True or false?

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

Yes Carl you are right with your explanations

War was always a dirty thing.

Most illegal action contravening the convention, go unpunished since its very difficult to proove.

On the other hand, i would not condem the action with the bullets.

The Mines are worse and still cause lots of problems all over the world.

Not all nations signed that treaty, i beleive Germany condems landmines.

East Germany and east block made a lot of money with that.

Modern weapons also contravene the convention.

USA would not care less. But who would care in time of war.......?????? The most dirty buisiness and money racket.

In WW 1, 25 000 americans became millionaire through deals.

The German Kaiser invested in russian amunition facturies

Krupp Germany supplied the english with barbed wire for the trenches and mad amunition that went aginst our own people.

Brits and Germans used Phosgene Gas, each claimed the other dit but not admitting it

I dont want to talk about WW II. We are branded !!!!! That means we are not allowed to complain about allied attrocities.

I hope Europe has learned and will stay peaceful. We dont have that peace as Jnr said. Think of yugoslavia in the last decade and it is still not over......that on our doorstep.

Peace to all i hope

[georg ruf jr.]

The peace I'm refering to is the "peace" within the EU. Especially the former EU. With the new countries (Yogu is not part of it) in our surroundings, new problems submerge. Weapons, drugs, prostitution/slavery nuclear weapons!! ect ect. We must be happy about being GOOD freinds with countries we were at war with.

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

Jnr

We were at war with yugo in both WW

In fact the first WW started with Sarajewo, as you know the ex yugo states are joining the EU

Serbia will come as soon as they cooperate. But lots of hate there at the moment, remember our troups are actively involved there to keep peace. I hope that works out 

[Carl Wrbka]

Snr, I see you mention KRUPP in your earlier reply. My father in law told me once that the crematoriums supplied to the concentration camps were made by KRUPP Germany. Any truth in this?

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

Thats possible, all large firms were involved in that time

I dont think they had much chance to refuse in that time.

[Carl Wrbka]

Do you think it's fair that these German companies should be held accountable for their actions during the war? Companies like VW and Deutsche Bank were recently sued by an association of Holocaust survivors for their part in the war.
Can't they just let bygones be bygones. Like you say, these companies didn't have the option to refuse in those days.

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

Some few years back a fond for survivers was created.
Many of those firms have contributed

To let that sleep would mean no more cash flow.

Look at Namibia consantly asking for reparation and that at times were Germany pays the highest development to NAM.

Let the soup boil and come up with demands again and again

Just wait, when the first claims come towards SA.

If one looks back in history, i could name a lot that classify for reparations

One of my sayings also is, find a point in time of history that suits you most for your argument.

That counts for many countries but it seems its only applied with Germany.

The World Champion in payments that never end...........

Now that's a point oldman. That's the way politics and buiseness is made.
And again. It's a matter of being on our way, contributing the best we can.

[Carl Wrbka]

At least you know now where your taxes are going 

[georg ruf jr.]

Contributing in a sence of human commen sence Carl. Not my tax.
You know what's crazy? I'm paying tax for Isreal cause of the killing of jews and they spend the money on weapons ...

[Carl Wrbka]

   I know exactly how you feel jnr. I'm paying tax to subsidise the free electricity, petrol, and food that our President is shoving up Mugabe's ass.

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]
