  8. 1. Germany is a democracy and therefore unable to launch an attack, only rubber stamp parliaments in autocracies vote to got to war. 2. the EU is a purely economic association with "no", repeat "no", military decision making 3. the NATO is a military alliance which is purely "defensive", repeat "defensive" and needs the vote of every member state for every important decision. Some NATO member states (such as the US and the UK) attacked Iraq but other member states (such as France and Germany) refused to join because it was an "attack" and not a "defense"
  9. Mass tourism has changed many beautiful destinations, I was in Koh Samui in 1989 and 1995, in Bali in 1988 and 2005, in Hanoi in 1982, 1990 and 2010....all changed because of one single reason : traffic jams you really want to avoid. However many years ago a much older friend complained about the traffic jams of Jakarta in 1949...😄

  25. It looks as if in the EU the pendulum of history is switching back to the situation of the 1930ies ....it was a Europe of totally indepentent nations (cfr to Brexit in the UK) whereby every nation took care of itself ....In contrast came the period after World War II whereby in Europe first the French and the Germans and then others got the pendulum swinging to cooperation and integration in what is now the EU with a gigantic bureaucry.
