Trump's New World Disorder - An Age of Distrust, Wars and Chaos?!
Quote
2025-12-15 | UPDATES #079 | “Pax Americana is over.” We’ve known this for a while, but Chancellor Merz’s speech still dropped like a bomb going off. And it was a warning flare from the centre of Europe’s security architecture. In this episode we cover Chancellor Merz’s speech, the Berlin peace push, and the emerging European fear that Washington is no longer an ally — possibly even adversary.

This weekend, Chancellor Friedrich Merz told a party congress in Munich that Europe must brace for a fundamental shift in its relationship with the United States — because the American-guaranteed peace that defined Europe’s postwar order is, in his words, “largely over.” (Reuters)

Why are increasing numbers of passengers losing their minds mid-air? | DW News
Quote
With Thanksgiving just days away, concerns about a surge in public meltdowns and other moments of chaos are growing.
In the '60s and '70s, flying was truly about enjoying the friendly skies—the excitement, the anticipation, and the chats with your in-flight neighbor. Now, flying is seen as a chore. It's an unpleasant experience we have to endure to spend quality time with family and friends. If you feel like other passengers are more irritable today than in the past, you're not imagining it.

Not intended as a pro-industrialization post. But as MAGA has claimed, reindustrialization of the U.S. would supposedly "make America great again"...

America's Reindustrialisation Isn’t Happening.
Quote
