2024 war ich auf Kreta in einem Hilton Hotel im Urlaub. 5 Sterne, überragendes Essen. Frisch gezapftes 0,5er Bier allerdings 8 Euro das Glas. Deutsche sind deswegen eskaliert, Abzocke! Die nicht wenigen US-amerikanischen Gäste haben begeistert konsumiert. Und ich dachte damals, dass es sicher krasse Auswirkungen auf die europäische Tourismus-Landschaft hat, wenn jetzt immer mehr Amerikaner zum Urlauben nach Europa kommen. Der Europäer, vor allem der Deutsche, schaut stark auf den Preis. Der Amerikaner konsumiert euphorisch. Und erachtet im Vergleich zu den USA in Europa alles als günstig. Seit 2015 ist die Anzahl amerikanischer Touristen in Griechenland um 300% gestiegen. Sie verdrängen an sehr beliebten Orten europäische Touristen. Weil sie bereit sind ein Preislevel zu gehen, auf dem der Europäer aussteigt. #Tourismus #Griechenland #Reisen

Seit 10 Wochen ist diese sündhaft teure Patriot-Batterie kaum mehr wert als ein Haufen Alteisen. Seit 10 Wochen hat dieser Lebensretter keine einzige Abwehrrakete mehr abgeschossen, während die russischen Raketen munter darüber fliegen. CNN hat tatsächlich eine ukrainische Patriot-Stellung besucht. Die Abschussbehälter waren leer. Weil Trump die Ukraine mit allen Mitteln in eine Kapitulation zwingen will, die Europäer ihn dabei durch Nichtstun unterstützen, auch indem sie lebenwichtige Abwehrraketen immer noch lieber verstauben lassen für den Fall, dass die West-Flanke der NATO dann auch irgendwann mal in Gefahr gerät oder die Türkei morgen Griechenland zuballert. Könnte ja sein. #Ukraine #PatriotBatterie #NATO
