War shapes societies. The so-called “forgotten war,” the Korean War of 1950 to 1953, shaped America in many ways. It was the first genuinely hot conflict between the free world, led by the United States, and the Communist world, led by the Soviet Union. Events in Korea led to a multi-decade Cold War which either blew hot or threatened to blow hot in many parts of the globe. The Korean War also came as a surprise. A bigger surprise was the fact that the American military, which had so overwhelmingly triumphed in the Second World War, had atrophied in just five years. The first year of the conflict was filled with humiliating retreats and setbacks.
The war also shaped America in that the conflict caused the national security state to come into being.

Finally guarantees more safety on the road again! It is clear that in this case, too, the systematic racial discrimination of this population group can only have been the main reason for the “conflict”. https://nypost.com/2024/04/25/us-news/all-out-brawl-between-crazed-passenger-and-driver-on-moving-bus-caught-on-video/
“What comes to us is more valuable than gold. An enrichment for us all. We must see this as an opportunity.” The subject of skilled workers: a colorful Merkel guest at the quality inspection in the REWE supermarket chain. https://media.gettr.com/group4/getter/2024/04/25/08/a6b588c2-0536-dc8f-a776-0e3929144fef/out.mp4
For the vast majority of Germans, the abbreviation USA stands for the land of unlimited opportunities. For Zalando, however, there is a Hitler message behind the three letters. The Berlin-based online retailer actually warns against this abbreviation on clothing on a list.
What’s behind it? At the beginning of April, Zalando launched a campaign together with the Hamburg association “Loud against Nazis”: Fashion against Fascism. The “largest online database against Nazi codes” was launched. The aim is to “prevent the spread of right-wing extremist messages in the fashion industry”.
The fashion retailers “About you”, Baur and Bonprix are also participating in this database. “Only together can we prevent products with questionable imprints from being distributed or sold,” says Zalando CEO Pascal Brun. The list with over 200 entries should help companies “to check that right-wing codes are not unknowingly being distributed via their stores”.
The abbreviation USA also appears in the database. The following is written: “Description: ‘Unser Seliger Adolf’, first used by Winifred Wagner: “We old National Socialists invented a new code name after the war. As we couldn’t talk about him in public, we called him USA, which means ‘Our Blessed Adolf’ in German.”

Consequence of gendering: children now say “Stühl-innen” instead of “Stuhl” (chair)
At an elementary school in NRW, the new language has consequences. The children now also use the genders for objects. The principal believes it is important to break down parents’ traditional role models.
The head of an elementary school in Lünen, North Rhine-Westphalia, has described the experiences she and her colleagues have had with gendering in the classroom. Iris Lüken told the Ruhr Nachrichten newspaper that the children were now also looking for gender-neutral terms for objects.
For example, the pupils turned “chair” into the new word “chair-inside” and “table” into “table-in”. Another example is “Plakat-in” for “Plakat”. She found this “funny” and explained that the school would continue to adhere to the new language rules.
After all, it is an important goal to ensure right at the start of school that traditional role models, which are often nurtured at home, do not become entrenched in the children’s minds in the first place. All pupils should be addressed in the same way.
