Former NATO chair Bauer warns, if Europe is "completely dependent" on China for "all the raw materials for renewable energy" and Xi "closes the valve of those raw materials, we will not have light, no heating, we will not drive and we will have no production at all."
What happens when the Chinese win the tariff war against the US and then decide to ignore European sanctions on Iran?
Is Europe going to sanction China? Or will they let it go ahead? If they ignore it, do sanctions mean anything?
If China can trade with sanctioned countries, why shouldn't Balkan countries trade with sanctioned countries?

โWhy does the US block fighter jet sales to Turkey but invite Turkish drones?
โก๏ธ The US blocks Turkey from buying advanced fighter jets and spare parts (like the F-35) due to NATO security concerns and Ankaraโs close ties with Russia.
โก๏ธ However, Washington welcomes Turkish drone maker Baykar to open a factory in America because drone tech is considered less sensitive and it allows better oversight and integration.
โก๏ธ This way, US authorities keep control while still benefiting from Baykarโs proven technology.
