Europe urgently needs solidarity on China, writes Thomas O. Falk (@topfalk). EU states have learnt not to pick fights with China. They should see their most vital trade weapon is not the ‘kill switch’ but solidarity. scmp.com/opinion/world-opini…

Germany depends on China for critical industrial supplies and on America for its security. But reducing these vulnerabilities requires broader European cooperation, even as EU industrial policies threaten to constrain Berlin's new Asian partnerships.

What feels best? Sex toy maker TENGA asked people in 9 countries to rank 14 pleasures. Sex came 1st in most countries. The Japanese prefer food over sex. The Germans are lying…

Klartext von unserem Innenminister! Die anhaltenden Ausschreitungen in Frankreich sind ein bewaffneter Kampf gegen die freiheitliche Gesellschaft und unseren Lebensstil. Plünderungen, verletzte Einsatz- und Sicherheitskräfte, Zerstörung von öffentlichen Institutionen und Kirchen. Die Randale wird hierzulande von Linken-Politikern sogar noch bejubelt. Innenminister Dobrindt machte deutlich: „Wer Straßen in Schlachtfelder verwandelt, Polizisten angreift und Rathäuser anzündet, demonstriert nicht für bessere Bildung, sondern führt einen bewaffneten Kampf gegen die freiheitliche Gesellschaft und unseren Lebensstil.“

A new cabinet could shift tone fast. Policy is harder: Morocco holds leverage at Ceuta, courts curb migrant returns, Spain still runs on its 2023 budget, and Vox wants concessions. Madrid will likely sound different long before it acts differently.

Sánchez sidestepped NATO’s 5 percent target, denied bases for the Iran campaign, and imposed an arms embargo on Israel. Yet Spain kept staffing the alliance’s eastern flank. The target was Trump’s agenda rather than NATO itself.

Pedro Sánchez called a snap election over rents. Now comes a harder test: can Spain’s conservatives bring NATO’s loudest dissenter back into line, or will budgets, courts, and far-right demands keep the shift mostly in tone? by Thomas Falk @topfalk eagleintelreports.com/spains…

Washington has traditionally favored a strong, united Britain, but changing U.S. priorities and growing acceptance of a united Ireland, especially in the Trump administration, could alter America’s stake in preserving the UK’s constitutional status quo. @topfalk

Constitutional instability inside the UK could create opportunities for Russia by aggravating political divisions within a key NATO member and complicating Western security planning as geopolitical tensions with the East grow. @topfalk

In seinem Büro sollen sich laut Medienberichten regelmässig Israel-Feinde getroffen haben, die den Hamas-Überfall am 7. Oktober als «Leuchtfeuer der Standhaftigkeit» bejubeln. Kocaks Umgang mit Steuermitteln wirft weitere Fragen auf. nzz.ch/deutschland/politik/n…

Most people in Gaza must understand that October 7 was a criminal mistake that brought Gaza nothing but devastation. But foreign supporters urge the Gazans to try it again.
At least 75 pro Palestinian rallies and major events are planned worldwide for the anniversary of October 7.

“Zionists” must be “hunted down in the same way as the Nazis.” If language like this doesn’t wake you up to the danger of where this rhetoric can lead, I don’t know what will. Wake-up Britain 🇬🇧

President Trump wanted Greenland. After threats and coercion, he got something more practical: new U.S. bases, a say over rival powers, and strategic access built to survive Greenlandic independence—all without ownership. By Thomas O. Falk @topfalk eagleintelreports.com/washin…

Reminder; you’re a terror supporting “Gaza First” politician who supports those who physically harm British men and women defending the UK. You also don’t get to define what is or isn’t antisemitism. Go to hell Zarah.
Reminder: anti-Zionism is not antisemitism. The smears won’t work.
