Will Europe Escape the USA’s Death Spiral?
Bundeskanzler Willy Brandt besichtigte am 1.3.1974 die Zeche “Minister Stein” in Dortmund-Eving Despite its Recent Pivot, Germany Was Always a Counterweight to American Adventurism by Phil Hall The American empire is bankrupt, deindustrialised, and addicted to war.
