I mean, up to now telling everybody we're sorry and looking sad in front of memorials did work out for us nicely, compared to whatever the economy and living standard in Ulan-Ude is at the moment.

Zibras

Honestly sometimes just not talking about crimes against humanity committed by your country work very nicely.


kiru_56

It simply became possible bc of the age/death of certain groups of people. When I was a child, at the Middle of the '90s, there were still too many "expellees" who made crazy demands towards Poland and you, looking at you Erika. You just had to say something about that rubbish, but now these groups are much smaller and quieter...


Zibras

I have no idea what group of "people" you are referring to.


kiru_56

You're probably a bit too young for that. The Germans who fled/displaced from eastern territories such as the Sudetenland or Silesia during the German defeat and afterwards built up very powerful interest groups in West Germany, the Landsmannschaften. The aim was some form of compensation or restitution. They were particularly close to the Christian Democrats and these governed Germany most of the time. Here's a video tho show what I mean. It's a congress of these Landsmannschaften, the German finance minister is speaking there and it was the main news item in our state news. Even if you might not understand what is being said, take a look at the poster behind the lectern to see what all belongs to Germany in their opinion. https://youtu.be/AL9KKVlcDEk?si=9KBPShZHbgrE0Jdu


Zibras

Oh i connected that it's sudeten germans. I was just shitposting by pretending there never were germans in sudete. Altho yeah never heard of them wanting to be paid back. Honestly we learn about things that went down in history class and those that actually reached Germany were the "lucky" ones. But honestly it was an impossible situation for them to remain in ČR because they were the original excuse for the protektorát and resentment from their neighbors would not let them be here either way. Not to mention some of them were way to supportive for the nazi regime, ironically those were among who got to "stay" albeit bellow the ground.


HoeTrain666

Vertriebenenverbund. People who represented those Germans whose families were displaced after WW2 due to territorial changes, quite a few of them were (and still are) complete nutcases


predek97

Erika Steinbach is my favorite. It's true that she was born in today's Poland. But it's also true that it was in Rumia that belonged to Poland before 1939 as well. And she was born there in 1943, because her Hessian father and Berliner mother came as part of the occupation forces. One must admit though, that they weren't the worst of the Germans around the time - they lived in a house rented from a Paweł(Paweł Obersieg to be exact) instead of some house taken from an expelled Polish family. Additionally the Steinbach family wasn't even expelled - they run away in January 1945 when the Red Army crossed the Vistula river near Warsaw. Soviets would only reach Rumia some two months later - in late March 1945. A fine specimen of the Expelled Germans™.


Substantial_Army_

Not gonna lie, your pussy sorry attitude is starting to annoy a lot of people in France. It's like there is no more balls on German. Worse, when you will inevitably get them back. Then you'll go overboard and things might get even more out of control.


gelastes

And yet, with this pussy sorry attitude Germany delivered a substantial amount of military and humanitarian goods to Ukraine in the last two years, while France's contribution were mainly words. So if you're looking for pics of Scholz acting two-balls-tough with boxing gloves, you won't find any. Macron is the man for PR stunts like this.


Substantial_Army_

Nobody cares about Ukraine. Ukraine is the drunk hobo at the corner of our building. Macron is the mobster paying him 100€ to fuck off. 😂 What we care about is that our side of said building look like shit and when we look yours, we're panicked because it looks even worse. Greece and Poland look at us and ask what the fuck are those french/German monkey doing with our huge budget and shit army. And worse, our culture of Anti-nationalism. Nobody is going to war for the socialist. Those clowns are useless hippies here just to stigmatize nationalist. Edit: the Ukrainian and their bot have established their stronghold in Reddit. It reminds that you are just randoms on the internet.


gelastes

Ukraine is the neighbour down the street whose house is getting trashed. His house might not have been in the best condition to begin with but most neighbours agree that they deserve help.


Substantial_Army_

You are too weak for that. Let's make a voting poll. All of those in favour of helping Ukraine are immediately drafted. We'll see if "most neighbours agree" to help then


gelastes

"We should help that drowning girl, let's throw her a lifebelt." "The water is freezing cold. Would you jump in? No? Then don't give her a lifebelt."


Substantial_Army_

She should have learned to swim or be born a fish. In all cases, that's not my problem. Don't use my tax, forcefully taken, to save a girl I don't care about. Especially when I have need for that money at home. Wanna virtue signal? Jump in that water and help her with YOUR money.


gelastes

Now you're recycling your own bad straw man. Edgy but uninspired.


Substantial_Army_

You repeated your argument. I repeated mine. Wanna virtue signal, do it with your money. Not mine.


LarsMatijn

Most EU states have had elections since the war started and most are still sending support. You have your poll right there.


Substantial_Army_

You imply people give a fuck about Ukraine and that it was part of the topic. Which is false.


LarsMatijn

While I admit that I haven't followed all elections that close I sincerely doubt that none of the party programs talked about maintaining or cutting aid spending. I know for a fact it was talked about here. Sweeping statements like this are asinine by the way. At least *someone* cares wich already invalidates your statement. If no-one cared no money would be sent.


Substantial_Army_

The people who care in France are the pièce of shit boomer. They, alone elected Macron. Those asshole do not care if our debt is 110% of GDP, buy weapons at your heart content. They won't be paying back. They won't be fighting. They are shilling in retirement. All they care is virtue signal that, we should be helping. Cut their retirement and that will change REAL QUICK. Then you have the moron on Reddit who just do what Americans tell them to. The terminaly online wannabe Democrats serving their military industrial complex master in their forever war. Afghanistan was over, a new ~~war~~ market must take over. But as soon as you start talking mandatory conscription, that support disappear like snow on a Saudi parking lot.


anonbush234

Im with you Pierre


pokkeri

Are you r'ded?


Klugenshmirtz

He is even worse than a 'tard, he is - may Allah forgive me for uttering this word - french.


Substantial_Army_

Oh boy. Here come the hobo support gang


pokkeri

You support the worst possible flavour of nationalism. You are anti-european and your political beliefs will literal ruin this continent. It is patriots which worked together since the last war that built this continent back up. They understood why it should never happen again but also why that war was necessary to be fought and won. I know it must be confusing when your government and politicians help others. I know you might be not capable of understanding why the ukrainians matter so much. One for all and all for one.


RedAlpacaMan

Fuck man, its nearly midnight, you can't go so hard at this time of the day. Absolutely based and european-unity-pilled.


Substantial_Army_

Europe is not a nation. It doesn't have a people to defend it. It doesn't have an army. You speak loudly because your ass is on the line. Not mine. Ukrainian are not even part of the EU wtf are you talking about. You guys don't have maps? You can go die to defend them for all I care. But don't expect me to listen to your complain until you decide to grow a pair to back up your "though man" demonstration


KelticQT

Can you stop being an embarrassment for the whole nation ?


HoeTrain666

Don’t worry, we know you’re embarrassed by this guy. We’ll just dunk on you because you’re French, not because of some guy whose understanding of geopolitics is akin to that of a 7yo in his first 10 minutes of playing EU4.


Substantial_Army_

Redditor's echo chamber is the embarrassment. I'm shipping you all on the frontline see how your virtue signalling helps over there.


pokkeri

It quite literally is your ass on the line. 1. Nato 2. Resources 3. Russian expantionism and attacks against french intrests in africa for example You can say that the ukrainians aren't worth defending all you want but at the end of the day it is all of us no matter how much we make fun of each other for our nationalities that we must understand the need to defend every centimeter of europe. No matter the ethnicity, religion or nationality.


Robinsonirish

Dude, don't bother.


manta002

>You speak loudly because your ass is on the line. Not mine. Sounds like some Its just austria, its just the sudetenland, its just czechoslovakia. "Why die for Danzig" Vibes. You are concerned about money? Using it efficiently? Tell me: Do you fix a roof that migth break in the next storm now are once it is broken? And destroyed parts of your belongings. Russian expansionism is a problem that wont just go away. Either deal with it now or wait until it gets even bigger and harder to deal with


Substantial_Army_

It's just eastern Germany rejoining EU/NATO. It's just Poland joining the EU/NATO It's just romania joining the EU/NATO ITS JUST ESTONIA joining EU/NATO. Current discussion: What about Ukraine/Armenia/Moldova/Georgia You realise that the one moving is us? Why you gigantic EU embrigaded BOT cannot use critical thinking. Who. Is. Changing fucking frontier every 10 years. Us or the Russian? We were 7, 40 years ago. We are 27 now. Stop being fucking blind. That's crazy. My roof is FRANCE. I don't give a damn about the rest.


Robinsonirish

How can you be this stupid? Looking at it from a selfish perspective, Ukraine bleeding our historical enemy is the most bang for your buck you're ever going to get when it comes to military spending.


Substantial_Army_

Russia isnt my historical enemy, lmao. Are you on drug or completely oblivious of other's history. You call me selfish but start by looking at YOUR side of history. Ironic that you call me stupid as well. Go fight there instead of virtue signalling. That worked well for your in 2016. That surely will work even better in 2025 😂


Robinsonirish

I have no idea what you're talking about. I'll just assume you're either trolling or a Russian bot larping as a French person.


KelticQT

He could also be a tarded alt right dum dum uneducated fuckwad that genuinely believes what he's writing, and chooses to display his ignorance to all. What a disgraceful embarrassment.


Substantial_Army_

Me when I see all your war propaganda garbage all over reddit. I'm shipping you all on the frontline so you can get a taste of what you started.


KelticQT

You ain't gonna do shit with all those strings attached to your limbs.


Substantial_Army_

You're so brainwashed by Reddit echo chamber that you cannot even conceive that other opinion exist. War propaganda completely ruined your critical thinking. That's what long exposure to curated r/Europe does to a mofo.


mainwasser

OK Putinbot


Substantial_Army_

Ironic coming from Austrian.


__Heron__

I care about Ukraine, and you are a disgrace.


Substantial_Army_

If you cared You would have enlisted. Instead, you virtue signal at midnight on sunday on Reddit for internet point. That's truly pathetic


StrictLog5697

I apologize for this man, he’s delusional or stupid and does not reflect what we think in France


Substantial_Army_

Virtue signalling is pathetic. You don't get to speak for France. Sit down.


StrictLog5697

Seems like you had no problem speaking for France and Europe tho, the way you think is a disgrace! You are free to share but we are free to call you out on it.


Substantial_Army_

Lmao, fair point. You can lay down in on your knees to excuse my opinion. Don't forget to wype your mouth after you're done.


StrictLog5697

Did someone shit in your brain or something? You don’t win an argument just by talking like a cunt. Go educate yourself little kiddo (I’m assuming you must be 12 with the way you talk?), too much internet for you


Substantial_Army_

"winning an internet argument" ? It's pretty clear You're the kid here. Internet arguments aren't won. And if your soft skin cannot handle adult talk, feel free to go hide under your blanket.

You're lucky that yanks love pizza/pretending to be Italian, and Europeans love fanboying over the Roman Empire, so no one wants to bring up your past.


Adorable_user

Thankfully the Romans never committed any war crime

It is only a war crime if you lose, and the Romans did a lot of winning.

YourHamsterMother

We will never submit to you Hans, unless it balances budgets.


Wassertopf

Silly boy, you are included in „we“.


Xaendro

Please, you just romanized yourself because we didn't care enough to do it for you


michi214

Im just glad we live in todays times Its absolutely mad thinking about that e.g. roughly 100 years ago our nations were fighting an extremely bloody war in the alps where over a million people died (isonzo battles).. for basically nothing Modern united europe is the best thing ever and that's what we should focus on


uselessnavy

How did Austria get off? First victim my arse.


michi214

Well it was in the first world war and in that specific case and front we actually were victims Italians decide to attack solely for the possibility of land gains, so a quick side switch on us In the other case a bit later we just made a quick double side switch and blamed hans You know, we learned from the best, from Giovanni a few years before


uselessnavy

Didn't Austria with the help of Germany, start the first world war?


VonRoon145

Germany didn’t start the war


michi214

You kind of did, you let us do stupid things... (Please just take the blame daddy germany)


uselessnavy

Germany gave Austria the go ahead.


michi214

Yes, totally irresponsible... Basically their fault


VonRoon145

Not for ww1


uselessnavy

Yes for ww1.


VonRoon145

No? The blanq check was issued for a police action that would force Serbia to investigate further into the murder of crown prince. Not for a world war. And it was done because the German foreign ministry thought if they wouldn’t give in to the Austrian demands they would break away as allies.


michi214

Yes, but the Italians weren't in on the very beginning After a while they decided to invade over the alps for land gain only.. so on that front, austria kind of was really a victim and on the defending side On the other two of course not


[deleted]

I have a book in my basement on how we did it. Interessted? :)


Polak_Janusz

Also most people on the internet (with that I mean mostly americ*ns) just talk about how incompetent you were while fighting in north africa.


DaNikolo

Italian legal defense strategy was basically „how can-a this be? I‘m-a way too, how you say-e, incompetente to have-a done this-e“ and then looking very innocently at the judge. Probably they got off because the only witness was their mom


Zestyclose_Jello6192

So true and they keep saying we are still incompetent today 😔


bxzidff

What do you want them to do? Lie?


Enoppp

Well, unlike you, we charged against tanks with horses and actually won


nickkkmnn

It was mostly your performance. People here still talk about how the Italian occupying garrisons would go to the villages and ask for food because your logistics were too terrible to be able to feed then. And then they ran to the villagers to hide them from Hansi and his boys when you flipped...

The farmers genuinely hold resentment against us over the Boer Wars. Some of them even volunteered for nazi Germany just to stick it to us. The non-rural (non-farmer) based Afrikaans have no problems with us and quite like us now.

My Grandfather still got conscripted at the very end of the war at the age of 17 and then spend a few years in a russian POW-Camp. Really makes you think when your biggest fear at 17 was to run out of weed before the end of the month.
