What America can learn from Germany. Teach the whole story.

"The first step to being a better country, is to be able to just stand
up and honestly say who & what you are...I am an American. I live in a
great country that was born in genocide and built on the backs of
slaves."

We tried to buy what we needed from the Indians, but they wanted
war instead, and the work of negro slaves - who would have been
killed and eaten if they hadn't been sold into slavery - was
almost entirely unproductive.

Stupid white bitch is stupid. Should have been slapped and kept
in the kitchen by a husband, or failing that, gang-raped, beaten
and locked in a cage.

Louisiana Purchase - what the United States bought was the
"preemptive" right to obtain "Indian" lands by treaty or by conquest,
to the exclusion of other colonial powers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Purchase

Dances with Wolves - An epilogue states: "Thirteen years later --
their homes destroyed, their buffalo gone -- the last band of free
Sioux submitted to white authority at Fort Robinson, Nebraska. The
great horse culture of the plains was gone, and the American frontier
was soon to pass into history."

Unknown about that aspect....population overgrowth does have
consequences

"Slavery existed in Africa before Europeans arrived. However, their
demand for slave labour was so great that traders and their agents
searched far inland, devastating the region. Powerful African leaders
fuelled the practice by exchanging enslaved people for goods such as
alcohol, beads and cloth.

Britain became the world’s leading slave-trading country.
Transatlantic slavery was especially lucrative because ships could
sail with full holds on every stage of their voyage, making large
profits for merchants in London, Bristol and Liverpool.

Around 12 million Africans were enslaved in the course of the
transatlantic slave trade. Between 1640 and 1807, British ships
transported about 3.4 million Africans across the Atlantic."

I already have the whip ready to whip myself for what my ancestors did!

The germans are the most pathetic people when they interact with other
people from other cultures. They are literally afraid of being associated
with nazis even when they are right.


Example:

"The idea that Germany delivers weapons that could then be used to kill
Russians is very difficult to stomach for many Germans," Marcel Dirsus, a
nonresident fellow at the Institute for Security Policy at Kiel University
(ISPK), told DW.

From: https://www.dw.com/en/why-germany-refuses-weapons-deliveries-to-
ukraine/a-60483231

This is about the current situation in Ukraine.

Forget something? Where is that new natural gas pipeline about?

"Most recently, Scholz appeared to indicate that the Kremlin's
aggression would also have consequences for the already-completed Nord
Stream 2 pipeline, which is ready to pump more Russian gas to Germany
once the German regulatory body gives the go-ahead."

Nah, fuck 'em. What was done was done. Right or wrong. People need to
build a bridge and get over it.

They are *now*!

Too much brainwashing went on in the FDR when they were younger... the
guilt was drummed in to them.

Why should anyone want to send weapons to the Ukraine though? If there
wasn't a natural gas pipeline to Europe through Ukraine would anyone in
the West be bothered about Ukraine at all?

So are we back to 19th century? Having the big countries bullying the
small ones and defining their defense policy? Do you know that ended with
war - WW 1?

Did Ukraine asked to be a protectorate?

Is Russia bullying the Ukraine or just posturing? Maybe Russia is trying
to achieve some other geopolitic aims within Europe?

Ask yourself this: In 2022 do Russia really want to have a full-scale
war in Europe with Ukraine? What next, Russia invade Poland? Finland?
Highly unlikely. Because of their superior military power Russia could
have fully invaded the Ukraine at any stage since annexing the Crimea
region in 2014. They haven't done so. They are currently engaging in
talks with the US and the EU... so what exactly is Russia looking to
achieve long term by all of this? Everything is not black and white on
this issue...
