Off-Topic / 75 Years of Israel and the War - part 3 [620]


I admit I had similiar thoughts....at last an end to these shameful last places and "nil points", heh:)

But it seems the decision has fallen and Israel (and with that Germany) will take part for another round....

History / The film "Nuremberg* - how was it received in Poland? [45]


Of course it was revenge!

As was the flattening of Gaza....but it was also the flattening of Hamas-strongholds, to end as many murdering terrorists as possible....and to show the Arabs what their continuing support and cheering for these terrorists earns them. Now and in the future too!

The same as to show the Germans back then to better give it up now.....

Sometimes fire can only be fought with even more fire, there is no other way!

I must have missed the school lectures about these Jews slaughtering unsuspecting german civilians during a Christmas market or the Oktoberfest...and taking and torturing and murdering hostages for years before then....

No, its totally not the same!

A good, much better comparison would be the firebombing of Dresden....the mass murder of german civilians for what and to end what the Nazis did....any complaints about that?

Talk about hypocrisy....

@Barney

I dunno about hypocrisy but there was talk in Germany about a boycott if they really shut Israel out....as in real friends stand with you when nobody else wants to, still true!

I guess our money would have gone with us then....

Spain and the Dutch are already out too....hopefully Germany not gonna be last place again, heh:)

Hmm....your typing of these words seem to show that you are very uncomfortable with them?

Here...for you:

TERRIBLE TIME OF COMMUNISM

Ever heard of these Gulags? Lots of after-war-Germans who truly believed first they had been liberated and would be free now to build a better world, or who just didn't want to bow to the new red masters, ended up in these russian death camps, as they were nothing else. Not to mention the millions of Russians themselves over the decades....

Nazism killed alongside ethnic groups, Communism killed everybody with another opinion...

Thing is, you can't choose your ethnicity....but Communism broke whole peoples and made them to little grey mouses who only knew how to kneel and bow, shaking in fear!

What's worse?

History / The film "Nuremberg* - how was it received in Poland? [45]


....yeah....I thought the same.

Especially observing the german Left....they are nearly constantly talking about the Nazis and the fear of a return to the Third Reich (when people keep voting for the AfD)....seems like an obsession to me, kinda!

Totally forgetting/ignoring the decades of unjustice on german soil during the existence of the GDR at the same time....worthy a psychological study if you ask me!

Maybe it has less to to with the real scope of Evil...but with its own positioning in it....if the self-image comes out better in one or the other as in...*shrugs*

....must'n be such a bad thing!

Imagine the contrary....a world full of powerhungry egoists....we would have been absolutely unable to plan, to develop, to build anything at all....always fighting each other, down to the smallest man....no spiritualism, no economy, no nations...no working together towards a common goal...just a mass of neverending loud chaos!

Oh Gott!

Yup....but the Reichstag too! We all made mistakes...

....I came to a different conclusion, Bobko....they are not that many, and most importantly you would not gonna be voted in as Chancellor with a for example Jehova's Witness - Background, just saying.

I remember them knocking on East-Berlin doors after the "Wende", but I never thought they made a big inroad into the german society, not even after 30+ years of trying.

The old ways have proven to be the most sturdiest, even surviving more than 40 years of communist brainwashing! Extremely conservative in its purest meaning! :)

Russian Orthodoxy is just as strange to them....

*munches and nods*

History / History of Europe and the Next Russian Grand Idea [48]


I dunno....western conservatives are mainly catholic, or protestants....this alone makes it difficult for them to admire the russian orthodox tradition.

That is btw. the same reason why they rarely fall over themselves to follow all these USian new ways of christian thought.

Europe had its own experiences with religious civil wars, of the worst kind at that....and it formed Europe/the West even deep into the on the surface atheist societies, even today. It made us different!

Maybe not a new hot war so soon....but proxy wars? A big new Cold War?

Depends on the direction China will go....right now its still all about flexing muscles and sizing each other up....gathering allies and bribing potentials...

...na ja....there is a huge question mark on that one....

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 26 [1183]

Not the US, but Trump?

After all he pacified Gaza, got Israel the surviving hostages back....if he pacifies Ukraine now too he would have achieved more than all these blithering but in the end powerless idiots elsewhere in the West!

.....not to mention that a war is costly! I just costs to much people and ressources...


The World Wars happened also because populations were easily fired up with patriotic nonsense, easily hating an foreign "enemy"....the national media had the full power over its citizens (not only in Germany)!

I doubt that very much any population today will be as easily led along like marionettes as it was common during the last century....so WWIII will probably not be so easily pushed for as the other World Wars had been....

.....at least Israel doesn't come with the high moral finger waving at Trump, as Europe is used to do!

If I were Trump I wouldn't support Brussels with anything either....they did treat him to long as an enemy, kinda...
