Guess that settles the question

Antijudaism and later antisemitism has been - and remains to be - a problem in all denominations and confessions. Nevertheless the historical record is quite obvious: the emancipation of Jews in protestant countries like the Netherlands, Britain, Scandinavia and- prior to the 1930s - also...

This is about Ukraine, not about your internal US politics. In terms of NATO cohesion and the strength of the deterrence Trump was an absolute wild card. Very destructive. He weakened NATO tremendously. Now, he was of course completely right in criticizing some European countries - most notably...

Well, this is the question, isn’t it? After Trump promising - because it would have sounded a promise to Putin - after Trump promising to take the US out of NATO the answer to this question is not sure anymore. The deterrence is not 100% anymore. Will the US, will France and the UK really risk...

Back to the topic then: it is of course just Russia trying to create confusion. No doubt that in his heart Putin would love to defeat the US and claim those and other territories. But there is no serious threat to him trying. Putin is a thug, but there is logic. He can be deterred. Ukraine was...

I am not sure whom you include in your definition of “western liberal democracies” but I see significant differences between them.

True. De iure the US is not an imperialist country. But it has used violence to change other countries. Most notably quite recently under President Bush. It is a kind of ideological imperialism. Just as deadly unfortunately.

The difference isn’t really between democracies and authoritarian regimes/monarchys but between imperialist countries and those that have given up on imperialism. The UK and France are responsible for some vile crimes against humanity in their colonies. In the 20th century. Notwithstanding their...

Good news! Christianity on Trial: Finnish bishop and politician acquitted on all charges - International Lutheran Council

Your decision. But the fact that you are not in the states does not mean that you have to endure things. Others mentioned the military police. Also - irrespective of your status - the German system like the shelter I mentioned is available to you. I have a decent-sized trailer. If you need your...

If I may, the moving to a place you do not prefer is not the issue. The obvious lack of communication skills, the verbal and physical violence is. Specifically under the influence of drink! You need help as a couple and he needs help individually for anger management. Do not take physical...

It sounds like you could be at risk. There are places you can go to immediately and stay. The term is “Frauenschutzhaus”. If you need any help finding one or need help with translation let me know. Also if you do not want that (yet) but are completely alone do get in touch. I have (female)...

So sorry, Samantha. All the best for you! If you are in the South of Germany and you need any help moving, shifting or transporting stuff I can possibly help.

In this song these Russian musicians mention Alaska as a part of their beloved motherland. Holy, indivisible Russia, given them by God from above, so very close to their heart. Considering what the Russian army is at this moment doing to other lands mentioned in their song as being close to...

It is the way the Russian army fights when they target cities. They did it in Grosny, did it in Aleppo. They do not have the training and the capability to conquer a city in a different way.

The style of your posts make me suspect that you are a paid Russian troll. I am not going to respond to you.

Scott Ritter!? George Galloway!? You should not fill your mind with those cranky ideas. Ukraine is winning this war. If we continue supplying them with weapons. Do not underestimate the morale advantage. They know who they are and know what they are fighting for. The result of this is clearly...

It depends. Almost always they are. In this case the acts of war are an invasion of a country by its neighbor who wants to subdue the invaded country. I honestly have no idea what you are referring to. What is the liberal imperium??! Russia must not sacrifice her interests. Just stop bullying...

What is it with your obsession with neoconservative. They are history. They were influential under Bush and are responsible for the forever war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Both those wars are over. Supplying Ukraine with weapons to defend themselves has nothing to do with neoconservativism. The...

So Reagan was a neocon living in a fantasy land? The lady is not reasonable and measured but defeatist and appeasing. And worst of all: wrong. Of course Ukraine can win this war. The Russian loses are immense already and the morale amongst Russian soldiers is terrible. Because they realize...
