunch of data and numbers. @Bruselskydiktat already online! On HeroHero https://t.co/UUZXGU5Cqo (translated)

How bad is Germany doing? Is there even a way out of the current crisis on many levels? With @OndrejHouska, we interviewed one of the best experts on Germany, Jakub Eberle. Online now! (translated)

The French approved a ban on social networks for children. It's a pity they didn't understand that it is much more important to ban adults. (translated)

At the end of June, I wrote here that we need to air-condition much more in Europe. But dramatically more. I naturally received advice that I am a complete idiot🤣 So maybe you will take it seriously in the FT. It would save tens of thousands of lives. (translated)

The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs filed a criminal complaint against some officials who allegedly favored subsidies to the Platform for Social Housing. It's about some 80 million crowns. This is significant because if the accusation is proven, it would be a case where an official on one side prepares the rules for funding. (translated)

In Europe, 60 to 200 people per million inhabitants die from heat. In the USA, it's 3 to 8 per million inhabitants. The difference is just air conditioning, so these are deaths that can clearly be prevented. In some years, it's even 60,000 people in Europe. By comparison, in 2024, there were deaths in the USA due to injuries. (translated)

Europe would suffer much less in the heat if it had more air conditioning. In the EU, only 20 percent of buildings have air conditioning, while in the USA, 90 percent of buildings do. (translated)

Half of the nation is defending the Constitution today, which they haven't read. The other half is abolishing it in the name of the people who did not ask them. Democracy in full swing. (translated)

It must be said that after that Iranian adventure, the withdrawal from Afghanistan looks like a polished operation down to the last detail. (translated)

You have definitely all seen Saving Private Ryan. These are the Niland brothers, whose fate the story is based on. They fell one day after another near Utah Beach, the third fell in Burma, and only the last one remained, and that is the movie Ryan. (translated)

A greater involvement of the Czech Republic in the eurozone is supported by 58 percent of citizens. This is one of the surprising results of an exclusive IPSOS survey for @Bruselskydiktat. According to it, Czechs are by no means such euroskeptics and support deeper integration. The new episode is already online! (translated)
