"Gegenüber Mario Voigt berichtet Schnabel, er werde immer häufiger von jüdischen Extremisten auf der Straße angespuckt und tätlich angegriffen. Auch von geschändeten Friedhöfen und zerstörten Jesus-Statuen erzählt Schnabel. "Tod den Christen"– das sei ein Ruf, den er vor dem

Very interesting, especially from a German point of view. One doesn't need to speak of colonies to recognize that the US played, and continues to play, a very dominant role in the politics of both countries since 1945.

Was sagst Du zu dieser Diskussion Christoph Johanssen? Mir kommt die absurd vor. Das Kind hat schlicht die Aufgabenstellung nicht gänzlich erfasst oder ignoriert. In meinen Augen selbsterklärend, dass daraus ein Punktabzug resultiert.

Das Problem an Götz Alys Thesen ist, dass sie offenbar an einigen Stellen im Konflikt mit der vorliegenden Evidenz stehen. Adam Tooze your 20 year old dispute with Götz Aly is currently getting relevant again. German historians like Peter Hoeres are also active in this regard.

This appears to be the crux of the story. In the end, we, as humans, are all equally prone to egocentrism and the ugly consequences that can follow from it. One can only hope that multipolarity is going to function as some sort of international checks and balances.

Dieser Post zeigt eher das Problem, dass Bundestagsabgeordnete wie Prof. Matthias Moosdorf MdB fremde Gedanken als ihre eigenen verkaufen. Der Rest ist, im Großen und Ganzen, eine Beschreibung unbequemer Tatsachen.

What these people don't understand is that a history of conquest and violence surely isn't supporting the argument that Russia isn't European or abnormally prone to war. It just had more area to expand to without running into a peer or near-peer competitor. That's it.

I'd like to challenge Jason Furman on his claim that global inequality has fallen sharply since 2000, largely thanks to hyperglobalization. Most of the decline in global inequality has been driven by the rise of China. Many studies find that global inequality has actually

"Instead, we need to be clear-eyed in identifying those Enlightenment-era ideas that provide protection from the arbitrary exercise of ruling-class power and should be defended". Yes! Sadly, the Left got lost and is keeping to turn in wrong directions, like during Covid.

"It’s possibly for this reason that public support for an end to the war continues to grow along with outrage at every new case of graft by cronies close to Zelensky. But it may also help to explain why he is in no hurry to see the war end." The Ukrainian mess keeps growing.

"EU governments will have to provide bilateral grants or raise new joint debt to fund Ukraine if they are unable to agree to a deal to use frozen Russian assets... Brussels has warned." Have to??? In what world are EU taxpayers obliged to fund Ukraine? on.ft.com/4i4Gcbz

So, the perpetrators were Ukrainians. They fled to Belarus "immediately." In other words, you haven't spoken to them; you haven't arrested anyone. But you already know that it was the Russians who did it. Not terribly believable. Particularly, as you've already been caught lying

Interestingly enough, the Protestant Church in Germany released a document last week which is read by many like a "sharp break" with its "former Pacifism". I analyzed parts of the document and came to the conclusion that this change is based on a rather flawed understanding of
