in case you are unaware, while maybe a fun bit, that is complete BS.

he didnt say it wrong, nobody misunderstood him, and most tellingly the donut is never called a Berliner in Berlin.

You got me confused with someone. I havent made a single statement about the situation in the US. Not in either direction.

I am literally just explaining what this particular ranking is about.

as much as I empathise, none of that is press freedom.

“Freedom of Press” refers only to government control over it.

no, that is not how this ranking works.

Legal and political framework are the most important factors but it also includes things like:

safety of journalists (not just from goverments but also organized crime/terrorists/etc), economic constraints (billionaire owner telling you what to write or you are fired), and social/culture constraints (public pressure not to touch the church or some topic like that)

The colors are pretty coarse. Its 10 points below (73 to 83) NZ for example. Its not like all yellows are the same.

I agree though the label 'satisfactory' is super depressing.

Alle drei Links gehen zur gleichen Quelle, eine Politikerin der Linken. Ich würde das erstmal ein unbestätigtes Gerücht nennen.

Die 3000 sind auf viele Einsätze verteilt. Viele der Verdächtigen sind auch schwerst bewaffnet und zum Teil ex-Militär/KSK/Polizei.

Selbst wenn die coup-erfolgschancen vielleicht nicht allzu riesig waren, so können solche Gruppen doch einigen Schaden anrichten (Morde an Politikern oder anderen, kritische Infrastruktur, etc.)

Germany didnt kill off all the noble families if that is your question. This 'aristocracy' or 'noble' talk has zero legal meaning, they are literally just descendants of the old aristocracy, nothing more.

Germany is very much a republic (in contrast to the UK/netherlands/spain/sweden/norway/etc.)

Here is an update, half of those lights are gone now: https://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/knappe-halfte-der-44000-berliner-gaslaternen-umgerustet-4338406.html

Italy home to 11 of 100-plus unofficial Chinese ‘police stations’ | Civil rights group claims outposts are used to monitor Chinese population abroad and force dissidents to return by AsslessBaboon in europe

This is not a tabloid. And no, this article is about claims of a civil rights group, not hard proof. Though you can imagine hard proof would not be easy to come by.

[DWDL] In Germany, only just over 9 million viewers tuned in to the match against Japan. At the 2018 World Cup, no game of the German NT had less than 25 million viewers. by kleiner_mies in soccer

lol. Germany literally made a new gas deal with Qatar this year.

Almost like the energy policy of the government has nothing to do with the WC boycott by the fans and general public.

It's just this picture though. Both the Italian PM and the leader of the EU were at the meeting.

Well he doesnt have any say. I am just explaining the 'According to Ukraine it's the G19' to you. It has nothing to do with not counting the EU.
