    Lets take aside the fact that Merkel is for you the evil in person, no matter what she does or does not ...

    The pure reality is that the West has lost its proxy war here for a few years and ultimately, with its support of the rebels ... which include terrorist groups ... that has caused total chaos and even the refugee crisis itself.

    The fact is that Russia, and previously the USSR for 50 years, has been a close friend and ally of the Assad regime and has been supporting it ever since.
    Every major power has its own small and more or less bloody dictators as a strategic friend ... so does Russia!

    I would rather say that Merckel here takes into account realities that are unchangeable:
    Assad will not fall, the chance has screwed up the West himself a few years ago!

    You contradict yourself. You talked about Merkel's nazis. Now you're talking about the AFD, please make up your mind. The AFD has nothing to do with Merkel and you should be aware of that.

    Evidence? No evidence given, only Claims and constructions out of fact that the poison was developed in the USSR!

    Counter Evidence that soemone else can have done? Several ... for example that in 1995 another guy in Russia was attacked with same poison and on court it was found out, that one scientist has sold it to the Mafia!

    ROFL ... Have you already been to your police to give up the missing message "Have my brain lost somewhere"? Should you do urgently, before writing something again ... otherwise it ends in such a total disaster of nonsense as above!

    Russia blocked 20 million IP addresses. I don’t know if this website is visible in Russia, but I can’t help but notice an absence of some members who I suspect to be Russian trolls.
    Another, even more noticeable thing is the absence of @Sobo. I voiced my suspension that he is a Russian troll who pretends to be German before. Could it be that I was right? We will see soon. :)

    It surely well did, granting independence to the common wealth with trade deals in favour of the common wealth (before EEC) at a cost to Britain.
    A plaque I found at Independence National Historical Park in 2001 left by my head of state in 1976/the bicentennial thanks America for teaching Britain a valuable lesson about freedom.
    Parliament Square also has statues of Nelson Mandela and Ghandi.

    Let me correct you here. Pres. Assad received 87% of the votes in an internationally supervised election, so if you call his government a regime, then what would you call governments that didn't receive as many votes as Assad? What I'm trying to say is that the term is an insult, and doesn't relate to facts.

    As for the German government, it shouldn't want to better relations because the strikes were a failure, but because it is the right thing to do. Let's not forget, Germany suffered dearly in WWII, for committing a lot less crimes than Washington has been doing these past decades, so your country should have some moral fortitude and not just go along with Washington.

    His posts are not so much pro German as they are anti-US.
    When Trump was elected Russians posing as Americans organized several Black Lives Matters meetings. Do you think they care about black people in the US? They don’t - their goal was to divide the society. Russian trolls are not just trying to prove everyone that Russia is a mighty superpower - their mission is also to divide and create negative sentiments between countries Russia deems to be their enemies. Sobo is good at that - he posts pro-German and anti-American content. Americans start to mock him and Germany. Some Germans who read the thread feel the urge to defend Germany. Mission accomplished.

    I see a lot of people that are all the sudden supporting Trump bombing this action.

    The ONLY reason I "support" (can't even call it that) is because he put a line in the sand and it was crossed. There had to be SOME type of action, this was very small and at least made it look like he didn't just sit on his hands like Obama did.

    On the other hand, the problem both made is that they created a stupid "Red Line" in the first place.

    Russia obviously doesn't care, heck even countries like Germany and the posters from it seem to not give two squats if Assad kills his own people by whatever means necessary.

    Tell me again why I should care? Get us out of Syria IMO, Trump was the guy who was supposed to keep us out and Clinton was the warhawk, now its 180 change ON BOTH SIDES.

    Measured response that needed to happen, but stupid overall. If Assad and Russia and Germany want to gas citizens of their own country, I simply don't care anymore.

    I have news for you, Black Lives Matter is a Soros funded organization, and his NGO's have been kicked out of many countries. His intent is to arouse friction to bring about regime changes for Washington's new world order/new world government.

    Soros once said that he found the US the most difficult. Other than Black Lives Matter, Soros funds about 150 (liberal) organizations in the US alone.


    I like Sobo and all the foreigners on the forum, since they reflect the views of a certain segment of their nation. It's educational for the American people since they know nothing of what's going on and how people think, other than what the corporate media wants the American people to know. (It's called brainwashing). Sobo does mention Eastern Germany, so his views are probably more prevalent there than in Western Germany.

    Anyway American do not mock others. They might dislike Sobo's intolerance, and the bragging, but as I said, he reflects a certain segment of the German population the same way as Blacks, Southerners, Mexicans, etc. reflect segments of the US. I'm glad he's on the forum, that way people can know how others think.

    I don't know why you would not care about such things taking place. Just because people are suffering and dying in another part of the world, you don't care about them?

    I don't understand German but there are articles in English that say exactly the opposite.

    Donald Trump's father passed himself off as Swedish, because many of his tenants and associates were Jewish, and he was fearful of repercussions. Germans were the most dominant group in the US, and began coming while we were still colonies. They intermarried with Germans in Germany, and kept up their language even in business until WWI.

    The anti German propaganda with the sinking of the Lusitania, which was a set up by Britain to bring us into the war on their side, was so intense, that the German businesses were stoned and they changed their last names. Many even switched from Lutheran to Episcopalian to hide their identity.
