U.S. Democracy fails when we convince ourselves that voters are always right & should be told what they want to hear to earn their vote.

US-Sicherheitsstrategie: Deutsche Geheimdienste sind besorgt und warnen
Der Verfassungsschutz mahnt mehr Befugnisse an, um unabhängiger von amerikanischen Geheimdiensten zu werden. Denkbar sei sogar, dass sich die USA bei Wahlen in Europa stärker einmischen könnten.
