Good booooy.

Went from battle for Russia's prosperity and projection of power to battle for survival. My boy, I think something went wrong with your plan, dontcha think ?

France is trying to understand (just like any other countries) if China is bullshitting, strangely honest, or Putin's scapegoat to retreat from Ukraine. Macron has said, very clearly : it is to the Ukranians to choose the terms and conditions of a peace deal.

Just like Zelensky, he's trying to poke china to see whats up with their rethoric. Is China setting an escape route for Putin ? Is China serious about this ? Or are they starting to feel the pressure on them ?

One way to see it lol

With an open front in Ukraine, they could never afford an other one with finland, even alone. The terrain is on Finland side, and the whole logistic to bring an army to Finland doorstep could be disrupted very easily.

Senate is almost the hardest to pass-by, so this is good news. I do think our parliament will approve it. Worse that can happen afterward is a referendum by the people to counter it, but it would arrive too late to stop Switzerland from supplying ammunitions to Germany and therefore, Ukraine.

Ironically, regulations could make bitcoin skyrocket. Or straight send it to the bottom pit of hell. No in between.

Well too bad we cant buy puts \ short it. Sad WSB noises

How is that hypocritical ? Do you even now what this term stands for ?

I think its rather the technologies that is developped and discoveries that are very helpful. Without space exploration :

- Solar pannels wouldn't be as powerful today.

- They gave a huge boost to the chip manifacturing

- Insulin pumps

- Improved water filters

- Small cameras that fits your phone

- No CAT Scans

- No LEDs

The list goes on. You can find more about that on the NASA website I believe.

We arguably need more... Don't get me wrong, 18.5bn € is good, but we are limping behind the US and China.

Damn i'm tired of hearing this. ESA is like 12 bilion USD a year, all the participants GDP combined is above 10 trillion USD...

Edit : Nothing against you pal, but it always reminds me of the film Interstellar where people just straight blame the problem of the world on the fact that they spent billions on the space programs.

Thing is, the contries that needs it the most are mainly in north africa and the middle east. This Kind of move can spark civil unrest in these regions
