The D-Day marks itself-and wakes up old, new fears. The rose war between Trump and Musk escalated. And what else is still important today.
Love Readers, dear reader,
Exactly 81 years ago, the Allies soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy. It was the beginning of a new morning for Germany, for Europeactually for the whole world. Bought a hundred thousand with the blood.
“We know what we owe them,” said one () on the humility of Friedrich Merz on the humility to Donald Trump yesterday. He is right. Because what followed the end of the Second World War in Europe a year later was a miracle. The longest peace in history.
To the background too Merz‘SPRANT-REAST Performance in the Oval Office is the new edition of the “5-minute talk”:
Yes, war, whether warm or cold, there was also it. But an inferno with the potential to devour the whole world was spared us until we forgot how heat feels. Now it gets hotter. And that scares us.
Take this. Almost two thirds of all Germans (64 percent) are worried about a new, great war in Europe.
This fear, she also drives “the up there”. The NATO members have the largest upgrade program since Cold war Decided, Defense Minister Boris Pistorius demands 60,000 additional soldiers for the Bundeswehr, military historian Sönke Neitzel warned of maybe “last summer in peace”. A skipping act, panic -tying exaggeration? Perhaps. But, don’t hear it too, this quiet, neck hair: And what, if not?
Here in Seoul Hang on the entrances of many subway stations innocent-looking, colorful signs that people indicate shelter. You already know: in the event of cases.
When I saw such a sign for the first time yesterday, I thought: “Thank God this is not necessary in Germany. This morning I read:” Federal Office wants to create a million places in shelters “.
Man is adaptable, a habit. The South Koreans have learned to live with the danger. It is omnipresent, yes. But the case of cases no longer scares them, after all, they are prepared. And you can’t do more, right?
He doesn’t love me. He doesn’t love me
I suspect you don’t want to wake up with Elon Musk and Trump every morning. This is not only understandable, but actually belongs in every package insert. But come, once still works, right?
The Rose War, whose first skirmish I have a few days ago, has finally broken out.
Impressive how quickly this “no, you first put on” attitude into real contempt. For such a “inevitable, yet shocking” moment, we Germans certainly have a word, we have: men.
Musk struggles against Trump through his megafon X, calls him a liar, demands his dismissal, pondering the establishment of his own party. And that of a man he is not too long (the only thing that Musk apparently fears even more than a robot uprising is that he could accidentally become gay).
Trump, in turn, even goes one step further. He is not angry with his elon, but “very disappointed”. Ouch. Next, he sends the rebellious billionaire to his room without dinner.
Hachja, it could be so funny. If one would not be the richest, the other the most powerful person in the world. Oh what. It is still funny.
Dancing
Speaking of rebellious behavior. The New Zealand Parliament has decided to suspend three of its members. You notice that my transitions are getting better.
The opposition MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke is to be forced for seven or two of her party colleagues for 21 days. The three had spontaneously initiated a HAKA, a traditional Maori dance, in response to a legislative proposal.
Sometimes dances say more than 1000 words. But, maybe you made your point of view a little too clear. In any case, nothing worked in parliament at the time:
Even if you angry your sentence, the three MPs are allowed to live with it. Because the law in question, which provided for a redefinition of the founding contract with the indigenous New Zealand, has now been off the table after nationwide, no less loud protests. There is no dance-off against a HAKA.
What else is coming today
- Today is that Day of the visually impaired: More than a million people in the Federal Republic suffer from progressive eyesight. You can find more information
- From today to Sunday, Eid al-Adha finds that Islamic sacrificial festival instead of. It reminds of Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice one of his sons to prove God’s faith. Happy Holiday!
- Today 150 years ago were writers Thomas Mann born. You already know: the man to which millions of German students owe their favorite book “Buddenbrooks”
The Far Eastern wisdom of the day
I am honest: Even after now overcome jet lag, my dark circles were less crater-like. I could shave again. After all, I became brown in the bright large city sun.
You are only young once. Good this way.
What bothers me the most here is the South Korean, ideal of beauty propagated by the ubiquitous K-pop. Above all, this includes an at least slim figure and a porcelain slat, radiant-bright skin. Anyone who is worth it hides every approach of natural aging with the help of a huge make-up arsenal. If that doesn’t help either, it goes under the knife without hesitation. South Korea is one of the countries with the most beauty surgeries per capita. By the way: Not only women cling to their bloom with this enormous effort.
Not for me. Try to stay (worry) wrinkle-free as a news editor.
I wish you a nice Pentecost weekend, we read at the service – Annyeonghi Gyeseyo!
