Two German warships on South China Sea mission - DW "News"​

Russia's war against Ukraine has prompted Germany to beef up the country's long-constrained military, including expanding the Navy's capabilities. One of their roles is supporting allies across the world. Now, two German vessels are heading to the South China Sea. DW's Washington Bureau Chief Ines Pohl spent a few days on board. - DW "News"


Disclaimer/Things to note:

1) DW "News" is Germany based US/trans-atlanticist propaganda and misinformation outlet.

2) Germany is not a fully sovereign country but a de facto US vassal state.

3) The German military, as many other German institutions, is heavily infiltrated by US collaborators/agents.

4) Germany military personal, primarily officers, get heavily conditioned to support US hegemony, regardless of legality.

Personal View:

As expected, Germany does as commanded by its bosses in Washington DC. It seems Germany, through poor leadership, is trying to be on the wrong side of history once more, wittingly or unwittingly. IMHO, neutrality and prudence is the key to peace and stability. Aligning oneself with an out-of-control gang of thugs (i.e. neocons/neolibs) is recipe for disaster.

Seriously, Germany isn’t a navy power nor even a military power in general, are they asking to die or something, in fact if they got sunk in the SCS, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at how utterly dumb this is. Someone should sink one of these destroyers as an example, it’s the only language they understand, only do it in a manner that broke Hitler (enough to off himself) on public TV so that I can see Olaf sholz cry like the worthless little princess he is. I mean he hasn’t done anything but piss of China and Russia at the same time in that stupid humanitarian moralistic tone that deserves a chair to the head and ass.

It is very interesting how all the best stock traders are in government and not Wall Street.

This shows the immense wealth of the US and their highly innovative ability to attract only the best and brightest to public service.

Step 1-Become a member of the US congress.
Step 2-Advocate for conflicts in multiple parts of the worlds.
Step 3-Inevitably see tensions rise.
Step 4-Then fear monger that world is unsafe and that the money pit Pentagon need in "a generational" increase on spending.
Step 5-See your defense stocks fly higher than a hippie in a kite.
Step 6- Sell in the high.
.

Profit.

Two ships? This is a show of weakness, not a show of strength.

Can't argue with this.

I'm shocked, shocked, to find out that google is complicit in EU's censorship!

The moronic warmonger Elbridge Colby can't wait to hit targets in China, completely ignoring the fact that hitting targets in Russia is the futile and desperate last resort for the US and NATO.

Not a propaganda win for China? The matter of fact is that the US presidents committed far worse crimes and have not been punished. The congress is also scandal ridden and has never been prosecuted, and finally, we have this typical Western propaganda about corruption in the West and in China.

Congress paid out $17 million in settlements. Here’s why we know so little about that money.​

They don't have the amount of fires to shut down any of the bases on the mainland, that's their issue not the willingness to try.

Also just by bringing the CVs close enough to hit mainland bases means they're also close enough to get sunk.

If they bring large naval assets and combine with B52s from Hawaii and Guam, they can probably put a few holes into a runway somewhere, collapse a few sheds, maybe hit a tug boat in a navy base. At the cost of risking carrier(s) sunk and almost certainly whole bombers destroyed by CAP elements. Meaning that Elbridge Colby will defintely attempt it, it is the hallmark of redditor warfare, to throw away 100s of own men and dozens of overpriced missiles to achieve the "defeat" of some potholes, sheds etc as long as the final result can be posted on twitter.

During Vietnam War, there were more North Vietnamese fighter aces than US and South.

And that was a small country with 1/10 population, 1/50 GDP, and with strategic depth of around 60 km east to west.

It does nothing of the kind. Islam is crystal clear in that it wants believers to follow the rituals and doctrines of the religion and to fight unbelievers until they convert or pay the jizya. If you have evidence to the contrary, present it.

Sure. As I already stated, The first word in Quran to ever be spoken to the prophet by the angel is read, that's the first clue. The second one is that throughout the entirety of the text, God presents several scientific facts (of which many, curiously enough, weren't discovered till more than a millenium later) as a proof of his power and other "fantasy-esque" elements in the scripture (angels, devils, heaven, hell, etc.). Such scientific facts include the different stages of a fetus' developpment inside his mothers' womb, the rotation of the celestial bodies, the presence of waves deep below the water surface (I think it was called waves beneath waves or something), the presence of a microscopic insect or organism that lives on a mosquito's back (I think the passage says something like "God doesn't shy away from giving the example of a mosquito and what's on it"), the mountains extending deep underground, which allows them to act like stakes that sort of "anchor" earth's crust, etc. The third clue is that as I stated before, God explicitly states at multiple occasions throughout Quran that Muslims should closely examine the universe and the human body so that they can truly appreciate his power through his different creations. There many other examples in both Quran and Hadiths but this as far as I'm confidant I know. I honestly encourage you to do proper research and exercise caution when selecting your sources before even daring to breach the subject of religion to avoid, knowingly or unknowingly, falling prey to those with certain agendas. I know it because I've been throught it myself.

The sorry state of Islamic countries is a perfectly natural outcome of their religious beliefs. Islam teaches that the material world (as if there's any other kind) is a transient, worthless existence whose sole purpose is to please Allah so you go to paradise after you die. Why should you study or work or build anything? That's just wasting time you could be using to please Allah and secure your afterlife.

That's exactly the misunderstanding of Islam I was talking about. How do you please Allah ? The answer is through dedicating your hard work and scientific accomplishment to him. That's what muslim scholars said, I didn't come up with anything. Those same Scholars said that Allah only differentiates between his believers based on their faith, and the ones with the strongest faith are those who question it, seek answers and find them using science and pure logic (I think kinda like how Socrates deduced there can only be one god, maybe). The whole talk about the material world is to remind people that money and power are means to an end not an objective, that mortals will one day die and won't take it with them to the afterlife (though some like the pharaoh sure tried, lol) and that it's not worth it to hurt others and commit many injustices to pursue them. That's the basic philosophy of Islam that I know, humans are being tested on how hard they work and how well they govern their planet so that their kin don't suffer. Details beyond that are also beyond me.

Nope. A simple example: the number of wives in Islam is limited to a maximum of 4 (but one is preferred), the previous Saudi king allegedly had 37. That sums up pretty well all that's wrong with muslim arabs.
