you notice how your narrative is shifting from 'we're in the right doing what we're doing' to 'we do it because we can, and no one can enforce international law on us'? exactly like i predicted so many pages ago - it inevitably happens when imperialists begin to realise what they are doing is actually pretty terrible.

'cost them nothing' is an evaluation based on ignorance - and it's irrelevant anyway because your original claim was that germany wouldn't "address russian aggression" - which i debunked with just a couple of examples. thanks for playing, kid.

another out of touch pale pasty privileged lefty idiot blaming the USA for Iran using deadly force on a commercial airplane. definitely the type of sociopath racist that would support a multiple-time blackface wearing prime minister. looks like the kind of person who kicks puppies and kittens for 'stress relief' in his spare time..sick person that one

You are making a specific argument that what the United States is doing is "illegal". I want you to demonstrate that you've thought through the logical implications of that claim. As of now that's a resounding no.

Germany has effectively rolled over to Russian aggression. There's a reason the Ukrainians are desperate for the help of a country thousands of miles away and not the one at their figurative doorstep.

Germany has been the leader of the crippling sanctions that Europe imposed on Russia in the aftermath of their annexation of Crimea - and it's mostly driven by our political leadership.
Our business community doesnt like those sanctions at all, and in fact, out of all EU countries, Germany is the one whose economy is taking the biggest hit from these sanctions. We're sacrificing quite a bit to rein Russia in to the best of our ability.

Furthermore, it should be easy to understand that Russia cant be stopped by sanctions alone, that they only truly back down in reaction to actual strength, to military power and its projection. For Germany to deter Russia from fucking with its neighbors, Germany would need a much more mighty military. I really dont think that's something the rest of the world is eagerly awaiting.

that's just another one of those easily debunkable, ridiculous narratives that the cult uncritically accepted in order to excuse their emperor's corrupt behaviour. here's the reality: https://www.csis.org/analysis/not-contributing-enough-summary-european-military-and-development-assistance-ukraine-2014?amp

it is winter in the northern hemisphere afterall.

I don't think anyone seriously blames Germans in 2020 for World War II. It's time for Germany to mature as a country and stop hiding behind its history.

this is dead imo, close this thread.

What? Jokes about the Russian winters killing German armies isn't on point?



Lol. Germans taking their cues from British bobbies: "Stop! Or I'll say 'stop!' again!"
