That Merz wants to overturn the ban on combustion engines in the name of his fossil friends hardly triggers me politically regarding climate. The train has left. But from an economic perspective, it means the end for the German automotive industry and hundreds of thousands of jobs. And we all know who will pay for the madness. (translated)

The author said the deteriorating security situation in the Black Sea, Russia’s escalating aerial attacks on Ukraine and direct military threats against Europe’s defence industry should be sufficient grounds for NATO to hold Article 4 consultations. #NATO #Ukraine #Security #RU #UA #EU

“The 2025 research, which received plenty of press attention, is the latest of multiple observational studies suggesting that late-in-life chronic diseases like dementia may be triggered by viruses that linger and lie dormant in our bodies—and perhaps in the nervous system in particular.”

Joren Vermeersch wrote that he did not view the closure of Starlink for Ukrainian drone operations on Ukrainian territory as a lever to make Ukraine stop attacking Russian refineries. According to him, Ukraine had already unilaterally halted those attacks at Trump's request. Vermeersch suspected that Trump might want to force Ukraine to withdraw from the non-occupied parts of the Donetsk province and hand them over to Russia. He derived this from Trump's statements that Zelensky did not want to reach an agreement and that Putin was more focused on an agreement than Zelensky. According to Vermeersch, Trump seemed to think that Putin would be willing to negotiate a ceasefire after such a Ukrainian concession. He described that expectation as dangerous wishful thinking and pointed out that, in his view, Putin also claimed the non-conquered parts of Zaporizhia and Kherson. According to Vermeersch, Russia had constitutionally annexed those provinces; the claimed areas also included both provincial capitals. A Russian presence there would give Russia, according to him, a foothold on the right bank of the Dnipro in two places, in view of a possible third phase of the conquest war. As the main obstacle to a ceasefire, Vermeersch mentioned Putin's demand that Ukraine unilaterally disarm and demilitarize. According to him, that would amount to capitulation and certainly provoke a new invasion. He wrote that Putin had repeated that demand in every diplomatic round, including during the last round in Moscow the month before, with Witkoff and Kuchner. Vermeersch believed that Trump was wrongly thinking that Putin did not take that demand seriously. Vermeersch argued that Ukraine could not afford dangerous wishful thinking, as it was fighting for the survival of its society, people, and state. Because Putin continued to insist on unconditional capitulation, Ukraine was forced to keep defending itself. He wrote that it would continue to do so until it achieved a ceasefire that left it free in the part of the country it had successfully defended. #Oekraïne #Rusland #Vrede (translated)

The author wrote that the Nobel Prize awarded to Mike Woodford and Bob Hall would reignite debate over the New Keynesian model. They said some would treat it as an unambiguous success in building macroeconomics on microfoundations, while others would dismiss it as an empirically irrelevant construction.

The author wrote that Saudi Arabia was facing intense attacks while the United States, which they said had triggered the war in the Middle East, looked elsewhere. They claimed a Houthi strike on Riyadh airport had killed 12 people and said a saying about those relying on America being left exposed had become especially relevant. #MiddleEast #SaudiArabia #Houthi #US #SA #YE
