Berlin is trying to determine whether three cases where its citizens were detained while trying to enter the US signal a change in policy.

Is Germany stuck on half speed or something? It’s pretty well determined already.

Germany is conservative in the true sense of the word.

They get along with Japan so well in that regard.

In 2022, 1.41 Million Germans traveled to the US (most current number I could find).in contrast, 3 being detained - while it is a tragedy and warrants investigation - is not a reason to get into panic mode. Panic mode and fast news cycles brought us this shit, so I am happy to have some people investigating. That does not mean not being aware or ignore the cases, on the contrary. This needs to be looked into and there should be a response.

In 2022 the US was also ran by very different people. Acting 2 years out of date is not clever planning.

The global political landscape is shifting rapidly. Adaptability is paramount to navigate this period.

I agree, but still, I prefer that my government looks into things before it declares something.
