#10  Der Spiegel LOL

Of course if the end of the world it's Der Spiegel and this is a filthy "Amerikian" war Germany should not be involved in. How do you say quagmire in German?

Money quote "But does it even stand a chance of winning the war in the first place?" If you are TRANZI elite that writes for and runs Der Spiegel the answer is no.

#8  Europeans are conditioned to believe that colored Third Worlders - even those who supply most of the World's opium - are victims. Therefore any operation against said victims must be wrong. Its a loss of nerve.

#6  Maybe the Germans aren't interested in a war where (1) they don't get to kill Jews, (2) Germany doesn't get any loot or land and (3) they can't destroy every building and kill every civilian in sight.

#5  "The Germans Have to Learn How to Kill"

I think it should say "The Germans Have to Remember How to Kill."

#4  After two world wars and 50 years of crushing socialism, that feature has been pretty much killed off or drummed out of most of Europe.

Hmmm. If I remember my history, that's the least of their problems.
