After Arrests, Germany Confronts Issue Of Far-Right Extremism In Its Military : Parallels : NPR

Seeking peace often means confronting evil - Washington Times

Germany is an ok country with good beer and attractive women (relatively speaking) but beyond this they seem to be in two stages, either fully pacifist or homicidal maniac stage. At every chance they have gotten they have destroyed civilization after civilization from the romans during the time of Nero to the Greeks today. Do they ever have anything good to offer others besides their arrogance, tanks, or debt collectors?

I was just in Germany (just got back) and while people acted nice that was the problem. It all felt like an act, I almost felt like I was in the middle of this huge cult of dark thinkers who are deep down very much worse than they let on.

Can they change? Will they ever move pass their nazi past, and will they ever stop forcing refugees on countries that can't handle them and stop profiting on the suffering of other EU nations?

you are exaggerating. Germany just invaded some European countries, far from "destroying civilization". There is a whole world outside tiny Europe.

Well civilization they could reach. Each time they gained power they did nothing good with it.

Good to know your definition of "an ok country".

It doesn't matter really, Germany lost military power, they're now loosing political and economic power (Brexit - the beginning of the end of the eu).

Better question to ask is: What will happen to the countries who are "allies" of Germany today (France, Eastern Europe, Greece, Italy, Turkey). Their future is unclear.

I wouldn't be too sure about the first paragraph, they seem to be coming down hard on Britain and tightening the coils around Greece. With Erdogen, Putin, Trump, etc. Merkel has positioned herself (falsely) as the only alternative and now everyone must submit to the german power.

Nuts!

They preach tolerance and pro-refugee rhetoric to others and then do this at home, hypocrites.

They're the only alternative in alternative universe where only Western countries exist.

The UK is still projected to become Europe's biggest economy in 10-20 years and they are improving their ties with their best friends from India who are now the the world's fastest growing economy.

Greece for now accepts German rule because they give them loans who the Greeks of course can't repay. It will be a miracle if Greece is still a country after 20 years, they don't produce anything and get loan after loan...

The only people outside Germany who like the country/immigrate there are closeted racists who think the world is just beer and BMW. As these people will be the future generations you can guess they can't do much.

Yeah, we get your agenda, OP. You don't need to spell it out loud and clear for us.

What's the OP's agenda? I see this type of stuff posted about another country all the time and it's all high fives from the audience. There's definitely a double standard.
