Generally speaking, one problem with public opinion and debates in democracies is that people might have very strong opinions about the ideal value of some policy parameter (e.g., defense spending, number of immigrants, crime rates, whatever) and ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE about the current real value.
Wow.
This says *everything* about the German defence debate, really.
For YEARS experts have fretted over public opinion on defence spending and how it would be impossible to justify spending over 1 or 2%. Turns out 35% (!!!!) of Germans think we’re already spending OVER 5 % of GDP. WTH.

Opinion entendue hier avec laquelle je suis tout à fait d'accord : il est important de développer la capacité en drones offensifs/ISR de petit gabarit des armées européennes, car ils suppriment la nécessité du tir moyenne distance dans l'infanterie (la théorie stupide derrière le M7 américain).
Good article on the US plans to build 300 000 low cost drones.
As I have said about similar German plans, I think it’s more important to build up production capabilities instead of putting a lot of systems in storage. (With the US budget, you can of course do both 🤷♀️)

Philosophically speaking, the problem with Musk’s comment is that the EU was not imposed on its member states; as sovereign states, they voluntarily entered into it and agree to abide by its governance. The EU structure also allows states to voluntarily leave the union.
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

Some information is coming out that seems to indicate that the Chicago ICE raid on a whole apartment building was based on reports from the landlord who wanted to kick people out of their homes.
This is a bit early still, but if true, it’s yet another an example of Past Patricia’s post.
