Germany military leader in Europe!

See post 119 in this thread. One has to ask oneself why some people are so desparate to create their own reality.
I'll bookmark this and we'll see in two years. Quite frankly, I've read literally hundreds of wannabe Nostradamus postings here about how the EU will break up completely shortly, how France will be taken over by Muslims soon, how Germany and Sweden will have civil war in less than a year. And it's always people from the same region who for some stupid reason love to wallow in armageddon.
What happened to that 'Why Is Germany Preparing Its People For War?' thread? That's a nice example of this silly "I know what's going to happen" mentality.
Gigantic face palm.

 

Knowing the MI6 and the methods used by the British, it's the others who should be watching their backs. But that's okay, everyone has an affinity towards their own, it's human nature. There's the Anglosphere, the Germansphere, the Russosphere, the Spanishsphere, the Arab sphere, etc., etc.

The problem is not who one feels close to and identifies with, but that they can't understand that the way they feel towards others who speak the same language as they do, is how others feel about those who speak the same language as they do.

But then again if people did, there wouldn't be any wars.

 

Please book mark it and remember that I said that I give the EU a two year survival rate.

 

Of course you dislike Germany using slanderous & hyperbolic language like "greed & misdeeds" &"enslave Europe". I don't know why Greece wants more money from Germany or why you care so much.
I suspect that today's Germans feel as that they have paid out enough in both plundered goods, patent theft & reparations.

Maybe the Greeks should hire The Holocaust® Industry to do its collecting.

How many generations of Germans do you feel should have to pay for a war that is 70+ years old and of questionable responsibility?


"Does Germany owe Greece wartime reparations money?"

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31849430

How much has Germany paid?

EXCERPT "Berlin paid 115m Deutschmarks to Athens in 1960 in compensation. It was a fraction of the Greek demand but was made with the agreement there would be no more claims. Greece says the 1960 deal did not cover key demands, including payments for damaged infrastructure, war crimes and the return of a forced loan exacted from occupied Greece.

Germany insists the issue of compensation was settled in 1990 legally and politically before Germany reunified and has questioned why Greece did not negotiate when it entered the eurozone."CONTINUED

 

This was not the only time Russians died to help out others. I believe in WWI the Russians died to help out France. But then again the Americans died to help out the British in the invasion of Normandy. I had a cousin who fought there, and he was never well afterwards. Neither were many others who fought there.

 

Germany, like all the Germanic nations is community minded, rather than individualistic like the southern Europeans. They have their own culture, and that is fine. They should all live among their own, but they shouldn't try to impose their own standards and cultural values on others. ..and that's where the problem lies.

If the Germans had true leadership qualities, and wanted to hold the EU together, they would have developed a different economic system for the southern European nations, instead of punishing them for not being like they are.

 

I lived, worked, & studied in Germany for about a year & I don't envision them trying to impose their culture on anyone else.

Other than the Greeks, who else do you think is entitled to reparations & to be paid by whom:
-Slavery reparations to be paid by the US?
- Reparations to be paid TO Germany for patent theft & post WW 1 starvation atrocities(1)?
- ETC


(1)"The Allied Attempt to Starve Germany in 1919"

https://www.wintersonnenwende.com/scriptorium/english/archives/articles/starvation1919.html

EXCERPT "Even after an armistice ended World War I, the rapacious victors continued a devastating blockade of Germany.

If one word could describe Germany during the immediate aftermath of World War I, it would be "starvation." And yet, while some 900,000 German men, women and children were starving to death, the American and British public knew nothing about the reason for this holocaust, deliberately caused by the continuation of a wartime British naval blockade.

Britain's post-war naval blockade of food to Germany in 1919 matched the then current blockade of news by the American and British press. Even today, only a few non-Germans know the truth, and American and British historians, for the most part, have participated in the coverup of this most appalling crime."CONTINUED

 

Because the German culture and adherence to the work ethic is different from other countries. Most want to be independent and pursue their cultural and financial futures on their terms, not Germany's.

I admire the German work ethic but don't admire their overall culture. It's too strict.

 

You may have misread my post. I have no fear of Germany one way or another. I've lived and worked there, have had many German friends, but would never want to live there.

When people are free they tend towards the American culture, not the German culture.

 

Culture is perhaps not quite the right word, you probably mean the more carefree way of life in the US. The vastness of the country, compared to the more crowded space in Germany.
Freedom of space and freedom of speech is what attracted many Germans and other Europeans to sail to America!!

 

The difference between the Germans and others, is not that they work more since the Greeks worked more hours, and were known even by the historian Gibbons as the industrious Greeks, but that the Germans live to work, while others work to live... especially in the Mediterranean countries.

I like the Germans, maybe because they think I'm German, but I find their inflexibility intimidating since I tend to take things lightly. It doesn't matter though, every culture has their own standards and qualities, and they should be recognized as such.

 

After the USA had bombed down Munich the people there listened to a concert under the free heavens on the place where the rest of the opera once had been. This drove the American occupiers of Germany crazy, because they were not able to understand this German lazybones enjoying life. Germany was dead and this idiots were singing instead to rebuild Germany.

 

We have an army? Thought France has an army.

 

Winter 1945/46 some German cleaning ladies for the occupiers wrote into the snow with a broomstick:
"Hat der Arsch auch Falten,
wir bleiben doch die Alten!"

Has the arse some folds,
we still remain the olds.

 

Well i agree. And most countries in the world as pathetic shitholes, while Germany has order amd discipline. We are able to get things done. Most others are not.

 

Yesterday. You don't do it because the US-American empire likes to control - and is indeed controlling - Europe.

Someone forgot to shoot you down in world war 2. Bad luck for Germany.

 

The Prussians don't exist any longer! Reason: order amd discipline. What about to leave your brown grave and to restart to think in new categories of life?

 

So true! We dislike clutter and disorder, and our Schreber-gardens are neat as pincushions with a cozy little "shed" to enjoy an afternoon with coffee and cake or taking a nap.

 

Nuke us. The US-government calls such a behavior "preventive strike".

 

Germans murdered more than 20 million Russians in world war 2. What are they "discussing" about? Who was the better mass-murderer? Stalin or Hitler?

 

The American occupation of Germany ended with the reunification of Germany in 1990. Nevertheless Germans don't own the own country any longer. An example: The DAX - an indicator for the German economy. The owners of the DAX-companies are not Germans. Germany is indeed one of the poorest countries of Europe. 90% of all Germans own nothing. Germany is more than only under the thumb of the USA. If Germany will break down then the USA will break down too.

 

No, it's not the space, it's the culture I don't care for. There are some very nice German people as individuals but, overall, I just don't care for the culture. Germans who have lived outside the country for some length of time have said the same thing.

 

I agree. Germans are a very efficient group of people, hard working and meticulous with a great deal of order and discipline. But, for example, I like France and Spain more whenever I'm in Europe. There are other things in life I find more attractive than order and discipline.

 

Europeans don't trust that their neighbors won't start another war, and with good reason. With the porous border allowing millions of 'refugees' to enter, that level of distrust was raised again.

 

Interesting ideas about the history of Epsilon Eridani IV. But the Seti project found no evidence there for the existence of ETs, EE.
