A continuation of America First without saying those words. Not that any Dutch government official will ever admit any of it because they were all acting as giddy cheerleaders when Biden got elected. Uncle Joe can do no wrong!

As standard of living and security drop the hard left wing will quickly vote for different politicians.

Inflation is easing despite still no recession.

In contrary the industry seems to slightly improve.

(S+) Teuerung und Rezession: Wenn die Inflation schmerzlos weicht - Kolumne

Lange hieß es, die enormen Preissteigerungen lassen erst nach, wenn die Zentralbank mit hohen Zinsen das Wachstum dämpft. Jetzt sinkt die Inflation, und die Konjunktur erholt sich. Ein Wunder? Oder erzählen die Gelehrten Quatsch?

I got a shipment recently. So it took a year from order to arrival from Spain to NZ. Before ,..and this is only 2 years ago it would be several months. Made from the one million mile supply chain of course. That includes lock down Xi.
Sudden falling exhange rates don't incentivize reordering either. There are many factors why supply still isn't back to normal.

Surprise European manufacturing increase​

Unlike the decrease in orders out of China, trade data analyzed by Project44 indicates that the Europe-to-U.S. route is “one of the possibly most surprising and certainly most significant developments since early 2020,” Brazil said.
“This sharp rise cannot be explained by the pandemic alone. But a strategic shift from over-dependency on trade with China and geopolitical tensions over Russia are the main drivers of the EU-U.S. trade boom,” he said.

The global trading map is being rapidly redrawn, with EU-U.S. trade and investment in U.S. rising sharply as economic ties between the West and China are subjected to critical scrutiny. This year, the U.S. has imported more goods from Europe than China – a big shift from the 2010s, according to Project 44.
“For their part, Europe’s manufacturers battling sky-high energy prices and inflation are increasingly exporting to and investing in the U.S.,” Brazil said.
Germany’s exports to the U.S. were almost 50% higher in September year over year. Germany’s mechanical engineering sector has boosted its exports to the U.S. by almost 20% in a year over year comparison of the first nine months of 2022, according to Project 44.

More cooperation sought with Africa. African partners seem still reserved.

A 10 billion H2 production facility shall be built in Namibia.

Warum Habeck beim Thema Energie auf Afrika setzt

Errr ... When he says "strikes" does he mean the same kind of strikes that Ji-oh Bai Dan openly fantasises about, bombing the enemy country with their own air force? ?

Perp, 69yo, already arrested numerous times.

Previously imprisoned for attacking migrants with a sword back in 2021. Released on December 12, with interdiction to leave the country and, above all, interdiction to own a weapon (on my, gun laws don't work on criminals! Who knew?).

Also arrested and judged back in 2016 and 2017.

Says he has a "pathological hatred of foreigners", though he is not on the DGSI's radars or known for being part of any far-right (existing or dissolved) groups.
