This Won't end Well for Germany

I like to think so however in the exceedingly rare occurrence where you catch me in an inconsistency please feel free to point it out because I hate hypocrisy. Especially if I'm guilty of it. You are aware of the fact that the "voter fraud" Trump apologists have been pushing on this forum for the past year is straight up Russian propaganda, aren't you?

and, if Trump were likely to lose the 2016 election, then Russia would shift its efforts to focus upon voter fraud in the United States in order to undermine the legitimacy of the United States electoral system and the elections.[72][73] Kammenos' positions followed closely with the Kremlin's talking points.[70]

I'm probably an ideologue too, although over time some of my views on things have changed, which is normal for everyone. I enjoy our sparring on here, and its never personal. I think it's extremely unfortunate that so many have little faith in our elections now, and both sides have done things to create that. I think both sides try to cheat in every election. The only way to get past this is to put systems in place to prevent it and get a few elections under our belt where hopefully neither side cries foul. However, policies like same day registration, ballot harvesting, and no proof of ID are not going to help the situation.

There is no Russian aggression against America and they are our future comrades. We would use the Chinese and Russian man-hood model. Which I have incorporated below for your review and approval.

A notice from China's education ministry has caused a stir after it suggested young Chinese men had become too "feminine". The message has been criticized as sexist by many online users - but some say China's male celebrities are partly to blame.

For a while China's government has signaled concern that the country's most popular male role models are no longer strong, athletic figures like "army heroes". Even President Xi Jinping, a well-known football enthusiast, has long been seeking to cultivate better sports stars.
So last week, the education ministry issued a notice with a title that left no doubt about its ultimate goal.
The Proposal to Prevent the Feminisation of Male Adolescents called on schools to fully reform their offerings on physical education and strengthen their recruitment of teachers.
The text advised recruiting retired athletes and people from sporting backgrounds - and "vigorously developing" particular sports like football with a view to "cultivating students' masculinity".
But there were some earlier signs suggesting such a move was coming. Last May, a delegate of China's top advisory body, Si Zefu, said that many of China's young males had become "weak, timid, and self-abasing".
There was a trend among young Chinese males towards "feminisation", he claimed, which "would inevitably endanger the survival and development of the Chinese nation" unless it was "effectively managed".

The little buggers eat too many soybeans which isn't exactly mood food for the testes.

America needs to remember the Sudetenland in the late 1930's. Germany said 'that's our land, we want it back' and the west said, 'Sure, go right ahead. After all it is populated by Germans'. Russia is using the same premise under a dictatorial leadership determined to recreate the Soviet Union. A bite here, a bite there, with no resistance, and you have Russia threatening Poland, Hungary, etc, with no one standing up and saying no. Same thing is happening in the South China Sea and even South America and the Caribbean with Chinese incursions. We stand up against them or we will be faced with much stronger adversaries with weak or no allies.

History repeats itself kind of. Sure. But the reality is that so much has changed. Russia can take the Ukraine, because the West has already got its hands tied with other more important problems. History has nothing to say here. Sudentenland in the late 1930's and the world was coming out of the Great Depression. No lie. They made the right decision then and now as well.

But Russia is no towering island of productivity as Germany was in the 1930's. It's a lazy retrogressive economy that is on the verge of collapse. That is what is different.

Wake up. While some things may seem similar, many things are quite different.

You worry too much.

Better we invest our money in figuring out how to stop those hypersonic missiles the Russians, Chinese and North Koreans have. Let the Russians bask in the sun in Chernobyl.

I don't trust the machinery in charge of the state issued ID systems. Frequently such offices exist but they are so insufficiently staffed as to discourage applicants. My "sentient cowboy hat" of a governor is crafting all sorts of schemes to influence the next election as others are sure to and we need federal oversight over such machinations, wouldn't you agree?

It seems to me that if your gov is breaking the law then that would be where the DOJ or a civil rights lawsuit would come in. Spot problem gets the spot fix. Simple.

Biden's DOJ is suing Texas for gerrymandering, but will it go after blue states for the same thing?

Maryland and Illinois do nearly the same thing with their congressional maps that the DOJ is suing Texas for.

The reality is the US military is not that strong. The Army only has 485K troops - and most of those are certainly not frontline. Morale is low, discipline lacking. And then too, Germany isn't helping things. To go overboard trying to keep Russia out of the Ukraine, would seriously weaken NATO defenses.

In fact, for the US to aggressively deploy troops and munitions to the Ukraine most likely would lead to a major conflict, perhaps nuclear. It would weaken the US military enough to make an incursion by Russia into Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia a real possibility.

It is smarter to instead strengthen the existing defenses in the NATO countries bordering Russia.

But, on the other hand, Biden doesn't want to appear as weak as he really is. So, likely, he will let the Generals send in air support.

And now all the talk is about Hillary Clinton running again for 2024. The Democrat voters will elect her for sure.

And yes, 50-50 we are doomed morally, if not economically.

At least my granddaughters are growing up in a country without all the WOKE rubbish being taught in the schools (Europe is still fairly conservative in education).

"Many in the French establishment view "woke" as a heinous US import of theories on race, post-colonialism and gender, which they say pose a risk to French values and identity, Samuel Hayat, a politics research fellow at French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), told CNN.

In May, Elizabeth Moreno, French President Emmanuel Macron's party diversity minister, told Bloomberg that "woke culture is something very dangerous, and we shouldn't bring it to France." When asked in August whether "wokism [is] a just cause, in your opinion" by weekly political magazine Le Point, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, who is the socialist candidate in the upcoming presidential elections, said: "it is very important that journalists shed light on these emerging movements, but I will not be campaigning on them."

Woke is seen as a threat that comes from a society thought to be multicultural and violent and does not have the same values on secularism that France does," Hayat said."

Analysis: The 'anti-woke' crusade has come to Europe. Its effects could be chilling

If 2020 renewed calls for racial equality as Black Lives Matter protests exploded throughout Europe, 2021 brought in the backlash as parts of the political establishment waged a so-called "war against woke."
