"The irony is that as Trump casts a large, dark shade, more and more of the world is coming out of the US’s shadow." Good analysis by @nesrinemalik.bsky.social on The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Einen Giga-Dank Prof. Burger und seinem Team für >10 Jahre minutiöser, hochwertiger Arbeit, die dies ermöglicht! Hut ab den hervorragenden Profis von ARD Plusminus, die zeigen, wie faktenbasierte Berichterstattung auch zu sehr komplexen Themen geht! Nur ein Argument fehlte... 🧵
