The USA – From an Industrial to a Service-Based Economy: Why New Jobs Are Missing
The U.S. lost millions of industrial jobs, but the growing service sector couldn’t replace them. Service jobs tend to be lower-paying, and many lost factory jobs were replaced by these lower-wage positions. Additionally, most new jobs are in low-skilled services, not high-skill jobs. The shareholder-focused capitalism of the 1980s led companies to offshore production and cut jobs to increase profits. Automation has also replaced many industrial jobs, and even if companies return to the U.S., they may not create many new jobs due to high-tech automation.
Donald Trump’s Current Trade Policy: A Plan Hidden in Chaos
Trump’s three-phase strategy aims to reshape the global economic order in favor of the U.S. Initially, tariffs are used as a negotiating tool, followed by reciprocal tariffs to create fairer trade. The long-term goal is a new currency agreement that strengthens the U.S. dollar while allowing for its devaluation. This strategy carries significant risks: if it fails, it could lead to global fragmentation and a diminished role for the U.S. on the world stage.
Donald Trump’s latest tariff move has sent financial markets into turmoil – and now raises serious questions about possible market manipulation and insider trading.
Donald Trump’s tariff policies in April 2025 caused a massive stock market crash, only for the tariffs to be suspended shortly afterward, leading to a sharp market rally. Critics claim that Trump may have manipulated the market for personal gain, with his company TMTG benefiting from a significant stock price surge. There are also concerns about potential insider trading, as Trump’s public post urging investors to “BUY” coincided with his tariff reversal. These events raise serious questions about conflicts of interest, market manipulation, and the abuse of political power for financial advantage.

Scandal in the Oval Office: Trump vs. Zelensky – Is Ukraine Aid Now at Risk?
The recent Oval Office clash raises doubts about continued Ukraine aid. With Trump back in power, Europe must ask: Can it sustain Kyiv without U.S. support? While nations like Germany, France, and Poland send billions in weapons, it’s unclear if that’s enough. Without Washington, ammunition shortages and political fractures loom. If Europe doesn’t step up fast, Russia could gain the upper hand—threatening Europe’s security architecture.
Russian Propaganda and Its Narratives: An Analysis
Russian propaganda aims to sow doubt and discredit Western support for Ukraine. Common narratives claim that Ukraine is a dictatorship, the West orchestrated a coup in 2014, or that Russia is merely defending itself. These claims do not hold up to factual analysis. Ukraine remains a democracy, Russia is the aggressor, and Western sanctions are weakening Moscow’s economy in the long run. Critical source analysis is essential to expose disinformation.
Putin’s Sinister Game: Destabilizing Europe Through Manipulation, Chaos, and Hybrid Warfare
Putin isn’t waging war with tanks but with disinformation, cyberattacks, and political manipulation. His goal: a weak, divided Europe that collapses from within. While the West hesitates, Putin exploits every vulnerability. If Europe doesn’t wake up soon, his vision of a powerless, chaotic EU may become reality.
On a Personal Note – Why I Write?
Why do I write? Because it’s about values, freedom, and exchanging thoughts. I share my experiences and political views not to show off, but to reflect on the world. My values have been shaped by history, travel, and personal experiences. Today, I see freedom and democracy under threat—not just in Russia, but also in the West. Many people are disillusioned, but the alternatives are often worse. I may leave Germany again, but until then, I write to spark discussions. If we don’t defend our values, we risk losing them.
Europe at a Crossroads: Challenges and Opportunities for a Stronger Future
Europe stands at a crossroads: geopolitical tensions, technological shifts, and economic competition threaten its position against powers like the US, China, and India. Internal divisions and bureaucratic inertia hinder necessary reforms.

A new “innovation drive,” energy independence, and democratic modernization are crucial to safeguarding competitiveness. Without bold reforms, Europe risks falling behind and becoming dependent on other powers. Now is the time to act and build a forward-looking vision for the continent’s future.
