(in the past), and the African nations demanded that the Europeans pay for the past, according to them Europe has terrible &#8220;historical&#8221; debts, and I am a little sad for the past of the peoples, for our history, concerning the Africans I can understand them quite easily&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;so, what the African nations are demanding is a good sign that, nevertheless, we are &#8220;civilizing&#8221;, we&#8217;re moving towards the perfectionism of historical civilizations, right &#8211; I am not using cynicism nor sarcasm, I never have any distrustful attitude towards human motives, never and ever, it&#8217;s true that we are animalistic creatures but I do not believe that people operate mainly out of self-interest (I simply cannot believe this, in any way, cause if so&#8230; then why am I not the same myself)&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;just as, the same again, I do not believe that &#8220;nations&#8221; operate mainly out of self-interest, otherwise we wouldn&#8217;t have the politics, the policies, the rules, the systems etc., my words never imply any mocking distrust regarding the sincerity, integrity of nations, otherwise we wouldn&#8217;t have the United Nations, right &#8211; even though, as a fresh example from our political history, we &#8220;reserve&#8221; the right to exterminate and starve an entire nation in Gaza, imagine&#8230; we starve 2 million people in the political &#8220;daylight&#8221; of the 21st century, we allow the &#8220;imposition of political ambitions&#8221; to take Greenland&#8230; or any island in the world&#8230; or to invade Ukraine, we impose a devastating war on a democratic nation of 40 million souls, or we sell 300-400 billion weapons to the Saudis&#8230; to the Gulf states, and call it &#8220;business&#8221;, or we force Europe to pay 5% for the &#8220;hungry arms industry&#8221; of 50 States, or or&#8230; myself I am just wondering why Europe doesn&#8217;t annex Britain, it&#8217;s an island, right, Europe has the right, just as someone can take Greenland, just as China can &#8220;encircle&#8221; Taiwan etc&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;or, as the whole world knows, the International Tribunal declares someone a &#8220;war criminal&#8221;, but the international community is &#8220;nobody&#8221;, internationals have no authority, they are no United Nations, even if they were we still can use &#8220;veto&#8221; but luckily they aren&#8217;t &#8211; so, on the one hand, we &#8220;declare someone a war criminal&#8221;, on the other hand we destroy, we starve 2 million people of Gaza doing &#8220;political business&#8221; with the same &#8220;war criminal&#8221;, or we bomb surrounding countries etc&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;at least, finally the UN is right, shame on us : ) we trade in slaves and we don&#8217;t pay our historical debts &#8211; now the UN has woken up, at least this, seriously a very good sign that we&#8217;re getting somewhere, better late than never : )<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/arspo_evropa_ka_borxhe_te_tmerrshme_historike_1_opt.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/arspo_evropa_ka_borxhe_te_tmerrshme_historike_1_opt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1120\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letrat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/arspo_evropa_ka_borxhe_te_tmerrshme_historike_1_opt.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/letrat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/arspo_evropa_ka_borxhe_te_tmerrshme_historike_1_opt-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/letrat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/arspo_evropa_ka_borxhe_te_tmerrshme_historike_1_opt-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/letrat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/arspo_evropa_ka_borxhe_te_tmerrshme_historike_1_opt-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(s. guraziu &#8211;
