    Thanks for your reply, bro. Can you also provide some technical information about that topic (tables, diagrams, studies)?

    Thanks again. :)

    Because I'm a Pooteen spy. :D
    Joking aside, I'm just interested in why it is that way.

    I was just thinking it's a lot to ask of somebody you don't know on a forum! I know I wouldn't want to go digging up detailed information for someone on here. I'd just link them this instead:

    I won't argue, because, strictly speaking, of course you are right, and besides, I am only an "Ami". Das weiss ich jeden tag....

    Perhaps for a variety of reasons, I might say that if I had been born German, instead of merely being the child of great-grandparents who came to America from Germany over a hundred years ago, I might have liked to have had this as an anthem for my country -- "Die Lorelei" :

    In an odd way that must only makes sense to a misanthrope like myself, Deutschland today is somehow like the adored, but sadly verlorene spirit of the Lorelei (Deutschland), beautiful beyond compare, and yet beheld only from the distance of time. A last thought on this theme, "La Pastorella" :

    Now, I must return to topic, next post. Bitte, entschuldigung....

    If he knows that it is so, he also knows why it is so. I want to know it too.
    What's your problem, bro? :(

    No problem, homie. Just saying I thought it was a lot of work for one bloke to ask of another on a message board.

    Here's a sampling of what awaits them

    The way they blow and burn up, I am tempted to think they have more vodka than shells stored in those things.

    RuZZian tanks explode better than molotow cocktails. Thanks to many alcohol addicts in there. :)

    They've been destroyed before they've even arrived? That's next-level.

    Update from Ukraine | The most Wrong Action by Ruzzia on the South | Jets are coming to Ukraine


    Sounds like France is talking about giving Ukraine of its domestic Dassault Rafale fighter jets, and Morocco is going to give Ukraine a bunch of T-72s.

    :)

    You are right - the "Lorelei" is a great poem and a great song!
    And very German in a way!

    That re-minds me: :)

    Once I have created a poem in the style of the Lorelei to tell of a similar experience I once had in my life. - but with a happy outcome.
    My poem can be sung to the same famous melody.
    Of course it would be off topic to sing it here. :)
