Deutsche Übersetzung

Der Norden versteht es besser - sie haben uns seit zwanzig Jahren erzählt, dass es ihr Ziel war, die Sklaverei innerhalb der gegenwärtigen Grenzen zu durchkreuzen - sie mit einer Grenze freier Staaten zu umgeben, und wie der Skorpion, der mit Feuer umgeben ist, werden sie sich daran stechen lassen Tod.

I simply can't do one-word message replies: Yes. Ok. No. Sure. Cool. None of these are options for me. I must write something extra. Something personal. I put kisses and emoticons.
