Berlusconi now completely mad - should Germany invade?

[Drake Tungsten]

However, you'll find many less nazis in today's Germany than in any other western country.

I'm talking about real Nazis, not neo-Nazis. They aren't all dead yet.

[BeBMan]

It is not funny, it is grotesque, when the guy who has problems with democratic justice in his own country accuses others of being Nazis...

[Drake Tungsten]

So basically you don't like Berlusconi, which makes his comment abhorrent. I don't remember this sort of outrage emanating from Germany when Bush was the Nazi, so it must be something about Berlusconi that you don't like, not the comment itself.

Well, if you start joking that Germany should take over Italy like during WW2....

[KrazyHorse]

You have an interesting take on Italy's participation in WWII.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well, KH, the Germans did take over Italy after Benito kicked the bucket... it was a invasion of German troops basically.

But I'd love to see a modern rematch . FIGHT! FIGHT!

[KrazyHorse]

Not much of an invasion of German troops. IIRC they were already in place holding the line for the incompetent Italians.

Just desserts, actually...

It would be interesting, wouldn't it? The Germans aren't really in fighting shape these days, but the Italians are Italian. Could be a good matchup.

All I'm waiting for is the French to try to come in.. and surrendering 3 days later .

Sure I don´t like him, that´s right. But as long he doesn´t say stupid things, I don´t care. I do not like a lot of politicians, but some of those I don´t like I still respect. But this guy should improve his own knowledge about democracy before he tries to complain about others. What happens in Italy is up to the Italian people to decide, but this is was not about inner-Italian problems.

If you think I can´t judge objectively about guy I don´t like, then may I remind you on your comment about Schröder in this thread?

And it was absolutely a big deal in Germany what our minister said, otherwise she could be still in office....

Then the Ethiopians will show up and rout them all!

I was under the impression that she was fired as a way for Schroeder to mend relations with Washington, not because anyone in Germany found her remarks to be offensive.

The newspapers here were full of this, and they all pointed out that it was an idiotic statement. And all people with a sense for reality thought the same. At this time relations to the US were down anyway (because of the Iraq thing), and there were down still for a time after this case, so this alone doesn´t explain why she was fired.

I stand corrected.

Ich würde dort bin vermutlich mehr Nazis in Deutschland und NeoNazis in Amerika sagen. Übrigens benutze ich ein Übersetzerwerkzeug. Ich kenne ein wenig Deutsches nicht an allen. Anderes dann Deutschland Uber Alles, selbstverständlich.

Sie sind nicht das einzige wer das Übersetzen der Werkzeuge verwenden kann, Tassadar.
