@DaveKeating It has always been like that since the beginning of the European community, which only got formed because the US made pressure after the war.

It's not just the 🇺🇸wars. It's everything. For 15 months, 🇪🇺President von der Leyen's first instinct has been to make excuses for whatever Trump does. No matter what, she must always be on America's side. Just like NATO Secretary General Rutte. Something is rotten in Brussels.

It's worth revisiting this absurd timeline of the 🇪🇺president's credulous Atlanticist instincts so far in the Iran war. 28 February: 🇺🇸President Trump, in a video announcing the start of the war, urges Iran’s people to “take over your government” as the US weakens the regime with strikes, saying “America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force.” 3 March: 🇪🇺President Von der Leyen, following the US killing of the ayatollah, credulously believes and endorses Trump's stated war aim of regime change to liberate the people of Iran. She calls for a transition to a democracy and blames the unfolding chaos *only* on Iran, ignoring the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack entirely. She again yesterday blamed only Iran. 1 April: 🇺🇸President Trump gives a primetime address insisting "regime change was not our goal. We never said regime change". He says he wants to keep the Islamic Republic regime in power (hoping for a repeat of what happened in Venezuela) and end the war with the Hormuz strait still closed. Not once but twice the 🇪🇺President has credulously believed stated US war aims of regime change and endorsed them (first with Venezuela and then with Iran) and ended up looking like a fool when that stated objective ended up being fake. Each time this happens it gets harder and harder to take her seriously. euronews.com/2026/03/01/ira…

@abt_schwarzer @GanzeGeschichte @ClemensHoltzen1 Und daß die USA ihre Präsenz immer weiter erhöhten.

@GanzeGeschichte @ClemensHoltzen1 Das hat mit den Fakten halt wenig zu tun. Frankreich u.a. War viel übler dran, der springende Punkt war der drohende Wegfall von Österreich-Ungarn.

DIE GANZE GESCHICHTE aufs Handy: t.me/dieganzegeschi… Fast vergessen: Deutschland hat 1918 Russland besiegt. Das (dann schon kommunistische) Russland erkannte den russischen Verlust und die deutsche Oberhoheit über die Ukraine, Polen und das Baltikum im Friedensvertrag von Brest-Litowsk offiziell an. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedensv…

@MartGuenzel @PNemschak @PeterBussjaeger Oder sehr hohe Aufnahmeanforderungen

@MartGuenzel @PNemschak @PeterBussjaeger Das kriegt man aber fast nur mit Studiengebühren geregelt

Der Kollege hat zu 100%recht.

@EPichlbauer @PeterBussjaeger Können ja auch schriftliche Test sein, aber Seminararbeiten machen wohl bald keinen Sinn mehr

@PeterBussjaeger es ist im grunde einfach. wissensüberprüfungen wieder mündlich, und dann ist es egal, wie studenten zu ihrem wissen kommen

@Baerjew @pelsenir @Alex_J_Thiele Deswegen gibt es zumindest die Möglichkeit ein Urteil anzufechten.

@pelsenir @LavendelVicky @Alex_J_Thiele Richter können in der Praxis allerdings zu 100% selbst für skandalöseste Fehlurteile mit Ansage NICHT zur Verantwortung gezogen werden. Damit nehmen sie zu allen anderen Berufen eine Sonderstellung ein. Das muss natürlich grundsätzlich so sein, hat aber auch Schattenseiten.

Sog. gesundes Volksempfinden...

@lugaricano At least Spain has more sun!

Just staying on plan would have made Germany an (1) energy super power with cheap, abundant energy, (2) the lowest emissions CO2 and particulate emissions in the world and (3) strategically independent from Russia and the Gulf. BTW, Spain's plan is to follow this insane path.

@LudwigLaubach @Williamfrie1 @MedievalScholar The Franks have been the ruling class who conquered this land inhabited by Romans and Celts.

@Williamfrie1 @MedievalScholar He was not French, but Frankish in particular and therefore German, as Franks are one of the main tribes that make up the German people. The majority of French are not descendants of Franks who were a minority in what is now France.

On this day, April 2nd in 748 in Francia, Charlemagne was born. King of the Franks, Lombards and first Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire when he was crowned by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day in 800. He is known as the Father of Europe

@BogdanMateescu3 @CigsMake Maybe he is from Alsace-Lorraine

@CigsMake He somehow looks like a French veteran from the same war.

Last German veteran of the Franco-Prussian War (1870)

@NXT4EU Never heard of the Dutch colonies? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_col…

When the Netherlands needs more land, they start a war against the sea, not their neighbours. Be like the Netherlands.

@pelsenir @Baerjew @Alex_J_Thiele Richter sind auch fehlbar und können ideologisch abgleiten. Das sollte man doch aus der Nazi- und der DDR-Diktatur gelernt haben.

@Baerjew @Alex_J_Thiele Das Volk hat nicht Jura studiert oder war als Strafrichter tätig. Ich kann die Leistung eines Dachdeckers auch nicht beurteilen. „Volk“ sind auch die hysterischen Palis auf ihren Demos. Uninteressant

@GanzeGeschichte @PanPagan Da gab es in Deutschland aber noch ein paar genialere Erfindungen als Benzinkanister.

Auch gerade erst gelernt: Benzinkanister nennt man im Englischen "Jerry Cans", weil man sich deren Design im Zweiten Weltkrieg von den Deutschen (Germans = Jerrys) abgeguckt hat.

@onlmaps Charlemagne has been Frankish and therefore an ethnic German. His mother language was German (Frankish dialect).

All European Lands Ever Legally Ruled by Ethnic Germans

@simongerman600 You cannot have your cake ( becoming the capital again) and eat it. People from Berlin complaining about gentrification are delusional socialists. They should have voted for Bonn staying the capital to remain a provincial hinterland.

Financially, life in and around Berlin doesn’t look like fun anymore. It’s normal for the capital to be the most expensive city in a country. Berlin was artificially cheap as two regimes pumped it up. Since reunification price levels slowly crept up to high levels.

@CatholicReviva @VaclavPanovsky @MedievalScholar Yes but at least until the great interregnum it has been the case.

@LavendelVicky @VaclavPanovsky @MedievalScholar If thats the criteria, then still this being wasnt an empire, roman or holy for most of its history. Popes stoped crowning the emperors.

Upon even further deep reflection. The Holy Roman Empire was in fact holy, Roman and an empire

@HistorylandHQ Americans and Soviets meet at the Elbe in 1945.

Soviet and Nazi soldiers relaxing together at the joint Brest-Litevsk victory parade of 22nd September 1939 after successful conquest of Poland

@elie_foube16925 @HistorylandHQ Which has been a consequence of punishing and isolating the democratic Germany after WW1. Btw the Nazis first stopped this policy because the Soviet Union has been their ideological enemy. The cooperation with the Soviet union between 1939-1941 has just been a tactical exception.

@HistorylandHQ They trained each other before the invasion.

@VaclavPanovsky @MedievalScholar At least you agree for the time until the Staufer Dynasty, because this period of time gets often forgotten!

@LavendelVicky @MedievalScholar I don't care about your coping... the early emperors were sovereign rulers. After the Staufs, the emperor's power and authority eroded. The rulers then often didn't even attain the title of emperor.

@VaclavPanovsky @MedievalScholar It had an emperor crowned by the Roman pope - therefore holy, Roman and an empire!

@MedievalScholar Empire until the extinction of the Staufs. Never holy, Roman in name only.

@Puettmann_Bonn Die SPD hat es im Bund bei den Koalitionsverhandlungen doch genau so gemacht. Ich finde es gut wenn die CDU endlich davon lernt und sich von den Linken nicht mehr so über den Tisch ziehen lässt. Ministerparität und der Parlamentspräsident in BW müssen drin sein!

Einer der verkommensten Landesverbände der CDU führt ein Schmierentheater gekränkter Diven (Männer) auf. Staatspolitisch verantwortungslos.
