Not more than I am one, heh:)

Thing is Putin is a trained secret agent, he made a career in foreign espionage (focus Germany)....his take on things is so much different from yours or mine or Trumps...he sees things differently, plans and acts differently....

My personal take on him is that he never, ever got over the end of the Sovietunion. You don't become an officer in the KGB accidentally...you believe in that whole thing with heart and soul. He never made his peace with the Russia that came afterwards.

IMHO "bad NATO" is as much as a lie as was "them Nazis in Kiev".....yes, he wants the old borders back and with that a strong central government where opposition is hardly possible...as in the good 'ol times!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


....na ja...."global" might be abit to much in that regard....but wanting to regain its old european "sphere of influence" definitely!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


Yup....here...*waves wildly*

The BILD reported early....at that it was still unclear where Maduro was, so people speculated that Moscow might become abit "cramped" with Assad, Maduro and later maybe also Khamenei living there, heh:)

"Dictators united!"...but on the other hand it doesn't look good for Putin's global plans...his "dominoes" at risk or already fallen....

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


.....pure gold! Maybe a treasure! :)

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


Thing is, "sly" is not a word I would connect Trump with...but I might be totally wrong here...maybe Venezuela was/is still a huge red herring....who knows....

Nah....thats just not true! There have been ongoing sanctions since 2017, as the scope of the ongoing human rights abuses by the Maduro regime became known!

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [501]


As I said before, you have no idea what life under a dictatorship is like, Bobko....

Btw. that Germany that you so admire was the US colony part! Thanks to being the US colony part!

Why no talk about the eastern part? That part "liberated" and "free" of the US imperialism, huh?


I want the best for my country, you definitely NOT!

In my strictly personal opinion the Mullahs in Teheran are about the next dominoe to fall, in this actual global game...

One should always have an eye on the events there!


bild.de/politik/ausland-und-internationales/weg-mit-den-mullahs-nach-diesem-koenig-rufen-jetzt-die-iraner-695d50a2e0f90a884bc5df97


The former "unholy trinity" Venezuela-Iran-Russia....each supporting each other, needing each other....the first has already fallen...Iran next? What then of Russia?


.....I'm somewhat sure he will do more than only passively swallowing some insult...he is a rare leader who is actually schooled and trained in that "game"!

Just passively sitting and reacting to anything Trump does isn't going to help him...I wonder what his next planned move will be!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


...yeah.....you are probably right....

That tension is killing me! :)

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [501]

....West-Germany was in-officially occupied and part of the US imperialism....I never heard anyome complain, quite the contrary...

So...*polishes nails*

Could it be....just loud thinking....maybe a nuke??? (Or important parts to build one)

What else needs nowadays still such a bruhaha...


...very important and needed to kept secret!!!

An army at war without enough fuel.....that could become the way to end it.....

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


That is a soap opera in the making:


bild.de/politik/ausland-und-internationales/putins-tanker-war-wohl-fuer-iranisches-militaer-unterwegs-695e987bdf37c2b4e268ce1a


There will be a movie about it....I tell you!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


It would be a "helping hand", the rest is for the iranian people to achieve....everything more would need a bloody invasion, with uncounted victims and destruction.

The alternative would be, as always, doing absolutely nothing....only giving highly moralic declarations of some peace and human rights who nobody ever reads or cares for as the dictators keep on murdering and opressing whole peoples!


....and since you are seemingly unable to discuss without resorting to insults I'm bowing out here!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]

....who knows, it might come to that, heh:)

But my bet lays with the old EU....the "wind of change" is also blowing through Brussels, And with nearly every election in the member countries those forces who acknowledge the need and will for reforms grow stronger....its just that it needs time...oh so much time...


Really! That is your proof that he is worse than Putin and Xi?

Well...here we have to disagree! Better a poltering loudmouth than a smiling snake....

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]

@Paulina

Now a question of mine....if tomorrow Trump would start another Delta-Unit-Operation to remove successully and without much bloodshed the leading Mullah(s) from power in Teheran, hence supporting the rising iranian opposition, already protesting for freedom on the streets....helping them to get their country and their democracy back....what would be your thoughts in that case?

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


My personal opinion: Trump is an undiplomatic loudmouth, who often just speaks out what thoughts at the second flouts through his head.

But he important thing are his actions, can we please agree on that?

Putin or X for example are the complete different....both are fake smiler, especially good with cautious, long prepared lies....so, who is worse and truly more dangerous to the free world?

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


Thing is...we would need a vote about this....and the outcome would need to be unanimous....so...I doubt that would happen, ever!

In conclusion the change has to come from the inside....there is no other way!

Or maybe an alternative would need to be started from the outside...a new organization, maybe our confederation, set up by a few countries only first? Gaining in rivalry to the old EU? Showing that it is better? I dunno...

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


Agreed, the EU has the potential to be one of the big global players, but for that to become it needs reforms!


Frankly I am not so sure they do that consciously....these big changes are coming fast, our reactions on the other hand are slow. But that error is build into our system...


I would like that very much!! :)

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


Agreed...a good point of view to build an opinion! Better than "maybe's" and "could be's" anyhow....


Na ja, then he won't have anything to fear in the upcoming trial...

Screaming loudly about human rights and international law the moment the true Baddie is removed from power, but having ignored his murdering and opressing all the years before, not caring for his victims at all, that is for me unhinged and just highly mendacious and despicable, sorry!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


Lets Trump first actually invade and start murdering greenlandian civilians with the goal to opress and impoverish them before declaring him a Baddie...then I'm with you, promised!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


....hmmm....lotsa wouldn't, couldn't, and maybe will do's in your post, Paulina.


There is a strong opposition in Venezuela, its leader Mrs. Machado, just got recently the famous Peace Nobel Prize. After the removal of Maduro she openly declared to want do share said prize to Trump, to convey her gratefulness!

euronews.com/2026/01/06/venezuelas-machado-says-she-wants-to-share-nobel-peace-prize-with-trump

Additionally it seems the actual sworn in gov leader in Caracas, Mrs. Delcy Rodriguez, is pragmatic enough to offer and agree to cooperation with the US...


france24.com/en/americas/20260106-delcy-rodriguez-profile-maduro-deputy-acting-president-venezuela

It looks like a truly peaceful return of Venezuela into the democratic world....but still without a druglord on top....without more oil for the russian war....and without another chinese foothold in Latin Amerca!


....and if it works as well?

Declaring Trump the baddie here makes only Moscow and Beijing happy, Paulina....you should keep that in mind!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


....and exactly how many countries did Trump already invade?


....and I'm fairly sure the Poles back then had wished someone else in the White House but Roosevelt would had fighted Moscow for them, not just accepted the russian claim....someone like...say Trump, yes? I know, the East Germans would had been grateful!


Thing is, who is the Baddie here?

Why no word from you about Cuba? Using his soldiers and intelligence to keep Maduro on top In Venezuela? Maduro couldn't seemingly trust his own people with his life, his bodyguard had been all Cubans!

Why no word about Maduro himself, the llegitimate dictator and opressor of the venezolan people who sells its oil tot he russian war machine to support their war in Ukraine?

Why no word about the Chinese who additionally supported the Maduro dictatorship with Billions to gain a foothold in Latin America, to add it to their future sphere of influence?

But Trump ending all that without much bloodshed, with no civilian victims, is the big Baddie here????

Please explain!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


Back at you Paulina!

As if the partitioning of the World into spheres of influences is a Nazi thing!

Have you forgotten that the World since 1945 was nothing else, till the coming of a new time starting 1989?

And that age ends now also....its a again new time and I as a (East)-German don't want to end up at the wrong side of the new-to-be-build-wall again! Is that so hard to understand? Is that so Nazi???

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


How so?

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]


Its a new age, Anti!

And your impression is the same as mine,...the world gets partitioned again, with the global big players grappling to get the biggest and tastiest morsels to secure their future.

You can do it as the EU currently....looking on gaping and awing and shocked...not prepared for anything, still wishing the old world back and to wake up from that "bad dream" or you can accept the new reality and act like it.

Gorbatschow once said so nicely in East-Berlin 1989 looking at the old commie guard:
"He who comes too late is punished by life."

He was right then, and he is right now....Trump definitely doesn't want the US to be punished later because of his inactivity now!

Off-Topic / God and Religion Talk [450]


Yes....thats also my idea (in better words:)

.....and here come the many read NDE experiences into play....it WILL be different. Surely, your inherited, teached beliefs will play a role at first, probably to smooth the transition, but in the end its all so much bigger than we can imagine, I'm fairly convinced of this....so many people can't be all liars, why should they!

Be open, Novi....a wild ride awaits us! :)
