  1. A photo on a public accessible web site does not make the photo public available or public domain.
    Try copying a photo from New York Times or similar and lets see how far that gets you ... moron.

    Actually it would make it more easy. Every coin knows who the previous owners were and how it got split and transferred to other owners.

    It is actually well established that the russians shot it down.

    And: the rebells are russians, too!

    Perhaps you have a problem with grasping that Ukraine is its own country and fights against Russia from outside and russian rebells from inside.

    The go home and please stay is simply explained.
    Politically we want the americans to go home.
    But economically we like them to stay, (even if it would be bottom line much more economical if they left, e.g. for the housing market).

    However Rammstein/Germany is the biggest military airport of the world. And it has one of the biggest military hospitals of the world. I have no idea how many starts and landings they do and how much personell is stationed there or how many people work in the hospitals.

    But they all have flats there, and buy food ... (they don't pay taxes, though).

    So when they say, "Yankee go home," we know it is a total fucking cluestick talking, who has no concept of international geography even at the "names and places" level.
    You are just plain stupid. Americans are called all over the world Yankees or Yanks ... you introduced the term, we did not look it up in a dictionary

    You are a bit delusional.
    While Europe has nukes, Germany's nukes are on bombers and on "field artillery shells".
    So that leaves France and UK to nuke USA. With submarines.
    Most of them are not really operational. Europe has no ICBMs.

    So, no: EU/Europe has no nukes to hit the US in a significant way.
    The EU has in total something like 8 carriers, 4 mothballed at the moment, 2 or 3 under construction (UK ones, no idea how many they are building, ah, and a new french on if the construction is not put on hold) ...

    While we would beat US easily on our soil, just like we would the Russians, there is no way the EU/Europe could attack the US with a quick positiv result.

    Your argument is so weak; because we buy some parts for spy satellites from allies, that causes you to think we couldn't build them on our own?
    Because you can't. E.g. the balls in the ball-bearings of the inertia navigation systems of your cruise missiles are made in: Japan. They are actually derived from 1980s video recorder ball bearings for the magnetic head.

    As far as I know the states can do a few things right, the stuff Elon is doing, Intel Chips (within limits considering Spectre et. all.) and hand guns. Did I miss something? Is there a car that is better than a european? A plane? A sub? Ah, well, you have lots of nukes, we not so much.

    You can not even produce the steel needed for the catching ropes of an air craft carrier. Ah, but you have carriers, Germany e.g. has none. Well ... happy carrier if it meets a Swedish or a German sub ... good bye.

  10. You are assuming that Germany doesn't have a preference here. That they are OK with either China or the USA being in their networks..
    Germany is a country.

    G5 networks are run by corporations

    So: no, Germany has no say in what any corporation is buying to run its network!

    That is a no brainer.

  11. Germany now has to select a side.
    So we are with you or against you. We can not chose our own path?

    The free West
    There is no "free west", and probably never was the last 70 years.

    This is how Germany thanks decades of free US and UK mil support?
    What support? Forcing us to station mid range nuke missiles on our ground, to cement the fact that the next's war battle ground will leave nothing left from Germany?

    How fucking young are you that you know nothing?

  12. Hitler was nuts and evil but he wasn't stupid.
    Yes, he was stupid. Many many war decisions especially the wrong ones, were made by him.
    Plenty of videos on youtube about that (or TV documentations that got posted to youtube)

    But in the end that is lucky for us, isn't it?

  13. Oh yeah and nobody is in concentration camps like so many claimed.
    You had Mexican kids in concentration camps just a few month ago.
    And Guantanamo is still not closed yet ... under international law they are POWs ... the war is over since a decade. Go figure ...

    What? There are people who turn on or off lights based on a clock instead of the actual level of light available?
    Yes, e.g. automatic lights in show rooms, shops etc. which are often on mechanical time switches. People often don't care to adjust them when DST is switched on or off.

    And no, ordinary humans go after the light level, and hence switch on light later when DST is on ... I guess you knew that ...

    No, the idea was to save electricity, as in switching on lights later etc.
    For farmers it does not matter at all, they don't care what time is displayed on their watch.

  16. First of all: the web sites are not static. They include rating of apps etc. and you are usually logged in.
    Secondly: Apple does not only host the apps and reviews and processes credit cards, they analyze every app for security risks etc. I doubt they earn more than 15% (half of the 30% they charge).

    The clean up is a complete disaster/fake. They remove the top 10cm - 20cm of soil around every house in a +10m radius (+10m to the size of the property), pack it in sacks and put it around the area into depressions. Land where no house is, is not cleaned. Basically 10m beyond your property it is still contaminated.
    At the moment all the "valleys" around Fukushima are full with plastic sacks. The plan is to cover them with "earth".
