Continuity of sovereign states, obviously? If that wasn't an obvious caveat, someone, sometime in the past, would have it figured out, temporarily occupied countries around them, and made them sign a promise to send, say, 1000 tons of gold every year, in perpetuity, and expect the rest of the...

But didn't get a fair (reasonably scaled to cover the damages inflicted) amount of money due to shenanigans. We compared the money we got and the damages. There is no way these two are even remotely close, no one can deny that. Something smells there obviously, the only questions are whose...

Well, apparently unfortunately by your ancap fantasy standards, Poland didn't exploit any country to dodge reparations this way. However, Poland took a whole lot of loans under commie management ruled from Moscow, to float up their silly governance and Moscow, yet still Polish taxpayers...

Well their paychecks would be reduced, so in the end their personal bank accounts will be smaller. If a German citizen moves to a different country and gets rid of his citizenship, does he end up paying the reparations? Sorry, but ancap ideals have to compromise with material realities such as...

Well Germany didn't take it laying down, Germany lost another war earlier to end up with that one. Can you spot the pattern? FFS, Germany, stop starting wars, or at least stop losing the wars you start. The technical issues of doing that aside, that's not how governments work, that's not how...

The article i've linked will explain all your doubts. The institutions may be different, but the legal personality, and as such all debts it comes with, are inherited. This is the view of Germany's own legal system. Well if Germany didn't have a government, extra collectivist one at that...

a) Not everyone lost a war they started and messed up a bunch of countries in it. b) At least you lost a war, some countries are cucking themselves for the hell of it instead. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/1/7/canada-approved-reparations-the-us-can-be-next...

That's not how continuity of states works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reparations_Agreement_between_Israel_and_the_Federal_Republic_of_Germany Also Germany is more than eager to pay reparations when it's politically correct, even for things that happened further in the past...

BLM loonies don't represent a country, they didn't have a country invaded, and they didn't win the war later. Also only in case of Poland we are talking of events that in fact happened in living memory - some people who lived through WW2 still live. Meanwhile for curious reasons BLM loonies...

It's China we are talking about, not some dumb islamists from ISIL. They pride themselves on their long term scheming skills, and they judge differences by the difference in their bank accounts seeing the difference will make.

That's UK, which is out of the EU now. The leading EU powers love their dirty business deals, and they even get mixed feelings when it's their backyard that's getting turned into a battle arena, which is frankly ridiculous. What do you think they will be thinking if the arena is somewhere on the...

So you aren't just one of those silly isolationists... But you still want USA to play global politics, yet ignore the global part. NATO served its purpose? Well then, good luck explaining to Europeans why they should give a damn about all the China stuff. Implying these are separate problems...

Oh its absolutely not about being salty about WW2. It's being salty about much more current events. https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/poland-vows-retaliation-eu-blocked-funds-88148488
