Oh and one more thing: since Hybrid Warfare is a thing, calls for more military should always be paired with calls for active measure against disinformation campaigns. I hope our dear politicians will soon wake up from their pre-internet slumber.

They very much have. Of the new 5% spending target for NATO, 1.5% is reserved for investments in defense-related infrastructure, including cybersecurity.

You'd be surpised by how many countries do not have a lead paint ban. Though China is one of them that does.

Nah, they properly strike. The transporation company might try to get some replacements and shift around bus drivers that aren't striking, but it usually means no or greatly reduced service.

Eg basic infrastructure workers (workers, bus drivers, etc)

Bus drivers strike all the time.

But wouldn't flying to Mallorca be going towards the heat (from most of Europe)?

Why would they need more airco when many houses and apartments still don’t even have proper shutters for windows and many people still don’t know you should keep your windows closed during peak heat hours

I'm doing all of that have have good insulation, ground floor. Doesn't help when the temperature never drops below 20°C for a week (and I literally got up at 5:00 when it was coldest to air out my flat).

So yeah, I'm getting an AC this summer.

The airframes are at the end of their life, Germany is getting F-35s specifically to replace the ageing Tornados as well.

As I said, there are some concerns, but no, there is no out-right "kill switch" or any remote control capability.

Really the biggest risk is the US withholding future software updates for a while, forcing operators to implement their own software packages for those the US will no longer provide updates for.
