Europe accepted US hegemony, satisfied with the prospect of being henchmen to Empire, without once considering what to do if and when the hegemon ever began to turn on its subordinates. Europe needs a Charles De Gaulle, but first has to cle

Eric Berger is pro NASA and this is less of an analysis of China's space programme and more a critique of Trump's policy against NASA, particularly his appointment of Sean Duffy, who is now seen as a MAGA apparatchik.

Everyone going to raise prices, as tariffs - especially Trump style now-you-see-it-now-you-don't tariffs - inject cost ambiguity in the market. This is the ideal time for sellers to increase their prices not only as hedge against uncer
