Netenyahu's approach lost the support of the Israeli voters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Netenyahu's successor was willing to make a ton of concessions for peace: https://www.youtube.com/shorts...
You simply missed the entire (sarcastic) point, as expected of you.
If they're making so much content then if it was any good wouldn't the locals buy it? So why is this law needed?
It seems like at least one of the three claims is untrue:
* That there is lots of local content
* That it is any good
* Or that the law is needed
Perhaps it is just an attempted money grab aimed at foreign companies?
So you're saying it would be ideal if Disney was forced to push streamers specializing in local content out of business and become a local monopoly?
In your hypothetical, lots of families can in fact afford the $23/m, so Stan would still get a lot of business.
In your proposal they're mostly redundant.
How do you "bribe" somebody to buy something from you? Isn't that called a discount?
Third, the US gets tremendous soft power and influence to shape foreign governments' policies in ways that are friendly to US interests.
Europe decided a couple decades ago this was no longer going to be true, and today it is just laughable to say that this deference exists at all.
That's why most Democrats also want Europe to increase their military spending to a self-supportive level.
Obviously there are political differences between how to achieve this goal. But the status quo is no longer sustainable.
Liar liar, pants on fire.
There are definitely limits because of inflation, but if you look at a list of debt to GDP and economic health of different countries, the US doesn't actually have high or unsustainable debt.
Just a spoiler since so many people "forget," in the Budapest Memorandum each country agreed not to attack Ukraine, and agreed that if somebody else did they would raise the issue at the UN Security Council. Nobody offered any security guarantees regarding the behavior of other signatories.
This gave the US enormous economic clout and the ability to issue USD denominated debt at very low interest.
German Euro bonds are cheaper than US bonds, so you better rethink your economic theory (and stop watching youtube).
What the Ukraine war is making clear is that Russia can pretty much ignore European opinion.
That is not clear at all. Russia keeps threatening to nuke UK because they don't ignore European opinion.
We contend that reduced water availability, accompanied by substantially drier conditions, may have led to population dispersal from major Harappan centers, while acknowledging that societal transformation was shaped by a complex interplay of climatic, social, and economic pressures.
Don't conflate the arrogant headline with knowledgeable researchers.
“serious administrative shortcomings [that] threaten the continuity and safeguarding of crucial technological knowledge and capacity on Dutch and European soil,” the government said, with "fears of tech leakage, meaning property and know-how are transferred to China.'

I don't know enough about Dutch law to say much more than that, but I'm sure they had lawyers work it out.
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
