Regina Laska criticized that Donald Trump once again accused Volodymyr Zelensky of not wanting to end the war. According to Laska, Trump overlooked that Vladimir Putin has been bombing Ukraine for four and a half years. Instead, Trump is concerned about Russian refineries, US diesel prices, and Putin's feelings, she wrote. Citing the Wall Street Journal, Laska reported that Putin proposed a meeting between Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, possibly in November in Shenzhen. The meeting would be about the future of Ukraine, which, like Europe, would not be invited. The Kremlin has confirmed that the proposal is being discussed; Trump has not yet agreed. However, a senior US government representative believes he is open to it, according to Laska. A source from the Wall Street Journal described Putin's proposal as a "second Yalta." Laska compared the proposal to the 1945 conference, where Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill negotiated Europe's post-war order while the affected countries were not at the table. Putin's plan envisions a negotiation between the aggressor and the great powers regarding the fate of the victim – without European involvement. She urged Europe to discuss possible political and economic leverage. China is reliant on the European market, Ukraine is fighting with weapons that are largely financed by Europe, and the majority of frozen Russian central bank assets are held in Europe, she wrote. Laska argued that Europe must thwart the plan before it turns into a summit and warned that those who are not given a seat at such negotiations could end up being the subject of the agreements. #Trump #Putin #Ukraine (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang criticized Germany's lag in future technologies. While Huang pointed to German talent and technical know-how, he saw the problem in Europe's tendency to overthink projects. Boeminghaus reacted sarcastically to the notion that such concerns were a fairytale. At the same time, Boeminghaus referred to a planned collaboration between Nvidia and the German government, according to Handelsblatt. This involves investments of several hundred million euros in industrial AI, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and open AI models. The partnership is scheduled to be presented on October 19 in Berlin; the Nvidia developer conference GTC is set for October 20 to 22. https://t.co/pQ0vPFd1rX #Deutschland #Technologie #KünstlicheIntelligenz (translated)

Ulrich Vosgerau wrote that Stefan Homburg rightly criticized that politics distorts the concept of investment. According to his observation, in political language, "investment" has long been used no longer in the economic sense, but generally denotes an expenditure that is desirable from the politicians' perspective. Whether value is preserved or a return can be expected does not matter. According to Vosgerau, expenditures are often considered politically sensible if they contribute to maintaining power. #Investition #Politik #Ökonomie (translated)
