Why Americans Hate the Democratic Party
Relatedly, substantial percentages of both independents and Republicans stressed that they felt the Democratic Party is untrustworthy, either because they lie or because they are corrupt. One Republican respondent reported feeling that the Democratic Party “has become extremely corrupt while pointing the blame at others.

Netanjahus Todesfalle
Eine Mehrheit der Deutschen lehnt Israels brutales Vorgehen ab, das Menschenrechtsorganisationen bereits als Völkermord bezeichnen. Sie fordern von der EU, das Assoziierungsabkommen mit Israel auszusetzen. Länder wie Spanien und Irland sind schon lange dafür.
Doch die deutsche Politik bleibt davon seltsam unberührt. Deutschland sperrt sich dagegen und weiß dabei so sympathische Regierungen wie die von Giorgia Meloni und Viktor Orbán an seiner Seite. Gleichzeitig genehmigt Merz weiter Waffenlieferungen an Israel. Ob Israel damit Kriegsverbrechen begeht oder nicht, ist ihm offensichtlich egal.

Verordnete „Kriegstüchtigkeit“ und paralysierte Bürger – Warum nehmen wir die Kriegsvorbereitung widerstandslos hin? Teil 1
Zusammenfassung
Es sind also zusammengefasst folgende Charakteristika der atomaren Situation, die es uns so schwer machen, wirklich zu erfassen, auf welch abschüssiger Bahn wir uns längst befinden:
Die Bedrohung ist zu groß, als dass wir sie uns noch adäquat vorstellen könnten.
Sie ist zu entsetzlich, als dass wir sie uns noch vorstellen mögen.
Sie ist unsichtbar, räumlich also nicht zu orten und damit überall und nirgends.
Zahllose Menschen sind – alle auf das Indirekteste – in die Herstellung der Untergangsgeräte eingebunden.
Das finale Inferno kann im Ernstfall auf das Leichteste realisiert werden: Am Ende wird es ein via Künstliche Intelligenz von einem Computer gesteuerter Computer gewesen sein!
