Is Germany stuck on half speed or something? It’s pretty well determined already.
- In 2022, 1.41 Million Germans traveled to the US (most current number I could find).in contrast, 3 being detained - while it is a tragedy and warrants investigation - is not a reason to get into panic mode. Panic mode and fast news cycles brought us this shit, so I am happy to have some people investigating. That does not mean not being aware or ignore the cases, on the contrary. This needs to be looked into and there should be a response.
  
  In 2022 the US was also ran by very different people. Acting 2 years out of date is not clever planning.
  The global political landscape is shifting rapidly. Adaptability is paramount to navigate this period.
- Germany is conservative in the true sense of the word.
  
  They get along with Japan so well in that regard.
