The absolute legend of a man as he is, he gets cash, gifts, and letters galore sent to him in prison. He knows he's achieved complete victory. I'm sure he's kept well abreast of the fallout as it continues. https://www.thedailybeast.com/shinzo-abe-assassin-tetsuya-yamagami-gets-worshipped-as-a-god-in-japan

Mainly because the euro is not the global reserve currency and they can't just do tax breaks for everybody. They don't even have a real central bank, they're at the mercy of Germany for large euro monetary policy. France is the only major power in the EU that wants to develop European strategic autonomy from NATO/America, and they need military spending to do it. Plus it's good for French industry, as France is like the only country in the West that produces weapons instead of just buying from the Americans.

Nah, not in the same way anyway. France economically is actually a brightspot in the EU. They get most of their power from their nuclear plants, so they've been relatively unaffected by no Russian gas. Macron's government is just deeply unpopular, still reeling from the mass protests around raising the retirement age, and desperately trying to appeal to a population increasingly sympathetic to the fascist far right.

Too busy with problems at home. He just sacked his Prime Minister and replaced them with a young twink (Gabriel Attal) in the hopes that this will distract the French people from their own problems.

Imagine thinking some airstrikes can stop this. The courage of Yemen will be remembered for millenia.

The Allies were really insistent that Prussia be eliminated once and for all. What better way than make it a Jewish state?

Overcoats are plentiful at thrift stores, you can easily find a massive high quality wool coat for like $100, likewise with sweaters. You only need one sweater; so long as it's a good wool. You can even find fantastic new sweaters for like $150 that'll keep you well warm. That's like $250 and you're set for a decade+ of warmth and fashion.

Nah, there's a third gender: girl who is most fashionable in winter. Throw on a long overcoat that moves like a cape whilst walking, a massive drapey sweater, billowing pants with long wool underwear and knee-high wool socks, massive boots for stomping on your enemies, an insane scarf capable of lassoing a horse, make all this in black, you've got warmth and elegance.
