    “deserts”
    That wording in this context implies the German army owed loyalty to X.

      Yes it’s a bit weird isn’t it.

      Politico seems to be treading more and more into sensationalist titles. Disappointing…

        Politico is owned by the German Axel Springer publishing corporation, which runs a bunch of right wing papers, mostly tabloids, like the infamous Bild.

          Yeah I’m aware of that. Axel Springer runs the paper that published the infamous Musk op-ed.

          Generally though (despite an obvious current western neoliberal order bias) Politico has been decent in the past (outside of opinion pieces), as a sort of basic way to get general facts, but I fear their quality is declining. I’m personally gradually replacing them with EURACTIV and RFI in my reading habits.

    It’s not “Berlin vs. Musk”, it’s “tech bros vs. regulation” - they support Trump, want to destabilize the EU, all so they can continue their exploitative businesses.

      Rather than move to Bluesky, a favored alternative to Musk’s X for many, the defense ministry said it will continue to stream videos and content on Instagram, YouTube and through a WhatsApp channel instead.
