Germany at WAR

Yorick · 11-18-2001, 05:03 PM

Just read Schroeder committed 4,000 troops to Afgahnistan.

First time since WWII.

I guess Germany must be after the oil there too. Stuff, even Australia and France must want some of that oil.

Seriously, does it freak anyone out that German troops will be on the ground? I know it's a long time, a different generation and plenty of water has gone under the bridge etc. But I feel for the Deutsch soldiers on the ground. It'd be wierd.

I'm actually really glad Russia, America, Germany, Britain, Japan and even China are all pretty united on the issue.

There is the argument that the thing that would unite humanity more than anything would be an extra terrestrial invasion.

Bummer that we get some positives, only from negatives.

I don't see any problems with Germany going to Afghanistan. They are our allies and have "paid their dues" in some ways!

Let them go and get that oil that everybody is talking about

Hey, maybe the Jerries could divide Afgahnistan between them, Austria and the Ruskies, and rename the place New Poland! [img]smile.gif[/img]

LOL [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] the only thing is that we have to make sure to leave the town of New Danzig to the Germans (see, we can learn from history).

LOL! Thats so WW2 its sorta funny..
Poland was pretty much the European playground back then I think..

Skunk · 11-23-2001, 07:22 AM

And does anyone freak over the idea that British troops are on the ground? The British have the dubious honour of having invented the concentration camp...

People change, societies change. I'm just very glad to see all the ex-axis powers lending aid to the current action. Hell, even Russia is talking to Nato right now - and I'm *VERY* pleased about that.

Some good seems to be coming from 9-11... Those deaths were not totally in vain. I just hope that the world doesn't lose this new found spirit of co-operation...

Some historical corrections:
Austria, Russia and Germany (Prussia in fact) destroyed Polish independence at the end of XVIII century and again after Napoleons times.
At the begining of WW2 Poland was divided by Germans and Russians only (Ribbentrop-Molotov pact). That agreement was in big part confirmed in Jalta - there is really no need for Germans if you want to divide someones else country (so one third or more of pre-WW2 Poland is now east of Polish borders). British and Americans can do it also, maybe even beter. Thank you allies.
