If the US or the Netherlands were being invaded that world also wreak havoc, but how is that related to the links between China and Intel's CEO?

This is the Netherlands, they obviously (and luckily IMO) won't get sued when there has not even been any incident and they have a clear advisory for the safety problem. I don't even know on what grounds could anyone sue them.

Turning the lights on and closing the curtains to block it seems the really alien solution to me. If you don't want the lights, why not just turn them off? It's really common in many cities in France too, also in the countryside t

I didn't caricature your words, so please don't do it with me. Of course the US plays a part. But they don't have bases everywhere so it's not that obvious why it would explain why France and Luxembourg get along fine bu
