He stated that the program could be found on YouTube and Spotify, while it would likely take longer before it was available on Apple. One could search for Steno and Rosenvold, he wrote. #podcast #investeringer #geopolitik (translated)
Bernd Kaiser wrote that Ukrainian officers were dismayed because their drones were suddenly only allowed to fly at 161 km/h. He claimed that Ukraine's military strategy depended entirely on US technology: Elon Musk's satellites, AI targeting data from Peter Thiel's company Palantir, and Hornet drones from former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. The US military, under Donald Trump, reduced the Starshield network to exactly 100 miles per hour, Kaiser wrote. This would cause all Ukrainian medium-range operations to collapse. Kaiser argued that whoever controls the satellites in space sets the rules on the ground. At the same time, he accused Europe of having no own satellite networks, relevant military AI, or global technology companies, but having strict regulations. Berlin and Brussels should be aware of this, he wrote, and not continue to push Europe into a hopeless war. #Geopolitik #UkraineKrieg #Militärtechnik (translated)

"There is no massive industrial shock from China," says Simon Evenett, a professor of geopolitics and strategy at the IMD Business School in Lausanne. "It is not a classic case where low-quality products are pushed into the market at prices that drive out European producers." Economist Evenett shows that imports of pharmaceutical goods from China to the EU increased by about 50 percent in volume since 2023, but imports from other countries increased much more strongly. #Handelskonflikt #ChinaSchock #EUHandelspolitik (translated)
