No one ever talks about the drug use that is prevalent in our modern society - both legal and illegal.
Professionals and military personnel take uppers to keep them focused, stimulants to keep them sharp and all sorts of other things to keep them going all the time. It's great if things are working good all the time but no one is a Superman that can maintain that lifestyle for very long. Humans are designed to that for very long.
Look at the history of Pervitin an early form of methamphetamine used by Nazi Germany during the Second World War ... it was a drug that would keep soldiers awake and fighting for days with superhuman ability. Even Hitler used it to keep up active. But after a few years of this, it was common to see soldiers showing signs of mental breakdown ... Hitler starting shaking like a meth addict later on.
Since the war ... drug use and development has only become more modern and sophisticated. I know several professionals, especially in the medical field that use drug cocktails to keep them awake, sharp and mentally focused .... the use another batch to bring them down and on and on. The military is also famous for this.
I can only imagine what this guy in Brussels had in his system when he went berserk
I'll comment on the military perspective because it's what I know. Manpower surges (working 12+ hour shifts 7 days a week) are meant to be implemented for days or weeks, not long-term. After a handful of weeks mission effectiveness deteriorates rapidly. People burn out, struggle to focus, make simple mistakes, and become difficult to work with and irritable. Compound that with the stress of certain jobs and it's even worse.
Lol, the only place where you'd have less success in convincing someone to open the bar for you would be France.
Heh, drugs keep you going, but they also do other stuff ..
Get Lil' Marco next. This fucking asshole claimed disappearing people is a thing Democracies do.
Lots of cope and downplaying in those statements.
Holy fuck this article is licking so much boot its insane.
The first 4 words really had me hoping that the international community was finally being serious about the "rules based international order" rhetoric 😮💨
Guess that's still just an excuse for bullying countries that don't fall in line with Western interests..

Who would have thought that handing over the reins to a bunch of cack-handed morons would result in the carriage being driven into a ditch.
Bodyguard is a much clearer word then "detail supervisor"
