Actually the real house of prostitution is the American government. Congressmen and senators turning lobbyists, Pentagon generals being hired by military contractors, Lantos serving as a whore for Israeli interests. One could go on and on....

This guy is really full of it. 'US saved Europe from fascism' - right :-) This guy does not even attempt to be objective at all. On D-Day Nazis' fate was already set in stone and only timing was uncertain. All of their strongest armies were destroyed in Stalingrad and Kursk.

As for Schroeder, he did the right thing for the Germany. He helped building the pipeline that would guarantee energy security and independence from unreliable countries through which natural gas is currently being delivered. His job was to do what is best for Germany. This guy must be really out of this world to see that as improper.

Schroeder is a real jack*ss and to name him a political prostitute is insulting prostitutes.

I heard when he was chanceler, he was sueing a newspaper in germany because they published a story that he was dying his hair.

What a pompous ass.

VicTalk,

Russia could have never made any advances against the germans without massive finacial and equipment help from America.

Yes, America saved Europe from Hitler.

Your ignorance of history is pathetic.

Oh no, please not this america saved europe alone nonsense.


Actually they participated in freeing europe from nazism. Yes, and thats all.

They did the second biggest part but if you hear some americans talk , you might think they did it all alone.

Most of the entire war they did supply Britain and Russia with weapons. You cannot simply add those years to the D-Day invasion and make 6 out of 2 war in europe years.


Americans tend to forget that there were the Soviet Union, Canada , The UK, free Poland and free France troops also involved.

Mainly the SU by the way, that dealt with 70 % of germanies military power while america AND Britain AND Canada AND troops from Poland and de Gaulles free france dealt with the weaker rest on the west front and in Italy. (And nontheless they took considerable losses and had no easy task)

It were THE ALLIES who won the war together. One of them alone had lost it.
