Baseless claim. You have no evidence of it,,as usual!

Let's eliminate the NASA and its useless spendings! Oh wait! 😆

Defense is not part of EU's prerogative. It's up to each member State. The main problem is that they don't really agree with each other on a common defense project.

If it's so bad, why do Trump and Musk need to make fake claims, such as the ridiculous condom story?

Gag! 🙂 Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/climate/nuclear-nnsa-firings-trump

Exactly. The whole point is to make fake claims!🙂

(y − γ)(y − γ) = (y − Xβˆ)+(Xβˆ − γ)(y − Xβˆ)+(Xβˆ − γ) 😆

Retail price! You can buy 1000 for $275, and for 770 millions condoms, it's obviously much cheaper! 🙂 There's no way sending $50 million worth of condoms to only Gaza (wherever it is) can be considered as realistic. 🤣

Nice try but: - it's a FY 2012 number from the archive site. Of course, Musk blocked the USAID website so no one can cross-check his claims! 🙂 - it's not about Gaza, 🙂 - The claim by Trump and Musk was $50 million, not 50 million condoms! 🙂 In summary, you have nothing! 🤣

Then why are MAGA posters only showing tweets? Self reply after having a look at Doge.gov: Because the website only displays tweets and vids!

There's a recurrent debate among economists about economic indicators. They don't all agree.

Says AN macroeconomist! (I don't disagree with the claim that indicators are comparable over time)

Yes, as in the other countries, there was less inflation pre- Covid than post Covid. But your pals said that the indicators were misleading, or even lies. So according to their claims, they were misleading for Trump too?

The funny aspect of some comments, is that it's exactly the same indicators, from the same institutions, calculated in exactly the same way that MAGAs were using for bragging about Trump's economic performance during his first mandate!

More baseless conspiracy theory stuff as usual!

More vacuity from you...

A tweet from Massie. Is that all you have?

No. It's a baseless claim.

An honest mistake!

Yet $50 million worth of condoms have also not been sent to Gaza province in Mozambique. 🙂

Right. It's only by tweets. A good example of Musk's tactics is the fact that he blocked the USAID website, so that no one can fact-chek his accusations. https://www.usaid.gov/

That's not a serious option. However, they already have a trade deal. They could extend it, participate in joint R&D programs, etc... The lesson of recent events (Covid pandemic, Ukraine invasion, Trump's expected policies) for any country or Union, is that it's dangerous to depend too much on one country. One can expect the EU, Canada, China, etc... to reduce their dependence on the U.S. Same for other countries to reduce their dependence on China. The future dominant strategy will likely be to manage to get a more balanced and more diversified portfolio of economic partners.

BTW. Why did you reply instead of Yellowtail with: I never said they did nothing?

It seems to be a consistent pattern across several threads... I'm wondering if he's not another impersonation of Yellowtail. Once I replied to Yellowtail and Morgandave replied to me: I never said that! 🙂 Then there is also the use of the same expressions such as poor lefties, et ..

Blah blah
