    There is a widespread belief that Kennedy made an embarrassing mistake by saying Ich bin ein Berliner. By not leaving out the indefinite article "ein," he supposedly changed the meaning of the sentence from the intended "I am a citizen of Berlin" to "I am a Berliner" (a Berliner being a type of German pastry, similar to a jelly doughnut), amusing Germans throughout the city. While the phrase "Ich bin ein Berliner" can be understood as having a double meaning, it is neither wrong to use it the way Kennedy did nor was it embarrassing.[10] According to some grammar texts,[11] the indefinite article can be omitted in German when speaking of an individual's profession or origin but is in any case used when speaking in a figurative sense.[12][13] Furthermore, although the word "Berliner"[9][14] is used for a jelly doughnut in the north, west and southwest of Germany, it is not used in Berlin itself or the surrounding region, where the usual word is "Pfannkuchen" (literally "pancake").

The gap was huge, they patrolled in threes at minimum, there were watchtowers with snipers and machine guns, mines, automatic unmanned machine guns - when tripped by infra red beam, they opened up and didn't stop firing until the target ceased to move - there were massive fences, razor wire, dogs, you name it. It was not easy to leave. My landlady in Germany escaped from the East. She, her husband and seven kids crammed into the back of a hay wagon, covered themselves and tried their luck. The East German border guards stabbed the hay with pitchforks, missing all but her husband, who was struck in the femoral artery, he bled out and died rather quickly. Thousands died trying to escape... If you managed to escape and had family in the East, your family was punished.

For example, when my friends and I were watching the inauguration of Trump in 2016, we saw a group of students who started waving Mexican flags and start chatting "Viva Mexico! (English: [Long] Live Mexico)". What you didn't know is that those students are college students at my school who got financial aid with DACA. If they love Mexico so much, why are they here?

You can't "deal" with them; that much is still clear to see in how they treat other countries, supposed "friends" and foes alike in 2022. You can only postpone the inevitable confrontation with Russia to your own determent. IMO Patton should have kept going to the eastern borders of Romania and Poland after Germany surrendered.

    Martin Both side were aware of the military power and the destruction it might be causing to the future of the world. Both feared world war 3 and mass destruction that could destroy the entire berlin and Germany (east /west). If war had begun, everything would change into rubble and deaths everywhere. (At this point of time , it would have been a Nuclear war)City would be blood shed so both did not want it but at the same time the showcase of power over their control and decisions would not allow them to stand back either. Both countries would not want to step back unless on a mutual agreement because this would mark it as a loss and a sign of inferiority and weakness. It eventually led both party to have this feeling of conflict and a race to win against eachother (their communism vs capitalism view) without direct military involvement led into increse in the cold war tension.

But i cannot understand why U2 planes had the right to photographed USSR and USSR had not the right to defend their airspace and to protest in every similar case that a violation took place !

    The Soviets had virtually unlimited access to all facets of American society and could and did photograph or film everything in the US that was worthwhile, except the secret rendezvous JFK had. The US did not have even a good map of the USSR. Our diplomats were few, had very limited travel authorization. The US was essentially in the dark about the Soviet industrial and military strength. That is why countless men died flying reconnaissance missions prior to Gary Powers' U-2 flight. We needed to know what the Soviet capabilities were. They knew ours by reading newspapers, magazines, traveling and speaking to people. We were denied nearly all that access.

    "socialism in quotation marks". No. It is/was socialism. Everytime things go south its not real "socialism", ofc it isnt, it never is real socialism untill its you that gets to decide everything about everyone else. Here are just a few reasons why it always fails without exception and always ends up in some form of dictatorship: 1) People are not blank slates nor ants, yet you treat em as such. This train of thought has time and again led to worst crimes against humanity in history. 2) Socialism requires large scale state intervention AND most importantly: opression of people. For years now, every single time i ask a socialist how they gonna get it done it always ends up with the state aka "the people" taking away individual rights and replacing it with group rights. 3) Individual rights are out the door, group rights is all that matters, group rights lead directly to point 1 4) The pareto principle, and the fact that socialism cuts those people > resulting in disasters for everyone down the chain. 5) Continuing point 4: Socialism always ends up with the lowest common denominator dictating the norm. As a result, everyone will be equally miserable. People sticking above that norm, will not only not be tolerated, but actively prosecuted by the state AND socially ostracized by the indoctrinated and resentful people among the masses. 6) To combine point 4 and 5, there is no situation where everyone will be equally happy when you destroy the most productive people and cause an economic disaster. How about not destroy them i hear you say? How are you going to do that, when your ideological goal is precisely to appropriate their property and give it to "the people". These people wont have any reason whatsoever to be more productive any longer, as there is no longer any reward for it. The end result is always the same, point 5. These people will leave or flee if already prosecuted, if they can at all that is. (berlin wall video, venezuela, zimbabwe, south africa, etc, etc..) What you end up with is a country on the brink of economic destruction and everyone being equally miserable, except the party leaders and the military ofc. This is the playbook time and time again. Which brings me to: 7) You put in so many centralized systems, that not only any kind of economic damage is felt by everyone (similar to the banking problem right now). But most importantly, you centralized all the power to the point its controlled by a few people. All of these steps make it a question of when, NOT if, a dictator ends up dictating the country. Its why all these countries that went with socialism end up with a dictatorship. You are supporting and creating the foundations for a dictatorship. And as soon as that happens (which is every single fucking time) its suddenly "not real socialism". Oh yeah, IF only we didnt do X, IF only we didnt do Y, IF only we supressed these nasty anti-socialist people a bit more, if only, if only. Story of socialists right there. Story of why it always fails economically as well, planned economies do. not. work. Because a top-down centralized system can: A: Never react fast enough to problems on the ground. B: The risk is centralized instead of spread out (widespread economic disaster, think banking problem again). C: It is never capable to take in account what people actually want or need (point A as well) Excuse me for my language, but for fuck sake am i tired of those words "not real socialism". Hey buddy, the nazis where "not real nazis" either, they just did it wrong. They just picked the wrong kind of dictator people, nothing to see here. Thats how worthless this argument is. fuck. Note: Here is a better one: Try and think of a new idea instead of trying to re-establish really old tried and failed ones. if you are so desperate for something else. I challenge you to do it, its way harder then you think.

    Why did all 4 powers think it was OK after the war to carve up Germany in the first place? It makes no sense to me.
