Not sure if it really matters, Germany is the bit$h of the USA after all, only that Germany is so weak that Poland is trying to extract trillions of dollars worth of compensation for a war long ago and there isn’t much that Germany can do about it. To be honest, the USA really does suck when they want strong allies because they seem to have a tendency to weaken them greatly over time. I honestly reckon that Nth Korea could take in Germany and win even without factoring their nukes. Hitler much be crying in hell right now and if the LGBTQ crap comes to Germany, he might just give Seppuku a try

Josep Borrell: “our prosperity was based on China and Russia [but] we delegated our security to the US… We have to take a bigger part of our responsibility in securing security… This is a world that is no longer there. There is the US-China competition. This is the most important “structuring force”. The world is being structured around this competition - like it or not. The two big powers – big, big, big, very big – are competing and this competition will restructure the world
We have multiple players and poles, each one looking for their interest and values. Look at Turkey, India, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, Indonesia. They are middle powers. They are swing states – they vote on one side or the other according to their interests, not only their theoretical values. But these people – I mention them again: Turkey, India, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, Indonesia – are players and poles

The story of USA today. Building America's 1st bullet train is looking more challenging than the Space Program. Even with all that foreign HSR help. Decades later, still 0 km of HSR and the project price balloons from $33 billion to $113 billion. And on top of that, all the political roadblocks to keep the project from progressing.

But if Ukraine needs $40 billion blank check to fight Russia. It you got it. Instant passing in Congress. The 1st weapons are flown to Ukraine in a matter of weeks. You get the sense what the hell is going on in America.

America won't ask for help from China. Anything that is a matter of national pride. The US won't allow China to take credit.

Speaking about HSR struggles. India is also a contender for comedy.

India too cannot allow China to be part of India's national pride projects. India would rather pay rates comparable to Europe to build its HSR. What about those the red tapes and legal roadblocks in India that is standing in the way of their HSR project? Who knows what their final costing would look like. LOL!

China dodged a bullet with this one. The issue is not with the party involved with the construction but rather land allocation. You can get Zeta Reticullans to try and build HSR there and they can’t finish in half a century either.

Not only that:

Valdis Dombrovskis, European Commissioner for Trade said EU should not be naive and take a pragmatic tone when dealing with China, need more win-wins for both sides.

I can already feel the rage in those Taiwanese DW editors as they put this news together.

That cop was only fired after what he did? How? If that was a Russian or Iranian cop, the collective West would be calling for revolution.

Actually, that cop wasn’t fired for shooting the teen, he was fired for not following department procedures in the course of shooting the teen. Had he followed the rules and only shot the teen after backup had arrived, he would not have been fired at all.

i think he deliberately not mentioning some things due either personal interest or real threat to Europa that will extract European wealth at accelerated pace.
They are building mega cities where European elites will spend there winters just like Arab elites spend summers in Europa. There will be classification of firms and countries. only those countries and firms will be favored where there owners and executives have personal investment in this new economic system. it could be real estate, physical metals or firm shares. France is the leader in that pack. billions of dollars of ammunition contracts were given to this country from Emirates and Saudis around Covid.
this what they expect.
