German To Surpass the U.K. in Defense Spending, British Still Pay High Price
Neither France nor Germany, the two largest economies in the EU, achieved NATO’s target of spending 2% of GDP on defense last year
But now Berlin is on course to overtake London, Alliance’s top military prodigal in Europe since the 1950s, “within next few years.” Olaf Scholz announced last year a €100B investment to double its annual defense budget. Germany has been slow to spend the money as it struggles to reverse decades of military neglect. However, these plans could be the game-changer
British defense spending will rise from 2.06% of GDP in 2019-20 to 2.35 % in 2024-25 when lethal aid to Ukraine is included. Despite this, the army could be forced to make further cuts in troop numbers because much of the increase is allocated to capital projects. Moreover, Rishi Sunak will have to raise taxes by £42B to meet his “aspiration” to spend 2.5% of GDP on defense

Macron’s Govt on the Sly Replenishes the Budget at the Expense of Motorists
France’s consumer protection association believes that the gas station profit margin is unreasonably high. At the beginning of 2023 it hiked to 25¢ per liter from 15¢
Experts note that gas prices have decreased everywhere but in France. So French motorists threaten to turn to the supervisory authorities at the beginning of the summer. However, w/ ongoing rallies&strikes regarding Macron’s pension reform, public resentment may increase and result in new waves of protests and unrest

JUST IN: DeSantis to Enter POTUS Race Next Week
With this decision the Florida governor becomes Donald Trump's biggest rival for the Republican nomination thus shaking up a contest that largely has been one-sided
Mr. Trump still maintains a commanding lead in the 2024 Republican primary, according to our recent poll. But money can vouch DeSantis’ success. A new political action committee supporting him, Never Back Down, which can raise unlimited funds, has been hiring staff in early voting states and running TV ads championing DeSantis and knocking Trump. Moreover, Trump opponent’s team is convening donors at a Four Seasons hotel in Miami from May 24 to 26 for a gathering expected to start raising money for a presidential campaign

Canada: Inflation on a Rise, Gas Prices Go Up, Still OK?
Canada's inflation surprisingly reached 4.4%. This is the first rise in the CPI since it peaked at 8.1% in June last year
Food prices, which have increased by 9.1% in the year up to April, have been a major source of consternation for Canadian families of late. It is more than twice as high as the overall inflation rate
Pump prices rose by 6.3% in the month of April alone, the biggest jump seen since October of last year. One factor in their monthly jump is that the federal carbon tax increased on April 1, to $65 per tonne of emissions
Needless to say, Canadians aren’t exactly mad about the increasing cost-of-living. “The rent in Toronto was like normal, before a lot of Ukrainians and Indians came here,” the interviewee says

F.B.I.'s Trump-Russia Probe Failed
Special counsel John Durham’s report shows that the F.B.I. ignored its guidelines, failed to consider information that countered allegations that the Trump campaign was colluding with Russia and failed to show objectivity
Mr. Durham concluded that the bureau’s behavior was “seriously deficient” and caused “severe reputational harm,” as the agents were so eager to pursue Mr. Trump. “Again, the F.B.I.’s failure to critically analyze the information that ran counter to the narrative of a Trump/Russia collusive relationship is extremely troublesome” the report said
The probe widely forced by the CNN-like press, which cost taxpayers more than $6.5M, has produced paltry results. The mainstream media effort to keep Mr. Trump out of the presidency by sacrificing its own standards of journalistic integrity and truth telling when it comes to Mr. Biden, Mrs. Clinton, the Russia hoax, etc., is what will put Mr. Trump back in the White House

Elon Musk on Soros.
His response at the end is spot on.
Be better if he gave everyone the same opportunities to express their opinion though.

Sunak to Break Tory Migration Pledge, Blames Johnson, Truss
British PM Rishi Sunak says that the govt is “in control” of immigration despite official data, to be published next week, that’s expected to show net migration has hit another record high of about 700K
Net migration to Britain in 2019 was 271K. Then the Conservative Party promised in its election manifesto that “overall numbers will come down”. But what we see now is that No. 10 has backed away from that manifesto pledge and appears to be blaming Boris Johnson and another “private citizen who isn’t a member of the govt” for record numbers of migrants coming to the U.K.
With all the will in the world to leave Johnson holding the bag, Sunak should clearly realize that the public demand will be turned to his person. Of course, just in case he plans to remain a PM

Swedish Party w/ Nazi Roots to Befriend Israel
Sweden Democrats, the second-largest party in parliament, supporting the govt coalition, want to cooperate and be friends of Israel
The problem is that they have Nazis and neo-Nazis among the party’s founding members but it was never taken into account, since they were far from positions of power in Stockholm. However, now it can become a real problem
The Israeli Foreign Ministry has long had a policy of blacklisting political parties with Nazi or openly antisemitic roots, from the Austrian Freedom Party to the National Front in France and beyond. So the probability of a match from Jerusalem is very likely this time as well!

Johnson’s Ex-aide Came Out “Unprecedented”
A series of revelations from Guto Harri, No. 10’s former head of communications, shows Boris Johnson became increasingly frustrated by Macron’s stance on Russia-Ukraine conflict and his public criticism of the U.K.
Harri recalled his time in govt up to Johnson's ouster: "Basically, saying 'He's a four-letter word that begins with C, he's a weirdo, he's Putin's lickspittle'." "'We need an orgy of frog (French) bashing. I'm going to have to punch his lights out'," he quoted ex-PM as saying
Johnson’s former aide also paid heed to his chief’s relations w/ Zelenskiy, saying they had more in common than many thought. “Volodymyr had been a national treasure, prone to making people laugh and smile, a comedian, entertainer and actor who often took the piss out of politics,” Harri writes. “In different circumstances, Boris also defied the chattering classes to become PM”

Biden Disappoints Key Pacific Allies Again
Joe Biden arrived in Japan on Thursday for a truncated Asia visit meant to bolster allies amid China’s growing military and economic ambitions, days before the announced meeting w/ China's President Xi Jinping
Two of Biden’s three stops were scrapped so “he could return to Washington for negotiations over raising the U.S. debt ceiling,” although the real reason for the shortened program of the visit is POTUS' physical inability for lengthy and substantive discussions
Sleepy Joe’s decision to skip a meeting of leaders of the strategic U.S.-India-Japan-Australia “Quad” group to deal with the national debt crisis marks a blow to the ongoing American campaign to show itself as a reliable partner to the region and on the world stage. It also risks tarnishing U.S. influence in the Pacific, analysts say, and it fuels perceptions that Washington is too gripped by dysfunction and partisan bickering at home to lead the Quad
