unhinged conspiracy theorist

I thought so, too but the theories match too much on Trump. They may be unhinged but I think they are implemented.

One might even argue it was a better internet,

I would agree

it has made it easier to spread lies to the masses.

The internet also spreads the truth. The art is to let people read the truth without them recognizing it among lies.

My impression is that the US have mastered that art.

Have you seen that Peter Thiel, the man behind Musk and JD Vance, believes that the masses need a scape goat?

Compared to Iraq, the US don’t behave more reckless. It’s just the communication that has changed. Instead of having a moral justification, people blame each other.

The chemical weapons were a lie. People still accepted the war.

The difference to now is that the internet reveals all lies. The Iraq war wouldn’t be possible today.

The US have adapted their population management to the new constraints of the internet. They don’t rely on morality anymore.

For politicians, nothing changes. The cover stories and morality was never part of their considerations. It has always been the power of the US, and that hasn’t changed much.

destroying both the petro dollar and the dollar as the global reserve currency, and finally slowing down the US economy do China will surpass them faster.

The petro dollar was not sustainable. It worked with Japan and Germany who are friendly and don’t threaten economic war and keep holding the bonds. China created BRICS and a global basket currency. The EU is more dangerous on paper, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Élysée_Treaty controversy, it’s a US creation.

Tariffs are the other option to manage the US economy, instead of the trade deficit. To not give China back all their dollars, devaluating the Dollar is even rational. But it’s difficult to communicate. A mad Trump is the solution.

The Chinese economy is supposed to not matter because China, and Russia, is going to be isolated. The strategy is called decoupling. The oil from Iran is the start. I am worried that that doesn’t work because then the US only has the nuclear option.

There are more layers to it.

Trump is a scape goat https://read.lukeburgis.com/p/peter-thiel-on-rene-girard and mad man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madman_theory

The Ukraine army was directed by the US https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/03/29/world/europe/us-ukraine-military-war-wiesbaden.html

and military intelligence was run by the CIA since 2014 (in German) https://feddit.org/post/28059198 .

Attacking deep into Russia must have led to a full escalation of the war. Everything would have been American but the nationality of the soldiers.

The objective of the US is more likely to just keep Europe and Russia in a conflict, along old strategic considerations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_Chessboard :

in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus also of challenging America.

I don’t think that the US are stupid and run by an idiot. They are flooding the zone with gossip while the elite works on their geopolitical objectives.

The elites of the EU are deeply involved in this. Iraq war, even Syria and Libya, those were illegal and the EU kept silent.

The conflict with Russia was decades in the making. Putin asked for a joined economic zone in 2001 and by 2008 his speech at the Munich security conference suggests that tensions were rising. We still don’t know why approachment stopped. An independent EU would have educated its population about it because it would have made us the most powerful political entity on earth.

Conquering Iran is from 2001. It’s not Trump’s plan.

SystemD knows what it has to do.

You could be right: People who don’t live in Germany don’t have the defence duty.

Die Wehrpflicht ruht, solange Wehrpflichtige ihren ständigen Aufenthalt und ihre Lebensgrundlage außerhalb der Bundesrepublik Deutschland haben,

However, the law states that men, not people with duty, have to ask for permission.

Männliche Personen haben nach Vollendung des 17. Lebensjahres eine Genehmigung des zuständigen Karrierecenters der Bundeswehr einzuholen

One person argued that a headline clarified that it is for people with duties. It’s possible but I am not sure.

The headline would have been correct on 22th December 2025, when it was introduced.

Now it has already been introduced and the 3 month period is over. Since it’s April, all expats have failed to apply for a permission. That includes all men, there is no 45 year limit for the permission requirement.

I am curious how many Germans will be worried that this topic wasn’t discussed when the law was changed and how many wonder that nobody reminded them at the start of the year. The handling is suspiciously sneaky.

They probably don’t realise how many young people want to imigrate to places like Germany;

Of the 14 to 29 year olds, more than 20% should have a migration background. It could be that most of the 20% are immigrants who want to move on because Germany is not as good as they or their parents thought.

If you have tried solving the problems and failed then an exchange is the smart decision.

What if this one takes pictures of the landing site and the flag?

What if they don’t?

kind of content they dislike

Or they like it and e.g. want just one strong 196 community.
