The invisible plastic threat you can finally see #environment
24 years ago today, America fell.
It took a while to finish happening, but in the end, bin Ladin won.
Not because of the attack itself. But because of our reaction. It galvanized all the wrong people: Nationalists, neocons, Christian fundamentalists hell bent on starting religious wars... All had been working to grow for years, but the attack kicked the all into high gear.
bin Ladin didn't destroy America. He made Americans destroy America.
The question is, can we…

Wenn die Chinesen Russland als starke Kraft im Norden schwächen wollen, brauchen sie einfach nur diesen Krieg maximal lange am Laufen zu halten. Sie schlagen so mehrere Fliegen mit einer Klappe:
- RU wird auf sehr lange Zeit keinerlei Gefahr im Norden sein
- Man kriegt billiges Öl, bald sogar durch eine Pipeline, das RU dringender verkaufen als China es kaufen muss
- RU wird massiv abhängig von Chinas Wohlwollen
Und das alles nur wegen Vladimirs Großmachtträumen.

A large number of the generation before mine in my extended family were murdered in fascist Nazi death camps.
My mother lives in a facility along with at least one person who has a number tattooed onto her arm.

Maybe I am just a naïve European and I just don’t get the process of a government shutdown in the USA. But I must say that I simply do not understand the approach whereby, in the event of disagreement, the state (the richest state in the world!!!) can cease its basic functions and not pay salaries.
