You think Germany has been so soft on Erdogan and blocking sanctions against Turkey in the EU just for fun? You can hate on Germany as much as you want, but Germany has always been supportive of Turkey. Olaf Scholz the new chancellor, probably even more so than Merkel.

Please focus on the topic and not on what some lobbiests are saying.

Just my 2cents, not on Egypt, but in general: Developing these products is an expensive endeavour, especially for a rather small country (compared to the giant economies of US, China etc). We can and absolutely should sell our products where it is not against our interests. Whether we sell a...

Turkey among 4 nations with high offshore wind energy potential: GWEC https://www.dailysabah.com/business/energy/turkey-among-4-nations-with-high-offshore-wind-energy-potential-gwec https://gwec.net/global-wind-report-2022/ But still no tenders.

The main target in Syria is not Assad, not saying he's the good guy but Assad knows his place. We could turn up the heat for YPG again, but I guess thats off the table right now because the economy is in shambles and the government is trying to cozy up to the Americans.

Germany highly values logistics.

Germany wouldn't dare to not allow it. We're talking about Germany, which is very much very deep in the US pocket. Whether that's the Americans using Ramstein to transport illegally kidnapped people to black sites or Guantanamo or Americans spying on Germany in Germany.

Good first step for long distance travel along the motorways probably.

Don't have the link right now but Reuters reports that Iran bombed among other things a building of the Israelis in the US embassy in Iraq and the home of a Kurdish businessmen because Turkey, Iraq and Israel are working on getting Iraqi gas to Turkey and Europe.

The last thing Syria needs or the world is another Urban battle that will cause destruction to a city that has slowly been brought back to life. Tel Rifaat, Manbij are good enough and actually serve our interests.

@Nilgiri no chance that Schröder would be sanctioned by Germany, but he has really damaged himself and his legacy. No coming back from that. He managed to even turn the last member of SPD, his party, against him. If anything, I can see the US put him on a sanction list because the other...

a) UAE losing interest in Greece because the East Med pipeline is not happening or b) not participating because they are trying to warm up the ties with Turkey or c) both

Time's ticking.

Have you seen how some people talk in here? I could understand the sentiment, but I doubt that its generally speaking like how you described it.

Cord extension out of the windows will take approx. 24h to load your car (Tesla Model 3 for example) it's not feasible nor practical. Germany has a decent network already but there are still black spots, i.e. when I drive to a smaller village I might have to take a detour of 10-20km to charge it...

Yes you can, democracy has its limits and you can choose to let people call for violence, hate speech and to conspire / uprising against the government (US-style) or you can have clear boundaries. There are many shades of democracy.
