Was haben Politikwissenschaft und Klimaforschung gemeinsam?
Es hört ihnen einfach niemand zu.
Und schon gar nicht in der Union.
Alles, was Peter Tauber, zu Guttenberg, Andreas Rödder und ihm seine Denkfabrik sagen, ist wissenschaftlich widerlegt.

Ich schaue nach langer Zeit durchaus wieder mit Optimismus wieder in die Ukraine. Und zwar, weil ihre Kriegsstrategie aufgeht. Weil sie schneller innoviert als Russland. Letztlich, weil sie ein freies Land ist. Und Russland nicht.

Impressive news that a Pr.21631 Buyan-M class missile corvette has been hit by Ukraine on Lake Onega, up north. Presumably by a strike drone (OWA-UAV)?
This ship can launch Kalibr cruise missiles.
Lake Onega is on the inland waterways connecting Baltic, Arctic, Caspian and Black Sea

Europeans back higher defence spending amid Russia threat, poll finds
Majorities in some countries back mandatory military service, and poll shows public sharply divided over Trump
Faced with an unpredictable Donald Trump and an aggressive Russia, Europeans favour increased spending on defence and, in some countries, compulsory military service.
A survey of 12 countries for the European Council on Foreign Relations showed majorities for increased defence spending in Poland (70%), Denmark (70%) and the UK (57%). Continue reading...
