Comments by "Univeropa" (@univeropa3363) on "TLDR News EU" channel.

We decided that we needed change, but didn't agree on what changes.
135
Surging in this context means that they may get into the Bundestag.
92
Macron has a reputation for competence? What? Next thing you tell me is that Scholz is famous for his iron will.
80
He lost seats and his enemies gained seats.
37
You being the first.
36
Fools. This isn't new, the US bailed in Vietnam, too.
30
Well, our European neighbours thought destroying Nord Stream was a clever idea, so whatever. We can all go down together.
29
But that would require doing more than reading mainstream news.
28
Or, and hear me out on this, it just makes economic sense to buy energy from Russia.
26
I wish it weren't so. Israel's security should not be Germany's raison d'etre and frankly this oath of loyalty to Israel in Saxony-Anhalt is insulting. Israel can and should be criticised for her policies.
26
@adamkamienski7322 In an election that didn't need to happen. What a "power move".
25
Good luck at the front.
22
@AaronOkeanos Right, has nothing to do with the spinelessness of the SPD or the incompetence of the Greens.
22
He’s trying to look tough to bluff with a weak hand.
21
Yeah, he handed the right 53 more seats.
17
That's what we get for following America like trained poodles.
17
I can only hope that the money is spent wisely. Also the man will never properly investigate Nord Stream.
15
Russia didn't attack Europe.
15
Didn't know that Chamberlain and Lebrun financed and lost a proxy in Czechoslovakia.
15
@Paerigos Who gives a shit about those two?
14
It wasn't. Soviet/Russian missiles were merely on the territory of Ukraine.
14
Maybe we care slightly less about America's interests in Asia than others?
13
Because we are chained to the dying empire.
13
Maybe it just makes economic sense to buy Russian energy?
12
@dntbther It made perfect sense. It just didn't fit into American plans for the region.
12
You are hopeless.
11
No it won't, but we'll keep talking like it will.
11
Ukraine and whose money?
10
@ivanencinas9259 Taiwan is part of China. By recognising them Spain would greenlight separatist movements, which they understandably don't want.
10
@Chrissy717 False. It made sense, then we decided to cut it off for a US aligned Ukraine.
10
So Georgia is trying to uncover foreign capital that is influencing their domestic affairs and foreign capital has taken to the streets to protest it?
10
Austria better "Anschluß" us.
9
Well, you gotta fearmonger with something. Now, if you want to reduce the dependency on America, investigate what happened to Germany’s pipelines.
9
@chessnut4886 I don't like watching my government back criminals and I feel absolutely zero historic responsibility for Israel. Also, an oath of loyalty to a different country should not be a prerequisite for becoming a German citizen.
9
It never could, which is why they should have taken the Istanbul deal.
8
We should keep our distance from the US.
8
Right, you sat on the Russian General Staff which is how you know what the Russian objectives were.
8
@nettcologne9186 We are deindustrialising.
8
We won’t die anyway.
8
Scholz is a coward. That's why.
8
@mma171 Even if we had the money, who in his right mind would actually okay that? Russia would immediately go back in even if we were that crazy.
7
Maybe you just feel inferior?
7
Hopefully we ditch that make-believe country.
7
@charlesayache6801 "Bombing civilians is fighting islamism and not creating more of it." American logic right there.
7
Germany paid reparations.
7
@bartekjedrzejewski7594 They sure did. Poland just thinks that it is unfair that Moscow decided on the amount.
7
@notroll1279 Probably the Israeli.
7
Haven't you been listening to American politicians like Lindsey Graham?
6
No it can't, but that won't stop us from pretending.
6
How to make the EU even more dependent on America.
6
If France wants debt-sharing, they should offer something in exchange. How about Elsaß-Lothringen? :D I kid, we wouldn't want to ruin that beautiful hexagon shape, or would we? 😉
6
I say that because I cannot fathom anyone having a different opinion from my own. After all I got it from the news.
6
What about Petain?
6
Yeah, yeah, the Russians are coming. We heard that song and dance before.
6
@serebii666 So basically what you are saying is that because Serbia didn't get its terrorist problem in order (which resulted in a reform-minded heir to the throne getting shot) and Russia backed them to the hilt over nothing but mushy feelings and Constantinople Austria is at fault for the Balkan mess?
6
Take a look at what Mélenchon says about Ukraine (ignoring that Putin probably couldn't care less about what France of all countries does).
6
Europe can't do anything, even if it were advisable.
6
They were never our allies. Just our hegemon.
6
@ivanwronsky To the Sorbs? They are happy being German citizens.
5
@mrbad3036 Couping a government is basically that, cough Ukraine cough.
5
In Germany we just don't care about Poland's fantasies regarding Russia.
5
Yes, because taking it is theft and would undermine trust in our financial sector.
5
@sullfolife It wasn't. Adding Ukraine to NATO was.
5
Was there a lost proxy war before Munich?
5
@cgt3704 So it isn't actually comparable, you just wanted to get a neoconservative talking point in.
5
That's true. We've given Ukraine too much.
5
@sciencefliestothemoon2305 Oh no, the occupied are fighting back.
5
@ivanencinas9259 Take that up with the (official) international consensus. Nearly everyone agrees that Taiwan is a part of China.
5
@matthewmiller6568 No, but I'm a living organism, not a state lacking recognition by the international community.
5
@matthewmiller6568 I understood your point and the false equivalency underlying it.
5
@matthewmiller6568 What about the Native Americans?
5
@nenasiek I was thinking of America.
5
Was there a lost proxy war before Munich?
5
@Blanka1100 Then go annoy Russia.
5
No, because the shadow is what is strangling the country.
5
Why though?
5
@DemonZest You mean making empty threats as Ukraine is losing is a strategy?
4
@Blanka1100 Except he didn't?
4
No, they were absolutely right. Ukraine is losing and should face up to reality.
4
No. That has always been a scare-tactic.
4
@shadowsir Since when is Ukraine Europe or the EU or anything comparable?
4
@jerzykiler4386 See, this is exactly what I mean by that. Don't worry, you can relax and sleep well, Russia isn't coming.
4
Zelensky should face up to reality and negotiate.
4
Anyone but that woman.
4
@Rui301 What a load of nonsense. Germany has been buying energy from Russia since the 70s. Ever thought that maybe something changed after 2008?
4
Scaring people with fantasy scenarios, how original.
4
@Limrasson He's talking nonsense about how little green men would be in a country's future if they were to leave NATO.
4
From Russia and the US.
4
What? The Bundeswehr isn't even capable of fighting its way out of a paper bag.
4
@awellculturedmanofanime1246 Doesn't clinging to the propaganda about Russia get tiresome?
4
@noidea5984 Oh please, French revanchism was justified? Alsace-Lorraine was a majority German speaking area and they paid off the money in two years, after which they were left alone. Besides, Germans weren't salty over the Napoleonic Wars, France was being an obstacle to unification and opposed it.
4
Delusional.
4
Probably Russia in retaliation for Nord Stream.
4
What did the Austrians do other than try and prevent Yugoslavia (and look how that ended)?
4
Well, duh. We've been told since March 2022 that it is coming any day now.
4
If Belgium falls apart, can we get Eupen-Malmedy back?
3
@onikamaraj1239 But dreams are wonderful.
3
You forgot to mention that his stock will likely further improve as Russia continues to tip the scales in Ukraine in its favour.
3
America actually, using Ukrainians.
3
@deartic1025 Le Pen's share of the popular vote outstrips the won seats.
3
@serpidesticla Le Pen got the most votes.
3
Because he is.
3
He's an American asset.
3
Yes, but that would be sensible. We haven’t done anything sensible for three years now.
3
@newtubevector Our policies are leading to a deindustrialisation which makes us less and less capable. At the same time we are closing our doors to every bigger player to please America.
3
No, the problem is that we decided to hitch our wagon to America's foreign policy.
3
🤣
3
@matthewmiller6568 Sure, and then we fight for the rights of the Kurds in Turkey.
3
@andmos1001 He was never going to lose power in the first place, but lost 86 seats and Le Pen got another 53. So stunning, so smart.
3
Hopefully he will. Someone has to be the sane man in the EU.
3
It was Ukraine that never wanted to implement the agreements.
3
If only, maybe Germany could then escape the hole it dug for itself to please the fucking Americans who blew up our infrastructure.
3
No, we shouldn’t support Ukraine.
3
@serebii666 Yes, Saudi-Arabia is at fault for financing the attack. What, do we now blame the victims? So yes, I hold Serbia responsible for the inability to deal with its problem, especially in the context of the aggressive expansion of Serbia. They should have given in. What was the worst that could happen, 20% of the population dying? I'd frankly love to write a longer comment, but since Youtube doesn't take so kindly to my attempts, an abbreviated version: Russia and Serbia were not allied and Russia stuck its nose where it didn't belong, handing out a check they couldn't cover and escalating a potential Third Balkan War into a European crisis. Yes, third, there were wars before WW1 and after WW1, meaning that the Great War was not the cause for the Balkan mess (ignoring that I will not let Serbia and Russia off the hook for it). You can find the fault in the smaller Balkan states bickering over their borders, from before WW1 to long after (as they still do today).
3
@RamsesTheFourth Right, you concede in a geostrategical contest because you are "lazy".
3
One can only hope it will fall further.
3
One more day. One more day.😒
3
@STJukes Russia isn't the main successor, Russia is the successor. Therefore they were Russian missiles. Not that Ukraine could have actually financed their maintenance.
3
There won't be any W in the east, that is just wishful thinking.
3
Who could have expected that America would provoke a proxy war?
3
@SkyForceOne2 Did not make them any less incompetent.
3
@jredroc368 So basically it means never ending war.
3
Can Russia halt it? Yes. Will Ukraine benefit from it? No.
3
@theggman111 Oh yes, they did.
3
@dntbther Yes, but what does that have to do with my reply? He's complaining over Poland having spent decades under Moscow's thumb.
3
Poland again being an insufferable neighbour.
2
@nickgotvyak5890 Right, genocidal. Okay, man. So, against whom did Germany commit treason?
2
@lumpek4149 Decades long effort by the Greens sparked by anti-nuclear weapon sentiments from the Cold War. That wasn't my question, though.
2
Hopefully not. We need sanity in the EU.
2
It's a way for the establishment parties to keep a death grip on the levers of power.
2
We are already being stepped on, so nothing much would change.
2
@Yattayatta "Frozen". Then why is Ukraine losing ground?
2
Would be nice to have cheap energy right about now, eh, Scholz? Too bad we still "don't" know whodunit.
2
Europe is reinstating conscription because of the incessant fearmongering of the last two years.
2
Hillary is still haunting us.
2
@shadowsir So are Russia and Kazahkstan.
2
@thenotsodiscretewolf2098 Yes, it's not. I live in Germany and don't feel attacked. The continent hasn't been attacked, neither has the EU. It's not even an outside force. This is just making things up to justify prolonging a lost war. And in your comparison the bar has not been attacked.
2
@joxituk The majority of French people voted against the left, but their share of the parliament will outstrip their voter share.
2
I was told since 2022 that Ukraine would win. What happened? The fellas are on life-support.😂
2
@nikodemdobrenko3680 Sure. Except Nord Stream had been built before Germany closed down its nuclear reactors. Nord Stream 2 was meant to be both a replacement for it and to remove Polish and Ukrainian hands from the tap.
2
@Rui301 Because it isn't true. It was American belligerence which got us to this point.
2
@rod9829 So is China. Your point?
2
@extrapolate Okay, American bot.
2
@smal750 You mean it was a German speaking region that France conquered in the 17th century. ☺
2
@RedXlV And the sky isn't blue.
2
@RedXlV Right, America had no role at all in this. In other news, the US has never ever interfered in the domestic politics of other nations.
2
@ivanonlyone7160 Wonderful, someone who still believes in the tooth fairy has decided to chime in.
2
Well duh, it was the US and our feckless government isn't going to do anything about it.
2
Basically everyone with an ounce of intelligence left.
2
Are you telling me that the sanctions are hurting us (more than Russia)?
2
@val-schaeffer1117 Cool, but it doesn't seem that way.
2
😂
2
Ah, the Biden defence. I'm sure to believe her.😂
2
@deutschermichel5807 For one Hitler and Putin are vastly different international actors.
2
@Yattayatta Georgia started the conflict in 2008.
2
@ Go ask the EU if you don't want to believe me. As for eastern Ukraine, well, they protested against the coup against their elected government.
2
This is why we can't have nice things.
2
@joshaijer9476 All of those are misleading (like Georgia started it in 2008, Syria invited Russia, etc.).
2
Nah, I don't believe Ukraine can win.
2
@Arteus_Hoplit Yes, that's what I meant. He got threatened and then didn't implement the agreements and got hawkish. Poroshenko outright said that he didn't plan on doing so.
2
@camm8642 Yes, this is how they arrived at the indemnity that France had to pay, namely by scaling up the indemnity Prussia paid back in 1807 (I believe?) according to the population size of France. Stating that the defeat in the Napoleonic Wars was a cause for the Franco-Prussian war is a different beast. Especially since Prussia would ultimately be one of the winners of the Napoleonic Wars. It would be fairer to say that the French public wanted to restore lost territories, so we would be back to French revanchism.
2
Because sacred borders or something? Unless we in the West want to change them.
2
Yes, it has.
2
And here I thought the bourgeoisie would always ally with the far right to prop up failing capitalism.😂 Isn't that what tankies would tell you?😉
2
@ Sure looks like. Why do you think the US is conceding on core Russian demands?
2
@RamsesTheFourth Of course, why didn't I think of it before. Biden just refused to pull the trigger to win.🙄
2
It's been 8 years. How long do you intend to believe Clinton?
2
@jaibusby673 Yeah, and Russia is capturing cities with nothing but shovels.
2
The solution to the problem is to repeat the Anschluss. Germany doesn't have a surging far-left, meaning we would cut Austria's problems in half just like that.😛
2
@sashimi3478 No, they wouldn't.
2
@pomperidus Point taken on the position of NFP, sounds like France will continue a failed policy. As for Putin, why should he care about Casear and SCALP when they don't actually help Ukraine to stabilise the front?
2
He lost 80 seats and the right won 50 seats in an election that didn't need to happen. Such genius.
2
Why would they? Russia is winning and Ukraine cannot defeat them.
2
And they fled the country, which is why a wall had to be built.
2
@bertilcoolson3922 Am I scared? No. Are you a mindless bot? Yes.
2
That's what happens when you lose. You get a disadvantageous peace.
2
@ikt123 Bruh, we've been promised a collapse in summer 2022.
1
Blackmail. Wonderful, this is where we are at by now, for Ukraine of all places.
1
@DemonZest Sure, for example his idea of "strategic ambiguity" in Ukraine just screams competence.
1
@BKYoutube-zq3yv What? Scholz keeps telling him to pound sand whenever Macron has another hair-brained scheme for Ukraine and Macron keeps changing his tune on what he is doing there anyway.
1
@padriandusk7107 Well, your reading-comprehension could use some work.
1
@nickgotvyak5890 Right, genocide. Treason against whom? Against the American puppet state that before it was overthrown stole gas from us?
1
@lumpek4149 Since when is coal cheaper and better than gas?
1
@invit87 It didn't lead to the war, that's just a nonsensical talking point made up by neocons.
1
@lumpek4149 Jesus Christ. You don't know why Germany closed its coal mines, do you?
1
@Fireballun Coal power plants, not coal mines.
1
Or if we stopped being idiots and bought from Russia again.
1
No, he won't. This is just the latest hopium filled story meant to convince us that we just have to hold out another month or two.
1
No, it doesn't. Who's going to pay for that new real estate? How is the EU supposed to work? Why on bloody Earth do we insist on provoking Russia in Ukraine? Charles Michel can go fuck himself, he can try and turn the EU away from vassalage to the US first.
1
@Donald_Monaghan90 On the American question, please, as if adding the small states of the Balkans were to somehow strengthen the EU vs the Americans. Same goes for a bombed out and depopulated Ukraine. That's a ridiculous notion and you should know better. As for your laughable attempt at portraying me as someone who doesn't understand the simplest things, have you ever taken a look at the declining share of the EU to the world economy since the 2008 Financial Crisis? It's much worse than for the US. There is your "investment".
1
German politicians talked about a more autonomous course during Trump's first presidency. Nothing happened, because the truth is that they like being small vassal states of the US and would rather wait for another establishment figure.
1
We in the EU are an American satellite.
1
@Willy_Wacker_42069 Sure, and what between now and 2029 is supposed to happen to prevent a further rise of the far right?
1
@ikt123 That shitshow surpassed Germany and Japan in PPP.
1
@mrbad3036 Unless they help to coup the governments that are against entry into NATO.
1
@Newbyte Who is us?
1
Yes.
1
Basically we don't want the migrants.
1
What do the polls say? Do Belgians actually want to keep their country together, because I get the feeling the politicians don't care that much?
1
@guerreiro943 Yes, that as well.
1
@ivanexell-uz4mv You mean American generals said it.
1
@ivanexell-uz4mv Ask Mark Milley who said it.
1
Oh, am I glad we followed America on cutting ties with Russia and China. Much smart, much genius.
1
No, we are too dependent on the US.
1
Boo.
1
@Tespri It was a civil war. Where do you think the Donbass militias came from?
1
@nikokaapa Sure, now it's in third place. So?
1
@TimEriksson-w2n And?
1
What you are saying is that sanctioning Russia was a predictable mistake.
1
As far as I'm concerned Poland can suck it. Before 2022 they would have been the first to cry 4th Reich. Oh what I'm saying, they were crying that anyway. By the way, what you could have pointed out is that Germany's army got capped with reunification. Legally we aren't even allowed to have as big an army as West Germany had during the Cold War. Also, frankly there is no pressing need because Germany isn't threatened by Russia, no matter what the media wants us to believe.
1
The SPD is only in power because the Union and the Greens both managed to sank their election campaigns shortly before the election.
1
I can only hope that we get rid of that spineless loser Scholz, even if I doubt that the next guy is going to right the ship.
1
@serpidesticla "Will of the people": the party with a share of 37% of the vote has fewer seats than the party with 24% of the vote.
1
@serpidesticla Le Pen won more votes than Macron or the left, yet has fewer seats. How's that the will of the people?
1
@joxituk Wildly overstated by the system of course.
1
@joxituk Or in short, Le Pen gets fewer seats than she has votes.
1
Basically their plan is to get America to guarantee Ukraine. That's why they want America to backstop it.
1
@jerzykiler4386 Oh, and how many times has the Russian Federation invaded Poland? What would be the justification? What would be the motive?
1
@Vicrad32 Sure I can, with the exception of Estonia and Latvia who are really trying to piss Russia off as much as they can.
1
@jerzykiler4386 Oh, you fought the Russian Federation 20 times so far. In only 33 years, respect man. As for motives, yes, countries don't go to war for no reason. So, answer the question and while you are at it, please explain how the pipelines made Russia invade Ukraine.
1
@ No, by their politicians loudly proclaiming that Russia has to break-up. putting pressure on their Russian population and playing games with Kaliningrad.
1
@ Jesus Christ, if you cannot see the difference between the Federal Republic and the Third Reich you aren't just blind in both eyes, you are incapable of being a productive member of society.
1
@Vicrad32 No, by their politicians loudly proclaiming that Russia has to break-up. putting pressure on their Russian population and playing games with Kaliningrad.
1
@jerzykiler4386 No, you should, because I get the feeling that for you Russia is an amorphous other with no regards to changes in political culture and foreign policy.
1
@guciodestroyer2432 See, fantasies. Nothing but fantasies coming from Poland. No one is invading Poland, so just stop it.
1
@violet_green4335 Jesus Christ, if you cannot see the difference between the Federal Republic and the Third I cannot help you.
1
@mmajczak Oh, then why didn't he before America decided to openly mess in Ukraine?
1
@Vicrad32 No, by their politicians loudly proclaiming that Russia has to be decolonised. putting pressure on their Russian population and playing games with Kaliningrad.
1
@nicotri9722 Right, let's completely shred the credibility of our financial sector for Ukraine. Genius.
1
Why third time?
1
I'm not surprised that our esteemed chancellor Scholz is a US-cuck. The man would need a backbone to agree with Macron on European autonomy.
1
Apparently?
1
I'm pretty happy, but since I don't expect any reversals on Ukraine there isn't any hope to solve the crisis.
1
@ethancoster1324 False, negotiations for the Korean war and Vietnam war happened as the fighting continued.
1
Just another proof that people do not want to investigate the actual causes. They'd rather go to polemics and then accuse the other side of populism.
1
Hopefully the government can survive this.
1
@Phyt5 Yes. America wants it to be, though.
1
@2727daqwid Go take a look at what was decided in Bukarest in 2008.
1
@2727daqwid What was decided in Bukarest in 2008?
1
@2727daqwid So play the obstinate, you know full well what had been decided and what has been done since then.
1
@2727daqwid NATO decided that Ukraine would become a member, and they sure worked on it in 2014.
1
@greentoby26 By putting other labels on it?
1
@Dzoseff Which Germany did. So it makes sense.
1
@MajorCoolD Yes, I am well aware of this, I have been visiting Poland since I was a child. I still remember a picture of Merkel and her cabinett wearing Wehrmacht uniforms overlooking a map of Poland on a cover of one of the magazines there.
1
@tomaszgolachowski9073 Oh, and what proper research would I have to do?
1
@tripplebarrelfinn4380 No, they got a leg up because Merz decided to cause a left aligned meltdown and they got good Tiktok shorts out of that.
1
Well, one can dream, but Europe is going down (in large parts thanks to the US).
1
@newtubevector Our sanctions policies isolate us from the world and drive us into the arms of the Americans as we deindustrialise and become increasingly less capable of standing on our own two feet.
1
@E.Wolfdale Yeah, almost as if it is cheaper to buy from Russia.
1
@vencik_krpo Are you taking meds? Yes, that makes it better,
1
@vencik_krpo ... yes, it means it's a better idea.
1
@vencik_krpo Oh, what exactly is the problem if you buy cheaper phones?
1
@vencik_krpo Yeah, right, because dates, locations and names of videos or articles get censored.🙄
1
@vencik_krpo The first one is already laughable. America is already doing that, up to the German chancellor and I'm supposed to be worried about China? The only reason I'd let stand is the overreliance on a single source.
1
Censorship, you love to see it.
1
If only that were possible.
1
Schulz must go.
1
Well, we do try to keep Bosnia and that make-believe country Kosovo alive, that makes for a problem.
1
@ParasocialCatgirl No, the establishment parties have just shat the bed.
1
No, they haven’t. Russia had been clear from the start, they don’t care about temporary ceasefires because they correctly asses that that would only be a pause to give Ukraine a breather.
1
You are so gullible. Let me guess, with every war you are the first to decry the opposition as traitors and when the wars turn south you were obviously always against the war.
1
@scaramanga7587 Well, it would be an offer worth contemplating in exchange for debt-sharing.
1
@smal750 There was a German state, but not a nation-state. At least that much is true. It was still a German region, though.
1
@squirrel287 Sure, we can go with that if you feel like it.
1
@goosie8207 Foreign policy, not economic policy.
1
Well, thank God America blew up our infrastructure.
1
This is what panic looks like, since the Ukraine adventure is going belly-up.
1
Orban.😝
1
@petersouthernboy6327 China and Russia.
1
@TylerB17 Oh yes, considering Russia has escalation dominance (as clearly articulated by Obama in 2014).
1
@TylerB17 Yeah, sure, which is of course why the US has failed in its attempt in these last three years.
1
I wish, but we can't. We closed down all our other options (for America).
1
@breezeout That doesn't make any sense.
1
@Janoip Sure, same thing for California if America suddenly shattered into 50 parts. In other words, when pigs fly.
1
@Janoip Sure, and pigs start flying.
1
Is that why southern Donbass collapsed?
1
Yes, please, yes. Remove the Nord Stream saboteurs from the continent.
1
@Yattayatta Ask the EU if you don't believe me. As for eastern Ukraine, those people protested against what was happening to their government in Kiev.
1
As long as we get to boot America out of Europe (or at least out of Germany) I'm good with that.
1
@boarfaceswinejaw4516 If you honestly think that Ukraine should be in the EU, given even a free ride and sped up process, you need to get your head checked asap. (The rest of) Ukraine is a millstone that the US will dump on us once Russia is done with the place.
1
What about Austria?
1
@akend4426 Imagine shilling for the White House.
1
🤣

@camm8642 Yes, that is absolutely true and you won't see me denying this. For example, the German patriotic song "Die Wacht am Rhein" got written in the 1840 when France was again arguing for a Rhine border for itself and German nationalism very much sprang into being in opposition to the French occupation during the Napoleonic Wars. It's also true that Bismarck provoked the war, bceause he recognised that German unification had hit a road block in the form of France. Still, saying the Franco-Prussian war was caused by German revanchism is a bit silly. I'm sure if you dig deep into the source material you'll find people talking about it, but as far as causes go it'll rank on the bottom rungs.

@noidea5984 I don't have to drop anything, I did not advocate for reannexing Alsace-Lorraine. I simply told you that French revanchism wasn't justified.
1
@sliftyy Bavarians speak Bavarian.😇
1
@sliftyy Like I give a flying fuck about what they think, this whole discussion was about the Alsace of the 19th century, if you haven't noticed.

Remember when she used to be a fascist?
1
@Pixelplanet5 Because it's cheap, reliable and the alternative is America which is more violent, more expensive and less reliable.
1
@randomgermandude-x1o Have you kissed an American boot today?
1
@Pixelplanet5 It's cheap and reliable and the alternative, which is America, is far worse.
1
@Cubus-zapasowy All three of those stances are sensible.
1
@RedXlV Sure they are.
1
Thanks to our commitment to American foreign policy.
1
@Blondul11 How?
1
@Blondul11 He didn't. You just repeat talking points.
1
@Blondul11 No, I only speak German, Polish and English.
1
@Blondul11 I know better, because the clips and snippets you talk about don't exist.
1
@Blondul11 I have yet to see you provide any proof.
1
The answer is simple. Two states.
1
@boarfaceswinejaw4516 Well yes, Georgian citizens who have been influenced by NGOs and their foreign capital.
1
@boarfaceswinejaw4516 If they are so benign then revealing the source of their funding shouldn't be an issue.
1
@boarfaceswinejaw4516 But they should have that label, because it cannot be that outside forces get to have undue and unseen influence inside (poorer) countries.
1
@boarfaceswinejaw4516 Yes, because the suspicion can't be shaken that this news organisation would be steered towards particular opponents of said outside funding, while looking the other way regarding friends of the outside interests.
1
@Valokaari True, but then again it also means that they didn't pollute the world as much as the Nord Stream terrorists in America did. So let's be thankful for that.😜
1
@unfathomablyunfathomable No, against NATO.
1
@unfathomablyunfathomable Dear God, it's a short cut for the United States of America. I figured I wouldn't have to spell it out, but fine by me. And before you ask why the USA would do such a thing, they were trying to prevent the construction of the pipelines and bitched incessantly about them.
1
@unfathomablyunfathomable Weird, my answer vanished. Anyway, just type "Trump Nord Stream" or "Cruz Nord Stream" or any other American warmonger into the youtube search function, you'll find them bitching about them. Or search for American sanctions against Nord Stream.
1
@phoearwenien4355 Oh, I don't remember the last time Russia came to Germany. Strange.
1
That make-believe country in Kosovo just keeps piling on the problems.
1
@serebii666 Yes, Saudi-Arabia was at fault since they financially aided the terrorists? So yes, frankly Serbia should have given in, considering that it was an aggressively expanding kingdom with a terrorist problem which the government didn't seem to be able to control, after all the members of the Black Hand were embedded in the military and the bureaucracy and had already in the past killed their own royal family. Which Serbia of course didn't, because Russia, not compelled through any treaty, they weren't allies with Serbia like Germany and Austria, wrote them their own blank cheque based on what, feeling embarrassment over having pulled back during the Bosnia crisis after getting humiliated by Japan and wanting to get some street cred back? And don't give me that representation argument, not when Serbian military and officials literally help kill a reform minded Austrian. So sure, "Austria" is at fault for the mess of the Balkans, don't take a look at the expanding Serbia or Russia sticking its nose where it didn't belong, or the rivalries between the smaller states that had already led to two wars before WW1 and led to more wars after, because they couldn't agree on their borders in the ethnically mixed region and still can't. Let's all together forget that WW1 was a result of the Balkan troubles, not its cause.
1
@serebii666 Saudi-Arabia aided the terrorists financially, so yes, they are guilty? As for that aggressively expanding kingdom with an uncontrollable Black Hand problem, with its members were embedded in the military and the bureaucracy. Yes, they should have given in instead of accepting the Russian blank cheque They didn't, though, because Russia backed them to the hilt, despite not actually being allied with Serbia, unlike how Germany and Austria were allied, and Russia did so out of a feeling of embarrassment for getting humiliated by Japan and losing street cred during the Bosnia crisis. And don't give me that representation argument, when Serbian military officials helped kill someone who actually wanted reforms on the issue. Lastly, you don't seriously want to pretend that WW1 is the cause for the Balkan mess? There were two wars shortly before WW1 started and wars after the war ended, proving that this ethnically mixed region was a mess before and after. That's why it was called the powder keg in the years leading up to the Great War. Let's blame Austria, ignore that Russian expansion into the Balkans led to the emergence of these small Balkan states that couldn't and still can't agree on their borders, not to mention that it was Russia sticking its nose in someone else's business that escalated what would have been the Third Balkan war (because duh Austria wouldn't just take it) into a European war. Let's leave the small Balkan states off the hook, despite them constantly bickering over their borders. Sure, it's Austria at fault.
1
@serebii666 Yes, Saudi-Arabia is at fault for financing the terrorists. What, do we now blame the victims? So yes, I hold Serbia responsible for the inability to deal with his problems, especially in the context of the aggressive expansion of Serbia. They should have given in. What was the worst that could happen, 20% of the population dying? I'd frankly love to write a longer comment, but since Youtube doesn't take so kindly to my attempts, an abbreviated version: Russia and Serbia were not allied and Russia stuck its nose where it didn't belong, handing out a check they couldn't cover and escalating a potential Third Balkan War into a European crisis. Yes, third, there were wars before WW1 and after WW1, meaning that the Great War was not the cause for the Balkan mess (ignoring that I will not let Serbia and Russia off the hook for that one). You can find the fault in Russia messing in the region (their expansion leading to the emergence of these smaller countries) and the smaller Balkan states bickering over their borders, from before WW1 to long after (as they still do today).

@chickenfishhybrid44 No, it's pretty damn obvious that it was the US.
1
Go the front if you are such a manly man.
1
@damackabet.4611 Aha, Biden just didn't want to.🙄
1
Well, eventually it must come true.😂
1
Probably because we allowed ourselves to get dragged into America's latest misadventure (because of course the poodles allowed it) and because the US blew up European energy infrastructure.
1
That's what happens when you chain yourself to America's plans.
1
Which family?
1
@JF-rh5vq Still believing Clinton's lie?
1
Scholz is flailing around because of the elections this year and the next.
1
@sashimi3478 You can make the same argument about the Hohenzollern who wouldn't have rolled over for the Habsburgs in the name of a unified Germany.
1
Germany at the bottom thanks to Scholz and Biden.
1
Maybe if one doesn't have any perspective.
1
@kennethkho7165 You dispute the numbers? Then tell me how that was actually a genius move.
1
@kennethkho7165 Are you disputing the numbers?
1
@javierpatag3609 Wow, it's incredible that you actually believe all of that when Russia is still marching on in Donbas.
1
@javierpatag3609 Oh sure, you are comparing a few militias defending themselves from Ukraine with the whole Russian army. See, this is why I cannot take you seriously.
1
@javierpatag3609 No, I did not, but I am hardly surprised that you cannot read. I measured it by the fact that despite Ukraine's desperate gamble Russia is still advancing through the Donbas. In the meantime the Ukrainians do what of any value in Kursk?
1
@HyperScorpio8688 In WW1 France won despite German soldiers still being in France.
1
@javierpatag3609 Wow. I guess you don't understand that that means that Russia has not diverted men from Donbas. Almost as if they have more resources than Ukraine.
1
@javierpatag3609 Yes, they are evacuating citizens, almost as if this were something states do during war time. As for resistance, is that the reason why the Ukrainians left Giri and Ozerky?
1
@javierpatag3609 No, you are just interpreting what I write in the way you want, building a strawman where I claim that you can determine the outcome of a war by the amount of territory seized. It's not. It's about resources, it's the value of the territory seized. Take Fall Blau from the WW2 for example. Impressive amount of territory the Germans took, right? Didn't matter one bit in the end. So, has opening another front somehow reversed Ukraine's shortage in men? What is the value of small villages in Kursk? Can you answer that?
1
@RipCityBassWorks What place of strength? Nothing has changed regarding the ratio of men and equipment.
1
@javierpatag3609 You know full well that Donbas is a war goal and no amount of false comparisons between asymmetrical and conventional wars change that. Nothing up there in Kursk short of the actual city or the NPP is worth being there, especially as fortifications built up over ten years in front of a logistical hub are falling apart. In the meantime you can go to Mediazona, which by far is the best approximation of Russian casualties we have, and just marvel out how outlandish the claims you definitely believe in are. So go on, cope about how domestic unrest and a collapsing economy will lead to Putin's fall. That is all people like you have had for three years now.
1
@javierpatag3609 The bigger picture you are tooting just boils down to a hope strategy. You hope something will come up that might actually threaten Putin's rule, because nothing on the battlefield suggests it'll go Ukraine's way. Hope ain't a strategy. And don't think I have not noticed that you have neither answered how Ukraine reverses its manpower crisis through the offensive nor what value the territory provides Ukraine. You are just giving off baseless platitudes about high Russian casualties which must surely crack the homefront.
1
@javierpatag3609 Unless you can actually formulate a war strategy that doesn't build on "we keep holding out until something changes in Russia domestically" I'm going to call it a hope strategy. Especially when its most basic pillar is the axiomatic belief in high Russian casualties.
1
@javierpatag3609 You are making the Russian war strategy up. It's pretty obvious that it is attritional warfare which they can engage in being the side with the vastly higher resources. The outcome you can see in Donbas where Ukraine can't stop them and in our media that has been writing about the manpower crisis in Ukraine for months by this point.
1
@javierpatag3609 You are making the Russian war strategy up. It's pretty obvious that it is attritional warfare. Being the bigger side they can obviously engage in it and you can tell that it's working by the consistent progress Russia has been making since 2023 while our media keeps writing articles about the shortages in men Ukraine experiences.
1
@javierpatag3609 You are making the Russian war strategy up. It's pretty obvious that it they intend on grinding down the Ukrainian army in a WW1 style. Being the bigger side they can obviously engage in it and you can tell that it's working by the consistent progress Russia has been making since 2023 while our media keeps writing articles about the shortages in men Ukraine experiences.
1
@javierpatag3609 And now you are just making things up. If you ask me, it's obvious what Russia is doing. Leveraging its greater resources to defeat the Ukrainian army in detail. It's not as concerned with territory as it is with the opponent's casualties. The effects you can clearly see on the battlefield, with consistent progress since last year and articles over articles about Ukraine being overstretched, problems with recruiting and exhaustion.
1
@javierpatag3609 No, you are just repeating what the media says is Russia's strategy. The same people who kept making up timetables that Russia conveniently didn't keep in order to convince you that Russia was losing. Three years later we can see the effect. Donbas is crumbling, Ukraine is stretched thin and they go on stunts like in Kursk. Meanwhile you are holding firm in the axiomatic belief in high Russian casualties.
1
@javierpatag3609 And we are back to the axiomatic belief in high Russian casualties.
1
@javierpatag3609 As for you making it up, technically you are correct. You are just repeating what the media tells you is Russian strategy.
1
@javierpatag3609 You have yet to fact check me on anything.
1
@javierpatag3609 Which part of, those Russian high losses are bull, have you not understood? I already told you a site that gives you the best approximation of the casualties and it's laughably below what is getting cited all the time by Ukraine. Lastly, the majority of casualties in war are caused by artillery. Now guess which country has the overwhelming advantage in that field and square the circle with that supposed favourable casualty rate for Ukraine.
1
@javierpatag3609 That isn't how you square the circle.
1
@javierpatag3609 You have yet to explain how Russia's casualties can be so high when they have the artillery advantage. So, square that circle.
1
@javierpatag3609 And I did tell you to not use false comparisons between asymmetrical and conventional wars, didn't I?
1
@javierpatag3609 The only way both are true is if Ukraine's casualties are catastrophic. At which point you will have to answer the question of how Ukraine can win the war, especially by opening up yet another front. Which isn't surprising of course. You can't actually articulate anything beyond a hope strategy.
1
@javierpatag3609 No, it can't, war just doesn't work that way. And Ukraine is not holding, what are you even talking about? Their position in front of Toretsk and Pokrovsk is deteriorating each day. So, are you capable of formulating a war winning strategy whose effect can actually be tangibly measured on the battlefield or aren't you?
1
@javierpatag3609 Yes, it can't. You claiming that Russia suffers so many more casualties than Ukraine does not make it so. If the vast majority of artillery is on Russia's side and artillery is the main cause of casualties in any modern war, than how is that supposed to be possible? As for the rest, you are predictably incapable of articulating the worth of the incursion or a way how Ukraine can win.
1
@chessnut4886 I don't like seeing my country back criminals and I feel absolutely zero historic responsibility for Israel. Also, an oath of loyalty to a different country being a requisite to becoming a German citizen can only have been thought of by morons.
1
@rohankishibe8259 No thank you.
1
@rohankishibe8259 Yeah no, I am against Germany ceding land to create some Jewish state.
1
@rohankishibe8259 Good question, why is my emasculated government that bends over backwards for America aiding another vassal state to keep America's hegemonic ambitions in the Middle East?
1
@rohankishibe8259 Germany is a pathetic vassal state of America.
1
@vencik_krpo Right, I must have imagined the US politicians flying in and out of the country and talking like McCain about being with them in their fight.
1
Well, they wanted more skilled labour and then crashed the economy. So, not that surprising.
1
East Germany had to build a wall to keep the people in.
1
East Germany built a wall to keep the people in.
1
And how is NATO going to blow Putin off the map? With wonder weapons or what?
1
Right, and how is NATO going to accomplish that?
1
No. Certainly not with cretins like von der Leyen at the helm.
1
Nah, in 2008 we should have told Bush to put a sock in.
1
@julianivanov3058 It's the truth.
1
What happens next? Russia wins.
1
@altaruss2838 When Ukraine can't recruit enough soldiers anymore.
1
@altaruss2838 Right, the North Koreans no one has actually seen in Kursk yet.😂
1
@altaruss2838 Oh sure, 'people' saw them. Which is why there is so much film material of them. The Ukrainians captured so many of them and presented them to the world.
1
@altaruss2838 So in short, there isn't, you just believe everything the Ukrainians say.
1
It won't, but one can hope.
1
@warbrain1053 We cannot beat Russia, you muppet.
1
@bertilcoolson3922 Am I scared? No. Are you full of shit? Yes.
1
I wouldn't mind Germany doing the same, considering the insane people running NATO at the moment.
1
They thought Putin would fall from power quickly and that they would get that gas again.
1
@jubmelahtes They could have also told the US to shove their Ukraine plans up their ass, but here we are.
1
@DJ-ov2it The thumbnail asks if the gamble will pay off. It won't.
1
@DJ-ov2it Improving Ukraine's strategic position.
1
@DJ-ov2it We can only think critically about that. Ukraine had already been overstretched and has now lengthened the frontline even further, while the Russians aren't transferring troops in from Donbass in large numbers. In short, Ukraine is losing in Donbass and merely opened up a new and unconnected theatre.
1
@DJ-ov2it And how does one prove an immaterial concept? I guess you can measure how fast the Rusisans are progressing in Donbass and it has picked up.
1
@DJ-ov2it No? As I said, you can critically examine the question. Ukraine has been overstretched and is now lenghtening the frontline. How does that help? Answer, it doesn't.
1
@DJ-ov2it I'm sorry, but that is just plain wrong. If your military maneuver doesn't help with the pressing problems on the battlefield, but actually exacerbates them, then it doesn't improve your strategic situation. You might as well ask me why Ukraine can't produce green by mixing red and yellow. It just doesn't work that way.
1
@DJ-ov2it Oh, you think what's written in the New York Times is somehow influencing the battlefield?
1
@DJ-ov2it The West is already getting outproduced and will be for years, what does it matter if its interest is renewed? As for Putin, are you hoping that domestic unrest will topple him? Good luck with that strategy.
1
@DJ-ov2it The West can't keep up in production numbers and if what one is reduced to is hoping for domestic unrest in one's oppenent the war is really not going in one's favour.
1
@DJ-ov2it The West is already incapable of providing Ukraine with enough ammunition and if what one is reduced to is hoping for domestic unrest in one's oppenent the war is really not going in one's favour.
1
@DJ-ov2it Sounds like a hope strategy. Domestic unrest is all that is left in Ukraine's arsenal?
1
@DJ-ov2it Except it is doing what it can. It's not Russia's fault that a deindustrialised West ist struggling to provide material for industrial warfare. And my statement is still factually correct.
1
@DJ-ov2it So you think the West is half-assing its confrontation with Russia for reasons? As for my claim, I did mention Russian progress in Donbass if you want to measure it. What else am I supposed to name? The length of the frontline? The casualty numbers are state secrets. I can point to Ukraine's persistent disadvantage in artillery numbers if it makes you happy. Or that Sirsky has admitted that the Russian army is growing and by now bigger that Ukraine's.
1
@someguycalledcerberus9805 Honestly? I don't know. I believe Ukraine can't win and it's too late to negotiate.
1
Why?
1
Who needs to hear about these people outside of their respective countries where they would be elected?
1
I remember when I was told she was a fascist. What happened?
1
@Blanka1100 That gas station is outproducing us.
1
Yes, sanction the country for not doing what we want. That has always worked. Then wonder why people laugh about claims of Russian interference in EU politics.🙄
1
@L_back As if I cared. I explained someone else's comment and Israel is barbaric.
1
Scholz should be even lower on the list, considering he is deindustrialising the country on behalf of America.
1
@soundscape26 No, just not woke.
1
And what about its defence industry, production and stockpiles of ammunition? The current war shows that industrial warfare has never left.
1
@TheEsseboy Good, you'd need it considering our inability to properly supply Ukraine.
1
@TheEsseboy So it's an inability. You don't just hit a switch, this takes months if not a year or two, considering how the industrial base in the West has been diminished.
