Forbidden soup

Ah Shit, here we go again.

This is perfect. Thanks for making me laugh-cry.

Okay nice, have a nice evening.

No :) Wanna insult my gramps again maybe?

• start discussion
• "loose interest" when opponent hast different opinion that me

Why even start?

Bonus points for bringing forth the same insult again and again.

But you did. I did not even start to discuss with you specifically. Could have ignored me.

Oh wow, are we now at just throwing insults, because you are in lack of arguments? Look at you, you must be proud of yourself for not understanding "No, he was no Nazi" and your firm worldview which can not handle a disussion with some rando on the internet.

To frame my answer differently:

How is it naive not to believe someone on the internet who isn't even backing up arguments with sources?

Also: Please show me participation of germany in iraq war.

And please answer to my argument of the military backed government. If you do not accept the definition of puppet state I posted, please provide another.

Furthermore: You do not need to be a puppet state to go to war together. You can simply be allies or have the same interests.

Okay, my comments are getting removed again. For what exactly, mods?

Hey thanks for the Ressources. Gonna give them a try this evening or tomorrow.

I think this differs very much from the term puppet state. If there has been some agreement you can not easily draw back, this is clear.

Definition of puppet state from Wikipedia: "Puppet governments are usually kept in power by military force provided by an occupying country and are strongly controlled."

So please prove that all of the countries, in which the US hast Military bases, have governments which are only upheld by the force of US military.

Also, a lot of countries have Military bases in different countries. Are all of these countries now automatically puppet states? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_overseas_military_bases

You can also see in this list, that Germany has another active Military Base from UK. Please decide now to which country Germany is a puppet state, UK or US? Oh and France has one, too. Maybe Germany is governed by France? All of them?

I am always very much in favor of people providing their spources themselves, if they want to make a Point.

But the US does still pay a lot of countrys aid. Does that make them colonialist? Every country on the list in the link down below?

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/countries-that-receive-the-most-foreign-aid-from-the-u-s

And I think there has to be more influence in a country than some military bases to be a puppet state. See list of US military bases: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_military_installations All of them puppet states?

I am unsure what you want to say with your last sentences, but I am sure that you do not speak for all people. So a sentence like "No one cares." is just ignorant and dishonest. :)

Then please show me west german colonies. Both east and west germany might have benefitted from their colonial past in which both were involved. To my knowledge germany lost all of it's colonies in first world war. Also why do you think the GDR was not a puppet state itself?

Also hot Take: Mods removing my comment but not others which aim to be insulting on a personal level is problematic.

Could be. Still wrong to imprison people just for wanting to leave. Also it's not like DDR was perfect with handling their workers, they did shit things, too

What about "No" do you not understand? You just had to look to west Germany and would see an economically easier life. Also DDR was not exactly a real demoncary, so this was frustrating, too.

Hey, yeah this is of course a Problem in many countries, "Brain-Drain" is no fun. I am also not shure on how to best address this. but I do not think that people should be imprisoned (okay, harsh term, but I am lacking better vocabulary here) by their native country. Everyone should ideally be able to roam freely. What would you suggest? Have them at least work some x years in their homecountry? Let them leave if they agree to pay back their education? Genuinley curious.
