I mean for years now (at least since Obama) the US has been trying to destroy the WTO piece by piece as the fundamentals of the WTO do not align with the US trade policies and do favor China. So they wanted an organisation that favours the US. Obama started it by blocking the appointment of WTO appellate members, leading the WTO to being nothing more than a construct not able to enforce its rules. Trump kept that blockade and started a trade war with China, but since he needs attention he did this very publicly. When Brandon came around, he kept what Trump did as a meassure against China and kept the blockade alive, he was just quiet about it. Now Trump came again and saw it’s still standing and did set up for the final blow, but did it in such a castastrophic clumsy way… the plan of replacing the WTO with another US centric organisation is now as unrealistic as it could be.

For aftershave I’ll keep the Nivea one I usually use, but thanks for the help!

I will try them out once my stock on razor blades dries up. As for the soap sound interessting. Do you have a recommendation? I usually use the palmolive cream. I tried other brands and foams but my skin always was irritated later.

Thanks for the recommendation! But isn’t Wilkinson&Sword American / owned by Americans?

I’ve been using Gilette since + 15 years and kept upgrading because my skin is quite easily irritated and I got a beard and need some sort of pressision for the edges. What non American brand would you recomnend as a replacement of the Fussion 5 by Gilette?

I mean he was an asshole to his mum, wife and kids. (His mum is Appalachian American and in his book he said all Appalachian Americans are drug addicts. His wife is of Indian descent and so are his kids. He still defended the doge douche who was racist towards Indians.). So he pretty much has no assholeness filter and know no boundries.

AFAIK Otto only works in Germany. But they own shops in other countries : For example if you are Swiss: Heine, Ackermann, Quelle, BonePrix, About You and Jelmoly online are part of the otto group. In Austria they are under Baur (I think).

Maybe you can find one of their shops for your country here:
