It‘s really fascinating given the whole debate about alleged restrictions to free speech in Europe, that while 59% of Germans say they are free or extremely free to express their opinion, even if unpopular, 61% of Germans think people *in the US* are not too free or not at all free to do so.

US-Sicherheitsstrategie: Deutsche Geheimdienste sind besorgt und warnen
Der Verfassungsschutz mahnt mehr Befugnisse an, um unabhängiger von amerikanischen Geheimdiensten zu werden. Denkbar sei sogar, dass sich die USA bei Wahlen in Europa stärker einmischen könnten.

“How would you rate the current relations between Germany and the United States?”
Crazy how much the US administration in power influences what should be a largely a non-political question.

Good article on the US plans to build 300 000 low cost drones.
As I have said about similar German plans, I think it’s more important to build up production capabilities instead of putting a lot of systems in storage. (With the US budget, you can of course do both 🤷♀️)

It is my opinion that people should focus more on
"How do we get through the next five years?"
and less on
"If only it was 2015 again!“
