During his speech in Munich, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz addressed the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and its supporters. The Chancellor defended support for Ukraine, including the supply of weapons.
I bet you they'd be crying out for the world's support if the fight ever came to their doorstep. Sure would be nice of them to support the fight to defend somebody else's, but right-wing folks never seem to be able to see past their own noses.
Germany in particular, but it didn't work so well for everyone. The saying "history repeats itself" seemed like an abstract mantra when I was a kid. We beat the Nazis, I watched the wall fall, the iron curtain fell, the cold war was over. We were past all that. We did it. We never had to use those incredible skills of crawling under our elementary school desks and covering our heads in the event of a nuclear attack. Yet history repeats itself.
