It's all in the name of protecting a stupid country far away from Canada just so it can pretend to boast in principle about the-so called "rules based order." When the whole world knows is nothing other than an American led west imposition.

Just take all the pretentiousness of the Eurocucks bloviating about their need to protect their continent from the Russian orks making declarations of raising their defense need and then plans or planning to station their meagre amount of soldiers in Ukraine with one major CAVEAT: UNDER THE AUSPICES/PROTECTION AND GUARANTEE OF THE U.S. LOL

The whole continent in my opinion is a f..ng joke. If you guys and gals are going to proclaim your importance and the supposed majestic power they possess, show it in action and not just in flowery speeches and countless meanderings on T.V.

If you say you're going to do X, Y, Z against Russia, DO IT without hesitation. Perhaps then people outside their lived and protected bubble would actually start respecting them (a little bit).

All these requests for a rise in defense spending is nothing than an exercise to prepare the EU continent against China - since it's the only country capable on taking them all on.

Watch and look at the respective EU countries focus in terms of weapons procurements and focus of attention. If their Navy, industrial capacity, natural mineral resources mined etc...and the desperate attempt by the current American regime of King Trump I to bring Russia side into the western fold - against the very wishes and demands of the vassals. It's the great imagination and wishful thinking that a unified EU with Russia/U.S. would more than enough to beat the snot out of commie China. That's what in my opinion is the driving force behind all of these moves which is why Trump and his syncopanths don't have the patience to explain to their dimwitted EU cousins what's up.

What better way to prepare your feudal lords for a fight then by losing them a big war and then betraying them in the negotiations afterwards? Guaranteed they will all show up in the muster in the next war against an even stronger enemy.

Imho it's mostly just cope from Americans thinking they can still contest hegemony with China and that Trump has 4D chess to help them do that. No, Trump is just consolidating domestic power and seeking a way to disengage/run from a direct fight with China.

Biden was the one trying to vie for hegemony with China, that's the reason why so many of his politics seemed so two sided and schizophrenic, because he was pursuing the big tent coalition he would need in order to somewhat argue what amounts to a bunch of feudal subjects with different interests to join together. Trump is doing the opposite of that.

Many such cases. Korea is known for it's tofu buildings and poor work safety.

Tesla shares sank 8% on Tuesday and have now lost most of their gains that followed President Donald Trump’s election victory in November.

The stock has plunged 25% this year, while the Nasdaq is down just 1.5%.

Reuters reported on Monday that the company’s long-awaited upgrade of its partially automated driving system in China left owners unimpressed.

It's going to get worse as more reviews come out. There's already videos circulating of FSD running red lights and committing other violations.

Seem's TSLA has lost all western markets except the US because of Elon's vocal politics. Still selling well in China but will that streak last if the US becomes more aggressive against China and Chinese cars dominate? India would love to have Tesla but how many can actually be bought in the market with supporting infrastructure?

We see Chinese humanoid robots running and doing kungful while the TSLA bot was a person in a suit last year(?). FSD is still vaporware. Tesla taxi is still vaporware. All of those dream vaporware is contributing to the high stock/pe... Can Musk deliver?
