UK Story

Yesterday....a Sky News-commissioned YouGov poll found that a ONLY 6-perecent of UK residents would volunteer to fight if facing an imminent invasion.

They didn't add a 'enemy'....assuming it was Russia.

I pondered over this.....the greatest opportunity in the history of Russia. Simply a invasion force of 30,000 could probably take over England in 10 days. Would NATO come to save the UK? I'm not that sure. Would the US/Trump come? Probably only to remove our troops/families there, and exit a quickly as possible.

So the question....what would Putin gain?

I ponder over this for an hour.

A quarter of the UK population would welcome the Putin-force....for liberating them from the Labor-Party.

The anti-King Charles folks? They'd welcome the Russians.

The folks hating the police? They'd welcome the Russians.

Would it matter....if this were the Spaniards, French, or Germans....instead of the Russians? I'm of the mind.....anyone could invade....even the Argentina folks.

For Putin? If he just had forty-odd tanks, and 30,000 troops...the UK is his to take.

About the Collection of Essays

First, note that this is NOT a blog....it's a collection of essays similar in nature to what the Greek Plutarch attempted to write.

Second: NO, there will be no Facebook connection to the essay collection. Besides the negativity with FB, there is just too much potential in the future for censorship with FB.

Third, this log of essays is written by an American (not a German). If you are a German seeking commentary written by a German, on Germans....look elsewhere.

Fourth, I will offer wit and sarcasm on Germany, Germans, Germanology, German political figures, German TV, German beer, German food, German humor (or lack of), German habits, German weirdness, German news, German autos, German brilliance, German stupidity, German customs, German Nazis, German history, and German stubbornness.

Fifth (new), the essays are not about ethnic pathways to your grandfather or great-grandmother who was German. It relates present day Germans. If you are trying to get some understanding to your ancestor who packed up and left sixty years ago from the old 'homeland', then this blog is probably not for you.

I was one of those Americans who did over twenty years of military time....married a German....and eventually returned as a retiree.

I'm one of the few who stood under the German umbrella.....paid German taxes for some years.....German social security.....and felt the various pains like Germans.

So, this is my all-purpose commentary essay, designed for non-Germans mostly (and those Germans who accidentally discover it). I tend to put German culture into the spotlight of sarcasm, wit and humor. I'm simply pointing out the richness and craziness of life in Germany, which even some Germans can't understand.

The amusing thing is that I'm merely repeating the exercise that Mark Twain performed in 1880, when he published "A Tramp Abroad". Various comments were dished out on the Germans....which apparently did not trigger any wars, chaos, climate change, or ill feelings.

Final note: I generally only delete comments that are spam-related, or hype over pure Nationalist Socialist agendas. I generally won't support one-sided arguments/agendas. I also don't think accusations of racism or nationalism are generally proven, and can reflect poorly upon the person making the accusations.
