To have sovereignty, you need two things at least: international recognition and control over your territory.
Recognition has not been forthcoming, especially from where it matters most. The European Union, in its Brexit mindset, couldn’t be less inclined to pander to a region breaking away from a key member state such as Spain. As for control of the territory, the general strike set to begin tomorrow is aimed at giving the new republic at least some semblance of that, but it will be incomplete and temporary.

Cinema Amore Mio
Bel film, sghembo e straniante, con una sceneggiatura nervosa che prende strade sempre inaspettate. Colonna sonora un po' troppo invadente ma uno straordinario Iggy Pop sui titoli di coda. Pattinson si conferma attore solido
Bruce Cumings notes in his book The Korean War: A History: “What hardly any Americans know or remember, however, is that we carpet-bombed the North for three years with next to no concern for civilian casualties.”
Blaine Harden, author of The Great Leader and the Fighter Pilot, said North Korean targets were “mostly easy pickings” for US B-29s bombers that faced little or no opposition from the ground.

Cumings said that the public intent was to erode enemy morale and end the war sooner, “but the interior intent was to destroy Korean society down to the individual constituent”.
According to US air force estimates, the bombings caused more damage to North Korea’s urban centres than that seen in Germany or Japan during the second world war, with the US dumping 635,000 tons of bombs on Korea compared with 503,000 tons during the entire Pacific war.

Il più grande successo della socialdemocrazia europea è essere riusciti a resuscitare i fantasmi dei fascisti e dei nazisti che di aggiravano per l'Europa.
