German threat

[Gorbechev]

There is a situation arising in Germany that shows an amzing resemblance to what happened in the 2nd world war.

Currently, over 8 million people are out of work in the country. In 1939, hitler put as many people to work in war factories.

President of germany is not a bad person, but preventative measures should be taken to ensure that his predescessor is as good as him.

Just because unemplyment is high doesn't mean the country is about to invade someone. There were plenty of differences, and other factors came into play into the 1930's.
But there is a serious rise in anti-semitism in Germany currently.

I could and have said the same thing about American! Fascism isn't limited to Germany! Sterben Sie Yank!

You'd think after having their asses handed to them in a paper bag twice in a row they'd learn to keep aggression to a minimum. Truth be told though, I think war is the last thing on Germany's mind. In actuality, they happen to be the world's third economic nation, just after Japan. Germany has too much to risk by cutting off ties with other nations in an act like war.

I don't remember only losing after having nearly every major nation in the world against them being called "having their asses handed to them in a paper bag." Germany is a very formidable nation.

Ok, even if Germany had a military force 1281123123 times the size of US, I don't think they would ever dream of using it. I happen to do be friends with quite a few germans, and they conveyed to me that the public setiment is neutrality in every possible form. Not only have they seen a war ravage their country, but also two major political powers turn their country into a staging ground for one of the biggest stalemates of all time. I don't think I would be too keen on starting some nonsense after all that. Besides, they have the love parade..a place for all those unemployed workes to get drunk, dance and forget their worries.

The main reasons Germany lost WWII was because

A)Hitler was a dumb ass. He was a great public speaker, but he was no general, which he tried to be. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Rommel and several other officers try to assassinate him? They knew he was going to be the death of them all.

B)Hitler wasn't very good with economics either. End result: the German war machine ran out of resources.

i don think German will want to leash a war anymore.
first of all, they have known that they lost both of the World war. and somemore, they are under the supervision by allies power, like the japan.

furthermore, once bitten, twice shy. no one will want to do any agressive war once they hear the consequences which are repeatedly publicised by the older generation. UNLESS they have all become total history.

MUSIC that the citizen will face.
ex:- the suffer they face. be it, the loser or the winner.
secondly, the harsh, cold-blooded, inhumane environment they have to create in order to encourage ppl to go to war.
lastly, innocent lives are lost due to uncontrollable wrath. be it, comes from an individual cult leader or a political group.

anyway, war will make the economy dive deep down and even worst, "brain drain".
