      marx-doomer: “Cool, does that mean we’ll see some jobs brought over here for us to work at?”

      amerikkka-clap: “Don’t be silly, it’s MY reserve army of labor to sit on and do nothing with!”

    Good.

    Everytime they do this a nato country has an energy crisis and a new third world country gets a new very reasonably priced supply of oil.

    Now if the Europeans could stop reacting to those energy crisis by electing people who want to power their homes by pressing immigrants into oil we'd be all set.

    "Alright scamps, you got me, sanction package 14 was my red line. Go on I'll surrender then" putin-wink

    Why do I so often get the feeling that most sanctions on Russia are carefully chosen to benefit certain western oligarchs?

      Because they are. I mean first few packages were likely aimed at both Russia and enriching west oligarchs, but after 13 didn't worked against Russia, the reason they keep doing it simply must be the other aim.

    After ww2 Germany should've been abolished. Stalin had too much humanity and wasn't able to make the hard but necessary decision to push on past Berlin.

    Edit: I can relate. I'm a softy and would've done the same thing.

      As is typical for bourgeois Germans, the otherwise exhaustively documented history of the Albrecht family has a mysterious gap between 1936 and 1945
