Actually it is even narrower than that. It is a court of the state of Berlin and since Germany uses civil law, any court of any other state can decide differently in a similar case. The decision can also be overturned by the federal court of justice and might even go to the constitutional court, and the judge was well aware of it.
Now I am even more surprised. You see, I own a MOTOACTV, an early smart watch, that is - if rooted - a fully featured Android tablet. It is not much larger than modern smart watches and yet it had enough room inside for a headphone jack. See for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmGO1KXokto
They also can exit the outer space treaty and just park the warheads in orbit. That way they would have global reach and would be virtually impossible to intercept
Have you actually ever disassembled a reasonably modern phone? I run a small repair shop after hours, so I have. The headphone jack is not particularily large, it absolutely doesn't have to be in a corner (although it helps) and it is usually a module with several other stuff attached or placed on it, like the LEDs, ambient light sensors or antennas (which often are just plastic covers with metallic ink lines drawn on them. As for the USB port being half as deep - it depends. It doesn't take much room when soldered directly to the motherboard, but by now the manufacturers finally realised that it tends to break off and make the USB port as a module with a flex cable attached. This module is most certainly not smaller than the headphone jack module (which is usally not just the headphone jack anyway). Oh, by the way, there is actually quite enough room inside a phone thanks to the large displays they tend to have nowadays. You have to realise that most of the hardware inside a phone is not that different to the hardware of a smart watch. The only thing that is difficult to avoid is a certain thickness (LCD + frame + adhesive + battery + back cover - that much room is necessary), but a headphone jack is slim enough to fit in.
You seriously overestimate the amount of passengers at Heathrow. It is only 25% more than in Frankfurt (or 20% more than in Paris). MUC and FRA together, as you have suggested, have in turn 25% more passengers than LHR.
That guy actually proved that Germany is a nation because the majority of Germans followed him and his nationalist rhetorics, instead of giving him the finger, despite the (still existing) animosity between Northern Germany and Southern Germany (and the mutually unintelligible dialects) and despite Germany back then being quite divided in religious matters (Catholics and Protestants intermarriage have been frowned upon even 30 years ago). Even in WW1 Germany acted as a nation, despite being an actually united country for only 40 years. Same goes for the reunification with GDR. I can't really say what conditions define a nation, just saying that yours aren't.
My point is that despite your "anthropological criteria" Germany is clearly a nation, so either these criteria are wrong or you simply don't understand them. Which one is it?
Except neither Hitler nor Mussolini banned private firearm ownership, hence using that as the definition of fascism is not only stupid (because this is completely orthogonal to fascism), but also ignorant.
How can you call a party that is "hard on crime" and has created a "department of homeland security", that clearly wants to decide what people do in private anything less than hard-authoritarian? Fanboy much?
Your examples (and other historical examples) actually show that it is the other way around - the West is not a friend of Russia. As the history demonstrates indeed.
Duh. You forgot to mention that the total net amount of power production in 2011 was also quite a bit smaller. Besides, that doesn't mean there are more coal power plants now than there have been in 2011, it just means that several old inefficient power plants were replaced with a smaller amount of more efficient power plants that produce more power from less coal. Moreover, look at the government numbers: https://www.destatis.de/DE/Zah...
You clearly see that the amount of actually produced (not the total installed capacity) electric power from both lignite and black coal goes down, not up, every single year, and not just in absolute numbers, but also as the percentage of total power production. The only fossil power source that actually goes up is natural gas, because it is used by peaking power plants that have to be used more often than in the past.
As to your list, here is some explanation Datteln block 4: a more efficient replacement for 3 old blocks. Stade: planning stage, no permit yet. BoAplus Niederaussen: planning finished, no permit yet and the chances that it happens are pretty slim. That is it, only three planned power plants, of which only one is actually a new power plant, not just a new block for an existing one, and only one of these three has an actual permit. Three is a very low amount of "several", and given that only one is allowed to be built, it is not even that.
Which is ironic because that the "nazi" blackletter font predates nazis by several centuries and used to be the standard German font before Hitler made a law that all official correspondence had to be written in standard Latin script, not blackletter.
So shelling the parliament is okay, but freedom of the press is sacred? You have an interesting view of democracy. And by the way, killing journalists hasn't just started when Putin became president. Matter of fact, the highest profile murder of a journalist happened in 1995. Everything after was small potatoes in comparison.
A blackout means that the grid frequency has dropped so much that the power stations start shedding load. In Germany this has to happen immediately after reaching 49 Hz - chapter 7.3.4 of the grid code. The grid operators have to implement a contingency plan using all available resources when reaching 49.8 Hz already - a value that is considered normal in other grids. Here are German SAIDI values: https://www.bundesnetzagentur....
As you can clearly see, the value has dropped by 50% during the past 10 years, showing that power quality got better, not worse, despite everything. In comparison, nuclear powered France has a SAIDI value that is 4 times higher.
It clearly shows that Germany has the third-best power quality in the EU. So much for that. Let's bet that by 2020 Germany will have a higher percentage of renewable power than in 2017 averaged through the year.
A struggling power grid means blackouts. They happen so infrequently that they make news. Matter of fact the power quality in Germany is among the best in the world. And the superconducting line length is actually 1 km.
Russia had a functioning democracy from late 1991 to late 1993. Then Yeltzin (then-president) dissolved the parlament using tanks and grabbed all the power he could get.

There is no such thing as the presidend of the EU.
And this is called fallacy fallacy, because even being a fallacy doesn't automatically make a statement wrong.

The decision can also be overturned by the federal court of justice and might even go to the constitutional court, and the judge was well aware of it.
China also has over four times as many citizens.
The plural of "Sitzpinkler" is also "Sitzpinkler" and a German noun always starts with a capital letter.

I don't drink, still feel the age.
Terrible economic conditions? The Russians still remember the 90ies. Compared to that the current conditions are merely inconvinient.
Can you give some references? This is seriously difficult to believe given how much our governments normally kiss the MBA arses.

Every one of your points could be applied to Germany as well, often actually even more so than to the USA.
By your logic Germany is not a nation either.
