       US Congress to halt Trump’s troop withdrawal from Germany
       --- Quote ---
       > Lawmakers in the US Congress are preparing to block President
       Donald Trump's order to withdraw US troops from Germany. It's a
       rare instance of the Democratic and Republican parties working
       together to pass legislation.
       > The final version of the annual defense bill, which still
       needs to be voted on, voices support for the continued presence
       of US forces in Germany. And it would require an impact
       assessment before any troops are removed. In July, the Pentagon
       announced it would withdraw about a third of the 36,000 US
       troops based here.

       Biden Halts Trump's Troop Withdrawals From Germany
       --- Quote ---
       > President Joe Biden announced he’s halting and reversing Trump
       administration foreign policy initiatives -- including troop
       drawdowns in Germany and support for a Saudi-led offensive in
       Yemen that turned into a humanitarian disaster -- as he sought
       to boost morale at the State Department.
       >
       > Biden said Thursday that he’s ordering a full Pentagon review
       of the U.S. military posture worldwide. That includes freezing
       former President Donald Trump’s plan to withdraw about 9,500
       soldiers from Germany -- a move that stunned European allies and
       generated bipartisan protest in Congress.
       >
       > Biden’s vision for foreign policy stands in stark contrast to
       Trump’s “America First” approach in which the former president
       often shunned alliances and resisted acting against adversarial
       moves taken by Russia and other countries.
       >
       > “America is back,” Biden said in a speech at the State
       Department, flanked by Vice President Kamala Harris and
       Secretary of State Antony Blinken. “Diplomacy is back.”
       >
       > Biden described U.S. alliances as “our greatest asset,” and
       said the U.S. will take a firm stand in dealing with China and
       Russia. He called on Russia to free democracy activist Alexey
       Navalny, whose arrest has sparked protests.
       >
       > The president said that he will raise the cap on refugee
       admittance in the next fiscal year to 125,000 -- more than eight
       times the 15,000-person limit Trump implemented during his last
       year in office. Biden’s number is also an increase from the
       110,000-person cap that former President Barack Obama
       implemented at the end of his administration.
       >
       > Even with the administration’s changes, would-be refugees will
       face a long road to resettlement. Trump’s move to substantially
       reduce admissions has created a years-long backlog of people
       seeking safe harbor. And Trump implemented new, harsher vetting
       processes, narrower eligibility requirements, and budget cuts
       that increased the burden on federal agencies as they evaluate
       potential candidates to grant entry.

       German foreign minister Frank Walter Steinmeier confirms what I
       have written above:
  HTML https://www.archyde.com/comment-on-nord-stream-2-ukraine-criticizes-steinmeier/
       --- Quote ---
       > Then the Federal President was asked about Nord Stream 2. The
       energy relations are “almost the last bridge between Russia and
       Europe,” Steinmeier said. [...]
       >
       > Subsequently, however, the president used a reference to
       German history as an argument for his energy policy line. He
       pointed out that Germany had to keep an eye on the historical
       dimension and recalled the German attack on the Soviet Union in
       World War II, which took place for the 80th time on June 22nd.
       “More than 20 million people in the former Soviet Union fell
       victim to the war. This does not justify any misconduct in
       Russian politics today, but we must not lose sight of the bigger
       picture, ”said Steinmeier.
       --- End Quote ---
       In this regard, the response of the Ukrainian ambassador to
       Germany, Andriy Melnyk, is just plain cringeworthy:
       --- Quote ---
       > Melnyk accuses the Federal President of not having explicitly
       mentioned the many millions of victims of the Nazi dictatorship
       in Ukraine in this context.
       --- End Quote ---
       Germany is russophile because it is anti-National Socialism and
       thus receptive to the Russian view
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/enemies/duginism/?message=223<br
       />on World War 2 (scroll to 'Russia and Israel join forces
       regarding memory politics'). Trying to paint Ukraine as yet
       another victim of National Socialism just validates the view
       that National Socialism is bad, which in turn validates the view
       that the Soviet Union is good, as it fought against National
       Socialist Germany, which in turn validates the view that Russia
       is good, as it brands itself the successor state of the SU,
       which in turn validates the view that Russian influence is good,
       which in turn validates the view that Ukraine is bad, as it is
       resisting Russian influence.
       The author of the piece points at another issue with Melnyk's
       argument:
       --- Quote ---
       > Steinmeier had not explicitly mentioned the Ukrainian or
       Belarusian victims, but probably wanted to include them by
       referring to the “Soviet Union”, since Ukraine was part of the
       Soviet Union at the time.
       --- End Quote ---
       Ukraine was part of the SU as the critical mass of its
       population, if not wholesale fallen to Bolshevism, at least
       failed to mount an effective resistance to it, thus tacitly
       acquiescing to Soviet occupation. Thus, the 'Ukrainian' victims
       of National Socialist Germany didn't die as 'Ukrainians' in any
       meaningful sense, but as 'Soviet people', thus, once more
       considering that Russia brands itself as the SU's successor
       state, by extension, as Russians. So Steinmeier is correct
       including all Soviet victims of National Socialist Germany on
       the Russian side of history.
       If Melnyk wants to effectively counter post-WW2 German
       russophilia, he should first encourage his German colleagues to
       view Germany's WW2 history in a positive and accordingly the SU
       and Russia in a negative light. This will in turn increase
       sympathy for those authentic Ukrainians
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_Waffen_Grenadier_Division_of_the_SS_%281st_Galician%29<br
       />who fought the SU alongside their German comrades, as well as
       their spiritual successors, who today are fighting the Russians
       on the battlefields of the Donbas, continuing Hitler's
       anti-Turanist struggle. Ultimately, the Germans would lose all
       interest in any Nord Stream 2-kind of fuckery.
       By the way, note how much Steinmeier resembles his Turanian
       Untermensch-buddies
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/human-evolution/facial-turanism/<br
       />with his flabby, degenerate face:

       Xi is an utter moron with no understanding of Duginism. The
       Atlantic countries are the ones he should be trying to ally with
       against Turandom. By instead strengthening Turandom, he is only
       assisting their objective of preventing Operation Gaddafi from
       succeeding.
       OLD CONTENT
       Our plan - what we call the Atlantic Pivot - was for the US to
       keep a high troop presence in the EU so that as the US comes
       over to our side via Demographic Blueshift (which by all
       estimates is expected to succeed sooner than Operation Gaddafi),
       we will be well-positioned to militarily crush the
       Duginist-backed far-right takeover as required, thus allowing
       Operation Gaddafi to complete smoothly.
       Trump cutting US troops in Germany is a Duginist victory.

       Many Germans do not trust Russians at all, still. I think at
       best it could ever be is a veneer of Duginism. Could be wrong,
       but that mistrust is a very strong feeling among many.
       ---
       "mistrust"
       Distrust means being unwilling to trust someone (c.f. dislike,
       disrespect, etc.).
       Mistrust means being willing to trust someone who doesn't
       deserve to be trusted. (c.f. mistake, misplace, etc.).
       Which one do you mean here?
       ---
       Funny you brought that up I was thinking about that at work
       today actually.
       Distrust is what I meant. I believe many Germans have a deep
       distrust of Russians. I have experienced this many times when
       speaking to Germans about Putin in the past. My mother does not
       trust Russians either, and my grandparents definitely did not.
