Assad junior inherited his pro-Russia puppet regime from his blood soaked America hating father, North Korea style. Assad’s tanks were soviet. His aircraft were soviet. His artillery was soviet. When the murderous shit fled for his life, it was to Russia he fled.
(Though I do vividly remember Obama warning him in 2012 that using poison gas would be a red line. In 2013 Assad used poison gas. Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama decided to not react.)
Now, tell me, why you think it was ‘the Americans who did this, dickhead?’
Germans were simply reaping the consequences of the insane cult of National Socialism. Germans elected National Socialism by their own choice. Germans made their country too toxic for the rest of the world to tolerate.
Ah, the hateful anglo coming to show his bloodthirst. Ridiculous.
First off, moron, the majority of Germans did not vote for the NSDAP. Second, Germany was then a dictatorship, and you still claim that the German people were in charge and your bloodthirst is therefore justified. You're the result of leftist propaganda in the schools and media.
"Germans made their country too toxic for the rest of the world to tolerate."
LOL Ignorant socialist moron. Australians did the Roman salute at the 1938 Olympics and everyone cheered. Swastika flags were produced in Britain for exports to Germany. Everyone marvelled at how the Germans had built up their country to be the world's greatest economy in 1938 despite the starvation sanctions and robbery imposed on them after the World War, and after the communist riots and murders of shopkeepers and others.
But British politicians encouraged the Polish government to harrass the Germans they were occupying. As Putin said, conditions then were like Donbass, with people thrown out of their homes and attacked by the occupiers, at the behest of the Anglos. Hitler tried to negotiate with the Poles for the living conditions of the Germans.
Germans were thrown out of their homes, and when they objected they were beaten in the streets by Polish police. The Polish dictator Pilsudski had dreamed of a Great Poland that would take land from Germany and the Soviet Union with British backing. With the British behind them, they'd lead a North Slavic union called the "little entente," mirroring the French-British entente. They took land from the Soviets in 1919 when part of the Red Army tried to cross Poland to invade Germany, which had laid down its arms, so Pilsudski thought they could do it again, to both neighbors. It was an insane idea, but the Polish government after Pilsudski inherited it.
Pilsudski asked France for a joint invasion of Germany, THREE TIMES in the 1930s. Germany found out about it the second time.
What would Britain or France or the U.S. do if a country asked for a joint invasion? Declare war. Yet Germany did not. Hitler did not want war: He BANNED news of what was being done in Poland, in German newspapers, as he knew it would upset the German people. That's a little detail amateurs like you will never mention. If you even knew about it.
Germany gave Poland a 12-point list for discussion and suggested they add their own points. Germany wanted a corridor through the occupied territory to their exclave in the east, and they wanted guarantees that the Germans would no longer be forced to serve in the Polish army. The Germans wanted referendums in mixed Polish-German areas, about which country to belong to, and both nations would honor the results.
The Poles refused all points. The Pope offered to negotiate between them, and Germany welcomed this, but the Polish government refused.
It was only when the German movement in Poland was completely destroyed and its leader was forced to flee that Germany finally went to war. Britain had lied and told the Poles they would come to their rescue quickly if they could provoke war; this way Britain got its war at Poland's expense. To no one's benefit but the Soviet Union's.
Even to the end the Polish government thought they could defeat Germany. They told the German ambassador that the German military was a ruse: That they had new divisions but no one to fill them with.
The result was that Polish horsemen went up against German tanks.
The Soviets had an agreement with Germany to attack jointly when the war started, to take back their territory with 20 million inhabitants that Poland had taken after WWI, but they lied and waited, so that the news in Britain would be "Germany attacks Poland." When Germany had defeated the Polish army, the Soviets attacked.
Britain and France then attacked Germany, not the other way around, but your leftist school teachers never mention this. The French launched raids into Germany, until Germany finally struck back after a year, defeating them easily.
The British bomb planes then went over the German troops to attack working-class neighborhoods in Germany instead. "Bomber" Harris wanted to "exterminate the German working class." Something Churchill called "the Splendid Idea." They immediately started killing civilians. While Germany had asked for an international ban on bombing civilians in the 1930s, which the British refused. It took months of constant British attacks on civilians before Germany responded.
Charles deGaulle visited Churchill's family mansion and went to the backyard, where Churchill was shaking his fist at the sky, shouting, "Why won't you come?" He wanted the Germans to respond to the bombing of German cities by bombing British cities, to give him an excuse for his war.
Then the Soviets amassed an invasion army at the border with Germany. Germany had gone back to a peace-time economy and offered Britain peace nine times: They would leave France, for example. It was only late that they discovered the Soviet army that was going to invade Germany and then the rest of Europe. The Germans had only a few thousand tanks as they didn't produce tanks for a war with the Soviet Union. While the Soviets had more than 60,000 tanks, a number that could only be maintained for a short time.
The Soviet planes could be bombed so easily because they were out in the open, far from their usual bases. Same with the Soviet tanks, far west of their fortified positions. They were smashed through by the Germans because they had no defenses built and no second lines. They were there only to attack Germany. Stalin had trained a large number of paratroopers, useful only for an invasion, and brought them to the border.
Stalin had on his desk at all times a book by his favorite Soviet general, after killing many of the other officers. The book advocated for assaults to invade Europe without war declarations, which were an outdated "bourgoisie" idea. Stalin had read all communist literature available at the time, and had tried to invade Finland, then invaded the Baltic states and forced Romania, Germany's friend, to hand over land or be invaded.
Yet morons like you will only think that "Germany attacked Poland and then France and the Soviet Union for no reason!!!"
Typical socialist liar. Now you will run back to your historical ignorance again, there's a good boy.
Not to mention the Bankster Families who had more than a vested interest in ensuring Germany was defeated. "Jews declare (economic) war on Germany". Headlines in UK newspapers.
And then vast profits to be made funding the arms industries - of both sides.
The death camps began later in the Third Reich. The Jews were persecuted by having to wear yellow stars, having their businesses and professions removed. Kristallnacht, or the “night of broken glass” began the removal of Jews from their homes and the railways to the death camps unless they had found a place to hide. I am half German, but my ancestors were in the US a century before this. What I know comes from books since I was 10, through college and in the decades since then
Well, hold on. Germany attacked the Allies. Lots of people liked Germany with Hitler plenty…before the Attack and before the Holocaust was known.
We still love Germany and Germans. Mistakes were made. But it’s been enough time to forget about that (mostly), and focus on the wonderful things about Germany. I’ll mention Goethe and Beethoven and some other superb people first.
You have the history backwards. Britain and France declared war on Germany because it launched an invasion of Poland. By doing so, Germany indicated that all of its commitments at the Munich Conference in 1938 were null and void. This in turn meant that all Nazi Germany commitments and treaties were worthless.
Everyone knew Germany’s past history. Since the beginning of the 19th century, Prussia had been on a path of military expansion by invading all of its neighbours. Do you really need a recounting of all of Bismarck’s aggressive attacks here?
Hitler had made National Socialist future intentions very clear. Mein Kampf stated that Germany would expand to capture Lebensraum by invading the lands of the East (Poland and Russia); murder everyone or work them to death as slaves; and steal all of their lands and property.
And Hitler would do all this with the explicit support of the German armed forces and the largest segment of German voters. The Stab In The Back hypothesis was taken as gospel truth by essentially all Germans at the time. Hence, the Jews were to be exterminated.
All of this was well known by all of the statesmen of the various principal world powers in 1939. Hence, Nazi Germany was a rabid animal that needed to be exterminated immediately. No, it is never time to forget about the evil of National Socialism or Marxist Socialism. Both are utterly vile and always result in the murder of millions.
I agree with you that the history and the truth should not be forgotten.
AND, I say, we (and we includes all the living Germans, most of whom never lived under Nazi Germany) “we” must (basically) return to being proud of German and Western civilization.
And not be suicidal. And rebuild the nation (and the EU countries). And their/our (our = all of us in Western civilization, which includes eg, the US) people must rebuild it and use it, also, to help the world.
I do not take the view that any civilization is perfect.
I do take the few that always civilization is better than some state of anarchy. And, at some pace, all civilized people can both contribute to and learn from other civilizations.
But to me, the EU right now has “Suicidal Empthy” or perhaps suicidal self-hatred. And that will end up helping no one. First, each person must survive and grow. Then families, groups, towns, etc become self-sufficient. As they become “rich”, as Adam Smith speaks of, they start to help via the Invisible Hand, and via sharing the wonders of their culture. With others.
Versailles had very limited effect on the German people. It paid virtually nothing in terms of war reparations, and what it did pay was greatly diminished by the massive hyperinflation of the German Reichsmark.
Could be. Now, for every bomb dropped by Americans or Russians, how many were dropped by Assad? And all the artillery, and all the poison gas? What proportion of artillery shellfire was fired by Americans?
Both Americans and Russians bombed Syria. I think this may be the one war in the middle East were Russia has had a larger role in than the US. Invited by Assad though, so the original commenter ist Not wrong.
Wow, dumb American. Are Syrians "goat rapists," are you serious? You really are an idiot. Syria was a secular country that was destroyed by the U.S. and its allies financing and arming ISIS and al-Qaeda, yet you pretend you are on the side of civilization. Probably because you're drooling over Israel. The Israeli murderers acted like al-Qaeda's air force in southern Syria, and gave the terrorists refuge and medical care on the Israeli side of the border when they were pressured, then letting them go back to Syria again. When al-Qaeda was defeated by the Syrian defenders the Israeli criminals arranged for them to be transported by helicopter to Jordan.
You support those who support Islamist terrorists. You're pretty filthy scum.
Jeffy is an idiot who knows nothing about the U.S./Israeli strategy to destroy Iraq and Syria and cause mass immigration into the West, which Israel aided directly through IsraAID in Greece and through the World Jewish Congress, the European Jewish Congress and other groups. The neocon side Jeffy supports is the side that wants mass immigration.
Yet he blames "the Syrians," when the Syrian defenders were attacked by Islamists armed by the U.S. through proxies at the border, fake mini groups that simply sold or passed along the weapons and then joined the Islamists. While Israel acted as al-Qaeda's air force in souther Syria, and gave them shelter in Israel.
But to idiots like Jeffy, it's "us against them," as if "the Arabs" are one entity, when Jeffy's idols are the ones who supported the Arab criminals against Syria's defenders.
LOL Moron who supports Islamist terrorists pretends it's the other way around. Your beloved Israel demanded starvation sanctions against Iraq and Syria, the U.S. invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, and the U.S. and its allies armed and financed the Islamists through proxy groups on the border. Israel and the U.S. caused the mass immigration to Europe that EVERY SINGLE JEWISH ORGANIZATION supported.
The World Jewish Congress drooled over the flood of Arab immigrants, as did the European Jewish Congress and every Jewish organization in Europe, the U.S. and North America. The head of the World Jewish Congress wrote laws against "hate speech" that he wanted the EU to adopt, and he kept repeating this demand several times.
Israel sent IsraAID to Greece to help the Arab immigrants who pretended to be Syrians. They gave them maps with the route to Germany marked, and with phone numbers to Jew-funded NGOs in Germany for legal aid. Israel sent Arabs and Africans to Europe.
Yet you talk about "Syrians" as if it wasn't your beloved neocons and Israelis who caused the mass immigration, by starving Syria and attacking the secular government.
Jews, of course, support mass immigration - but only to White countries, not to Israel - more than any other group in the U.S., and together with the blacks they are the most hardcore supporters of the Left. As Charlie Kirk said, Jews are the main financiers of the Cultural Marxist organizations that push mass immigration. And the main financiers of black organizations like the Black Lives Matter foundation, funded by George Soros. This goes back to the beginning of the NAACP, mainly funded by wealthy Jews, with its six first chairmen being Jews, not blacks.
Jews and blacks support "hate speech" laws more than any other group in the U.S. Jews support gun control the most. Jews and blacks support Affirmative Action more than any other.
In fact, Jews are the ONLY group whose support for Affirmative Action INCREASES when they hear that it "might" hurt whites. Every other group, including blacks, support AA less when they hear that first. But for Jews it's the opposite. Proving that no one hates Whites more than Jews do.
No wonder media Jews and Jewish organizations push for mass immigration. Jews dominate among the top donors to the Democrats. The GOP's top financier Sheldon Adelson called himself a "social liberal", i.e. a Cultural Marxist, and together with the homosexual Jew Paul Singer he pushed for the adoption of Cultural Marxism in the GOP, in issues like immigration and homosexuality.
Israel and Jewish media are the ones filling Europe with mass immigration after having pushed for the destruction of Iraq and Syria - it is beyond question that the neocons, who are Jews, were behind the wars. And neocons have always been openly pro-immigration. But only to the West, not to their racial supremacist Israel. They wrote their document "Project for a New American Century," the name given a blueprint for destroying Arab nations and causing a flood of refugees, in ISRAEL, not in the U.S., and gave it to the Israeli prime minister, not to the U.S. president.
These were the neocons who would direct the Bush policy of sanctions and wars to cause mass immigration. Which the Israeli government actively aided with IsraAID. IsraAID was a main driver among the Arab immigrants entering Greece.
But you know nothing of this. You really are an idiot.
Since deportation is the goal, is there a nation proximate to Syria the is livable and would agree to take in refugees until their nation is built up? (Just a suggestion, no mocking please).
Fatmericans and the Zio-Kikes were/are 100% behind the destruction of the Syrian state!~
There has been a couple decades of this hijinx going on, revealed and documented. Then, of course, ALL Collective Waste entities forced mass immigration on the victims and the citizens of their respective countries.
And when mass murder, and deprivations reveal the inhumanity of it all, the FM says the truth out loud.
Integrity of humanity trumps political BS every day of the week.
Good! May this event encourage Germany spiral back into upholding human beings and effective diplomacy.
There was an article a few years ago showing the alternative pipeline routes from Arabia across the Levant and Turkey. I don't have it immediately to hand but it outlines the underlying reasons for war in the middle east and the associated national interests. The huge gas field in the eastern Mediterranean is just an added bonus. If Gaza has no offshore claim (200 mile limit perchance?) then affairs proceed favourably.
1) Follow the money.
2) Wars are fought over resources. Compare the flow through the River Jordan to the Rio Grande through time and see the incentives. Of all resources water is the most basic.
I’m sorry but it seems you may be the idiot on this one. Israel is an ally of the United States, the only ally in the Middle East, and quite strategic for us, as we are for them. If you have no answer, an insult will not replace it. 🤐
I would like toi go back to a bit of boredom involving secure borders, safe and friendly communities, fair and equal rule of law, reasonable prosperity for all. Honesty.
Is that really too much to expect in my remaining lifetime or my children: I regret it may be too much. Perhaps none of them will be recovered.
The sheer incompetence of the supposed establishment "elites" in the Western world has certainly been eye-opening on the topics you noted above. Then they seemed shocked when there's a brewing rebellion from the people who they supposedly represent.
Screw that. (Still, I liked it in a way.). The world is on fire, and some adults need to step in and fix it. For our children or because we love Western Civilization. Or both.
It's quite a laundry list, isn't it. Try as I might to reconcile who exactly benefits from this chaos in the medium to long term, I just can't.
So, laugh if you like, I'm coming to the conclusion that the various leaders of various countries have been replaced by alien replicants. How else can you explain Germany, France, UK, Spain, Canada, Australia, the EU, etc?
The German people also rebuilt their country after 1945, and didn't flee en masse. To suggest that the Syrians have no choice but to leave is just the bigotry of low expectations, who could expect these poor brown people to actually rebuild their nation? Why take on the hard work of reviving your own nation when there's fiscally and morally bankrupt westerners to sponge off of?
I wonder if part of this is that men like Wadephul don't see the value of nationhood in general, and can't understand why someone might want to stay in their home even if that home has become a bombed out wreck? Men like that have no real affinity for particular places and would be quick to move if things weren't going their way.
Indeed, government is comprised of individuals who exercise greed and power over other people. The government did not lock is down during covid, people locked us down. Pick your adjective from corrupt, fascist, tyrannical, greedy, incompetent, et alia.
Weepy liberal aristocrat in ME country: “people can hardly live in dignity here.”
Do these people ever occasionally recall the actual countries they're supposed to represent!?
The White Man's Burden never died it just supplanted Christianity to become the White (Wo)man's Emotional Burden.
Imagine how much better our lives would be if our elected representatives just did their jobs and stopped wanting to "heal the world". White saviors botch everything they touch because the things they know about don't interest them and they know nothing about the things they pledge their souls to. (Reality is hard, sentimental fantasies are easy—and popular.)
Wadephul should either move to Syria and devote his life and money to building the country or STFU and go away. We are ruled by an entire international class of Mrs. Jellybys.
Maybe, just maybe, shitholes around the world are like that because of the people who live there. There values, culture, beliefs and religions could be responsible.
Just think jhow long and how much effort it took to build the infrastructure, communities and procedures (laws, etc) which made our nations civilised prosperous places. It didn't happen because of the soil, the climate or natural resources of any kind.
So, only when Germany has degraded to the point where it is no better than third-world countries, will it be acceptable to deport immigrants/migrants back to those countries? That does not sound like a promising future for Germany.
“and for no reason at all said there was no way Syrian refugees in Germany could be expected to return to such a place, because “people can hardly live in dignity here.”
THIS is a classic example of suicidal empathy.
He is in effect electing to persist in the chief acknowledged cause for the spiral of his own country’s demise as preferable to allowing Syrians to work out THEIR own problems for themselves in their own country (which is by far the more dignified position, totally contrary to his assumption).
And U$A/Israel/NATO were all involved in this fiasco, YET it is the victims - Euros and Syrians that are being scapegoated in various ways defecting the focus from Authority.
In all Euro countries feeling the brunt of this, somehow, some kind of diplomacy between both parties affected via finding that common ground that exists.
It really is quite something watching most of the Western European governments circling the drain.
I, like you, cannot see how they (western administrations) are going to last. The Labour government in the UK is paralysed (maybe the best description is pathetically drunk on their own kool-aid). In France... oh dear we have really hit the buffers or something like it!
I have honestly never seen such ineptitude. The reality of the situation is staring them in the face but they still cannot understand that the policies they need to follow are diametrically opposed to the ones they are pursuing. As for the "refugees" We do not have the resources to be the dumping ground for all the flotsam the world has to offer.
Maybe one day they will wake up and... Sorry I am daydreaming again.
I don’t believe that any of this is ineptitude. In Western countries it is all deliberate managed decline. The WEF/UN (and many other unelected globalists) have decided that they require EQUITY across the world and it’s easier to destroy successful countries than improve the third world. People are far easier to manipulate and manage when they are scrambling to feed their families and pay bills.
The next step will be wiping out countries’ debt and the introduction of the new Digital Currency.
It surely looks like your government is hanging by a thread. Johann Wadephul is correct, he isn't a wimp, he is eternally conniving to continue the importation of people who will never assimilate into western society, we have the same kind here in the USA & in every western nation. They will continue this nonsense in every western country until they are removed from government & somehow kept out of government permanently. He doesn't care what it does to your country nor to the coalition nor his supposed allies.
Every time I read something abot Germany, it makes me hate Germany. But then I find myself in a conflict: this bad news makes me hate Germany, but since I hate Germany, it is actually good news and therefore I support Germany in its destruction, but then why am I mad about the destruction of Germany?
Nevertheless, last time I was speaking with a German I told him that I make Germany totally responsible for the destruction of Europe via muslim migration and that I wish that Germany disappers. His answer was: how can I support politics which wants to take away rights of womeny homosexuls etc. Clearly he couldn't be bothered about the destruction of Germany - I guess when halalists take over, women and homosexuals will prosper.
Trully sad that people who wish the annihilation of Germany care more about Germany than the German left. This totalitarian halalistic politics is destroying Germany economically and socially and is harming the entire Europe in the process with its four horsemen of the apocalypse: climastism, LGBT-sm, technocratism and anti-racism/facism.
This lot was prophesied by Spengler, who saw the West being now in its Winter phase, when Ourdemocracy finally turns into Caesarism: "A return to personal rule by strong leaders once democracy collapses into corruption and inefficacy."
The only way these little people can be stopped from destroying us is by someone saying "Enough already! You all have to go."
It happened in the USA, which is usually a 1,2 decades before Germany.
It will happen in Germany as well, and I hope it will be a benign figure like Trump. But I fear it wont.
Voices are getting more frequent that CDU should work on its "firewall" and maybe be more flexible and open or so (latest Kaube in the FAZ). The feasability of that aside and if the AfD would be well advised to be flexible itself I'm wondering if these voices (think of the slimy carrierist Tauber for example) are sincerely interested in solving some of the problems (trying to solve) or if we have come to the phase "Things are going to be really bad and it starts showing, let's get the AfD on board as long and as soon as we can, so that we are able to shift a good part of the blame on them and clean ourselves." No question that this would work, given the german electorate; no question that the CDU-crap is spineless enough to do it. A breakup of the coalition would mean difficult times for the AfD.
I saw the Kaube piece too. Your theory is almost exactly mine: Voices in CDU are realising that the firewall is keeping AfD strong, a credible alternative; involving them in present politics will hurt their support like nothing else. Also for many things there are no good answers, esp. no good answers with CDU (i.e., energy costs without gas from Russia). So as you say they make AfD carry the bill for those too.
But can they (CDU) actually deliver change? Everything that transpired in the UK proved beyond a doubt that both Labour and Tories promised reduced immigration, getting rid of the EU Human Rights Court interference (the lightning Rod of Brexit)and lower taxes. But, like a crap soccer player, they simply cannot convert the ground play to a goal. Simply too many inner party conflicts and grifters- much like the US Congress. I genuinely think Reform and AfD exist because this coalition nonsense has genuinely led to a Frankenstein monster (as a another commenter so aptly described- sorry I forget whom!- great description!). These independent parties- if they finally get a super majority (let’s hope so) can convert the goal.
I'm afraid the CDU can't do it: too deeply entangled in the mistakes of the last twenty years, its milieu and members too interested (including financially) in the status quo or indifferent to the problems because they can afford to be. Someone like Markus Söder might be ruthless enough to dump Merz and enter into a coalition with the AfD, but even that I doubt. Situation is bleak.
In my entire life I never was so frightened when I thought about Germany. When I watch our elites in politics and media it seems surreal. Sometimes I think 10 years ago someone must have given me LSD and I am stuck on this horror trip.
Nah, they have just been promised future 'co-rulership' with the aliens. However, what these idiots don't know is that once the agenda makes the aliens all nice and comfy in their new terraformed world, they will be sealing the 'elite' into their own underground bunkers and safe rooms to suffocate/starve/play zoo....
That’s also a possibility. On a broader point, we know that the universe is expanding exponentially, so why would you believe that we’re the only “living” organisms in that firmament? As well as the smartest? The other germane point, in my opinion, is that aliens have technology beyond our limited imaginations.
Just to add--I watch a lot of German TV shows and movies (mostly via Netflix) and have discovered that everything depends on what dialect/regional accent the German is spoken in.
You know who had to live in 1945 Germany? Germans.
The Syrians did this to themselves. Not the Red Army or Americans.
No dickhead. The Americans did this. Remember? Them & their Masters 👃
Assad junior inherited his pro-Russia puppet regime from his blood soaked America hating father, North Korea style. Assad’s tanks were soviet. His aircraft were soviet. His artillery was soviet. When the murderous shit fled for his life, it was to Russia he fled.

Now, tell me, why you think it was ‘the Americans who did this, dickhead?’
Get your head out of your ass , everyone hates Americans, especially their “allies”

History is written by the victors.
Not entirely. The victims wrote their accounts before their deaths, as did their families afterward.
Except for the Spanish Civil War of 1936--39. The Commies have written that history.
Where do the death camps fit into this narrative? Or the looting of art throughout Europe?
The death camps began later in the Third Reich. The Jews were persecuted by having to wear yellow stars, having their businesses and professions removed. Kristallnacht, or the “night of broken glass” began the removal of Jews from their homes and the railways to the death camps unless they had found a place to hide. I am half German, but my ancestors were in the US a century before this. What I know comes from books since I was 10, through college and in the decades since then
So you believe what you have read?

Enjoy reconciling what you were TOLD, versus historical sociopathic evidence, from BOTH antagonists.
Well, hold on. Germany attacked the Allies. Lots of people liked Germany with Hitler plenty…before the Attack and before the Holocaust was known.
We still love Germany and Germans. Mistakes were made. But it’s been enough time to forget about that (mostly), and focus on the wonderful things about Germany. I’ll mention Goethe and Beethoven and some other superb people first.
You have the history backwards. Britain and France declared war on Germany because it launched an invasion of Poland. By doing so, Germany indicated that all of its commitments at the Munich Conference in 1938 were null and void. This in turn meant that all Nazi Germany commitments and treaties were worthless.
Everyone knew Germany’s past history. Since the beginning of the 19th century, Prussia had been on a path of military expansion by invading all of its neighbours. Do you really need a recounting of all of Bismarck’s aggressive attacks here?
Hitler had made National Socialist future intentions very clear. Mein Kampf stated that Germany would expand to capture Lebensraum by invading the lands of the East (Poland and Russia); murder everyone or work them to death as slaves; and steal all of their lands and property.
And Hitler would do all this with the explicit support of the German armed forces and the largest segment of German voters. The Stab In The Back hypothesis was taken as gospel truth by essentially all Germans at the time. Hence, the Jews were to be exterminated.
All of this was well known by all of the statesmen of the various principal world powers in 1939. Hence, Nazi Germany was a rabid animal that needed to be exterminated immediately. No, it is never time to forget about the evil of National Socialism or Marxist Socialism. Both are utterly vile and always result in the murder of millions.
I agree with you that the history and the truth should not be forgotten.
AND, I say, we (and we includes all the living Germans, most of whom never lived under Nazi Germany) “we” must (basically) return to being proud of German and Western civilization.
And not be suicidal. And rebuild the nation (and the EU countries). And their/our (our = all of us in Western civilization, which includes eg, the US) people must rebuild it and use it, also, to help the world.
I do not take the view that any civilization is perfect.
I do take the few that always civilization is better than some state of anarchy. And, at some pace, all civilized people can both contribute to and learn from other civilizations.
But to me, the EU right now has “Suicidal Empthy” or perhaps suicidal self-hatred. And that will end up helping no one. First, each person must survive and grow. Then families, groups, towns, etc become self-sufficient. As they become “rich”, as Adam Smith speaks of, they start to help via the Invisible Hand, and via sharing the wonders of their culture. With others.
That’s what I’m looking for. Said too quickly.
That latest is all reasonable.
That’s because the Treaty of Versailles was so brutal the people were open to a way out.
Versailles had very limited effect on the German people. It paid virtually nothing in terms of war reparations, and what it did pay was greatly diminished by the massive hyperinflation of the German Reichsmark.
The hyperinflation is why it paid so dearly giving the new government an opportunity.
More screed from a foot soldier from Perfidious Albion.
You do realize that Russia has the GLONASS coordinates on MI6 HQ...
More mindless propaganda from a socialist.
For a time. That time ended with the war.
Could be. Now, for every bomb dropped by Americans or Russians, how many were dropped by Assad? And all the artillery, and all the poison gas? What proportion of artillery shellfire was fired by Americans?
In the US we used to believe in fighting al Qaeda which is what Assad did. Now we are inviting the leader and founder of al Qaeda in Syria to the US
Both Americans and Russians bombed Syria. I think this may be the one war in the middle East were Russia has had a larger role in than the US. Invited by Assad though, so the original commenter ist Not wrong.
Russia was bombing the Takfiri: ISIS and the "moderate terrorists".
Russia did well with what it was prepared to help Assad with.
And it wasn't enough because the ZIO/GLOBO/HOMO BORG was more than willing to spend oodles of their taxcattle's money to continue destabilizing Syria.
How do you bomb a bunch of 7th century goat rapists any further back in time?
FFS.
Wow, dumb American. Are Syrians "goat rapists," are you serious? You really are an idiot. Syria was a secular country that was destroyed by the U.S. and its allies financing and arming ISIS and al-Qaeda, yet you pretend you are on the side of civilization. Probably because you're drooling over Israel. The Israeli murderers acted like al-Qaeda's air force in southern Syria, and gave the terrorists refuge and medical care on the Israeli side of the border when they were pressured, then letting them go back to Syria again. When al-Qaeda was defeated by the Syrian defenders the Israeli criminals arranged for them to be transported by helicopter to Jordan.
You support those who support Islamist terrorists. You're pretty filthy scum.
You don't exactly sound like an epitome of civilisation
Jeffy is an idiot who knows nothing about the U.S./Israeli strategy to destroy Iraq and Syria and cause mass immigration into the West, which Israel aided directly through IsraAID in Greece and through the World Jewish Congress, the European Jewish Congress and other groups. The neocon side Jeffy supports is the side that wants mass immigration.
Yet he blames "the Syrians," when the Syrian defenders were attacked by Islamists armed by the U.S. through proxies at the border, fake mini groups that simply sold or passed along the weapons and then joined the Islamists. While Israel acted as al-Qaeda's air force in souther Syria, and gave them shelter in Israel.
But to idiots like Jeffy, it's "us against them," as if "the Arabs" are one entity, when Jeffy's idols are the ones who supported the Arab criminals against Syria's defenders.
🤣. Truth hurts. Fucking cowardly savages are driving Europe into a new Dark Ages.
LOL Moron who supports Islamist terrorists pretends it's the other way around. Your beloved Israel demanded starvation sanctions against Iraq and Syria, the U.S. invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, and the U.S. and its allies armed and financed the Islamists through proxy groups on the border. Israel and the U.S. caused the mass immigration to Europe that EVERY SINGLE JEWISH ORGANIZATION supported.
The World Jewish Congress drooled over the flood of Arab immigrants, as did the European Jewish Congress and every Jewish organization in Europe, the U.S. and North America. The head of the World Jewish Congress wrote laws against "hate speech" that he wanted the EU to adopt, and he kept repeating this demand several times.
Israel sent IsraAID to Greece to help the Arab immigrants who pretended to be Syrians. They gave them maps with the route to Germany marked, and with phone numbers to Jew-funded NGOs in Germany for legal aid. Israel sent Arabs and Africans to Europe.
Yet you talk about "Syrians" as if it wasn't your beloved neocons and Israelis who caused the mass immigration, by starving Syria and attacking the secular government.
Jews, of course, support mass immigration - but only to White countries, not to Israel - more than any other group in the U.S., and together with the blacks they are the most hardcore supporters of the Left. As Charlie Kirk said, Jews are the main financiers of the Cultural Marxist organizations that push mass immigration. And the main financiers of black organizations like the Black Lives Matter foundation, funded by George Soros. This goes back to the beginning of the NAACP, mainly funded by wealthy Jews, with its six first chairmen being Jews, not blacks.
Jews and blacks support "hate speech" laws more than any other group in the U.S. Jews support gun control the most. Jews and blacks support Affirmative Action more than any other.
In fact, Jews are the ONLY group whose support for Affirmative Action INCREASES when they hear that it "might" hurt whites. Every other group, including blacks, support AA less when they hear that first. But for Jews it's the opposite. Proving that no one hates Whites more than Jews do.
No wonder media Jews and Jewish organizations push for mass immigration. Jews dominate among the top donors to the Democrats. The GOP's top financier Sheldon Adelson called himself a "social liberal", i.e. a Cultural Marxist, and together with the homosexual Jew Paul Singer he pushed for the adoption of Cultural Marxism in the GOP, in issues like immigration and homosexuality.
Israel and Jewish media are the ones filling Europe with mass immigration after having pushed for the destruction of Iraq and Syria - it is beyond question that the neocons, who are Jews, were behind the wars. And neocons have always been openly pro-immigration. But only to the West, not to their racial supremacist Israel. They wrote their document "Project for a New American Century," the name given a blueprint for destroying Arab nations and causing a flood of refugees, in ISRAEL, not in the U.S., and gave it to the Israeli prime minister, not to the U.S. president.
These were the neocons who would direct the Bush policy of sanctions and wars to cause mass immigration. Which the Israeli government actively aided with IsraAID. IsraAID was a main driver among the Arab immigrants entering Greece.
But you know nothing of this. You really are an idiot.
You are the fucking coward with an IQ of room temperature...
In Celsius!
Whats up with the name calling?
Since deportation is the goal, is there a nation proximate to Syria the is livable and would agree to take in refugees until their nation is built up? (Just a suggestion, no mocking please).
When the Israeli's have to become "Mediterrainean Sea Pedestrians" will you accept them in your community?
They will end up treating you no different than Palestinians.
You are Amalek, just like 99.8% of the planet that are not Jews.
Not sure how that could be so, and not looking for an explanation.
Why do I are about Syrians ? Where is Syria anyway ?
Yall never bin outsida Arkansas
I'd say you have f*cked up.
Then Euge gives you a solid?
Fatmericans and the Zio-Kikes were/are 100% behind the destruction of the Syrian state!~
There has been a couple decades of this hijinx going on, revealed and documented. Then, of course, ALL Collective Waste entities forced mass immigration on the victims and the citizens of their respective countries.
And when mass murder, and deprivations reveal the inhumanity of it all, the FM says the truth out loud.
Integrity of humanity trumps political BS every day of the week.
Good! May this event encourage Germany spiral back into upholding human beings and effective diplomacy.
There was an article a few years ago showing the alternative pipeline routes from Arabia across the Levant and Turkey. I don't have it immediately to hand but it outlines the underlying reasons for war in the middle east and the associated national interests. The huge gas field in the eastern Mediterranean is just an added bonus. If Gaza has no offshore claim (200 mile limit perchance?) then affairs proceed favourably.
1) Follow the money.
2) Wars are fought over resources. Compare the flow through the River Jordan to the Rio Grande through time and see the incentives. Of all resources water is the most basic.
Palestine does! They are the owners of Palestine and its 200 mile limit.
Israel is an illegal barbarous entity.
Unless of course the dregs of humanity will do anything for a buck.
And they are.
Beat me to it
Actually, the Americans played a central role in destroying Syria.
Now who is going to rebuild Syria for the Syrians?
Perhaps we could send them our Turks who did such a great job rebuilding Germany.
It was the Israeli’s a their vassal state the US , you complete idiot
I’m sorry but it seems you may be the idiot on this one. Israel is an ally of the United States, the only ally in the Middle East, and quite strategic for us, as we are for them. If you have no answer, an insult will not replace it. 🤐
Cretinous Zionist troll
It gets better all the time.
What a time to be alive.
I really can't believe what has happened in the last 6 years or so.
There was I wondering if I'd be bored in retirement, but no -
Covid Clown World/mmRNA gene therapies.
Net Zero.
Ukraine.
WEF.
Unlimited Immigration.
Gates/Soros et al.
Many thanks to the perpetrators of the above - I'm so energised by it all.
I would like toi go back to a bit of boredom involving secure borders, safe and friendly communities, fair and equal rule of law, reasonable prosperity for all. Honesty.
Is that really too much to expect in my remaining lifetime or my children: I regret it may be too much. Perhaps none of them will be recovered.
I suspect that many, if not most, sane people would very much like to "go back" to quieter, saner times.
Give me the 70’s anyday.
Me too
Davison's comment has the earmarks of dark sarcasm, which I can appreciate.
Hear ya,,,are we not being "entertained" sadly the costs of being a "multicultural "tower of Babel" !!!!!!!
Net zero . Germany pays 3X Americans and 5 X Chinese for the same electricity.
Germany blows up the green clean nukes as China builds one new coal plant …per week
I would love to bored and not interested in all this madness.
The sheer incompetence of the supposed establishment "elites" in the Western world has certainly been eye-opening on the topics you noted above. Then they seemed shocked when there's a brewing rebellion from the people who they supposedly represent.
Digital marcs yet?
Screw that. (Still, I liked it in a way.). The world is on fire, and some adults need to step in and fix it. For our children or because we love Western Civilization. Or both.
Enough Suicidal Empathy.
It's quite a laundry list, isn't it. Try as I might to reconcile who exactly benefits from this chaos in the medium to long term, I just can't.
So, laugh if you like, I'm coming to the conclusion that the various leaders of various countries have been replaced by alien replicants. How else can you explain Germany, France, UK, Spain, Canada, Australia, the EU, etc?
All WEF converts.
Drugs.
The German people also rebuilt their country after 1945, and didn't flee en masse. To suggest that the Syrians have no choice but to leave is just the bigotry of low expectations, who could expect these poor brown people to actually rebuild their nation? Why take on the hard work of reviving your own nation when there's fiscally and morally bankrupt westerners to sponge off of?
I wonder if part of this is that men like Wadephul don't see the value of nationhood in general, and can't understand why someone might want to stay in their home even if that home has become a bombed out wreck? Men like that have no real affinity for particular places and would be quick to move if things weren't going their way.
I know some high value human capital Syrians who are heading back to rebuild the country. They are not the whiny infants the left want them to be.
Yes, and when they listen to him and get convinced they can no longer abide their condition, what then? Victims galore.
"Merz said that … if these lines did not converge during the current legislative period, one would have to say that “This government has failed.”
Hmmm...pretty sure that's what always ends up happening when you choose socialism as an economic policy.
'Socialism has created the illusion of quenching people's thirst for justice:
Socialism has lulled their conscience into thinking that the steamroller which is about to flatten them is a blessing in disguise, a salvation."
- Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Socialism is resentment disguised as compassion enforced by tyranny disguised as tolerance.
"Socialism is resentment disguised as compassion enforced by tyranny disguised as tolerance".
The violent greedy must prevail, versus those that are exhausted from so many economic violations.
It is people that create the problems not the 'ism' du jour.
Indeed, government is comprised of individuals who exercise greed and power over other people. The government did not lock is down during covid, people locked us down. Pick your adjective from corrupt, fascist, tyrannical, greedy, incompetent, et alia.
Well put
Thanks!
Weepy liberal aristocrat in ME country: “people can hardly live in dignity here.”
Do these people ever occasionally recall the actual countries they're supposed to represent!?
The White Man's Burden never died it just supplanted Christianity to become the White (Wo)man's Emotional Burden.
Imagine how much better our lives would be if our elected representatives just did their jobs and stopped wanting to "heal the world". White saviors botch everything they touch because the things they know about don't interest them and they know nothing about the things they pledge their souls to. (Reality is hard, sentimental fantasies are easy—and popular.)
Wadephul should either move to Syria and devote his life and money to building the country or STFU and go away. We are ruled by an entire international class of Mrs. Jellybys.
Wadephul received a scholarship for gifted applicants. Where and what did he study under the scholarship program?

Maybe, just maybe, shitholes around the world are like that because of the people who live there. There values, culture, beliefs and religions could be responsible.
Just think jhow long and how much effort it took to build the infrastructure, communities and procedures (laws, etc) which made our nations civilised prosperous places. It didn't happen because of the soil, the climate or natural resources of any kind.

So, only when Germany has degraded to the point where it is no better than third-world countries, will it be acceptable to deport immigrants/migrants back to those countries? That does not sound like a promising future for Germany.
“and for no reason at all said there was no way Syrian refugees in Germany could be expected to return to such a place, because “people can hardly live in dignity here.”
THIS is a classic example of suicidal empathy.
He is in effect electing to persist in the chief acknowledged cause for the spiral of his own country’s demise as preferable to allowing Syrians to work out THEIR own problems for themselves in their own country (which is by far the more dignified position, totally contrary to his assumption).
You can’t cure stupid.
Nomen est omen.
What did you expect of Herr Whadafool?
And U$A/Israel/NATO were all involved in this fiasco, YET it is the victims - Euros and Syrians that are being scapegoated in various ways defecting the focus from Authority.
In all Euro countries feeling the brunt of this, somehow, some kind of diplomacy between both parties affected via finding that common ground that exists.
It really is quite something watching most of the Western European governments circling the drain.
I, like you, cannot see how they (western administrations) are going to last. The Labour government in the UK is paralysed (maybe the best description is pathetically drunk on their own kool-aid). In France... oh dear we have really hit the buffers or something like it!
I have honestly never seen such ineptitude. The reality of the situation is staring them in the face but they still cannot understand that the policies they need to follow are diametrically opposed to the ones they are pursuing. As for the "refugees" We do not have the resources to be the dumping ground for all the flotsam the world has to offer.
Maybe one day they will wake up and... Sorry I am daydreaming again.
I don’t believe that any of this is ineptitude. In Western countries it is all deliberate managed decline. The WEF/UN (and many other unelected globalists) have decided that they require EQUITY across the world and it’s easier to destroy successful countries than improve the third world. People are far easier to manipulate and manage when they are scrambling to feed their families and pay bills.
The next step will be wiping out countries’ debt and the introduction of the new Digital Currency.
The CoronaPrank was NOT due to ineptitude!
I would totally agree with you. But I meant that when the elites make policy they appear totally inept
It surely looks like your government is hanging by a thread. Johann Wadephul is correct, he isn't a wimp, he is eternally conniving to continue the importation of people who will never assimilate into western society, we have the same kind here in the USA & in every western nation. They will continue this nonsense in every western country until they are removed from government & somehow kept out of government permanently. He doesn't care what it does to your country nor to the coalition nor his supposed allies.
[hands Eugyppius a pair of scissors]
Brilliant! 😁
Every time I read something abot Germany, it makes me hate Germany. But then I find myself in a conflict: this bad news makes me hate Germany, but since I hate Germany, it is actually good news and therefore I support Germany in its destruction, but then why am I mad about the destruction of Germany?
Nevertheless, last time I was speaking with a German I told him that I make Germany totally responsible for the destruction of Europe via muslim migration and that I wish that Germany disappers. His answer was: how can I support politics which wants to take away rights of womeny homosexuls etc. Clearly he couldn't be bothered about the destruction of Germany - I guess when halalists take over, women and homosexuals will prosper.
Trully sad that people who wish the annihilation of Germany care more about Germany than the German left. This totalitarian halalistic politics is destroying Germany economically and socially and is harming the entire Europe in the process with its four horsemen of the apocalypse: climastism, LGBT-sm, technocratism and anti-racism/facism.

And female rabbis will prosper most of all!

This lot was prophesied by Spengler, who saw the West being now in its Winter phase, when Ourdemocracy finally turns into Caesarism: "A return to personal rule by strong leaders once democracy collapses into corruption and inefficacy."
The only way these little people can be stopped from destroying us is by someone saying "Enough already! You all have to go."
It happened in the USA, which is usually a 1,2 decades before Germany.
It will happen in Germany as well, and I hope it will be a benign figure like Trump. But I fear it wont.
Benign figure like Trump?!?!
The man is literally Hitler!!!
🙄
Parody, I assume?
Voices are getting more frequent that CDU should work on its "firewall" and maybe be more flexible and open or so (latest Kaube in the FAZ). The feasability of that aside and if the AfD would be well advised to be flexible itself I'm wondering if these voices (think of the slimy carrierist Tauber for example) are sincerely interested in solving some of the problems (trying to solve) or if we have come to the phase "Things are going to be really bad and it starts showing, let's get the AfD on board as long and as soon as we can, so that we are able to shift a good part of the blame on them and clean ourselves." No question that this would work, given the german electorate; no question that the CDU-crap is spineless enough to do it. A breakup of the coalition would mean difficult times for the AfD.
I saw the Kaube piece too. Your theory is almost exactly mine: Voices in CDU are realising that the firewall is keeping AfD strong, a credible alternative; involving them in present politics will hurt their support like nothing else. Also for many things there are no good answers, esp. no good answers with CDU (i.e., energy costs without gas from Russia). So as you say they make AfD carry the bill for those too.
But can they (CDU) actually deliver change? Everything that transpired in the UK proved beyond a doubt that both Labour and Tories promised reduced immigration, getting rid of the EU Human Rights Court interference (the lightning Rod of Brexit)and lower taxes. But, like a crap soccer player, they simply cannot convert the ground play to a goal. Simply too many inner party conflicts and grifters- much like the US Congress. I genuinely think Reform and AfD exist because this coalition nonsense has genuinely led to a Frankenstein monster (as a another commenter so aptly described- sorry I forget whom!- great description!). These independent parties- if they finally get a super majority (let’s hope so) can convert the goal.
I'm afraid the CDU can't do it: too deeply entangled in the mistakes of the last twenty years, its milieu and members too interested (including financially) in the status quo or indifferent to the problems because they can afford to be. Someone like Markus Söder might be ruthless enough to dump Merz and enter into a coalition with the AfD, but even that I doubt. Situation is bleak.
In my entire life I never was so frightened when I thought about Germany. When I watch our elites in politics and media it seems surreal. Sometimes I think 10 years ago someone must have given me LSD and I am stuck on this horror trip.
Western politicians have been "body-snatched" by some pretty smart aliens... That's why they no longer make any sense...
Nah, they have just been promised future 'co-rulership' with the aliens. However, what these idiots don't know is that once the agenda makes the aliens all nice and comfy in their new terraformed world, they will be sealing the 'elite' into their own underground bunkers and safe rooms to suffocate/starve/play zoo....
That’s also a possibility. On a broader point, we know that the universe is expanding exponentially, so why would you believe that we’re the only “living” organisms in that firmament? As well as the smartest? The other germane point, in my opinion, is that aliens have technology beyond our limited imaginations.
😳
It all seems so inevitable and so messy.
I really need to know the German word for "wimp" now.
And them spontaneous stupidities? Probably the core underlying explanation for every disaster in history.
I'd call this an entertaining piece but the disasters our Geniuses of Politics keep making for us reduce the mirth factor considerably.
Weichei
yes, literally meaning „soft egg.“ that is entirely too gentle for Wadephul.
Does it also have the connotation of “weak testicle(s)”?
inevitably, it probably does have a distant vulgar connotation, but as insults go it's on the mild side.
Supply correct pronunciation too so I can use it without embarrassing myself. I know how tricky them spellings can be.
here you can listen to various robots pronounce it:

better (because more vulgar) is Schlappschwanz:

I'm always looking to increase my repertoire of such comments, particularly in another language!
I just looked it up on a website and was going to send you a link, but I see eugy beat me to it.
I took French in high school. To me, German always sounds like somebody strangling ;)
Just to add--I watch a lot of German TV shows and movies (mostly via Netflix) and have discovered that everything depends on what dialect/regional accent the German is spoken in.
My mother did not fail to tell me that her brother's HS German teacher complained about him pronouncing every word with a Yiddish inflection.
Any number of translators will tell you.
Thank you for your service.
