Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

[DrPoon]

NRW just had their press conference with (possible) new Corona rules. They will detail it tomorrow and formalize it the day after, but it seems that not only 2 G /2 G+ rules will be expanded, also clubs (and disco's, etc) in NRW are likely to close.

What about GT which is supposed to open tomorrow?

You guys are not thinking. The US would never have dropped a nuclear bomb on Germany / Europe. The result would have been communist Russia being dominant in the region with Communism taking over the whole of Western Europe in addition to Eastern Europe. The US hates Communists more than Nazis.

If Russia hadn't been an ally in 1945, they would have gotten nuked too.

[McAdonis]

The US hates Communists more than Nazis.

Well uneasy alliances are always formed. Geopolitics 101.

Even before the United States entered World War II in December 1941, America sent arms and equipment to the Soviet Union to help it defeat the Nazi invasion. Totaling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today’s currency, the Lend-Lease Act of the United States supplied needed goods to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 in support of what Stalin described to Roosevelt as the “enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy — bloodthirsty Hitlerism.”

Had Hitler listened to his generals who were more seasoned in combat tactics than him he would not have fought a war on two fronts. He could have left Russia for another time and concentrated all his forces on Western Europe.

It was essentially a one-front war 1941-1943. British Army was not in any shape to invade continental Europe. And even with concentrated forces, Germany could not match the Royal Navy, so an amphibious invasion of Britain would have been foolish. Summer of 1940 the Luftwaffe did try to bomb Britain in hopes of forcing an armistice, but that failed. Either way, Hitler's major objective, as he articulated decades earlier was to expand eastward and exterminate people he viewed as subhumans (Bolsheviks, Jews). Had he waited another year, the Red Army would have not been caught off-guard. Even with 80 percent of his army on the eastern front, he could not force Russia to surrender.

An armchair expert on Quora:

Hitler wasn't faced with a war on two fronts. He was victorious in continental Europe. France was defeated and Britain confined to her island and incapable of launching a land invasion of France. U-boats were strangling the UK's ability to feed and re-arm. The USA was not in the war and a strong anti war movement existed in that country. Consequently by the end of the summer of 1940 there was no risk to Hitler's western flank. The Germans saw that the USSR was very weak. Its officer corp had been decimated by Stalin's paranoid purges and had been almost defeated by tiny Finland in the Winter War of 1939. Hitler had planned to launch Opperation Babarossa earlier in 1941 but was forced to come to the aid of his ally Mussolini who had got into trouble in his farcical attempt to invade the Balkans. Hitler was forced to postpone the jump off from the begining of May until the end of June 1941 sending units to invade Greece. This delay proved fatal and meant that German forces who got in sight of the towers of the Russian capital but just failed to take Moscow because of the winter snows. This stalling of the invasion allowed Stalin vital breathing space to reorganise and bring up fresh divisions from Siberia.

It's not looking good my mongers. It's not looking good. I told you we had to be on guard for what might happen during the winter. It's not looking good for travel to Europe and / or the clubs remaining open in Germany (and some other countries too).

Then bad luck for GT Oceans.

[Maxime]

UK, Belgium, NL, CZ, etc are already discouraged to go to CH (test + quarantaine for EVERYONE, also people who are 2 G compliant! So let's hope Germany will not follow this same rules.

Spain starts to do the same (for people from UK), etc, so hurry if you still can!

BTW, was in German club few days ago, and (almost) everywhere they use 2 G+ now, so Vaccinated / Cured PLUS negative test is needed to enter. Result: much less men and girls are about to take an early Christmas break.

German scientists made the nuke for the USA by the way. As always, there are far more behind the official story than what anyone here knows. Always that is the case. Most wars are pre-planned.

Had Hitler listened to his generals who were more seasoned in combat tactics than him he would not have fought a war on two fronts. He could have left Russia for another time and concentrated all his forces on Western Europe. Also had he not regarded Britain as a possible ally he could have wiped out the British forces at Dunkirk which is what some of his top military men wanted. Instead he allowed them to escape back to England. Having destroyed England's army he would then have control of all of Western Europe and then turn his sights on Russia. In such a scenario there was no possibility of America invading Germany. America would have concentrated on Japan. America would obviously have beaten Japan. With a one front war of the German controlled Western Europe against Communist Russia what would America have done?

Only if Germany had caught some ideas from the winter war in Finland. Cause damn how little they knew of winter warfare!

[Pistons]

An intelligent person would have looked at that link and could argue several things:

- the data is old.

- the data doesn't show intensive care occupancy, which is what counts.

You just dismiss everything that doesn't suit what is made up in your, let's call it brain (and I am being very generous here) as "drinking the internet" regardless of the source. There is a difference for example between a study published in the Lancet and the facebook post of an unemployed dog portrait painter.

Yet you post a link to me dated 8th November? What data was old you say?

[Pistons]

Israel, a top vaccination country (including boosters), seems to have come down from their September peaks quite nicely.

LOL, you are really quoting that deaf link he made which is more than 3 weeks old?

[Mursenary]

If they never dropped it on Japan then Japan would have caused China never to be a world power and we would never have had Communist China as a problem and never would have had coronavirus created either.

And Japan would have been the undisputed King of the far east with a modern military, national singularity that western nations cam only dream of, a belief in the superiority of their people, and access to every precious metal on earth. Yeah,

I'm sure nothing bad would have came out of an unchecked Japanese empire.

No control on internet: many fakes and bullshits, information not accurate on the day. Just for your information, things are getting worst and worst in Germany, even before Omicron impact, when Olaf Scholtz will be soon after Angela, big work to come for him from NRW?

Worse in Germany? No shit, of course.

Hospitals full? Not yet. Far from it.

Hitler had brokered a pact with Stalin in 1939, so that he could focus on the Western allies first. By June of 1940, after only six weeks, France, Belgium, and Holland fell, leaving only Britain to defend Western Europe.

This victory over the French convinced Hitler he could achieve the same quick and decisive outcome in Russia. So in June 1941, Hitler betrayed the Nazi-Soviet pact, and launched the largest invasion in history. Three quarters of the German army fought on the eastern front. And as much 80 percent of the Wehrmacht's casualties occurred there as well.

The decision to invade Russia was made prior to the USA officially joining the conflict in December 1941. Had USA not entered the conflict, it is conceivable that the Nazis could have achieved victory in both Britain and Russia. Especially if Japan had attacked Russian forces in Siberia like Hitler had hoped for. Instead the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

If, if, if! Could have, would have, should have. Had, had not. Reminds me of an argument I had with a friend once. Germany had the best military in the entire world during WW2 he raised his voice! Oh yes. Well. The best lost! And thank God for that! Germany is now a kinder, gentler nation where a Japanese guy like Mr. Ho can go get his arse licked LOLOLOL!

Sure, why don't you say who those 4 French TV channels are, after all they hold universal truth for you. One could say that you are "drinking the TV" or "drinking radio." Those 4 French TV channels, they have an internet presence too. They say the same thing on TV and in their internet articles. Is the same information true if somebody reads it in front of a TV camera but false if it is on a website of the same TV channel? The link that you dismissed as "drinking the internet" was from the official German Federal Office of Statistics. If their information is printed on paper, is it more reliable than the same information on their website?

I totally agree that there is plenty of BS on the internet, after all you are a very prolific internet BS producer. Dismissing official or trusted sources of information because unemployed dog portrait painters post BS on facebook is just stupid.

TF1, France TV, BFM TV, LCI, RMC, Europe 1, France inter, for information, daily. I m fully sure much more reliable than internet, at least about EU, covid. Other channels for sports like Eurosport or Canal +, or music like Oui FM. When you don't sleep much, you have more time than others, more than 20 hours per day. There are controls on TV or radio when no control on internet. We got a French I think ex baker, telling HIV don't exist, if you have a arm cut, no problem a new one will grow, having 500000 followers, making money from his bullshits, I can't compete for followers even I already have too many. I don't hear Germany is fine about covid like they seem to hear in US when they read from beginning of the year. I wonder why they cancelled big money Munich Christmas market and maybe not so far from Winter lockdown, like 1 year ago, when SA Omicron just arrived, not spreading yet.

Except for when I post internet data from sources like the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control.

You are speaking in generalities out of stubbornness.

You already mentioned that you select your television sources, same for internet sources. Do you trust all television sources?

OK. Boomer.
