    Re: Lock him up! Former PotUS Trump indicted

    I would be happy to not see Trump on the ticket, even as someone who leans Republican on many issues. One thing I beleive: innocent or guilty, the result will be based on political consequences like...

    Do you have a guide (walkthrough) for this particular feature? I am curious what is available where.

    Not sure if this is a bug or if it is intentional. I have a campaign with Hessen-Kassel. I have noticed some settlements do not allow recruitment even though the proper buildings are built. This is...

    Poll: Re: Russia, US, Ukraine, and the Future

    Finally some good news!



    This is a reaction to the Ukraine crisis, not any direct influence from Trump or Biden in German defense policy. Biden surely takes no credit here.

    Re: The Potential Lab Origin of COVID-19

    What's your source on this? I can see some sort of lab accident. But the intentional release of such a virus from any side, not least the US, does not strike me as believable.

    You are right, there is certainly the risk of that. I think it could go either way. We will see.

    To be fair there is no EU minimum wage. Even if the UK accepted the level playing field requirements wages could still be different in every involved country.

    Exactly.

    I have a hard time understanding why the EU feels the need to meddle in domestic issues when negotiating trade. Its similar with the Brexit trade deal.
