News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 26 [593]

I could rather see an accident of Maduro...or maybe some kind of blockade...but not really an invasion!

Trumps services should have a long and complete list of the important heads to take out...

Thats from two days ago:

So true! All of it...

...on the other hand, doing nothing and just giving up to the often bad influence from the South, is so not Trumps style....

Trump also promised to DO something....against the illegal immigration....against the drug trade....to bring order into chaos, or at least trying!

Something no recent US gov so far as tackled....cut the man some slack, Bobko.....or am I on a totally wrong boat, watching from far away Berlin? ;)

Na ja....they learned! It won't happen again (most probably)...

You must'n forget that was another time....deciders were born as foreign wars were fought for a good cause (the world wars) and more importantly, successfull...ending with an enormous addition on influence and economical possibilities.

Now the times have changed again...judgements have changed....whereas foreign wars become a NoGo...the ways how to handle drug lords and their minions might change too!

That "raising" is overestimated alot IMHO. If all these radical teachings from Kindergarten onwards would be that effective the communist bloc would still be existent and flourishing and full of happy followers!

But it isn't, especially not if the life outside the class rooms and state propaganda is so dire, poor and dangerous for everybody to see! Ask the ex-GDR'ians! :)

.....still...its not only the coastlines...military interventions in far away places are usually not a good idea, even with the best intentions! So, we can most probably throw that idea into the bin.

But drugs are a huge problem...and kicking these south american drug lords mightily in the nuts could be done with different means, no full scale wars needed.

Not rather greeted as liberators? People are suffering and fleeing the regime....

Cuba would be another such case....or Nicaragua....all these left radicals have destroyed their countries thoroughly, I doubt there is anybody left wanting to defend them.

Especially as the muslim religious nutters (Afghanistan etc.) aren't existent in the US' "backyard"....neither is Stalinism (Vietnam)....nor support from the former Soviet bloc....

....I hear you....

The big cities in the West are usually hard left as the regions are usually more conservative....Berlin amidst the AfD-East is ruled now since decades by Reds and Greens....it didn't made the city better in any way, quite the contrary....I guess Mamdani will end up the same after four years.


Oh and yeah...Berlin is supported by BILLIONS of Euros every year too! Without much to see for it....and that funding is paid only grumbling by most non-Berliner conservative Germans too...

I guess thats the future....a few left big cities with alot of conservative land around them....but the funding WILL become a problem for these cities!

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 17 [604]


....interesting!

I doubt that would be possible in Germany....

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 17 [604]

PS: I just learned Mamdani has dual citizenship...he is from Uganda, and was only naturalized in the US in 2018.

That someone like him is allowed to run for such a position is just astounding.....a muslim and practically a foreigner...interesting!

Islam is at war with the West....world wide muslims were and are cheering western dead and murdered...as happened during 9/11....

Could be difficult for him trying to show where he truly stands, when the time for remembrance comes or if another such an attack happens again...

Torqi....do you have an idea how many born-and-bred-Poles made their way over to Germany since the Iron Curtain fell?

I agree there might be barely a German with not at least one big drop of polish blood in him, but still...that doesn't make them Volksdeutsche!

I think...:)

...after 9/11, electing a muslim....hard to believe!

Do live so many muslims in New York? And what about the New Yorker Jews?

...and now this war! A truly existential war a majority (at least thats how it seems to me without being able to understand ukrainian media) can get behind their gov in Kiev....it wouldn't be the first big war in some peoples history founding a whole nation out of former infighting tribes.

Wouldn't that be ironic if that would be the only thing Moscow achieved in the end? Just a thought...

That "life or death" thing again? The last rhetoric weapon in the arsenal of every failing dictator?


I'm not quite convinced history repeats itself 1:1 like this....once Trump gives the Mohawk missiles free for Kiev to use its clear that Putin has made another big error in not securing Trumps support or at least his neutrality. That would be a total different situation than all the russian wars before...

...think about it Novi....it had been mostly the ukrainian people making the life of the vaunted, totally superior Wehrmacht hell.....draining the Reich for years, till it had been ripe for the taking!

The Soviets were also supported (abit) by the West, yes...but it had been mainly the people in these lands there eating dirt and never giving up.

Am I the only one seeing all the similiarities???

PS: For decades it was only "the Russians" or "the Soviets"....but in the last years we learned it had been rather Ukrainians.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 26 [593]


....thats the question....can you see this war going on like this for another 6 years maybe? That would make it 10....TEN YEARS, Bobko....something that should had been over after 6er weeks!

Can you really see Putin after such a long, unwon war still in power? And how will Russia look like after such a long, draining war....will he still have the support of his folks?

Strangely I have less problems to see Ukrainians still fighting in 6 years! (Maybe thats the german historical experience influencing)

I wish I knew!

But things starting with killing mobs never ended well...believe you me!

That becomes Putin's problem....the longer the "liberation" of Kiev is delayed the weaker he becomes in the eyes of his folks and (former) supporters. His own (former) comrades in his own circle getting "ideas"...it's the same old story!

Do we really have to get used to that?

The Christmas market time is coming....now only with lotsa bollards against amok drivers....

There has to be a way to undo that!

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 26 [593]

....somehow I come to think that Ukraine only needs to hold on abit longer and we will see the end of Putin.

This useless, needless war...which was planned to be over in 6 weeks...proves to be such a drain on Russia, the longer it takes!

And since Putin is unable to win Trump over, the US and the West will keep on supporting Ukraine, maybe not in the offical big ways but just enough so that the Ukrainians can soldier on and keep on draining Russia.

At some time in a maybe not so far future we will maybe/possible/probably hear in the news about some accident in the Kremlin, with "our beloved leader" somehow not surving...with some till know Unknown taking over and offering talks to Washington and also Kiev....

To avoid that Putin needs the ukrainian case closed...successfully....and fast! And frankly, I can't see that....

PS: I can't help remembering back to the old tales of the Wehrmacht having such a tough time in the same fields....its in the people, they are doing it again!

Could be....that whole gas business springs to mind....so much easy available energy makes all that mad scramble for developing renewables look abit funny, I guess.


...and maybe they are right! The West should come down from its self declared spot so far above any other...not all people are the same, don't share the same preferences!
Cultures and mentalities differ....we are not 1 to 1 interchangable.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 26 [593]


....and I wonder if that somehow is part of one another?

All that land...all this space....all these resources!

I can't help compare that with all these central european states....so many cramped into the same place, fighting endlessly for abit more space...barely any resources but its people...they had to groom what they had, to make the most out of it.

But Russia? They always had so much of everything....the need to develop should never have been as urgent as in central Europe, IMHO.

Could be also totally wrong here...

Most of these super "progressive" types of supporters would hate having to live with them as their neighbours....they are so mendacious!
