Aristides

He was Vicki's grandson but he was very unpopular with the rest of the family. Wilhelm called Edward VII, "Satan" and "the old Peacock" and his relations with George V weren't much better.

Britain's strength was always its navy, its regular army was puny compared to France and Germany. That's why Kaiser Bill called it the "contemptible little army". Britain and Germany had been engaged in a naval arms race since the turn of the century with Germany trying to match the RN's strength. Germany requested Britain's neutrality in the event of a European war. Britain refused. The Germans miscalculated in 1914 just as Hitler did in 1939. Britains foreign policy was always to back the weaker side in Continental conflicts to prevent one power from becoming too dominant.

Exactly, Germany invaded France through Belgium. Germany won the Franco Prussian war, why the need to invade again?

The Schlieffen Plan to invade France was developed in 1905.

Assault rifle bans and background checks are not unconstitutional. Stop hiding behind the 2nd amendment to justify murdering children.

Kaiser Bill started WWI Odd that these Russians would adopt an emblem from a country they had to fight in two world wars. Don't you think?

Absolutely.

You don't even believe in your own democracy. That's what other countries find scary.

You are the one crying about gun rights son.

Doesn't seem to bother you much, certainly not enough to make it more difficult.

Who's crying, I'm grateful I live where I do.

So straight white guys shooting up schools is not wrong behaviour in the US. Good to know.

Already there.

We don't have to try Europe, Canadians don't make excuses for murdering school kids either.

No, that's you talking about trans people.

Poor confused deranged white guys armed to the teeth with people like you making it easy for them.

Same sick logic bud.

First things first, what a hoot. Straight white guys have been murdering school kids for decades.

You probably think tobacco companies should be suing lung cancer victims as well.

For what?

Look what happened when the dozens of straight white males opened fire on innocent children. Just collateral damage to you.

They will get away with whatever the public allows them to in any system. Many of these countries also have military, courts and national police that have been politicized. Uncommon in mature western democracies but not the rest of the world. I do not include the US in that category yet although their SC is a big concern. They elected Trump but also fired him 4 years later and wouldn't stand for his attempted coup. For all its ugliness, the checks are still working.

Dead school kids are DEAD KIDS!

Your responses speak for themselves.

Ignore the fact that your hero's wear the emblem of one of the most notorious SS divisions and overseers of death camps. Gawd, I don't know how you can expect anyone to believe that fairy tale.
