Hopefully it will not take World War III to get us there. Hopefully we will not end up in a world in which we are further divided, isolated and estranged from one another. Hopefully we will not need to grow potatoes under train tracks or raise goats on our balconies. But it is clear that resolving tensions between globalization and equality is one of the most urgent tasks of our time and that our future rests upon it.

Weekly #shopping has recently been given a fun twist: #BoycottUSA

Fortunately, it's easy in #France: goods from the region and the own country have always been specially labelled. And we now also cheekily turn US goods upside down.

A new study: 62% of French people support the #boycott of US products. Falling numbers also in #tourism, #working, #studying. The #study reveals an unprecedented collapse in the image of the US among French people.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

   Perfectionism, no less than isolationism or imperialism or power politics, may obstruct the paths to international peace. Let us not forget that the retreat to isolationism a quarter of a century ago was started not by a direct attack against international cooperation but against the alleged imperfections of the peace.
   In our disillusionment after the last war we preferred international anarchy to international cooperation with Nations which did not see and think exactly as we did. We gave up the hope of gradually achieving a better peace because we had not the courage to fulfill our responsibilities in an admittedly imperfect world.
   We must not let that happen again, or we shall follow the same tragic road again — the road to a third world war.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Message (1945-01-06) to Congress, Annual Message (State of the Union)

"Friedrich Merz did not even wait for the final results in Germany's election before delivering what could well be a defining verdict on U.S. President Donald Trump, consigning Europe's 80-year alliance with the United States to the past. The Trump administration does not care about Europe and is aligning with Russia,":
