I would assume any country that is part of Schengen can ban people from visiting the Schengen area. It's their border after all.

What force did he have if those are the other forces?

It provides the capability to authenticate yourself online, e.g. for banking services. It would also be able to prove to a website that you are over 18, without telling the website your birthday. I have yet to use it, but from a technical standpoint it's pretty awesome.

Edit: to clear up some confusion that may exist: as far as I know the app provides the bridge between the chip in the ID card and the application that needs the authentication. No data needs to be stored in the app.

Forsén stated in the 2019 documentary film Losing Lena, "I retired from modeling a long time ago. It's time I retired from tech, too... Let's commit to losing me.

From Wikipedia

She was a paid model, so I don't consider the usage unethical based on that. But I like this comment from a journal:

In today's age of high-resolution digital image technology, it seems difficult to argue that a 512 × 512 image produced with a 1970s-era analog scanner is the best we have to offer as an image quality test standard".

Lmao, they do have a point though!

Whoops, didn't even read what I linked (after making sure it's what the book I meant) XD

The children's book "Drachenreiter" is written often from the perspective of the protagonist Dragon. Not sure if there is an English translation though.

An impostor, lol

It's where the term for the syndrome comes from.

I meant that more general than the US military. It certainly applies in Germany for example, which is much less involved in wars around the world.

But even if you want to restrict your view: Yes, even the US military complex could do with some left leaning people in positions of power. Who is advising the White House on where to send its military? Some random communist literature student or the military (with heavy commentary from oil and gas industry leaders?

Yes, of course. Do you think right wing cops will treat leftist protesters fairly? Who is supposed to prosecute 6th Jan actors? People who are sympathetic towards their actions? Surely not.

If you want leftist protests to be treated fairly you need cops who agree with the protesters.

You'd think so, but the title has a space there!
