Thank you, but it doesn’t work for me:

Which war does the EU face? The military of the EU is already bigger than the Russian military. European air superiority will destroy any Russian attack.

Does GB need a cookie? Why do they toot their own horn?

Edit: Does it not feel out of character to you? There is no ceasefire agreement, just an agreement to participate in negotiations. I would assume that to a British prime minister, that’s not worth mentioning and when the BBC writes it like this, that it is a subtle putdown.

There should be another feed, besides subscribed, local and all, that shows the channels that are relevant to the instance.

This idea relates to custom collections: https://lemmy.world/post/26654286

“America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests.”

This is not new. Even England had a shakedown before WW2 support.

How can I link a post without redirecting?

The surveillance of chats and the prohibition of encryption in many Western countries must have a purpose. It mostly makes sense if democracy is dismantled.

Since the West doesn’t show signs of sharing resources voluntarily, my prediction is that the West is willing to fight a nuclear war to preserve its lead which cannot happen in a democracy.

Without that war, Asia will take over as the center of commerce and innovation. The brightest will move there, which means that the remaining people in the West have to be innovative without the main ingredience for innovation.

How does this pen out? If those weapons are meant to be used defencively, they have to be second-strike weapons.

This means that Germany needs nuclear submarines because everything else could be hit by Russian nuclear bombs in the assumed Russian attack.

Preparing nuclear weapons on fighter jets only helps to make Germany a target.

France and UK rightfully ask for support for their nuclear weapons program but there is no need to be further involved than financing it.

This would be good for instances if a default custom collection could be added to the “subscribed, local, all” selection.

Then an instance could show the content it wants to represent.

They could, but what do they think will happen then?

Then you have more demand than supply because there is not enough coffee for everybody. This leads to people queueing and some people leaving without coffee.

What do you mean? There are globally less coffee beans available. Or do you mean the 30%? That’s just an arbitrary number, as I tried to make clear by writing “Let’s say …”.

How about this explanation:

There is a reduced supply of coffee beans. Let’s say 30%. This requires that 30% of customers have to be priced out of the market.

If the coffee shop owners only increase the price by several cents then the demand stays the same. They have to fight for coffee beans which drives up their costs step by step.

However, if they increase the price in advance, and far more than necessary right from the start, then the reduced demand matches the available supply and the value of the coffee beans roughly remains the same which allows them to profit from most of the price hike.

Russia is fighting to prevent NATO troops in Ukrain. Am I mistaken or does this bind Russia to fight until they either collapse or conquer all of Ukrain?

The point is having a common language and thus economic and cultural advantages. English is a secondary language for most people. In the US, it’s probably replaced with Spanish.

With Arabic, you have many more primary language speakers. Thanks to immigration, the transition to Arabic can be made easy. Then it’s possible to sell products in one packaging from Portugal to India.

I am not arguing that this should happen. It’s just an opportunity that is not obvious because Arabic is not a traditional European language. Though I would assume that there are now more Arabic than Basque speakers.

The point of speaking Arabic would be to have the same language as North Africa and Arabia. And once Europe speaks Arabic, neighboring countries like Turkye, Iran or Pakistan and India could see the benefit in joining.

This doesn’t mean that those countries become part of the EU. It would just create a huge zone with a single language which has its own advantages.

It depends on what Europe wants to be. The language is in some ways connected to the culture. Would Europe get a more Mediterranean savoir vivre if everybody spoke Spanish or French? I think so.

An ambitious and interesting option for Europe could be Arabic as the lingua franca. If Europe commits, other countries like Iran or India could also be interested in joining. That could create a huge area with a single language as long as it doesn’t splinter into dialects like the current Arabic.
