It's not "the Macron way". Other European governments have been doing the same. Hell, Germany killed BioNtec, and the UK killed the department that developed the first Covid vaccine...

    Theyโ€™re all worried they have to pay for their own militaries now and moving the budget around to reflect that. Germany doesnโ€™t believe Western Europe is safe from Russia. Not being able to subsidize nearly your entire military because the US has โ€œgot you coveredโ€ is a big budget issue

    Nope. Lindner was cutting scientific budgets long before agent orange took power, and so was Wilders. And the EU.

    Because they're anti-science right wing bastards (or, in the case of the EU, have way too many right wing bastards in parliament).
