But when we say - remember 70 years ago when Germany tried to occupy Europe with force - now they are trying to do it with politics and you all get all aerated about it.
Seems to be like is 1 rule for 1 and a different rule for another.

Germany is doing everything, still after 70 years, to break with their NAZI past, non stop apologizing for it. I don't hear the UK apologizing for 100s of years colonialism and be the root cause of many wars, until today because of artificial borders drawn in Asia and Africa by the colonial office.
All EU countries entered the EU voluntarily, not by force and they can leave when they want (without having their cake and eating it)Comment
