That would be very stupid and only explain the dramatic losses....not helping the losers one bit...not now and especially not for the future elections!

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [412]

....hmm.....that would make at least 30% Nazis in Saxony and Thuringia!

I always had my problems with this kind of "voter insulting"....the only party saying "THANK YOU" for that is the AfD! The same counts for these stupid "Kampf gegen Rechts" - demos....no wonder why the numbers for the AfD are always rising if potential voters are insulted and "fighted" against instead of wooed....but hey, they will know what they are doing, right? Riiiiiight!

Astounding Jon....you are usually very british too....what about your own nationalism? ;)

EXACTLY!!!!

And these guys/gals sit in our government!!!! (Hard to ignore)

...it's mindboggling....even as I repeat myself here!

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [412]


...it's mindboggling, isn't it!

The Greens yesterday cried actually about the results but STILL denied that immigration was the main reason for the rise of the AfD (and their own downfall).

That is more than stubbornness or stupidity....that is ideology: "Things that are not allowed are not possible"!

It looks like "Sperrminority" in both (Saxony AND Thuringia) for the AfD....they got it sweet now. No responsibility in a government (if nobody wants to build a coalition with them) but still lotsa blocking power out from the opposition benches....nothing important can be ruled now against Höcke's wishes!

Why absolutely? You only count a few very rosy advantages....


I don't know about Poland, but eastern Germany's old men squad would had been nothing without Moscow's thumb....it wasn't for luck that they all fell down as said thumb got weaker and vanished.

But yes....it could had ended alot worse, as in Peking on their monster-place...whatsitsname?

History / 70th anniversary of 1943 Wołyń/Volhynia and Eastern Galicia Massacre - controvercies [440]


Sorry, Bobko....


It could have been different....without Hitler....I learned at first the russian soldiers surrendered en masse till they realized they didn't get liberated or even treated better by Stalin's enemy...

One can't help wondering what could have happened with better treatment and even support.....but then Hitler and Co. would had been different people and everything would be different...probably!

Why not just let them go? Leave them alone? I doubt they will like you more if Moscow comes again...


Heh:)

So....there had been a hostile past?

It really sounds as if the country has been historically split....pro-Russians and pro-Ukrainians....maybe a real disconnection (as with Chechia and Sloviakia) would bring lasting peace....

History / 70th anniversary of 1943 Wołyń/Volhynia and Eastern Galicia Massacre - controvercies [440]


Seemingly not from the Germans?

It seems (I'm not an expert though) that Bandera and the ukrainian SS are seen as freedom fighter/guerilla against Stalin/Russia.....after they were gone it followed decades of russian oppression....that needs an outlet, somewhat.

Is that anti-russian mood in Ukraine really that surprising to you as a Russian? Was there never anything of it during the times of the Sovietunion?

History / 70th anniversary of 1943 Wołyń/Volhynia and Eastern Galicia Massacre - controvercies [440]

.....yeah....I guess I see it....but you hopefully too?

If France or the Netherlands would be today in a fight for independence...or better call it: statehood....they would maybe reach back to that too.

It's a kind of desperation, but as similiar felt as back then...."The enemy of my enemy...."

...na ja....they weren't alone in that! The SS was once called "the first european army":

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffen-SS_foreign_volunteers_and_conscripts

There were units from nearly every european country....

....not a german problem....this time! *phew* :)


Na ja....it's a difficult history.....the SS fanboy could also ask why that veteran did fight for the opressor Russia?

I guess the land is still split....imagine Hitler would had been smarter and Vlasov would today be heralded as liberator and savior....

I'm surely not.....in my family nobody either, nor in my 'hood....I think there should be a debate about that with a following plebiscite about that!

Why not?

Alone the territories imprisoned under full ice today will be tomorrows green plains because of the experts global warming....that's alot more empty space waiting to be filled than Europe ever had!
Not to mention the resources under the former ice waiting to be found...

Keep feeding them our money and make sure they stay poor! Why should those with the full pockets change a thing?

It has become just a convenient excuse to blame everybody else and his western grandmom when one gov is to unskilled or mostly just to corrupt!

The much better idea would be let their smart heads, their young ones wanting a better life, their trouble makers there and not inviting them here! That might have a bigger chance of success for the big, so necessary changes, than paying the corrupt govs with lotsa so called "Entwicklungshilfe" and stealing their young generation!

Leave them alone!

....but that happened before! Climate changes....continental shiftings....today's green grass plain is tomorrows ice....today's deserts are tomorrows seas and lakes....islands drown or get born.....neither land borders nor climates have ever been steady or "forever" in our planets history!
