@@CatManOfTaste There were no Russian troops in either Donetsk or Lugansk when Ukrainian aircraft began dropping bombs on these cities. Residents of Crimea voted for joining Russia in a referendum. Are you against democracy? Almost all the inhabitants of Crimea are ethnic Russians, of course they wanted to secede from the state in which the Russian language is prohibited. This is called democracy, when people can choose in which country they live.

It's refreshing to see a political figure actually state things baldly. Sadly, fascism is one of those mindsets that forces people to be 'for or against, no in-between', fascism allows no fence sitters. Calling out fascism is something every person on earth should do; it's an outdated human tradition that's failed time and again over the entirety of human history. Isn't it time we left that failing mindset in the past where it belongs???

Any leader from Germany shouting to justify Germans involvement in a war should terrify everybody. It would have been much better to hear him shout like this for a cease-fire and peace talks. Maybe he should shout at other NATO leaders to stop the expansion of NATO. I live in Africa and I don't trust NATO at all. Most NATO countries are old colonizers of Africa and other parts of the world. The UN is the place governments should settle their differences, the world don't need NATO. Why do the European countries always see the need to rely on their military superiority to preserve their way of life? Why don't they rather help growing wealth in the many countries they have colonized over the centuries? Now they want us to stop using fossil fuels, how on earth are we going to do that in Africa? They are going to make sure 1,4 billion Africans will have no hope of ever escaping poverty just so Europeans can keep their way of life.
