They use high flying satelites that stay in a fixed orbit for a very long time.
On the other hand, starlink satelites fly in low orbit where there is enough air that they are dragged down and must be replaced. This is expensive and only possible because SpaceX made rocket launches significantly cheaper.
The advantage of the low orbit is the low latency which makes it possible to steer drones.
Gerade diese Denkweise stellt ja Tusks Kommentar in Frage.
The point is having a common language and thus economic and cultural advantages. English is a secondary language for most people. In the US, it’s probably replaced with Spanish.
With Arabic, you have many more primary language speakers. Thanks to immigration, the transition to Arabic can be made easy. Then it’s possible to sell products in one packaging from Portugal to India.
I am not arguing that this should happen. It’s just an opportunity that is not obvious because Arabic is not a traditional European language. Though I would assume that there are now more Arabic than Basque speakers.
The point of speaking Arabic would be to have the same language as North Africa and Arabia. And once Europe speaks Arabic, neighboring countries like Turkye, Iran or Pakistan and India could see the benefit in joining.
This doesn’t mean that those countries become part of the EU. It would just create a huge zone with a single language which has its own advantages.
It depends on what Europe wants to be. The language is in some ways connected to the culture. Would Europe get a more Mediterranean savoir vivre if everybody spoke Spanish or French? I think so.
An ambitious and interesting option for Europe could be Arabic as the lingua franca. If Europe commits, other countries like Iran or India could also be interested in joining. That could create a huge area with a single language as long as it doesn’t splinter into dialects like the current Arabic.

dass die US-Armee unter Trump die IT-Systeme des Jets jederzeit abstellen kann.
Als wenn sie das vorher nicht gekonnt hätten.
Was ist die tatsächliche Bedrohungslage? Laut Tusk ist die Gefahr durch Russland nicht so gross. Hat man die Jets bestellt weil man sie braucht oder weil man das Handelsdefizit mit den USA ausgleichen wollte?
Schon mal versucht, die Fliehkraft zu nutzen?
Die zuhe Flasche mehrmals schnell mit ausgestrecktem Arm von oben nach unten vor dem Koerper schwingen. Dabei die Flasche so halten, dass der Verschluss nach aussen zeigt.
Wenn er doch nur anhand einer ehemaligen Behörde zeugen könnte, wie man radikal für Produktivität und Innovation bei staatlichen Institutionen sorgen könnte …
As a map some days ago showed, Canada, Greenland, Panama, probably Israel, maybe even Ukrain - it’s all about shipping lanes.
All that effort makes sense if there is the believe that global trade will increase and that the USA will still be relevant when the center of the global population is in Asia.
So extinction is not the goal but could be an accepted risk.
Sind Deutschland und die Verbündeten schwächer als Russland?
Unnötige Aufrüstung zwingt ja nur die Gegenseite, ebenfalls aufzurüsten.
