News / European News and Poland Thread - part 4 [1043]
The whole "sanctuary" system was thought out and made into law by our german founding fathers with the horrors of the last war still freshly in mind....with the making of a safe space for political refugees fighting dictatorships, and to give the wandering masses after the forced re-ordering of european borders after '45 quickly a new home.
It was never meant to invite the masses from the whole planet, from far away places and incompatible cultures/religions....that was NEVER meant with that!
Germany needs to go back to the roots of this law, quickly....or it will be thrown into the bin of history!

Since the video about the Hamas-Death Camp-Hostage is in all media the mood even in Pali-loving Germany changes....there is no peace as long the fat boys from Hamas rule the people...and I'm quite sure, as long as the Palis don't do their own part first and kick their fat oppressors out there will be no change for Gaza at all!

Maybe the change is for real?
For first time, Arab League nations condemn Oct 7, demand Hamas leave Gaza while calling for 2-state solution at UN conference
allarab.news/for-first-time-arab-league-nations-condemn-oct-7-demand-hamas-leave-gaza-while-calling-for-2-state-solution-at-un-conference/
....France called the declaration "both historic and unprecedented."
"For the first time, Arab countries and those in the Middle East condemn Hamas, condemn October 7, call for the disarmament of Hamas, call for its exclusion from Palestinian governance, and clearly express their intention to normalize relations with Israel in the future," said French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot.
In an interview with French weekly Le Journal, Barrot said the move was part of an initiative between France and Saudi Arabia.
"For the first time, Arab countries will condemn Hamas and call for its disarmament, which will seal its definitive isolation. European countries will in turn confirm their intention to recognize the State of Palestine. Half of European countries have done so, all others are considering it," Barrot told the JDD (Le Journal du Dimanche).
"The British Prime Minister has stated his intention to do so. Germany is considering it at a later stage. We will launch an appeal in New York for other countries to join us in order to set in motion an even more ambitious and demanding process that will culminate on September 21," Barrot added.....

I agree!
Still...'89 put us on different paths! The same man you blame for the end of the Soviets and the beginning of so much difficulties and adversity, Gorbatschow, is still admired and even revered by the Germans for that what he did (or better didn't do).
Gorbatschow let us go peacefully....I guess someone like Putin instead would had send the troops to help Honecker and Co. to stay in power....no matter the costs in blood!
Where do we go from there?
Russians and Germans make good friends.

....oh my....that for sure sounds abit "rosy"! :)
But it fits somehow....there was no hate anymore between Russians and Germans, curious after such a war and it was an occupation of an enemy people after all.
Between the officials of course not, but also I don't remember growing up a hateful resistance or something like it....truly wondrous if one things about it...maybe it all ended with the "war-generation" retiring, the soldiers actively living through the war times going back home...maybe....
If one reads accounts from Poland or other Warsaw Pact countries from that time, the experiences there did sound quite abit differently!
This was a most hilarious read.

I agree with that....as will most Germans, I guess. That's why I don't see the AfD actively pursue that point, she has nothing to win with it!
Maybe we can leave that point during "What If" - discussions about what would happen if the AfD would ever be part of a gov...regional or national. The being part of the West, inclusively membership of NATO and US-troops stationed in Germany etc. surely won't change so fast!
What doesn't mean that they won't try for better relations with Moscow at the same time...which still will probably make Poland very nervous....
any German government will have to make a case to the Americans as to why staying is in the interest of the USA.

I just wonder if that would be a point for the AfD?
I could imagine that the parts of West-Germany where the US troops are based, had build a close economical and even personal relationship. They aren't seen as occupiers, I believe. Being "anti" would probably don't bring new votes or gain support....
Btw, the Left and the Greens own that position already (mostly) and it isn't really the big election winner!
So if you have the balls to stand up and leave, like De Gaulle, it is possible to do so.

Interesting scenario....but would the AfD ever have the power (or the will) to kick the US out???
I mean....an Ossi asking here....
Not only legally....the troops are an important economical factor, where they are stationed, have been for decades now....and Germany frankly hasn't the means if Washington would just say "no"....that all sounds abit off!
Who would no longer be able to operate from Germany.

Na ja....our mass medie are hardly to blame for the Kacinsky brothers, etc.
It's a fact...every nationalist proud-Pole-Party-Politician makes a career of being also anti-German....it seems as if one includes the other automatically....our mass media of course report on that, but they don't build that!
Not business, no.....but putting your security in someones hands? Sure!
Why not?
Russia suffered under Germans as much as Poland did....why are Russians willing to make good relations with Germany but Poland is unable/unwilling to?
Blame your mass media for that.

Wouldn't that be the best for both of us!!!
But for that Poland definitely needs to change its medial tune...in Germany Poland sadly is seen mainly as "hater"....that Poles still dislike/hate Germans/Germany! Not as someone to build a close, trusting relationship with.
Thats the thing....even today Putin's Russia still tries to woo Germans, with possible future relations in mind, as curious as it sounds, its a fact!
Germany would reap the benefits while Poland assumes the role of defending Europe from Russia.

As much as the AfD would righten some things gone seriously wrong inside Germany during the last decades, it could complicate our outside relationships...*looking at Poland*
AfD thinks a good understanding with Russia would be alot more beneficial for german security and economy than being part of the West is, no matter who rules in Moscow!
(Or at least alot in the AfD think that way today, that doesn't mean that once the AfD would be in power she hasn't to take a more realistic stance and correct these points!)
