Shucks!! Our USA pot has been empty for years and we still spend like there is no tomorrow.
Outstanding comment.
Those socialist Nazis who outlawed communists, social democrats and labor unions in 1933 and proceeded to send them to concentration camps.
I guess to throw people off the scent?
Gotta take care of all those Muslim “migrants” who want to turn Germany in Germanistan.

“WW3 is running out of other people’s money.”
Well they haven’t gotten every last dime out of the USA.... yet (working on it).
Germany used to have a plan to deal with Semitic people.
Wonder what happened with that?
Chancellor Scholz! It’s Putin on the phone!
Something about Königsberg?
The National Socialist German Workers Party was as totalitarian and socialist as any communist party in any other country.
Those terms aren’t interchangeable.
Totalitarian, sure.
The Nazis were as socialist as anyone.
I’m sure Biden and Mike Johnson will be more than willing to make up for the lost Germany money flowing in by giving Ukraine more of our tax dollars.
It's conservatives in Congress that oppose funding it.
The governments in Europe, though pulling with us for now, are facing increasing scrutiny by the people for what is a widely unpopular war. That is why there are no more opinion polls. Their governments are quick to use polls when they know it benefits them.
In fact, alternative parties like the AfD in Germany and others across Europe are gaining more and more followers.
At this point, the only way the old rival parties SPD and CDU can reign is if these once diametrically opposed parties form coalitions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_coalition_(Germany)
You’re going to see major political changes in Europe over the next few years.
Ukraine will help precipitate this.
I know this is the prevailing opinion in conservative circles, but that’s just not the case in any meaningful way.
I also know a discussion here will likely not result in any progress, so I would just encourage you to perhaps look a bit more into it and the actual definitions and characteristics of these terms your using as if they’re all the same.
My grandfather was an actual Nazi and he would have got his bayonet and stabbed you in the neck had you called him a socialist or a communist.
In 1933 the Germans didn’t have any choice other than one form or another of government control. You didn’t really have control over any property under the Nazis. You had to do what the government wanted. I don’t see any effective difference between the two parties. To me, if your grandfather didn’t recognize it in 1933, he should have by 1945.
Or is it because they blew up the pipeline?
That a Threat? Zelensky Warns Ukrainians in Europe Could Act ‘Unpredictably’ if Western Aid Is Cut
Breitbart ^ | 09/13/2023 | Oliver JJ LanePosted on 9/13/2023, 9:43:02 AM by ChicagoConservative27
"Don’t push Ukrainians into a corner by cutting Western support for the war or else the millions of refugees who are presently “behaved well” in Europe may start to act unpredictably, President Zelensky has said."
ransomnote: What I want to know is where are all of FRee Republic's pro Ukrainian zealots? Why aren't they on this thread denouncing threats made on American lives unless and free speech we do what Zelensky tells us? They always claim to be staunch American taxpayers. If they don't come out strong on threats like these, they will lose more of their 'prestige' on FR.
First the points you are making in the post don’t form a cogent argument so I will ignore the parts that don’t apply to the topic, like the first sentence, except to say, Germans had no choice once Hitler consolidated power.
Your property could certainly be taken and you could be sent to prison, a consecration camp or even killed. But privatization was encouraged and many industries were privatized and remained so provided you didn’t upset the Nazis.
Not sure what 2 parties you’re referring to.
The US will just borrow more to make up for Germany.
