Opinion | How Germany Became Putin’s Enabler - The New York Times (nytimes.com)
Unfortunately, Germany’s political leaders, including Chancellor Olaf Scholz, have taken the side of the scaremongers. The revelations of Russian atrocities in Ukraine have led to grudging acknowledgments that something must be done, but still not much sense of urgency.
What strikes me — a parallel that for some reason I haven’t seen many people drawing — is the contrast between Germany’s current reluctance to make moderate sacrifices, even in the face of horrific war crimes, and the immense sacrifices Germany demanded of other countries during the European debt crisis a decade ago.

Pretty much all the news from Germany are head scratchers

I mean if others will step up you don't have to and can make more money in the process. Also will be easier to snuggle back up to Putin if he wins the war. Germany is making alls the right moves if you have no sense of shame.
On a personal level I'm shocked at the nation that once built one of the world's most murderous forms of fascism in human history.
shocked
But hey at least they're doing it for money now so that makes it okay.

dafuq is that bitch babbling about.......
Borscht. it's a delightful soup made of beets and cold despair.
It would be like Canada trying to destroy Vermont because maple syrup
And see? This is how we have nazi-ism.
I know the recipe. But what the fuck is that bitch babbling about?
She's drunk, hard to tell really. Not too shabby for the official spokeswoman of the russkies ministry of foreign affairs.
Good thread, painful though. Operation Danube cast my country to dark ages for 30 years.

So what do we have after this Bolshevik de-Abrahamization? Paradoxically, getting rid of Abrahamic values, Russia didn't move forward. It has fallen millennia back. Being violently de-Christianized Russia didn't enter the era of progress and reason. Instead it fall back to the Neolith. Russian cult of WWII is a form of a neolithic ancestral cult. It is thoroughly cleansed from any Abrahamic values and centered around the worship of the dead.
WWII cult became Russian state religion for two reasons. First, people didn't believe in the bright future anymore. When Soviets were sincerely building Communism, WWII wasn't worshipped. But by the times of Brezhnev nobody believed we are building Communism or any future at all. If a country is building its future, people will be obsessed with it. But if we don't, then we'll be obsessed by the past. WWII cult is literally the past devouring the future. It's a form of ritual cannibalism interwoven into the ancestral cult.
Russian society is indeed highly tolerant to war casualties in Z-context. That's not wrong. But who exactly is tolerant to casualties? The elderly. Fascist warmongering dead worshipping babushkas and dedushkas are more than willing to sacrifice their youngsters for the Victory.
...
I'll clarify: the problem is not in Putin. Neither it is in Navalny. The problem is in imperial structure of Russia and in its imperialist mindset. Any ideology be it Orthodoxy, Communism, Liberalism will be weaponised by the metropoly to dominate and discipline its colonies. <- A-men!

Good time to remind everyone how long it took after the public revolts in Czechoslovakia, Hungary and the GDR until their people were actually free and how repressive Moscow and its proxy regimes turned during those lost decades, quashing all those reforms aiming for a more humane form of socialism.Good thread, painful though.

And now look how long it took Moscow to decide that all the people living in those lands only exist at Russia’s mercy.

It seems like there is a simple solution. If people stopped buying products from Germany they wouldn't need Russian energy to make them.
or a fascinatingly novel concept: maybe germany just learns to say no to fascism
I mean they tried it at one point
I know, I know....it's like asking murka to function without slavery. Some things are just baked in!

Germany made the rest of Europe its biatch - manufacturing parts for German products so they can buy them later with a hefty margin applied. See what happened to the Greeks when they refused to play ball.
If we can get China to just copy everything that Germany makes, then we are go to go?
I would rather entertain a simple solution than the final solution.
you can buy gag balls and leather somewhere else man.......jeesh

Reports that Russia used chemical weapons in Mariupol. If confirmed it is safe to say that the Russians will deny it and claim they gassed themselves.
also, source?
Should be taken with a grain of salt, which is why I said 'if confirmed'. Euromaiden is considered to be a liberal pro-ukrainian agency from an editorial perspective but trusted as far as facts.
seems they're not the only ones mentioning it
Yeah, but with Mariupol pretty much cutoff there is little chance of getting good confirmation.
It usually helps when you come bearing tanks
