1. Gas/Diesel car ban in Germany for 2035.
I'm going to predict that the coalition gov't of Germany convinces the EU to backtrack and lose the ban by spring of 2027....out of fear of market-loss. The car companies grumbling over investment into E-technology? Eventually, they will be given (I believe)....some tax credit (into the hundreds of millions each) to settle the mess.
2. Trump/BBC Scandal.
I'm going to predict that the BBC very shortly....will agree they screwed up (already firing two chiefs), get Trump to some amount (probably in the $25-to-$50 million range), and then have to admit that over a period from 2016 to now....they created x-number of false stories, and released them to various public TV networks in Europe. This gets them off the hook, with Brits grumbling how they paid the TV tax....which got to be Trump money.
Now....if you were wondering....does this end the scandal? Well....no....Trump could then go after the European networks, and run the same gimmick...forcing them to admit things, fire folks, and pay some 'tribute' again.
Eventually, they will all agree....staying off any topic involving Trump is the best solution.
3. Finally, on the conscription/draft issue....I'm predicting by 2030....90-percent of German youth (say age 17 to 19)....will serve some 6-month 'boot-camp' and training program, and go on some reserve status for the rest of their lives.
