Because that is the role of politicians.

Commonly, usually yes....that's how it worked all these centuries! But in a future with a thrown together undefined mush? Who cares, and why should they care in the first place, they have no part in a common past anylonger.

And you know how they say....no past - no future!

.....multikulti has failed as a lefty vision, that all mix peacefully and build something new, this concept is not working, people don't work that way....its after all not only the genes, its the HERITAGE! The culture, the history, the past, the whole thing which makes a people!

And the former home countries don't just vanish, these people come with a whole culture, history, religion themselves....and people just don't change heritages like a jeans!

Now back to my former question in post #148...and don't play stupid, Alien!

No, but Arabs are a white race.

What??? I doubt that any Afghan, Pakistani or North African counts himself as white, as of european race/culture/heritage!

....and why do you avoid my questions?

.....ask our neighbours if they ever would think of Ali or Aishe as Germans which whom they share such important points in their history like WWII and the Nazis!

Ask yourself!

And why should a Cem or a Özgul ever knee before some holocaust memorial or think about reparations for Poland...that is just ridiculous! A chosen passport doesn't make a heritage....some have even two or three.....

I've not seen any,

Politicians from the Linke in Germany have....so have german left-leaning nutters on X....

But they are nothing but a source of shame for their superiors, who have now problems to explain that to the media (downtalking alot)...such behaviour doesn't gain them any support or voters....as I said: stupid people!

those committing violence have admitted they cannot win the debate.

THAT! *nods*

Hence all cheering about any political murder is so self-defeating, so stupid....these stupid people will never win anything!

There is a difference between left and right, and that difference is evil vs good.

Thing is they believe the same, just the other way around....

Everybody wants to "save" mankind from the other....I fear that gets us nowhere!

@PolAm

....in interessant opinion piece today in the quite left leaning german paper "Die Zeit" about that:

(I can only post a part / paywall etc.)

archive.is/20250911163649/zeit.de/zeit-magazin/leben/2025-09/attentat-charlie-kirk-reaktionen-us-demokraten-anteilnahme#selection-1781.0-1803.229

....As ugly as these comments are, as much as they cross boundaries and deliberately escalate, perhaps some of the violent reactions-the search for culprits, the frenzied accusations, the lashing out-are partly explainable just hours after a person's murder. Nevertheless, the left would have reason to react with outrage to this madness, loudly and accusatorily. As it often does.

But most of it remains unanswered. No outrage at Trump, no outcry over the escalation of the right. Instead: grief. The dominant theme is not that Trump is adding fuel to the fire, even though, as president, he has a duty to calm the country. The dominant theme is loss. The shock. And the conviction that even in a deeply polarized society, a political opponent must not be dehumanized.

Anyone who listens to the left during these hours realizes that they are not only mourning Charlie Kirk. They are mourning something bigger, something that includes themselves. This attack wasn't just directed at a right-wing activist. It seems like an attack on freedom of speech, on democracy itself. And the reactions also reflect despair, the suspicion that something important to everyone could be lost.
What happened on the campus in Utah, where Kirk, like everywhere else in the country, was debating with students who think differently, was a paradigm that belongs to the heart of every democracy: A person stands in a public space, in the open air, in front of others, and speaks. From the agora in ancient Athens to Hyde Park in London to the election campaign in provincial Germany: politics thrives on the public word. If that word is no longer safe, if speaking itself becomes dangerous, then not only does political culture collapse. Who, asks conservative commentator Ben Shapiro in his podcast, will even dare to go to a political rally after the attempted assassinations of Trump and the murder of Charlie Kirk?

And yet perhaps there is consolation in the realization that the vast majority, across all camps, believe what Charlie Kirk also believed: that political debate is conducted with words. Not with weapons.

It really seems its only a few radical nutters who mock and celebrate....the far majority is silent, definitely not happy...

News / Polish-Russian war? Drones entering Polish airspace. [243]

There is hope....we still have "it"!

There's a drone alert in Poland - and in London, a German company is receiving a growing number of inquiries for a new air defense system! The DSEI UK arms fair in London - THE industry meeting place, and the ultimate weapons show. Also present: the German arms giant Rheinmetall.

The company declined to comment on business deals or inquiries. But BILD knows: After the attack by almost 20 Russian drones over Poland, of which only three or four were intercepted, there is nervousness. In Poland, too.....

archive.is/20250911132958/bild.de/politik/inland/russen-drohnen-ueber-polen-jetzt-erkundigen-sich-alle-nach-dieser-deutschen-waffe-68c28cc1e94fcb47b9cd4a3e#selection-2239.0-2247.104

....Poland immediately inquired

And: As observed at the trade fair, Poland contacted Rheinmetall immediately after the drone attack, requesting its Skyranger system. The first systems are now being delivered to Ukraine, where the predecessor air defense systems are already in use.

EU and NATO countries - including Romania and Hungary - have already placed orders. Germany also placed a large order - and desperately needed it: After all, the air defense system was disbanded in 2010 - one reason why Germany was able to provide Ukraine with a massive supply of the Gepard anti-aircraft vehicle. The Gepard is considered extremely successful in defending against Russian drones in Ukraine...

Can you believe how STUPID and complacent we have been???

...Drone completion much cheaper

Now, Skyranger. It's considered a relatively inexpensive solution for defending larger areas against drones and other air attacks. The ammunition is fired from cannons - although programmable, unlike expensive systems, it's not self-guided - and therefore cheaper.

putin himself is a deeply stupid and shallow.... person.

....but not a good way to access a possible threat! Underestimating and hence dismissing the danger would be so easy...

Maybe Putin's cunning plan,

....you know, I wondered that myself!

To show the many holes in NATO defenses regarding modern warfare and get the experts perking up, showing the urgency of changes and investments to the high up deciders...well, then this attack was a big own goal!

But....not all in Putins circle are the smartest of their bunch....maybe they just are that stupid?

Or it was meant more as a psychological threat, hoping to make more people cower in fear...helping the pro-Putin-white-flag-waving politicians in the western capitals gaining support?

News / Polish-Russian war? Drones entering Polish airspace. [243]

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!
