This article is bad. Some things are false (like nearly everything said about Europe’s weapons dependance on American firms), some things are unproven (like the nord stream) and some things are unimportant (like Russian constitution being more democratic than European ones). Addressing the defense issue without saying that they do not agree on many geopolitical issues will not help the reader to understand. Furthermore, France is military independent and more desindustrialized than Germany. How so ?
PS: It could also be interesting to talk about Switzerland
What assets are not risky ? All assets are more or less risky. I think you are asking two different questions. What level of risk should take pension fund ? And who should bear the risk ? In France, they tried to solve this issue by investing as little as possible and giving cotisations of the workers to retired people. The risk is minimal but they did not profit from the rise of shares’ values. An interesing way to get answers to your question is to look who is currentely bearing the risk for pension funds and how retirement systems work in different countries
Yes. Now I even use an anonaddy mail adress for Facebook and never had any issue. I created my account with a gmail account long ago though
