Quite true. I don’t know who could have made them “supreme” except the organization itself.
And the past. Slav is where the very word 'slave' came from in the first place.
Perhaps, but from Pat's perspective you have to erase lend-lease, to Russia and the Brits, from the equation. Stalin might have been defeated without US support, and Hitler's belief that England could have been starved into submission could well have come to be.
Ah, now I know why the Arabs call the founding of Israel the "Nakba", which also means disaster - another way of calling Jews nazis. [My opinion of Arabs censored as I really don't want my account suspended.]
Practically, the Nazis could not have liquidated all of the Slavs. I am not aware that they planned to. They planned “Germanize” many Slavic lands, to deport their populations to Siberia and to use Slavs as slave labor. I do not deny that millions of Slavs died in the Holocaust. However, at the end of the war; Eastern Europe remained largely Slavic but was almost devoid of Jews. Slavs were not exterminated. Jews were, and as it happens they were often killed by Poles, Ukrainians, etc., rather than by Germans.
The Byzantine and Ottoman empires used to get the bulk of their slaves - both were run with and by slave labor - from Eastern Europe.
Technically—only technically—Buchanan is right on that one point. In WWI, Britain was quite willing to stay out of the initial move that Germany made into Alsace and Lorraine, but when Germany invaded Belgium as part of the Schliffen plan, Britain was obligated by an 1839 treaty (which Prussia was also a part of) to defend Belgium.
In World War II, Hitler tried every diplomatic subterfuge he could think of to detach Britain from France and Poland in 1939, but Chamberlain had been finally pushed too far by the Rhineland, the Anschluss of Austria, the Sudetenland, and the absorption of the rest of Czechoslovakia. Hitler didn’t want a war with Britain—not at that moment—but he was willing to risk it.

He was wrong on Demjanjuk.
Currently Demjanjuk is awaiting extradition to Germany to stand trial for his crimes as a concentration camp guard at Sobibor.
Demjanjuk is a war criminal and an illegal immigrant.
Lindbergh running for President in 1932 is news to me, too. Nevermind he was only 30, too young to run, and add to that, I never heard that he was a Democrat. His father, Swedish-born Charles August Lindbergh, was an Isolationist Republican Congressman from MN (although he later became an early leader of the fledgling Farmer-Laborite party) and his father-in-law was the NJ Republican Senator Dwight Whitney Morrow (who served until his death in 1931).
Oh! That's certainly reasonable. No offense was intended by my comment; I have a hard time resisting the opportunity to be a wiseacre.
OK, I was wrong when I said he was right.
I accepted sobieski’s take on what happened after Demjanjuk fell off my radar.
Shoulda known better...
Me too. The kids say it’s going to get me killed one of these days.
They’re probably right.
Yes, but all those sites would warn people never to accept the word of a Jew on these things. These are secret organizations, after all.
Interestingly google has only 5 hits for "Supreme Rabbinical Court of the United States", and they're all on Freerepublic.
Moderate ? As in wait until the barbarians are at the gate ? His own writings and bizarre historical revisionism give him away. He went ‘round the bend a long time ago.
He wasn't about to become President anywhere, and his reputation was soiled by his admiration for and close association with the Reich.
We’ll die happy. Or at least smug.
I would have suggested 1933, with the newly created Dachau, which housed German political "dissidents", soon followed by the Nuremberg laws.
I was planning on dying laughing...
Pat is out of his mind with his Jew hating, and I'm one of his ex-defenders. Hitler was a madman. Does a normative diplomatic state enact the Einsatzgruppen, Auschwitz, and Treblinka? This is madness.
Even earlier than that. They were shooting Jews in Poland in late 1939, the ones that weren’t being walled up in the ghettos in places like Lodz and Warsaw. And yes, hundreds of thousands of Jews had been shot, or asphyxiated in gas trucks, by the SS Einsatzkommando groups in the months between June 1941 and the Wannsee conference.
Pat has this either/or thing going...he’s acting like he is totally forgetting what life must have been like in the Warsaw ghetto in 1940 or 1941, even before the trains were rolling for Treblinka. By 1937, Jews in Germany were no longer citizens, but “subjects.” 50% were unemployed. Most professions were verboten to them. Yes, the Nazis were more interested in exporting Jews than they were killing them before the start of the war, but only because it was easier to just kick them out of the Reich after stealing all their property.
