As Russian aggression continues and Trump’s US threatens NATO, it is even more vital for a unified defence of the continent.
Timothy Garton Ash Professor of European Studies, University of Oxford
Last time Germany had a military power, they tried, and partially succeeded, to firmly embed it in Europe.
Last time? True, Western Germany was a super powerful military embedded in western Europe. Maybe that’s why the Soviets never attacked.
Imagine simping so hard for the German state, that you pretend not to understand, what‘s meant by „military power“ and „last time“ and in the next sentence shift towards an attack on the military power that paid with 27 million lives to stop Germany‘s extermination campaign, the last time it was a military power.
Absolutely normal.
I know that you are German. You probably feel deeply ashamed about your family’s history and your great grandparents or great great grandparents and their crimes.
But please don’t put your personal history onto cotemporary Europe.
Please also don’t let it drive you to ignore history of all the millions who died due to Soviet war crimes, violence, starvation.
We’re all against fascism here, darling. You’re not alone. This is not the battle you’re fighting.
I’d suggest to talk for yourself only. And you certainly are not anti-fascist. You don’t even know how stores work, why should any normal working class human trust your Staatsräson takes, that usually are not even based on facts or reality even?
And you keep doing this same attempt of a character assassination based on nothing. It’s a bit embarrassing. And always when your hilarious state narratives are being challenged.
We’ve been talking German military and you keep trying to shift the focus away from the state’s obvious historic path and responsibility, by the use of Red Scare propaganda to shovel blame onto the evil Soviets. The shit you pull is close to denial of German history.
Anything, except accepting critique of the German state.
In Berlin, there’s a growing consensus that Putin won’t stop at Ukraine
What reality are they in? Putin has barely been able to invade part of Ukraine over multiple years, and it has cost him greatly. Who in their right mind thinks he has the power to march through the rest of Ukraine, and then Poland and then come all the way to Germany?
Fuck Putin but the reasons for this sudden military buildup are so sus. And it’s right as we come up on Germany likely electing the most right-wing government since you-know-when.
Also “defense of the continent”? How do you become Professor without knowing that Russia itself is a mostly European country?
Before he invaded Ukraine in 2022, many people also said that he might be insane to try. Well, he is. He can do absolutely anything, and it doesn’t cost him anything. It costs Russians, but there’s still a lot there to suck dry of he wants to.
My point: don’t consider him pragmatic. He’s a senile man with bombs and does what he wants.
Are you ignorant or a Russian bot?
Look at the countries bordering Russia and count the number of invasions over the last 15 years.
Talk to Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians.
Educate yourself!!
Can you tell us the number of invasions over the last 15 years, please? I checked, but I call bullshit from your side.
Did you talk to Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians or are you pulling that shit out of your ass to discredit your discussion partner, in the same way you do, when you ask, if they are a Russian bot?
