And again, lets blame Germany

Here's a memo to Ambrose Evans Pritchard, and all the other delusional blame-throwers out there : STOP FRIKKING BLAMING GERMANY! Look, I know its a tradition soon a century old to blame all the problems of Europe on Germany. It's getting pretty old, especially since usually, Germany either didn't do it or at least wasn't the only culprit. But for those of you who still believe your grad-school history books : Do you think that the political machinery of the Allied forces, after more or less having destroyed TWO generations of Americans, Britons and French would after the war say : "Well, we sort of had some blame too, after all we didn't handle that Versailles peace very well, and also maybe starvation blockades weren't such a good idea, nor was selling Eastern Europe to Stalin or killing millions of innocent civilians"

I'm not denying any of the atrocities done by Germany during the reign of Adolf Hitler, I'm simply posing the following question : Where was Roosevelt, Truman and Churchill at the Nurnberg trials? Or maybe you people didn't know (because you believe the standard accounts of history written by those victorious) : Churchill ordered the incineration of a quarter million of German civilians, because he thought it would benefit the war effort. Truman incinerated even more Japanese, despite there being many indicators that the Japenese were willing to surrender. And if you go check history as it was written directly after the war, it was pretty clear that FDR willingly ignored intelligence pointing towards an imminent attack by the Japanese, meaning he sacrificed a few thousand americans at Pearl Harbor.

But don't take my word for it. Go look it up. Or, do as you all usually do, stick your heads in the sand and chant "It's all Germanys fault!". If this madness doesn't stop, we may get another European armed conflict the coming decade, and it won't be pretty. Let's just hope that Germany and all other nations currently paying for the eurozone (which is rumoured to be what Germany had to "pay" to NATO to be "allowed" to re-unite with Eastern Germany) just shut their borders, tell the rest of Europe to go stick their nonsense where the sun doesn't shine, and we can all be done with this despicable mess.

At least, Ambrose Evans Pritchard recognizes to some part what is actually going on :

This document is not final, of course. Mr Sarkozy knows how go full-throttle histrionic, throw a fit, play the war guilt card, scream, shout, and even threaten to walk out of Emu (as he did in the May 2010 summit). He is so mercurial and impetuous that he might actually do something shocking if Germany refuses to meet him half way.

Go ahead, Mr. Sarkozy, and do the world the favour of playing your bluff one last time. Hopefully, Germany will take you up on that offer, and re-introduce the Deutsche Mark. Then you can have your beloved socialist union, and your own taxpayers can pay for the nationalization of your insolvent banking system.
