The year 2023 is over and what conflicts and arguments there will be in the coming year. Weren't there already enough military conflicts and disasters? But just as it happens on a small scale, it also happens on a large scale. There are just a few people who present their decisions to their voters and the population in order to expand their own profit and power.

Is Trump a better citizen?
So that was the year 2023
Far be it from me to attack anyone here or to judge anyone. Rather, it is my view of things, as I interpret it below. It may well be that one or the other thinks that this would be a radical view of things. But sometimes it seems to me that you bury your head in the sand. Not reacting, will solve itself. I believe this thread runs through the entire body of writing. As I said, this is not paternalism of anyone, but my opinion on various things at home and abroad.
As one can see from a German daily newspaper, the protests, such as the soiling of art and sticking on the street, are sponsored by an American find. This means that young people are paid for their actions with a salary and social security contributions. This is handled by a German association. What one wants to achieve with this is very questionable. But since this financing comes from the USA, one wonders what the purpose of it is. What culture looks like in this state could already be seen in January 2021 with the storming of the Capitol. It is only to be seen again and again that the European Union allows itself to be led by this country. The background is already correct, in that something should be done about climate change, but such means are not necessarily effective. In America, one should pay much more attention to environmental pollution before financially supporting these actions, even if its president wants to invest an enormous amount of money against climate change. In my opinion, such disruptive actions are extremely questionable as far as the objective is concerned and should be punished rigorously, and not with a few hundred euros. This is about our identity, which we have painstakingly acquired over centuries and which are destroyed by such actions.
If you plan to check the wastewater from airplanes for corona infections in individual states, you can only agree with this approach. Finally, almost one in five people in this country is infected with this virus. But, as is always the case, there is once again chaos as far as agreement on such measures is concerned. We will have the virus all over the world again due to the rising numbers, only through such controls could the increase be contained somewhat. The only thing that is incomprehensible is the reaction on the part of China, which threatens to take countermeasures. It should also be in their interest to control this pandemic and not to respond to it with immediate reactions, but perhaps it is also due to the fact that the past restrictions had actually only achieved negative aspects.
How can it be that more and more young people are taking to the barricades against the state and its legal forms and democracy? It's true that we in the Western world live in countries where you can express your opinion openly, but the whole thing should also be within the realm of the rule of law. Attacks are being made on emergency services, works of art are being destroyed and the judiciary is watching. Have you once again "overslept" something in politics or the judiciary, or do you want to watch these excesses even longer. It is true that young people are showing us what is going wrong, but this should be within the legal framework. However, since the countermeasures are inadequate, with penalties that are too low, one should react to such tendencies of violence. If one also hears that a large part of the "rioters" has a migration background, migrants and refugees should also be discussed in this context. It is simply unacceptable that such people come to us and then wantonly damage our infrastructure and thus try to undermine the value of a democracy. For example, there are asylum seekers in our country who have already committed crimes and live from the country where they are staying and are not deported. Do we, as the Western world, have to put up with this?
North America praises itself as the greatest democracy and votes are held there like in a dictatorship. It was only after the 15th time that a speaker for the House of Representatives could be found. One wonders how far the influence of the former president still is. But as can be observed around the world, the form of government of democracy is no longer obsolete. It is much more meant by some people that only they hold the absolute truth and try to rigorously enforce these points of view, regardless of whether the sovereign has decided otherwise or not. Is that democracy then? Above all, it should be noted that such methods of exercising power can also be found in other countries. History has shown us time and again that power should emanate from the people and not necessarily from individuals who are only attached to their own ideas and, if necessary, want to implement them by radical means. What comes out of it is drastically demonstrated to us in Ukraine. There, even a despot enforces his abstruse ideas at the expense of the population by force of arms.
It's been almost exactly two years since the storming of the Capitol was in the USA and this has also set a precedent. When a president who has been voted out of office incites his supporters to storm democratic institutions, there are many parallels to America. A vote by the sovereign is just as unacceptable as Trump, for example, who also poured oil on the fire by saying that the election victory two years ago had been stolen from him. Former President Bolsonaro of Brazil apparently cannot come to terms with his defeat and is likely to mobilize the mob to enforce his intentions. Is such a thing still democracy, where you want to hold on to power through revolts? Only in contrast to his colleague in America, Bolsonaro has fled to the United States, probably to continue igniting from there. To what extent is the form of democracy affected when some people think that the only way to stay in power is by force?
The fact that the head of this church stands by the ruler and his attitude to the special operation in Ukraine is one thing, but how do you interpret the wanton killing of tens of thousands of people in this belief? In Christianity there is a commandment that says, 'Thou shalt not kill.'" Whether Christianity has always adhered to it is, of course, questionable. But a ceasefire is declared for 36 hours on what is probably the biggest festival of the Orthodox Church, but neither of the two warring parties adheres to it. Russia continues to bomb briskly and understandably defends Ukraine. So why then such statements that don't help anyone. How far will this aggressor go to implement his dubious ideas? How many times have we, as a community of states, been so often deceived by this despot, and both warring parties are supposed to sit down at the same table and negotiate peace when agreements are then unilaterally broken by Russia?
How many more climate catastrophes does this planet have to experience before politicians finally react? Yes, the American president is putting together a package that is to invest about 400 billion dollars in the expansion and research of alternative energy production. But as we have always seen, this will certainly fail again due to some objections, especially since the European economy is not enthusiastic about such projects. But you can already see that a certain competition inspires again and again. If the mining of lignite is also discussed in Germany, this is counterproductive. What do we want to pass on to the next generations, such as a destroyed planet, or do we finally get going when it comes to climate protection? Individual lusts for power and money-making actions should be put on the back burner. As I said, it is no longer 5 to 12 o'clock, but much more we have already exceeded this time.
It is apparently no longer so easy for politicians and the respective decision-makers to make plans for the future. It is necessary to react again and again to the upcoming events and the projects are then put on the back burner. Did their predecessors miss a lot? For example, our government met for a New Year's discussion and the result was a bit meager. However, we as Austria are not alone in thinking of America, where the opposition repeatedly opposes bills. One might think that it would be in the interest of all politicians to act quickly and efficiently so that things get moving. Of course, a "war" like the one we had to experience last year could not be foreseen, but it should not come to the point that such a circumstance costs us a lot of time. If our government has then decided to focus on environmental protection and renewable energies in the coming year, that is commendable, but other countries should also vehemently follow these developments. The sovereign then judges with his vote the results of such plans of the politicians in the election.
These are documents that serve to secure the state and should be treated as such. If a president and a vice-president make use of them, they have also been authorized to do so by a vote of the electorate. What should be criticized, however, is that these are also used outside of official offices and in the private sector. In other words, national security cannot be guaranteed in this way. If, for example, such papers appear in garages and private rooms, apparently anyone can access them and this should be prevented. In some areas, there is a strict ban on transporting papers from offices to private homes. Why doesn't this happen with presidents as well? After all, we are talking about documents that should not be accessible to everyone. What is also to be noted is that these were also found in a garage and not in living rooms. How did they get there? The difference is that the incumbent president is probably more cooperative than his predecessor when it comes to providing information.
Some citizens are struggling with rising inflation and on the other hand there is a President of the National Council who thinks that you need a wing in parliament. Now this piano costs the citizen or taxpayer € 3,000 a month in rent. Many a resident would be extremely happy with such an amount if this money were freely available to him. Is it possible to assume that such politicians are above the citizen and do not give any thought to whether such investments are necessary?
Tens of thousands of scientists and politicians are meeting in Switzerland this week to discuss the global economy. What will be the result in the end? For example, even more globalization or even more accumulation of profits in the industrialized countries? At the moment, however, there are much more urgent problems that should be discussed at such meetings, such as global warming. There is an enormously high potential in the expansion of climate-friendly energy production, which is apparently left untreated at such conferences. Another aspect would be to involve emerging economies more in climate change. Until now, the industrialised countries have deposited their unpleasant waste in such countries without being aware of the consequences for the climate. There should therefore be more support for poorer countries than has been the case so far if we do not want to be shipwrecked sooner or later with such disposal strategies. After all, the industrialised countries have also benefited from such disposal measures.
As was to be expected, it seems to be happening. Is it right to promote the switch from combustion vehicles to e-cars, but where do you get the energy for these cars from? In Germany, for example, it is being considered to restrict the charging of these and on the other hand, the question arises as to where the additional electricity can now be obtained. In this state, for example, the mining of lignite is promoted without being aware of the damage to the environment with this type of extraction. Rather, we should push for the expansion of alternatives, because they are beneficial to our climate. Such trains of thought are not limited to the FRG, but to a large number of countries, in France they rely on nuclear power, which the European Union recently classified as "green", and here in Austria we are thinking about the use of fracking. There is an enormous amount of potential in the field of alternative energies, why is this not being promoted? Our climate would certainly be in good stead, but the approval procedures for the construction of such plants should also be stepped up.
When it comes to reports from the Foreign Minister that the West is motivated by National Socialism, the question arises as to how far the historical knowledge of some people is. True, such a tendency finally ended in a war about a hundred years ago. But there are fundamentally different conditions as far as such currents are concerned. One can only assume that such statements are intended to achieve something else. Could it be that you want to achieve something completely different? The aim is to put the West in a distorted light in order to distract from domestic problems or tendencies and thus to put the Western community of states in a distorted light. Only if you look at the form of government in Russia are its exponents far away, for example when it comes to freedom of expression and democracy. More or less only one person sets the direction or opinion. What is the difference to Hitler? It was precisely in this country that one had to experience an authoritarian state leadership that was ultimately doomed to failure. Democracy can be held in high esteem, because it has presented itself as correct for thousands of years. Of course, this also has its flaws, but it is always being worked on to revise it. This cannot be understood with other forms of government.
If you follow what the Ukrainian president has said, he is probably right for the most part. There is a discussion in both the USA and the FRG about when and how many tanks should be sent to Ukraine. Only every day of delay, as far as delivery is concerned, is another, where a correspondingly large number of soldiers lose their lives and, in addition, does not shorten the duration of the war. As far as the statements of the attacked country can be trusted, they will only be used to defend Ukraine, which should also be their right. Now, however, there is a discussion in the Western world about which defensive weapons may or may not be supplied to the invaded country. But this is not exactly about fighter jets, where one might assume that they would leave the territory of Ukraine to destroy Russia, but only tanks for self-defense. It is clear that the Russian president is threatening to cross the red line. Only what words can you still believe this aggressor? But when he threatens a limited nuclear strike in this context, one wonders what he means by that. Didn't history in the last world war show us what is meant by limited? Tens of thousands of people have died and the bombed areas are still shining.
If we are allowed to follow the reports from France, we can only partially agree with them. People take to the streets to demonstrate against an increase in the retirement age by 2 years and do not ask themselves whether this would not be beneficial to society. It is already the case that the pension system has to be financed with taxpayers' money. There has been no talk of an "intergenerational contract" for a long time. It is very surprising that the trade unions also call for such demonstrations. They are desperately looking for skilled workers and sending people into retirement at an age where they would still like to work. It's true, a younger employee is certainly cheaper for a company than an older one. If, as in Austria, you are also "punished" by punishing this person who thinks he is working at the age of 65 and with pension insurance contributions in addition to his pension, then you should rethink such systems. But the trade unions should also be called upon to make it easier for older workers to work in retirement and not to stubbornly insist on a retirement age of around 62 years. Finally, such people have a knowledge that a younger person does not yet have. This should be worth something to society and not be tantamount to punishment if they want to continue working.
It is somewhat incomprehensible when Germany hesitates to deliver the Leopard main battle tank. Excuses are needed to wait for America and further opaque arguments. Only the war and Ukraine continues, and with each passing day the aggressor is trying to annex even more territory. However, since this weapon is not an assault tank, but rather a defensive weapon, one wonders why it has to be discussed for so long. It would be different if we were talking about fighter jets, which would certainly be suitable for attacking the neighbouring country. But Ukraine needs such tanks that try to protect its own state from this aggressor and do not necessarily want to attack it. If there is a threat from Russia that a red line will be crossed with such deployments, we are already familiar with such statements from the Kremlin. How many times has this attacker crossed the red line for eleven months now, contrary to his previous statements? But what is the alternative? You don't deliver and sooner or later this state will be incorporated into Russia and Putin attacks the next state with dubious arguments. Is that what Western democracies want?
If our Minister of the Interior and the Federal Chancellor go to Bulgaria to declare our opposition to the enlargement of the Schengen area, then it is understandable that this country opposes it, but it should also be the basis for our veto in the European Union to think about such enlargement and the right of asylum. The proposal of our Federal Chancellor to ask the Union to pay two billion in order to erect a fence over hundreds of kilometres on the Turkish-Bulgarian border is actually not expedient. As an example of this, one can bring America into the meeting. Fences and walls were erected there under the former president, but what good did it do to this state? In spite of all this, such barriers are overcome or circumvented. Only the establishment of such measures has cost the domestic taxpayer an enormous amount of money, and the problem still exists. But as has often been mentioned, one should think much more about social benefits for asylum seekers or migrants, whether they are effective. It is true that since we are desperately looking for skilled workers, such people should also be integrated into the labour market and not be subject to work bans as long as the asylum procedure is ongoing. But are such refugees or migrants the people we desperately need?
Imagine a Bible being burned in front of a Catholic church. How would you react? The fact that the Koran was burned in Sweden cannot be justified by anything and should also be punished from this country. If, in the same breath, the Turkish president wants to prevent Sweden's accession to NATO, then one has very little to do with the other. Of course, this leader has to face an election in May, but does something like this always have to end with blackmail? Sweden and Finland are seeking membership in this alliance in order to strengthen their own sovereignty as well as their defence power. It may well be that some time ago people in these countries thought differently about it. Such a request is not about religious issues, but solely about security in these states. It is only remarkable that such an obstacle comes from a country where the separation of church and state was carried out a long time ago. Now this same president is trying to couple this again. Is today's politics only based on self-interest and blackmail?
Imagine: a delinquent refugee is released from custody and commits a massacre six days later, killing several people. The background is that this person has been in the European Union for a long time and has often come into conflict with the law. This person is being watched by the police and judiciary, whether he adheres to the laws, but he is not deported. In addition, he also lives at the expense of the domestic taxpayer. They are looking for skilled workers in the economy by all means, but such people certainly do not meet the requirements that are required. For years, procedures for the right to asylum are negotiated and discussed, and in the end, the only thing that such migrants can think of is to initiate massacres. Is that in the interests of the citizen of the Union? It cannot be that the citizen supports such people in Germany with his taxes. It is true that, according to the Convention on Human Rights, we are called upon to grant a refugee residence and asylum, but what is currently being practiced should be amended very quickly if one does not want to provoke one's own citizen to uprisings. There are already tendencies and tendencies in this regard within the Union, if you listen to some of the statements made by the politicians. Is the whole system of democracy and its rule of law doomed to failure?
Could it be that the police and judiciary no longer know how to help each other? In America, a black African is killed, and he is killed by police officers who have the same skin color. Politicians allow this to happen and are still watching. One could almost think that there are right-wing extremist situations, which is what the police are showing. Well, on the one hand, it is understandable of these officials, but on the other hand, they should also act according to the law, you simply cannot use brute force and kill a person with it. The fact that the judiciary is reacting to this is remarkable, because in the past such acts were always treated only as a "trivial offense" and not as manslaughter. There are finally reactions from the judiciary by removing these officials from their duties and also putting them on charge. But if there are more weapons than inhabitants in such a country, this is already very questionable and of course encourages the citizen to defend himself. Of course, this could have been prevented by the police, but what backing or support do these police officers have from the judiciary and legislation? We in Europe have similar problems as far as the police are concerned, only here there are much stricter gun laws that may prevent such escapades. It's just that our police apparatus is struggling with the same problems as in America. Although there are laws that restrict such excesses, there are likely to be difficulties of interpretation throughout the legislation as far as dealing with such events is concerned. One can imagine that the individual official tends to overreact.
The U.S. Secretary of State is considering launching a military strike against Iran. The reason for this is probably that this state wants to further expand its nuclear program. How long have people in the Western world been discussing how to prevent this and in the end only the population of the respective country is the one who suffers? It should also be noted that the knowledge about the production of nuclear enrichment was not necessarily researched in one's own state and that some knowledge about it had been acquired from abroad. On the other hand, it should also be noted that apparently one had not learned from such military strikes on the part of America, if one thinks of North African countries, for example. Everything always has to be enforced by force of arms, the results of which are already well known. As I said, the rulers are only affected to a very limited extent, the victims are the citizens of the attacked country.
If you hear from a high representative of the European Parliament that you are thinking about erecting fences, then that is not necessarily the solution. There are tens of thousands of kilometers at the borders and they want to fortify them with barbed wire and walls. Among other things, our history comes to mind, where castles and fortresses were built in the Middle Ages to ward off the invaders. But what was the effect of this? The belligerent attackers came anyway. If you look at the fences and walls between Mexico and North America even today, they have not brought very much except enormous costs.
