The Trump can not unsend Storm Shadows and SCAPLs though ;)

OK!
Wow i would not have thought it possible. Hopefully this will inspire the rest of NATO to follow suit.

Edit: Storm Shadow / SCALP are go as well!!!

Most likely launcher would be Gripen. So this kinda depends on Sweden more than on Germany. Though the signals i saw coming from Sweden are that they would be willing to give Ukraine what they need, including fighter jets, provided that NATO takes up the slack in air defence in Sweden.

That is not only not right; it is not even wrong

Many classical email clients have the option to edit the senders address while composing the email. If the mail server does not allow this you usually get an error message on sending.

You are technically correct in saying that it's not a registration. Instead it's a sponsoring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponsored_top-level_domain

senders can only be easily forged if you control the senders mail server or if they don't use best practices for running a mail server.
See also:

there are cryptographic signatures on almost all mails sent by large mail providers these days, which makes it very hard to just forge an email that will hold up to closer examination with the help of the provider. so basically the IT techs of the company would need to be on board with whatever the perpetrator is doing, for them to get away with it.

The situation isn't that different in Germany: emails can be used as evidence in court, though they aren't as strong as evidence as say: a signed letter. There is also the issue with proving that an email actually arrived, but i would assume that in this case that is already covered.

Trying to remember what i learned in history here, i hope i get at least most of it right:

  • the political institutions of the Weimar republic were not as balanced and protected from interference as in other democracies
  • many parties were against the existence of the Weimar Republic
  • they differed a little in what they wanted instead though, ranging from reintroducing the monarchy with a few republican elements, to full fledged socialism
  • the difference between the parties made finding compromises very difficult and often resulted in stalemates in the legislative, because of missing checks this did not affect the executive as much though
  • especially the monarchists liked the idea of heaving a leader that can overrule the parliament if needed and so it was easy for Hitler to get them to agree that they would all be better off with him breaking the stalemate so to speak. So they formed a coalition
  • see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harzburg_Front
  • Those parties also had no qualms with banning other parties just because they disagreed on something, which Hitler was very happy to do, starting with the communists and ending with a complete ban on forming political parties after every serious contender was eliminated

Do you know how many parties had members in the parliament of the Weimar Republic when Hitler was named Chancellor?
I learned in school – not sure if this part is entirely accurate but its an interesting idea anyway – that this situation was precisely why there is a ~5% of votes, lower barrier for parties sending representatives in many modern European democracies.
