on 02025-04-17#news: the #Economist discusses the possibilities of European self-defense. “There are approximately 230 Russian and Ukrainian brigades in #Ukraine, though most are under-strength. Many European countries would struggle to produce a single combat-capable brigade each. (...) Europe has impressive air forces, with a lot of modern jets. But those jets do not have a meaningful stockpile of munitions capable of destroying enemy air defences or striking distant targets on land or in the air[.] (...) “This”, pronounced Mr Merz on February 24th, “is really five minutes to midnight for Europe.”” #Trump #politics

on 02025-01-29#Economist #news article from January 14th on #Milei and #politics in #Argentina. “A closer look at inflation numbers suggests that, despite smaller price rises, most Argentines are not yet better off than they were a year ago. (...) The economic gloom could hobble Mr Milei’s reform efforts. The country still maintains strict currency controls to prop up the wobbly peso. Mr Milei has vowed to ease these restrictions and let the currency float. But first he wants to negotiate a loan with the IMF, a condition of which will probably be a new set of reforms. For now, Mr Milei remains popular: nearly half of Argentines support him, according to a recent survey by AtlasIntel, a pollster, even though just one in five rates the economy as “good”.”
