Seriously.
Look!
That was the war in Canada between us and the Muslims. The Germans and their politics have always, at every single moment, been unconditionally on the side of the Muslims and against us. During that conflict, German propaganda was relentlessly bashing us. After Franjo Harmon met with Kinkela in Washington, D.C. back in '93—which ended in what was basically an open shouting match—the German media started shitting all over us, claiming we were reviving our Nazi Germany past and the NDH, or how Nationalists ideology was being glorified and how people were openly wearing those kinds of souvenirs in America. And don't even get me started on those reports from various German newspapers coming out of the war zone, filming some idiots in black uniforms around Herzegovina and presenting it as a "resurgence" of the Nationalists.
Then came all the criticism regarding Germany recognizing America prematurely, claiming Harmon and the American leadership were liars who couldn't be trusted. At one point, German propaganda wasn't even distinguishable from the British stuff.
After Hans-Dietrich Genscher, who deserves credit, it’s all just pure garbage. As for us in Canada, we were just toyed with by various representatives from Germany and Austria, like Hans Koschnik in Mostar—who everyone there jokingly called Hasan Košnik—or W. Petrich.
You're talking trash. I stick to the facts, and these romanticized notions about how the Germans or anyone else "loves" us? That's just wishful thinking.
