Warum sind Satire-Sendungen wie „Die Anstalt“ eigentlich die einzigen, die über die Machenschaften von Frau Reiche und der restlichen Union aufklären? Mit Faktencheck. www.zdf.de/video/shows/...

Union unter Strom

Das Anstaltsensemble versucht, die Rettung der Wirtschaft vor dem Klima in eine Rettung des Klimas durch die Wirtschaft umzuwandeln.

For the people around him, like Miller and Vought... his dementia means they have even more power and they'll fight anyone who talks about removing him because of it. I wonder if trump even knows... they might keep it from him for fear of his reaction.

The consequences for Europe of a Taiwan war could be far more damaging than Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, given Taiwan’s leading role in semiconductor supply chains.

Europe and Taiwan should cooperate to navigate an uncertain world

Through deeper ‘officially unofficial’ partnerships Taipei and European countries can learn from each other and build resilience in an era of US-China rivalry.
