European Politics

I was referring to the headline from Germany’s Bild, not the Daily Mail. I can agree that Bild tends to sharpen conflicts and frame things dramatically. But Merkel definitely said things that could be interpreted as “blaming Eastern Europe”—if I’m not mistaken, she claimed that Eastern European countries opposed dialogue with putin.

And if you still can’t see that she’s always been putin’s versteher—the “nothing personal, just business, let’s get that cheap gas” kind of Frau—then you’re either blind or willfully ignorant. She’s a total communist/stazi b****!

It's the same headline, and the same content in the article. The Daily Mail is essentially just parroting BILD.


And saying Merkel is a communist is just ridiculous. She is a center-right politician.

She’s a realpolitik politician who had no problem cutting deals with putin—even after 2014. Don’t hide behind that “she’s a center-right politician” façade. Get your facts straight.

Also, by clinging to the words I throw at you, you tend to miss the bigger picture — the fact that the former chancellor of Germany was deeply flawed. The Frau that Failed. (overall politics wise)

I can’t think of a single person on this forum that loves Angela Merkel, dude. But you cannot just call someone a “communist” just because they defend Russia. Communism is a political term for a specific kind of economic system. I get you lived under Soviet authoritarianism, and I’m sorry for you, but you can’t just go calling this current Russian administration communist. That’s not what they are. It’s a right-wing fascist dictatorship with expansionist agendas.

I admit I sometimes choose my wording in the heat of the moment. (“Communists — BAAAAD.”) You get the idea — it’s more of an insult than an accurate label. Also, I can’t exactly call her that other word starting with a C, you know. I’d get banned. So…
 
I do think Merkel gets too much hate from all sides. Her failures aren't just hers alone and she genuinely tried to serve the country and the world rather than just her own ambition.

What's your opinion on the "Coalition of the Willing" or the "Multinational Force Ukraine"?

So far, the “Coalition of the Willing” looks weak — lots of talk but not nearly enough meaningful action. First off, it would be great if the skies over Ukraine were secured. The hard, sad truth is that, without U.S. help or involvement, Europe is not very capable of deterring its enemies.

You already called her a bitch multiple times, so I feel like cunt would actually have been less aggressive, but you do you I guess.
 
Less aggressive than “a communist”? Really? In this time and place? Using that “C” word toward a woman? I’m honestly very confused right now. Also I **** "b" word.
