They should never be forgotten! Not what led to them nor the destruction they brought, to avoid a repetition of these events.

It just seems that Russia has learned different lessons than the rest of Europe...


That's nice that you feel good! You still come over as a grump.... :)

But there is no danger that one of us will try such a stunt, invading and occupying foreign lands is a sure sign of dictators....always has been!

Fighting yesterdays wars won't help anybody with todays problems, the rest of Europe learned that!

Smart weasels! :)

....it's not so puzzling when you think about that they are the self declared "enemies of the West".

The West with its civic rights and of course it's capitalism!

When have leftists not wanted to destroy and overcome all that...it's only logical to close rank with those enemies, I guess.

That's where I don't get the AfD, on the other hand....who make a regular point of NOT being leftists!

Usually "useful idiots" are the supporters of dictators in democratic countries.....notably the Stalinists in Weimar Germany or the modern leftists who still cheer for Putin in the ex-Sovietunion, Chavez in Venezuela or whoever takes over after Raul Castro in Cuba.

They try to influence the media and official opinion in their home countries with brushing over and apologize for crimes and failures of said dictatorships. So that they won't get disturbed...

Very "useful" for these autocrats...and of course totally idiotic!

Heh:) Football was my first thought too....what a great peaceful solution!!! :):):)

(Not to mention that Germany's track record looks better that way too, heh:)

Hmmmm.....then God had made his children so, isn't it?

I'm not an atheist but a naturalist, and the passion for life, which includes fighting and warring and loving, is part of our hereditary nature, totally natural so to speak, nothing sinful or wrong about it. We share that with all living things on this Earth.

Like everything with humans it can be abused of course and then it ends badly....but without these passions, this zest for life, we wouldn't had evolved either.

So....better fight the future fights not on battle fields but find a better, pragmatic, not so self-destrutive solution!

It feels like being back in Cold War times, doesn't it....

Yeah...as a German I don't want to be bothered by these pesky always smiling and talking strangers either!

In the US they do that all the time...it makes me only angry! 😤

Poles and Germans are so similiar! (Not do mention the dull looking...) 😎

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]

Hmm....I googled that....that's what I found out about that:

"Anonymous hackers leaked the personal data of 1,000 Belarusian police officers in retaliation for a crackdown on street demonstrations against the veteran president, Alexander Lukashenko, as protesters staged another mass rally...."

theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/20/hackers-leak-data-on-1000-belarusian-police-officers

But where is the connection to Protasevich? Using the same social media can't be it...

On a side note....

"....The loyalty of the security forces is crucial to Lukashenko's ability to cling on to power after last month's presidential election, in which he claimed a landslide victory. His opponents say it was rigged to hand the former Soviet collective farm boss a sixth term...."

If that is the case, and said police forces are now allowed to kill protestors at will with deathly firearms I can understand why the opposition sees them as their enemies! I

Coordinator? How? What do you mean?

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


Nah.....it started with a few youths spraying some critical slogans on a wall.

Not even that Assad could bear and now the whole country is destroyed, with millions dead, fleeing and homeless...do you wish Lukashenko would go so far? Laying the whole country to waste to keep himself and his clique on top?

You know that mocking politicians is a hobby and a duty for every citizen in the West? But somehow our "weak and spineless" West not only survives that but still flourishes, how come?

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


Also when it's Assad troops (and his allies) who do the bombing?

Where do you think all the syrian refugees come from who knock on Germany's door for years now?

Assad wants to kill any opposition....shake hands with Lukashenko...similiar election results? I'm so surprised!

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


No, they are for sure not!

People don't work that way....humans are not that homogenous, not even those in your family, not to mention all those in a country.

The more choices the broader the spectrum of opinion. Every result in the 80's and especially 90's is so sure faked! It's just not normal....not human...not healthy....something is definitely wrong here, my guess is the counting...or...as in the case of Belorussia/Syria, the lack of choices!

Ach ja, the SED won during the GDR "elections" mostly with 99% of the votes...yeah....sure....

Excuse me, but traffic jams belong to all demonstrations (to those with enough participants at least)....you are not in favour of cutting an important basic right just to keep the streets clear, aren't you?

Sorry for your personal loss though...

But equally every son could demand to end to the right of personal arms because his mom got shot. And I fear there are alot more people concerned (in the US at least)!

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

Velund, since 2020 Belarus has closed it's borders, has arrested thousands of protestors, allowed the use of lethal fireams against demonstrations and now kidnapped one opposition leader to jail him and mute his voice..

Does that look like a secure leadership which can build on the sure support of its population?

I personally think rather not. The contrary....that looks like a rulership which fears its own people, which has to use ever more drastic measures to quell the resistance...but the end is already known!

Believe you me, I remember....

The "strong and powerful and glorious" ones....

Democratic rights like the right of protest is only for the "weak and spineless" ones!

I guess as long as you don't criticize the glorious leader and follow all their wisdom with your head down you don't have to fear to get jailed, poisoned or kidnapped...

Surely much better!

I tell you both something from my experience:

For the 40th birthday of its founding the GDR threw a big party....everyone was invited....country leaders....so the world could see a huge parade....proudly marching soldiers in perfect formation...besides gleaming most modern weaponry....the whole old guard above waving generously back to its happily waving people down there....

Everybody could see how strong the GDR was....everything was running smoothly....the GDR worked great....everything was fine...the rulers were uncontested....

That was in the summer of 1989....only a few months later the wall fell....without many tears by its population at all...

You know what I learned from that? The power and glory of dictatorships is more often than not only a lie, a nice wrapping, not more! The bigger the sh*it they want to sell the bigger the parades and the "waving crowds".

The "weak and spineless" West will survive them all!
