All correct, except this is not a trade war. While there might not have been an trade economic rationale (I’d dispute even that), this is all in accordance with negotiation theory.

Trump's trade war probably qualifies as the greatest madness in economic policy in a developed country after WWII:.1. All decisions are made by one single person (Trump). 2. No principles are applied. 3. No economic rationale or theory. 4. All is based on Trump's emotions. /1.

There’s that anecdote of a UK politician visiting Japan for the first time. Standing in the middle of the neonlights in Shinjuku proclaimed “If this is stagflation, I want one”. This is exactly the vibe you get, from Paris to Stockholm. Don’t confuse wealth and growth.

Considering that Europe’s century of humiliation probably began in 1945, we ought to be out of that century in just a couple of decades in that failing analogy. Jokes aside, we’ve trudged through a “lost decade” at most. Relative decline in extreme wealth can be wonderful.

Europe heading towards a century of humiliation: . “European elites are increasingly murmuring about the threat of a “century of humiliation” for Europe… What undid China’s Qing Dynasty, was a self-defeating complacency as institutions and innovations that had worked in the past.

Historical analogies are fraught with complications, and here’s a good one. “In 1944, would you have trusted a journalist who signed a petition that the Allies’ bombing of German civilians was genocide?”.

Skulle ni haft förtroende för journalister som 1944 skrev under ett upprop om att de allierade begick folkmord på tyska civila genom bombkampanjerna mot Tyskland?.

Expansion fell for a similar trick last year when Telefonica swapped Huawei UP B2B 5G SA core, not realising Huawei remains the main provider in UP B2C 5G SA and NSA cores. Dishonest? Well, who can blame Telefonica.

Industry consensus = Reuters got played by a govt attempt to distract from the wiretap scandal. There is no Spain exit for Huawei—Telefónica just signed a fresh Huawei billing system deal TODAY. Germany? A token tweak to comply with last year’s ”voluntary agreement”.

Withdrawing EU trade preferences may have an impact: shave off as much as 1-2% of Israel’s GDP. However, a nation united in fight for its existence rarely look at GDP numbers. It won’t amount to any pressure, broaden support for Netanyahu and incentivise Israel to go harder.

Whether you support Israel or the other side, one can unequivocally conclude that withdrawing research funding that Israel barely use amounts to zero pressure. The question is whether that is by design or inability.

🚨Shocking scenes from Gaza: children ravaged by famine and malnutrition — thin bodies, eyes searching for life, and at any moment, they may be added to the list of the dead. Baby Judy Al-Arouri is wasting away from hunger. She’s not even six months old.

My hate for @U2 is well-known, but“Miss Sarajevo” is the most beautiful and important pop song ever recorded. Back in 1995, Bosnian women organised a beauty pageant to plead to the international community: “please don’t let them kill us”.

Measuring defence spending as a percentage of GDP is the best deception tool that military contractors have ever invented.

China Mobile just allocated 400.000 new 5G sites (roughly 10% of total national rollout). This allocation alone (for one operator) is almost 10x the number of sites in all of Germany. Surprisingly high share given to EU vendors, roughly 20%.

Look tomorrow at the vast catalogue of unprecedented deliverables between the EU and Japan. Compare them to the EU-China commemorative summit the day after, in dire straits despite its grand promises. There's a lesson of historical importance here.
