Millions of Russians and Belarusians fell in the fight to liberate Germany from the Nazi regime. However, the German fascists had previously killed 5.7 million Soviet prisoners of war. Murder by starvation, murder by torture, murder by execution. Among these victims, Russians and Belarusians made up the majority. These victims are explicitly excluded from the “Central Memorial Ceremony on the 80th Anniversary of the End of World War II on May 8th” by a majority of the German Bundestag.
Hate towards the victors and liberators
This historical forgetfulness of hatred towards the victors and liberators comes from the Baerbock household and is even accompanied by the formulation of a job instruction, to use the “house rule” if necessary, to kick out the Russians if they want to participate in the commemoration of the victims. This hatred can be seen in the Baerbock-Opa Waldemar. According to a Wehrmacht file, he was a “conditional National Socialist”. Now, Baerbock tries to win this Nazi war retrospectively through her job instruction.
“Never again”
The German Nazi grandchildren are not guilty of speaking due to their ancestry. However, they should confront history: it demands a clear “Never again”. While the Germans fulfill this claim towards the murder of European Jews almost exemplary, they obviously do not feel guilty towards the Russians, let alone that gratitude towards the liberators that would normally be due.
Racial war from the AA
This split blindness towards history is a form of racism: Himmler’s “subhuman” – in a 1942 pamphlet by the Reichsführer SS – is obviously understood as a guideline by the Federal Foreign Office to this day. This pamphlet justified the war against the Slavic peoples as a racial war and provided ideological underpinnings for the Nazi murders.
War-drunk functionaries
In the footsteps of her grandfather Waldemar, Baerbock declared before the Council of Europe: “We are fighting a war against Russia.” Who might “we” be? Who declared war on Russia? If it were only Baerbock alone who wanted to go to war against Russia, we could wave her goodbye. But she and other war-drunk functionaries from Germany could drag the whole country into a new war. This war-drunkness cost Germany 3.8 to 4 million dead soldiers and 1.65 million civilians in the Second World War.
Nuclear deterrence?
Those who want to save themselves, their colleagues and their neighbors must fall in line with the ideologically stuck Baerbock. And those who want to flee from her should take a long journey. Because the lady claims: “The commitment to nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear deterrence are not contradictory in these times.” She obviously plays with the “nuclear deterrence”. This “deterrence” would make Central Europe uninhabitable in a war scenario. The terrible Baerbock may have a nice bunker in sight. The regular citizen without a state-owned bunker should orient themselves towards the withdrawal of Baerbock.
