Kohti teollista omavaraisuutta Euroopan komissio on esittänyt uuden säädöksen teollisuuden vauhdittamiseksi, jonka tavoitteena on vahvistaa EU:n teollista omavaraisuutta.

”Teollisuuden vauhdittamissäädöksessä on paljon hyviä elementtejä. On tärkeää ajaa Euroopan oman teollisuuden asemaa ja vähentää haitallisia riippuvuuksia."

”EU ei saa lähteä hakemaan kilpailukykyä työelämän ehtoja heikentämällä", @jaakkoha.bsky.social sanoo.

Yes. But depends on how much gas you use, and maybe even more how big ”gas price” is as an economical and cultural issue.

a picture of a huge, low, heavy cloud of black oil over Tehran

a picture of a huge, low, heavy cloud of black oil over Tehran

This is the cloud of oil currently hovering over Tehran, released when the US bombed the city's oil depots. A stew of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds is raining down into the city right now. 1/2

Tämä ei ollut Ylen uutisissa, koska Saksa on niin eksoottinen maa suomalaisille.

Mutta vihreille tulossa mahdollisesti yllätysvoitto osavaltiovaaleissa.

These are Olena Udovichenko and her son Hordii.

A Russian missile killed them today.

Olena was a teacher in a Kharkiv school, Hordii was a second-grader there.

Last night, Russia killed 11 people in Kharkiv, including Olena and Hordii.
RIP.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

Cowardly American War Criminals

“The Iranian frigate the Dena may not have been armed because it was returning from an international exercise in the Indian Ocean, and the U.S. Navy likely knew it because it was taking part in the same exercise”

Ukraine says Hungary detains Ukrainian bank employees after leaders trade accusations Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha accused Hungary early on ​Friday of detaining seven employees of Ukraine's state savings bank after a fresh exchange of barbs between the two countries' leader...

European Union has been way too soft way too long with Hungary.
This isn’t about Orban or Hungary, but about EU’s inability to act years ago.

NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

Lähi-idän sota uhkaa etenkin kaasua paljon käyttävän Saksan taloutta.
Maassa on muutenkin ollut mm. heikon autoteollisuuden vuoksi matalat tunnelmat.

This is what happens when we start wars over #oil. We would rather not have them, but when we do, we are speeding the transition to #renewables. Oil companies get a short term boom, but the life expectancy of their industry goes down. I expect the war in #Iran to be the same.

Trump Has No Plan for the Iranian People The mere act of bombing Iran will not by itself create a stable regime.

Trump has no strategy to help the Iranian people build a legitimate state—in fact, he’s dismantling tools that could have helped promote civic engagement and build a united opposition in Iran, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues.
