Fellow German here.
Want to point out that I had to attend a minute of silence during school after the terror-attacks of 11.09.2001 ("9/11"). And that was ok. I even remember how a teacher got into Trouble for not wanting to do it because we dont do shit like that when "others then westerners" die.

To me, the official reaction of state and media is and was always a question of who dies.
3000 US citizens - gotta have a minute of silence. Same number of dead people world wide due to landmines? C'mon, thats boring and uninteresting!
1200 Israel citizens- jupp, gotta be all down and sad, flags need to be half-masted. 100k Palestinians, c'mon, they had it coming, deserve it, where hiding terrorists....
To me, everything is bad and sad.
But politicians and media here and elsewhere in the west have it nicely separated. All double-standard bs.

If your girlfriend is not fluent in french, I wouldnt go there if I was you.
Depending on your profession you could consider the UK or Ireland - or the Netherlands (or even Sweden, Norway) or larger cities in Austria or Germany. In either of these places you will get around with English until you picked up enough of the native language and then, people will still talk english with you.

So, if it is from Belgium, might it be in Flemish Language and not dutch?
Just asking for a friend.

Yeah, I get that this is important to certain people...and that writing better image descriptions leads to better inclusion.
On the other hand, at times it is not really helpful to come around like a snobby-bossy know-it-all that tells people how they are so wrong with what they do...

I still have not made up my mind....
Is all of this because all of them are incredibly stupid OR is this by design, is all of this intentional.

Sometimes I am completely at awe how bad politicians are in playing chess. Look at Merz, for example.

He could have said "yeah, you know, we are in a coalition with the SPD, they were always against sending Taurus. So, we benched the topic until a later time, as we need to solve issues at hand, getting the government startet and all."
People would have been fine. That would be believable.
But then, he could have send a few dozend of the Taurus anyhow. Let the Ukraine plan a one time big attack on multiple important targets. Have them do it.
And then, when it becomes clear that it had been Taurus the were used, and Merz got asked why he "lied" or didn't say, he could have gone like "oh swell, Putin is fucking lying every day. Grow up, guys, this is a war and i wont explain my plans to you beforehand. Next question?"

But nu-uh. Everything gets spoilered months before anything might happen. Russia knows, prepares accordingly.

Loosers.

Checked all products i regularly buy on who "the real owner" is and ditched every brand that is US owned for a european one.
Currently trying to get Linux Mint to run on a notebook; once this works, i will switch the os on my gaming pc to a linux as well and afterwards teach my mom (76) how to use Mint on her pc.

Well, BRICS is not a US-Fanboy-Club. So, not new and not a surprise?

I'd say we have more repetitions of this Headline than fentanyl seizures at the border so far this year.
