This is years before the war started and should remind us once again that Putin always wanted to take Ukraine. It also says that this war will never end with Putin in the Kremlin. It will go on until he is removed, permanently, and Russia fully dislodged. Everything else is just noise.

viele gute Vorschläge. 6jährige Volksschule ähnlich CH/UK, ein Fach Science, mehr Digitales (statt 2h in gesamter Oberstufe - darauf haben wir in Studie zu Schlüsseltech hingewiesen), mittlere Reife (ähnlich GCSE UK). Ganztagesschule&Polyreform braucht es noch 1/2

Natural gas prices in Europe have all but returned to normal since Russia's full scale war in Ukraine. In fact, the only reason for the spike in 2021 and 2022 has been Russia's energy war against Europe, which started even before the full scale invasion of Ukraine. The numbers clearly say that.
Well, this is an utter disaster for science.

This gutting of peer review is very likely driven by Project 2025/OMB/Vought, very likely is about funding junk science, and very likely is coming for #NIH and biomedical research next.

An 11-year-old boy, disfigured by a russian missile, orphaned, forced through 36 surgeries, is speaking in 🇪🇺 Parliament asking us not to give up.

If this child refuses to surrender to the moscow-centered terrorist enterprise, what excuse do the rest of us have?

russia won’t stop, we must stop it!

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

German taxpayers are handing BMW €273m to once again attempt to push hydrogen-powered cars, when battery prices have once again dropped >50% in the past ~18 month and CATL is on its 5th-gen LFP battery.

If the EUs once most competitive economy struggles on such a scale a host of changes at the EU level may be possible - IMHO implement the Draghi report with joint financing and targeted industrial policies. DE will not come out of this on its own - just like Greece 15 years ago.
