The quality of intelligence gathered by the drone is insane. The guy is playing dead, not moving, wearing sunglasses. When thinking about satellite images, aircraft taking pictures or binoculars, other lenses and cameras with high zoom, this would work.
But the drone zooms in and between hat and sunglasses, we see the eyes looking right up, we see the wink and the chest moving from breathing.
Or I did just web search for 2024 and there are indeed 'European Parliament election in France' as a result.
But you probably understood very well what was saying and why I was writing it. Do you have an explanation for his behaviour?
Are there elections coming in France?
We are hearing big words from Macron over and over in the last few weeks to support Ukraine - yet France is far behind when in comes to supporting Ukraine financially or with military equipment. And please don't bring that Reddit meme 'France is doing everything secretly and nobody knows about it'. Democratic financing in billions of Euros is public and not a high toilet paper bill like in Hollywood movies from the 80s. There is of course a lot of proportionate support by France within the EU-assistance, as France is a big economy and paying into the EU budget. It's a similar situation with Italy, as they are another big economy within the EU. Both EU 'power houses' are far behind when it comes to direct support for Ukraine.
Macron has been telling us just last week, that the local EU arms industry needs more orders to enable low and competitive prices. He also told us support for Ukraine should only receive subsidies for EU-made products. And last week we saw statistics that the arm industry/exports from the USA and France profited the most from the Russian invasion in Ukraine, as everyone is getting their military up to date and ordering a lot. So everything plays in his hands and France is reaping in big profits and getting support for its huge arms industry. Yet, the country is far behind in supporting Ukraine and Macron keeps calling other countries to support Ukraine more - or here that 'Europe will lose all credibility'.
What is going on here? Elections?
I like the zeppelin idea, btw.
That is really a good idea indeed!
As the plane seems not to solve the current problem at all. Large blades can already be transported via river barge close to the onshore locations. Or via road, as long as those are wide and straight enough. The problem are the last few kilometres narrow roads through protected forest, along small creeks, up the mountains etc. Alternatively to building a runway in such a remote location, one could also build a wider road. It would impact nature, protection laws and residents in similar ways and completely avoid new problems coming with the plane idea.
A Zeppelin on the other hand could skip the part with a huge runway or wide road completely and just hover over the location and lower the payload, like a helicopter. I have no clue if that is doable from weight, wind influence etc, but the idea seems way smarter than a large aircraft requiring a huge runway.
It's probably meant as distinction from other sectors with Methane emissions, e.g. agriculture, transport, chemical industry...
It's not that they now changed something with data collection and sharing within the update. They always did it, all services free of charge do it and most that cost money likely take the extra money as well.
It's now that they tell you in a short and informative way (1st sentence) and ask for your consent.
What's really infuriating, are websites and services that have an "Accept All" button but no "Reject All". Instead you have to manage individually and sometimes I have to flip 30 separate buttons to disable data sharing, where they even call advertisers a 'necessary 3rd party' requiring interaction on top.
I tried but it's not playing.
On loading the website, the browser shows a top bar that I must enable DRM copy protection to use some elements on this website. A bottom bar shows that I should make an account and I don't even need a credit card. Just hitting play doesn't play it but shows an overlay that the media cannot be played. No reason given so probably DRM and/or account required.
Allein schon die geplante Elektrizitätsversorgung. Geplant waren 25 GW neue Gaskraftwerke, die später auf Wasserstoff umgestellt werden. Als Ersatz für Kohle, später Gas. Es sind weniger als 25 GW geworden aber dennoch wird Wasserstoff und Infrastruktur in nationalem Ausmaß geplant.
It's odd to see such an article on Euronews, who are usually very reliable on their reporting. Here we have a mix of different things, mainly existing in the media sphere but less in reality.
Leaked recordings – That's the resort of Mr. Pistorius, the Minister of Defence. But even blaming Mr. Pistorius is a bit far fetched, as it was one officer on a trip in Asia not following any safety code by joining a secret online meeting via public wifi and his private phone. Mr. Pistorius already explained the case in the last days. So the blame should go to that person ignoring the safety protocol or their IT service company for failing to instruct properly. Nothing to do with Scholz at all, but some tabloids of course print those baseless calls from opposition politicians. I just don't get why Euronews would publish that.
loose-lipped press conferences – Completely made up 'scandal' about Scholz indicating why Taurus cruise missiles cannot be delivered to Ukraine. He didn't even directly say it, but it was a media interpretation, that France and the UK provide geodata for their missiles and the UK has personnel in Ukraine. And on top, that information was already in the news in October 2023. Everyone knows it, it's public for half a year. I feel like waking up in a parallel universe, where made up stories and the norm. It was publicly known and he didn't even say it, yet he gets blamed for leaking secrets.
confused policy – Since the beginning, Scholz was against sending Taurus, like very other country asked about 500km missiles as well. He never changed his stance. The article also doesn't go into detail what would be confused about his policy.
Yet, it's getting mentioned what threats Russia is throwing against Germany by supporting Ukraine further. I looked up the writer and it's a British journalist at BBC radio. This article sounds more like a rant on Sun on Dailymail and is not up to the standard that I know from Euronews.
This whole topic about the Taurus cruise missiles feels like a bad act anyway, as no country provided 500 km missiles. Every country said no. And no means no. Unless it's Germany, then the questions comes again and again and again and fingers pointing at Scholz for standing with the same policy as always and as every other country in the world: no 500km missiles.
I think the article only mentions the prices in the Google store, which are way more expensive than other shops. The Pixel 8 128GB is currently available at 550€.
So the Pixel 8a at 570€ would be the more expensive model.
It's all exciting action to record with the phone, until a ship explodes and reality kicks in.
There was an article yesterday explaining that the frozen account belongs to an organisation that funds other organisations. One of those is accused of supporting/funding terrorism. So at the end, the bank has no choice and nothing to decide on their own, once they get knowledge of this accused connection. Otherwise they would to get dragged into the case as well and prosecution against them could be opened. Which is why they froze the bank account for now and sent a questionnaire about the organisation and their members to evaluate the situation. That is all, nothing was seized, the title is a lie.
