Thanks for your valuable input. We do indeed have two problems in the world: Russia and the USA. And as always, the third is happy: China.

@kimzeiger8350 During the Second World War, the Soviets simply overran the refugee trains of Germans alive with tanks. The world was and is very naive about Russia.

@billmoretz8718 The Russians are today what they were in World War II. Only the naive Allies suddenly woke up in 1945. The Germans had centuries of experience with the Russians and knew exactly who they were dealing with.

@corinnem.239 The Poles are not concerned with energy policy. The Poles are afraid of a German-Russian encirclement. In addition, the Polacks want to collect transit fees, which will of course be eliminated by the pipeline. I also find it crass that the Americans, who import vast amounts of crude oil from Russia, interfere in German energy policy. What if the Germans start criticizing Canadian raw material exports to the USA in the future.

Das ist ein sehr naiver Kommentar, bestenfalls Wunschdenken. Sowas wird in Osteuropa niemals passieren. Die Deutschen wollten diesem Alptraum im Osten zweimal ein Ende bereiten aber beide male ist der Westen ihnen in den Rücken gefallen.

@billmoretz8718 I wanted to express that the best thing would have been to let the Germans in Russia do their job. Before WWII, the German Empire had already tried it, but even then the West stabbed the Germans in the back.

@bobcatbigpaws5597 Democracy only works in a few countries. In Islamic states, all hell broke loose after the introduction of democracy. Minorities were killed because that is exactly what the majority of the Islamic population wanted. And since Russia has a (super-presidential) democracy, they do what the people want and not what a communist elite wants. The Russian people want it that way.

@billmoretz8718 the form of government does not matter. The fact is: if the West had let the Germans do their job, Russia would not exist today. The Russians today are nothing more than what they ALWAYS were. Besides, you can't learn anything from history because there is no universal maxim.

@billmoretz8718 so honestly, what you write is nonsense. Unscientific anyway ("patterns in history") and it also has nothing to do with European realities.

@billmoretz8718 History is a science and NOT a political issue. You already lack the absolute basics of history as science.Your explanations to the Second World War and afterwards read like allied war propaganda and every European thinks only `what is he talking about`. If you obviously have not studied history and are not a European and also do not understand Europe, you should hold back a little more. Incidentally, history is a science like any other, in which just not everyone can have a say.

@billmoretz8718 By the way, I also studied (among other places) history in the US, in Berkeley and Los Angeles. Mostly I had attended courses on European history in the US, where in my early 20s I was looked at by some professors every few sentences so that they could check whether what they had just said about the foreign continent of Europe was correct. But I had also taken courses on U.S. history where I could only be a fly on the wall, because otherwise I would have run the risk of being considered naive or possibly even uneducated. If you have not been socialized in a particular country/continent, it is very difficult to have a say about complex issues, even if you have studied them intensively in a scientific way.

@billmoretz8718 my guess is that less than 1% of Europeans are familiar with the American Civil War, let alone Gettysburg. But your analysis in the overall context is right this time. As far as I can tell. As far as American history is concerned, as I said, as a European I am the incompetent fly on the wall.

@billmoretz8718 das ist ein Missverständnis. Ich bin kein Russe. Es freut mich aber, dass es noch jemanden gibt, der festgestellt hat, dass Polen von zwei Parteien filetiert wurde und man die beiden Aggressoren anschließend extrem ungleich behandelt hat.

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg hatten die Sowjetsoldaten nicht mal Gewehre. Die mussten voranstürmen und die Gewehre Gefallener aufsammeln und benutzen. Die Deutschen wollten diesem Alptraum im Osten ja zweimal ein Ende bereiten aber beide male ist der Westen ihnen in den Rücken gefallen.
