Why do #German politicians appeal to #Russia to end the war but then announce plans to subsidize Russian fuel? . Some thoughts on how all of this fits together. .

Germany was one of the last Western nations to ship arms to Ukraine. And there is no domestic discussion of further shipments. None! In particular, of shipments that could make a real difference on the ground.

This sort of catering involves:.- making appeals to #Russia which are useless on the ground but reach a domestic audience.- applauding moral actions by others (Russian TV produces holding up a sign, etc.).- taking some of the "pain" off domestic voters by subsidizing fuel.

Bei den Ausschreibungen für Windenergie an Land wurden im 1. Halbjahr 2023 fast so viele Zuschläge erteilt wie jeweils in den beiden Jahren davor. Und auch bei den Genehmigungen geht es mit mehr Tempo voran.📑 7/11

I started a new weekly podcast "The Week that Was in Europe" with Dirk Schumacher (Head of European Macro Research, Natixis):. It's still a bit rough, but contains interesting ideas. We'll learn to smooth it with future editions. Feedback welcome!.

If he (the parliamentary leader of German #SPD) not a Russian asset then who is…?. „We need to find balance between the right to self-defense [of 🇺🇦] and….etc.“ . „Need diplomatic offensives….“.

#Germany needs to stop blocking #Nato arms shipments to #Ukraine. Ukraine is under the imminent threat of invasion by a hostile neighbor and strategies that seek to appease #Russia will not work.

These numbers illustrate the low priority given to research in Europe. Europe will fall further behind other major blocks in major research areas, unless we start to invest WAY MORE.

➡️ MS debt levels depend on institutional factors and on how they dealt with the European debt crisis. Debt heterogeneity is large and likely to continue to increase.➡️Debt reduction is always desirable as it results in risk reduction. 🗣️@klaus_adam

Großartig: Es herrscht Krieg in Europa, aber Herr Stegner möchte die europäische Friedensordnung nicht zerstören. Das ist die Art Haltung, die Putins Handeln ermöglicht.

Militärisch lassen sich Probleme nicht lösen. Eine neue Eiszeit mit Krieg+ Wettrüsten würde nicht nur europäische Friedensordnung zerstören, sondern auch Ressourcen kosten, die wir für riesige Herausforderungen bei Klimaschutz, Infrastruktur, globalen Problemen dringend brauchen.

Auf die Beiträge anderer europäischer Staaten zu warten macht keinen Sinn für 🇩🇪: Die anderen großen Staaten ( 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 ) haben keinerlei Spielraum im Budget und die Kleinen sind zu klein. Endlich German Leadership!.

Jetzt haben wir de facto ein Gas-Embargo (von russischer Seite) aber es keinen strategischen Wert für 🇩🇪, da Russland in den Einnahmen des 1. Halbjahrs geradezu schwimmt.

Mit dem neuen #wisszeitvg wird Arbeiten in der #Wissenschaft attraktiver. Gut für den Wissenschaftsstandort! Erstmals #Mindestvertragslaufzeiten – egal ob studentische Mitarbeitende, Doktorand oder promovierte Wissenschaftlerin. Mehr #Tarifverträge statt #Tarifsperre. @spdbt.
