Germany says 'won't let anyone take Europe from us'

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Saturday that the EU would weather the shock of the British vote to leave the union as he convened crisis talks.

“I am confident that these countries can also send a message that we won’t let anyone take Europe from us,” he said heading into a meeting in Berlin of his counterparts from the EU’s six founding members. […]

Steinmeier called the European Union “a successful project of peace and stability” and said that there was a “strong desire” within the bloc to defend and strengthen it.

Germany can’t lose their history of bullying and brutalizing their neighbors and harboring murderous anti-Semites fast enough.

Yes, given the events leading up to Brexit, freedom is nowhere on their radar.

Albert Speer, in Inside the Third Reich, reported that Hitler spent less than a day in France, the only time he ever visited it. When he was there, the waiters and tour guides were rude to him. Some things never change.

Didn’t we hear the same message in 1933?

***Because Pres. Wilson stuck in nose into WW1 where it didn’t belong. ***

And was re-elected on a “HE KEPT US OUT OF WAR!” Campaign, Not long after his re-election, we were in it!

Uh, no he didn’t. He left the lives lost in the Lusitania unavenged for two years. (He would have done so for far longer, which would have made him worse than Hillary if he didn’t finally enter the war.) He was (in)famous for writing notes to the Kaiser, begging him to exclude US ships or ships with US nationals on board from that “unrestricted submarine warfare”.

Wilson“s 1916 re-election slogan was “He Kept Us Out Of War”.

George Washington warned against the USA projecting a “reputation of weakness”. Wilson did just that, and had to backpedal furiously.

I wouldn’t say the lives on the Lusitania really needed, or deserved, avenging, at the cost of an additional 320,518 American lives ended and maimed. The passengers took ship on a foreign vessel that was under credible threat of being sunk. They made their choice, and their foolish decision and the predictable result thereof was flimsy justification for the US jumping into the exact type of foreign entanglements that George Washington warned of. In my opinion, our involvement in WW1 directly led to terrible situation we as a nation find ourselves in today.

"...Steinmeier said on Saturday that... ...we won’t let anyone take Europe from us..."

Well Adolf, this will evidently be a big shock to you, but you don't have Europe. You never will.

He left the lives lost in the Lusitania unavenged for two years.

The Lusitania was a ship flagged by a belligerent, carrying contraband, and in a designated war zone. No sympathy for any American stupid enough to sail on it despite clear warnings from the Kaiser. There was nothing that the US would have been authorized in avenging.

The ship carried artillery fuses, guncotton, shrapnel for artillery shells, shells for 13 pound artillery, ready to fire but for the fuse. It is not clear whether the artillery shells and fuses caused the secondary explosion, and thus the sinking. (Official reports claim the shells and fuses were stored separately, which wasn't the usual practice).

Please don’t conflate history with conspiracy theories. Especially over the bodies of 128 Americans that were unavenged for two years.

I thought they were more space samurai with an admixture with taoism and chivalry.
