The shift to EVs is happening—fast. Manufacturers can either embrace the long-term transition or chase short-term gains by clinging to petrol and diesel.

China is choosing the long view. Many in Europe aren’t. The risk? Ending up with cars no one wants, lost market share, and shuttered factories.

Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

Merz just said on German TV that the primary priority of his government will be to ensure that Europe can achieve full strategic independence from the United States in the defence against Russia.

Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist.

Extraordinary.

Das letzte, was Deutschland jetzt braucht, ist mehr Polarisierung dieser Art. Merz spielt hier - wieder - der AfD in die Hände.
Gar nicht gut.
1 von3/ Keine Ahnung, was dieser Scharfmacher heute in München eigentlich für eine Idee hat, wie es zu einer Koalition kommen soll? Das hört sich dann eben doch trotz aller Beteuerungen nach AfD an.
