The Economist: China never mastered the technology of ICE because...drum roll...it was complex.

Mastering ICE vehicles means cheaper life cycle cost in all world conditions (re export business without official warranty) and parts availability that spans decades. Mercedes is CLA is a niche vehicle that is neither cheap nor reliable for its class.
Germany got temporary wealthy by building disposable expensive vehicles/parts that drove its trade surpluses but that cooperative world is gone. and it is not just Germany but this complex vehicle supply chains of auto business have bankrupted EU now it has to face both Soft power and hard power.

Can someone in the know explain this?

Could this be fake?
Maybe American Jews don't desire aggressive support to Israel?
Trump not pro Israel enough?

Too much water under the bridge now, Finlandisation didn’t make Finland neutral, it merely delayed its entry into NATO. One of the stupidest decisions made by any two states were Sweden and Finland entering NATO.

"Donald Trump, during his first term as US President, planned to name Kashyap Patel, an Indian-origin lawyer, the deputy director of the CIA in the final weeks of his administration. With Trump securing another term, Mr Patel will be the likely pick." Indian media NDTV

Sure, Macron, you can start by not killing the EU EV industry by joining the U.S. trade war against China.

There are Jews don't support Zionism and protest against it, especially orthodox Jews. Israel is intentionally mixing up anti-semitism and anti-zionism to paint itself as victim.

However, don't think that voting for Democrats = not supporting Israel. The latter has a bipartisan support.

Lighthizer had been asked to return to the top trade role even though he had lobbied for a different position, including commerce secretary, FT says
Trump will most likely offer commerce secretary post to Linda McMahon: FT"

If you've ever wondered about israeli influence on western media and politicians, just look at how the amsterdam football fights are being turned into some kind of massive "antisemitic attack on jews" by western media and politicians like Biden and Trudeau

Football fights are dime a dozen and an attack on another group would probably never make local news
