News / Polish-Russian war? Drones entering Polish airspace. [146]

because it was mainly the Dutch F-35 that shot down the drones!

....that also showed one big hole in our defense.

....F-35s against drones "do not make sense"

The F-35 fighter pilots attacked the drones with AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. The problem: Firing a missile costs more than 400,000 euros - for a drone that costs just a few thousand euros.

A senior NATO officer told BILD: "In the long run, it makes no military sense to use the F-35 against drones." Therefore, according to BILD information, the alliance is examining various options to counter Russian provocations....

If attacked with massive waves of drones this way of defense becomes quickly useless!

Something good may come out of this attack yet...it showed clearly NATO's weak points concerning drones!

Our thinktanks are already smoking with new ideas how to rebuild our border defenses....different weapon systems (F-35 are not helping) and new tactics (from the ground)...learning from Ukraine is a key...

Hopefully we get our **** together soon!

War releases all sorts of endorphins. It's very hard to resist the initial emotional barrage, and the hysteria.

Similiar instincts to football games come into play....my homies against your homies.....all are ready to support their home team....screaming, chanting, flag waving, but mostly still happy and full of expectation....so easily roused...its hard to go against these instincts!

That's communism and fascism

Isn't that play with words, jon?

Not to mention that I learned in my GDR-school that socialism is always ever only a stepstone to the real big goal, the "true liberation of the workers and farmers through COMMUNISM!" No joke!

There is just no trust left that socialism will ever keep its promises at all, since ALL tries in the last decades, all over the world, sometimes with different names and different strategies, lost in the end....and lost badly. Never once could a socialist gov build something admirable, respectable, worthy of copying....quite the contrary!
And the apology for all of this is always only: "It wasn't the "right" socialism!"....and of course followed by: "Next time we will make it better"! That just doesn't work anymore....

Maybe its time to throw that whole ideology with its holy book (Das Kapital) and their saints (Marx/Engels) at last into the bin of history!

Oh, your eternal optimism, BB! :)

....but what I mean is better not making the past between your peoples the one and only viewpoint from where to watch the development, but look at all of the movements on that chess board called world politics!

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [392]

why can't we?

The former Cold War lines and sides weren't so clear cut chosen from the beginning either, Torqi!

And the West is still in the starting boxes....confused, arguing, scratching heads...some even haven't acknowledge this new realties yet.....and even back then there were also the so called neutral states.

What I think would happen when Ukraine loses is motivating Russia to repeat that game move....here...in Europe...in our neighbourhood....after all they just gained a big point, why not trying it again? Our future safety would depend on the mood in the Kremlin!

On the other hand with Russia losing, that would send a clear signal...not here....not Europe...make your proxy wars elsewhere again, but not in our 'hood!

That would mean Ukraine would become the first clearly drawn border of the so called new world...and all behind would be safe.

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [392]

If only it was so easy, BB. If only.

Thats the thing, I truly think it is....if you see the world with a view of a new developing Cold War, then Ukraine is only one of many coming proxy wars. Every victory, every loss draws the borders of this new world new. One side gains a point, the other loses that point, but it doesn't end that new global rivalry. The next "match" is already in the planning, somewhere...maybe even near(er) you....

When you cut out all the propaganda, all the arguments....which side (and not only Ukraine or any other pawn in this new chess game for the world) would you want to win in the end (even probably decades we most probably wouldn't even be alive anymore to see)?

It isn't about Ukraine alone...not really....

Can anyone answer the question already?

I guess there are two answers possible....a consequence of ones wants and wishes and mentality, whats really important to him....just survival? You can surely live your life within a victorous russian-new Chinese-Empire, whatever....but I guess at least as many people prefer to live in a victorious West!

So....the question is, whom do you want to win? There ist you answer...

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1410]

Speech may be free, however the violence which it could incite, isn't

The "could" is the problematic point!

You can't just decide from your own political leanings what is "violence" or maybe "defense" or "prevention" or whatever!

Ever heard of Maja T?

...What happened in Hungary

T. was arrested in Berlin in December 2023. The case concerns acts allegedly committed in Hungary in February 2023. At that time, T. is said to have traveled to Budapest with a group of people. The group is reported to have committed a total of five crimes over several days at different crime scenes in different constellations. The Dresden public prosecutor's office has received around 950 hours of video footage from the Hungarians. The videos allegedly show T. during and after the crimes and in an Airbnb apartment. The group is said to have attacked people from the far-right scene with telescopic batons. The alleged perpetrators are classified by the authorities as left-wing extremists. The group is said to have formed around Lina E., who has since been convicted, in Jena.....

Declare one an enemy and you can bash heads in to your hearts content....it would be not real bad "violence" after all, but needed "defense" and in the case of some "Nazis" even "necessary prevention"....right???

Maja T. is actually widely supported by the Left...no talk of being a hate-crime or speech inciting violence...nothing....of course not, she did hurt the right ones, right?

The moment speech gets canceled/forbidden/punished for the possibilites it is always misused and abused for political uses, just wrong!

fix what is broken but destroy it at the expense of values that lie at the heart of our constitution. That is not acceptable and never will be.

You know.....I feel more threatened by a Linke who openly wants to abolish the capitalist system and reinstate socialism aka GDR 2.0....still, this party is not threatened by a Verbot and is totally a coalition possibiltiy for the mainstream parties, if need be also for the CDU.

In discussions about capitalism and socialism you often hear "let the people decide"....

You are not fooling anybody!

I'm bowing out here....Gute Nacht all

It wasn't though. The murder of people trying to escape the GDR was in fact illegal even by the laws of the GDR.

Oh please....then why did it happen again and again with the killers getting rewarded? Ever heard of the "Schießbefehl"???

§ 27 des Grenzgesetzes von 1982

The GDR's "shoot-to-kill" order was an order to border guards to use firearms to secure the border and arrest or kill refugees in the event of attempted escape. Officially, the GDR denied the existence of the shoot-to-kill order, but it became a reality through laws (such as the 1982 Border Law), orders, rewards for killed refugees, and ideological influence on soldiers....

verfassungen.de/ddr/staatsgrenze82.htm

[quote....](2) Die Anwendung der Schußwaffe ist gerechtfertigt, um die unmittelbar bevorstehende Ausführung oder die Fortsetzung einer Straftat zu verhindern, die sich den Umständen nach als ein Verbrechen darstellt. Sie ist auch gerechtfertigt zur Ergreifung von Personen, die eines Verbrechens dringend verdächtig sind....[/quote]
Meaning everybody declared an "enemy of the state" by the gov in East-Berlin....it was easy to become a criminal, wanting to leave was already a crime!

Stop the BS, Tacitus! I don't take THAT one lightly... the last victim, Chris Gueffroy was killed near my 'hood....I could practically hear the shots!

The murderer and their superiors and the responsible gov politicians got only problems AFTER they lost....

Look at the wording Tacitus...it sounds so clear and nice and upstanding....could stand like that also in the german Verfassung, right?

How many years would I serve in a German prison for this post?

....I actually had to google that!

Since in the US/ american fora such pics and opinions are not forbidden a German posting them could still be hunted and punished in Germany if he actually acts as a Nazi extremist, fighting against the german gov actively and violently, threatening the german public security and such....

Difficult juristic thing....but I guess most PF-Germans are to old for that ****....

I'd argue there is difference between calling Biermann or Höcke a fascist.

Of course calling something/somebody as one likes won't help, Tac.....the GDR was also not democratic, and the opposition no western paid-Nazis....no matter the calling from above.

And I don't understand why some people fall for this narrative of the AfD, when the parallels to 1933 are also much more obvious.

That's the thing....for me its the other way around....and I guess thats so for many still-living Ossis....after all the Nazis are all dead now, but many former SED'ler and their victims are still between the living.

That explains to me also the sympathy many Ossis have for the AfD nowadays....for them it's more like the former opposition and the actual Berliner gov (no matter the coalition colours) is again the enemy!
All the name calling and Verbot-threats from the mainstream are for them just not new, rather creepily familiar!

...a popular democratic revolution against a corrupt and failing dictatorship that kept its' people imprisoned...

NOW you call it that! But back then it was of course the other way around with the opposition the big bad devil which wants to destroy everything the good people worked so hard for...

(even today many german Lefties look back with sympathy and sadness...grieving the loss of the GDR....Reichinnek even wants to repeat it!)

whereas the GDR persecuted people even in direct violation of its' own laws, it is certainly too early to say that.

Tacitus...in the GDR it was lawful to murder people who only wanted to leave...to shoot them in the back....that was totally lawful and supported by the gov and the media...it was for a good cause after all!

The GDR collapsed not because it persecuted the opposition, but because it was a failing system

....of course....in the past good years of Germany there was no AfD and the extremists were in the one-digit-percentage after elections.

A failing state and a rising opposition belong together. Thing is what to change and fight? The failing state or the opposition?

By political standards, that is no time at all.

....hence their fast and enormous rising is a clear sign! It seems people have only waited for her.....

this will remain impossible.

....I guess it will start in Sachsen-Anhalt with a coalition with the BSW.....

.....experience of an Ossi who was socialized in these Wende-Times....

I dunno about you, but I remember the gov calling the opposition Nazis too...opposition parties were of course "verboten", so was to listen to the "wrong" media....politicial education was a big part in the school curriculum...clear one-sided messages daily in "Aktuelle Kamera" and the "Neues Deutschland"....no talking with/demonisatzion of other opinions till up to Berufsverbote/jailing/expulsion....and of course it was a good fight for a good cause, the best cause at all, the "DEMOCRATIC" socialism needed to be rescued from its many (often foreign paid) enemies!!!

Sounds familiar?

Most things of what many Westerner now ask for in their fight against the AfD the GDR had already implemented against the opposition...for years....thing is, it didn't work....not in the long run!

And yet, people got even more disgruntled, disappointed, even hostile....their number grew and grew....in the end only the army could have kept Honecker and Co. in power....

Lesson?
