    I agree completely. I just take issue with your terrible misuse of an apostrophe.

    Nearly all major cities have a beautiful downtown historic district - even most small towns. Most of the city can be completely run down, but the local government will make their area look good.

    I dont need your support or sympathy.

    Yes i believe your country is a shithole and i see me and my people superior to yours? Deal with it.

    You ask what car i drive? A VW Golf VI and sometimes my fathers Mercedes. Im an apprentice so i have not a gigantic income yet.

    We do have awesome nature here. The Thüringer Wald.

    Beside that, what i have what you dont have? I have an 8pack. And you are old and soon cold.

    How long did the British Empire last compared with your German Empire? And how many casualties were created in the British Empire when compared to your German "Empire". Simply attacking your neighbors and killing them and then holding them at gunpoint does not an Empire make.

    The last time Americans decided to remove a base from Germany it was the Germans who changed their tune quickly because the local economy depended on them. I'm all for removing those bases also. Perhaps the Russians can take up the slack. https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2017/10/30/war-many-others/

    Those Bolsheviks apparently didn't know what they were dealing with, making a deal with a regime headed by people who rose to power out of fear and hatred of the Bolsheviks!

    That's about half fact and half ideological blather. I do agree that it was bizarre that Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize without doing anything to earn it. Given the military interventions during his presidency, I'll be that's one prize the Nobel Committee wishes it could take back.

    As far as the qualities that you attribute to Obama and claim are "well known," they are not well-known at all. They are the mindless prattle of someone who puts tribal identity politics above objectivity.

    I do not remember writing the word "shortcomings" nor the word "disagree." I also do not remember your using the word "shortcomings" the the post I quoted.

    During British empire only 20 million people died from starvation in India. How many were killed during rebellions- I do not have numbers, but a lot. Buy the way, it was Churchille who said that it was fine to use gas against uncivilized tribes. As I said, Germany was a super power- advanced technologies, sciences etc. It was an Empire IMHO.
    Russia does not need bases in Germany, too many internal economic problems to be present also in Germany.

    That's because you didn't use those words. I did. But you did say, "As far as the qualities that you attribute to Obama and claim are "well known," they are not well-known at all. They are the mindless prattle of someone who puts tribal identity politics above objectivity".

    So which part of my post do you consider "mindless prattle".

    It was never an 'Empire', even in the most generous way.

    In order to have an Empire there has to be some stability in the conquered nations, the establishment of laws according to the victors - as well as having an effect on the culture - and it must continue for an extended length of time. The Romans and Brits did it, among others, but never the Germans. Invading your neighbors until you were forced into retreat and defeat is not any kind of 'Empire'. And who has ever deliberately chosen German culture as a way of life?

    Then Britain can not be called an Empire either. There was always instability in India and Pakistan during the colonial times. Culture? In no way the British culture was installed in India. They speak English there- OK. But German was also the main language in Europe from the middle of 19th century until the end of WW2.

    Namibia, Chile and parts of Brazil and Argentina chose German culture as way of life.

    The Romans? Who are they? You mean those we made fertilizer from their rotting corpses in our fields and then burning down their capital?

    What you got is a crummy job, a place to live so cheap you dare not mention it, and a level of racist ignorance and personal fear that is off the charts. You'll never have wealth. You are a low level German worker-bee and never will be allowed to be otherwise. You have a long petty little life in the little box the German government put you in. Your messages tell a very scared little man ahead of you hiding out in your backward terrified and hate filled irrelevant little city, pretending to be a tough guy on a foreign forum. You've already conceded your so scared you'd turn Muslim and bow down to the Muslim prophet if that will keep you safe. It is hard to imagine anyone of that little courage and lack of self esteem as that.
