  • Putin can’t beat a single impoverished country, let alone take on EU but if everyone raises their defense spending to 5% they’ll have to buy from American weapons manufacturers, and that’s soon to include snake oil from big tech. 5% target is also good at chipping away at enthusiasm for NATO membership from countries that are fairly safe, like Spain. Trump’s a sleazy businessman, that’s what he’s good at.

    If we were to be really concerned for everyone pulling their own weight within current 2% target we should take a look who includes military pensions as their military expenditure, for example.

    Your requirements are extremely niche, most gamers don’t care about Linux. Maybe they should have an option of a store that doesn’t charge 30% but is Windows only.

    Again, it doesn’t matter if Valve got into a monopoly position fair and square. The moment their monopoly is self perpetuating is the moment we no longer are in a free market where quality and price are main considerations for consumers.
