LOL Münster. LOL Germany.
Der Spiegel hat (schon 2023) den Vergleich der deutschen Top-Fahrradstadt Münster mit der internationalen Top-Fahrradstadt gemacht und - Captain Obvious be prepared - der Vergleich ist 2. Liga gegen Championsleague. Allein schon der für Deutschland typische Brückenfail zeigt, wie schlampig hier gearbeitet wird.
Münster ist qualitativ dichter an Stuttgart als an Utrecht.

Indeed.

What the USA is currently doing in Venezuela looks very much like a semi-hostile takeover of one criminal organization by a more powerful one.

If there's any "rationality" it only exists in relation to the interests of shockingly small circles of power, in either country.

Und, wurden die Gasspeicher leer?
