The French may be about to find out why the Brits voted to leave the EU.
A couple of weeks back the EU imposed a tariff on Chinese electric vehicles. The Chinese retaliated by imposing tariffs on a number of EU commodities including brandy. As an excuse the Chinese claim that the EU is dumping cheap brandy in their market, that is remarkably similar to the Australian wine situation. The problem for France is 99% of the EU's brandy exports to China come from France.
Brussels makes a decision and the French economy suffers. There is strength in numbers but sometimes it is better to control your own destiny.

"-Replace with Russians"
Putin has taken another lesson out of Stalin’s book.
In the 1930’s Stalin replaced the Ukrainians who died from starvation (Holodomor) with russians.
Anyway, why would Putin need to replace the population with russians when he is “protecting” russian speakers in Ukraine. Because it’s a part of russian history, replace the existing population with russians. Examples include Crimea and Kaliningrad (1946).

Come on NATO

From an article 7th August 2024
Amid Putin’s war in Ukraine and following Russian violations of arms-control measures, Washington and Berlin recently agreed to send American long-range missiles to Germany. Other European NATO allies are now seeking to acquire their own.

I wish the Australian media would leave the US Presidential Election alone. Seven ran wall to wall coverage this morning and all they did was highlight Trump's failings and tell us the event was 'too close to call'. The US Presidential election is getting more coverage than the Australian Federal election.

Whilst I don't believe it is getting more coverage than our elections, regardless; It is, on a global scale, of much greater significance than Australia
I hear you but a 50/50 chance of a fascist US will have ramifications far beyond the states

Can someone explain to me how Trump has seemingly gotten himself back in the race? He looked dead and buried after Biden tagged in Kamala and he he just and kept being more outrageous and stupid than last time. Did his double down on awfulness pay off and win over more American idiots? He wasn't this bad going in to the election vs Hilary.
