Interesting that RT uses the picture of a Mongolian officer to highlight the importance of Russia‘s alliance with North Korea. The officer dressed in green has a large badge saying ‘Mongolia‘.

The EU’s population is larger than that of the USA. The EU has 450 million people, the USA 340 million.

The above graph should be put into perspective. Hungary imports about 25% of its net electricity consumption. So while solar has a huge share of the electricity produced in Hungary, it doesn’t have such an impressive share of the electricity consumed in Hungary.

At this rate, in a couple of years Germans car-makers will be the most fervent proponents of a Verbrenner-Aus by 2035.

Even according to this graph, Germans will buy more BEVs than ICEs from 2031 onwards. ICE production facilities will increasingly turn into liabilities. So why do the carmakers want to hold on to those liabilities longer?

What are German carmakers expecting out of this? It won’t boost ICE sales since anybody can buy ICEs for the next ten years even under the existing regulation. And in ten years BEV demand will surpass demand for ICEs.

The German army struggles with recruitment but received a large money injection. There is a bunch of foreign well-trained soldiers in Germany who are not paid by their government. I envision a win-win situation here.

Essential spending during shutdown.

Genialer Artikel!

Deutschland ist jetzt ungefähr dort, wo Norwegen 2017 war. Das Verbrenner-Aus 2035 ist gut zu schaffen. (Neuzulassungen im ersten Halbjahr in Deutschland: www.vdik.de/2025/plus-be...)

Art of the deal.

Spot on.

If I were Russia, I’d push the talking point of a German industry that is failing because of high energy prices.
