@peterjelinek Dazu passend neulich in den Zeitungen vom #shz, also #husumerNachrichten, #flensburgerTageblatt usw. eine Seite über den #GrünenParteitag inkl. vernichtender Analyse und böser Kommentar zu #habeck. Zwei Seiten weiter eine Seite #fdp und #kubicki zum Thema erneuter Kandidatur. Kein Wort zum #d_day oder dem #populismus und der Verweigerungshaltung.
Bitter!
"Rishi #Sunak suffered a fresh setback in his struggling election campaign on Friday when he apologized for leaving #d_day commemorations early in order to give an interview attacking the main opposition party.
Sunak's decision to leave early was met with dismay within his Conservative Party, which is trailing far behind the Labour Party in opinion polls and facing the prospect of a huge defeat on July 4."
Probably safe to say, met with dismay by most of the country.

@GottaLaff while I’m sputtering with absolute rage may I suggest these 46 House Republicans read General Eisenhower’s D-Day message to the troops of the Allied Expeditionary Forces on June 6, 1944? Methinks they have forgotten who we are. From the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.
“ You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty- loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts,
you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, t h e elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.”
Did they forget about the part where he says “security for ourselves in a free world?” Do they realize that is NATO’s prime directive? OR… what part don’t they like? Is it security? Is it a free world?
Martha Gellhorn Was The Only Woman to Report on the #D_Day Landings From the Ground - In June 1944, the veteran journalist hid on a hospital ship so she could report firsthand as Allied soldiers fought their way onto the beaches of Normandy
“It is reported that the secret books are kept in a light metal chest in an office in the pens: the door is marked only with the name “Oberschreibersmaat Fritz Frank” without reference to his employment.
SIGINT is well-known to have been a crucial part of the successes of #d_day but this new information also sheds light on the covert work carried out by 30AU to gather intelligence for GCHQ that would be crucial in bringing about the end of WW2."

Morgen jährt sich der #D_Day zum 80. Mal. Hätten unsere Vorfahren Hitler und die Nazis vor 1933 verhindert, wäre die Landung an der Normandie mit ihren vielen Toten nicht nötig gewesen. Auch deshalb: #afdverbot
Ireland helping with D-Day (just getting it out there that Ireland offered more help with the war effort than many realise) #d_day
