In socialist societies, the opportunity (or rather the need) to tinker survived for much longer. In 80s USSR, can‘t fix your Lada yourself? Good luck. Way into the 90s, car owners were often called „auto amateurs“ in Russian, in the same vein as „pigeon fanciers“

What’s killing NATO isn’t the European refusals to access to US bases, but Trump’s unilateral decision to redefining NATO as a US force-projection tool rather than a collective defense arrangement. That’s the constitutional coup against the alliance. Europe didn’t break NATO, Trump did.

„In der heutigen Zeit ist die Todesstrafe unzulässig [...]. Sie schafft keine Gerechtigkeit für die Opfer, sondern schürt Rache. Für einen Rechtsstaat stellt die Todesstrafe ein Versagen dar, weil sie ihn verpflichtet, im Namen der Gerechtigkeit zu töten.“ (Papst Franziskus)
derstandard.de
Israels Knesset stimmt für die Wiedereinführung der Todesstrafe – de facto nur für Palästinenser
Künftig sollen Richter palästinensische Terroristen zum Tode verurteilen, für jüdische Rechtsextremisten gilt die Verschärfung aber nicht. Noch ist das letzte Wort aber nicht gesprochen
