Considering that Gadi Eisenkot's political views are pretty similar to Netanyahu, I don't see there much changes coming regardless of election result

$200k in year is quite high salary for intern. Usually such positions come with expection that person is at least bit familiar with the job.

Nothing prevents euro countries to ditch euro and their obligations and adopt another currency. Euro membership prevents doing artificial value changes to get quick gains by cutting people's fortunes to balance country's budget

Spain's work visa schema was somewhat of copy of schema that Italy did couple years ago. https://www.infomigrants.net/en/post/60346/italys-new-flows-decree-stricter-controls-and-expanded-work-visas-for-migrants Main culprit in the Spain's current migrant crissis is Morroco's government. Even though they deny it, whole crisis seems to be organized by them to get Spain to back off from their issue with Algeria and West Sahara

Orban opponent is also right-winger, only difference is that he preffers EU over Russia.

He can just remove US forces from Europe, but armament sales on hold and say that US doesn't participate in any Nato joint operations. And he effectively achieves same thing without needing permission from Congress

The have build 4 land prototypes. They have had issues trying to integrate it to naval vessels electronic systems. Its integration to US Army's system seem to have been delayed as 2024 they were excepting that integration is done in 2025, but it looks that project didn't go forward in 2025.

I just think that Israel is likes to assassinate people so they are willing to lie in order to get support for their action and that let US (Trump, Hegseth and co ) to have attitude that things will go like they went in Venezuela when they decided to participate. As even though they didn't actually change leadership Venezuela, still Venezuela didn't have willingness to fight, which probably led said people to underestimate how conflict with Iran will go. I think they now have realized that what their adviser has said maybe true, but there is little they can do than see conflict to its end

Israel has long history of assassinating leadership of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, even though it has not worked for them in past they still continue to do it. So their assessment isn't that good.

I don't think they were planning to do ground invasion, as they didn't move any ground troops on the area during the months they we moving forces there. They maybe forced to do ground invasion in order to keep strait of Hormuz open, but I think they really believed that if they kill the leadership Iran will just surrender same way as Venezuela did.

Reportedly Kuwait's air defense shot in active aerial combat between US jets and Iranian jets and drones.

There is no organized opposition in Iran and Iran's army and political structure is created to endure war, so regime change is unlikelly. I would guess it is more fear and terror that was goal so that other countries don't dare opposite US. Also it distrupts local politics both in Israel and US. Which allows unpopular moves like giving Oracle access to medicare data and allowance to use X's grok ai to use it as training data.

It was bit sarcastic joke. Last summer I said that I don't believe that US strikes were able to eliminate Iran's nuclear program only ensure that they will seek nuclear weapon

Iran's nuclear program was annihilated last summer according to Trump and co, so interesting to see it again as reason to attack

EU needs stable alliance to ensure that it has efficient ability to respond anywhere in EU. But it is then question of should EU take additional steps to become federation and form its own military or should member states form EU wide defense alliance that works separately from EU. This isn't new question but something that has been talked even before EU was founded. NATO has kept this question as hypothetical for now, but now it looks that EU needs to make its mind on this issue. Although currently separate alliance is option that can be done because EU currently isn't able to change its constitution. Currently NATO can't function without USA, as majority of its command and intelligence structure is in hands of US. So if USA leaves NATO there is anyway need to reform the alliance and how it is structured in such extend that it will be almost new alliance even if it is still called NATO.
