I'm so loving that you're watching these. Must be even harder to watch as an American. Don't let the "shame" let you close your eyes about these things. That's what my Grandma taught me here in Germany: "You are not guilty about the past deeds of your country kid, but you're responsible for the future."
Thank you for this comment 🌸
Germans have done a beautiful job doing this. I'll try to encourage us to do the same here. Thanks.
Yeah, luckily the whole Ukraine situation is a differed story, and we are doing the right thing there...😬
Meanwhile the Dutch PM and the Dutch king apologise for slavery and the slave trade in the 17th-19th century, which at its peak was only 5% of Dutch GDP.
@@ronaldderooij1774 Hem... The Dutch learned triangle trade from Portuguese, tried to settle in Brazil but were expelled by Portuguese, moved to Antilla and provided the capital, knowledge and initial slaves to start the huge Antillan slave economy, be the islands French, English or Spanish.
"at least USA opened the files"
Well... when they opened THESE files, try to imagine what they didnt open
Assenge, Snowdon, Bradley........
100%
And its not like there were any consequences after they did open them.
The "Bucha massacre", "Uyghur genocide", "Assads chemical attacks"... a few more lies from the US/UK they might open their files about in a few decades. Basically all the bad things that western media tells us are made up about Russia, China, Syria, Libya, Venezuela, Cuba, Jugoslavia and the 80 other countries in Asia, Africa, Middle-East and South-America being under constant US attacks, coups attempts and sanctions.
good point
You should watch Volker Pispers "History of USA and terrorism". It has English subtitles an explains the historical US involvement in foreign politics. Very detailed and fact based - and with a lot of puns to the German politicians at that time. Watch in in private if you like, five parts around 9 minutes each.
+1 to that
Yes its great
CIA also involved in my country Malaysia with 2018 election, when opposition party won 1 weeks later our minister thanks to CIA to helped them to catch "corrupt leader". But when we trace back, our previous prime minister refuse to accept Lgbt rights in 2011 so CIA is planning to do this. What worst is they even recruits a New team for mossad which ias career Jobs.
No Wonder they keep getting won since then.
Part of the involvement in foreign politics. He doesn't touch on the Central American issues for example. Very factual nevertheless. Poor German politicians ;o).
Volker Pispers the godfather of german satiric comedy
Nice another American reaction on this explanation. 😂 One of the best satire shows in Germany
Nowadays such a show is unthinkable (in Germany)
Die Anstalt gibt's doch noch.
@@spirwes64why?
@@spirwes64🤡
@@spirwes64still on live TV or online in the Mediathek. What are you talking about?
I love "Die Anstalt".
Every time I watch it I first start laughing, until I remember, that all what they say is true, only said in a satiric way and I can't believe, we or the industry our government or some other government is doing these things and noone seems to held responsible for all the consequences.
German television loves to put itself morally above others but fails to mention that germany was involved in everything there were 200 companies that supplied weapons technology including poison gas to hussein german intelligence was also to blame for the second iraq war in 2003 because they installed a double agent (curveball) and deliberately gave false information to the cia.
germans like to please themselves with their moral superiority.
Thinking about what's happening there nowadays makes it even worse - where could they have been now?
> noone seems to held responsible for all the consequences.
How could American voters (and other residents) change the practices of the CIA? Of the department of (ahem) defense? How have they successfully done so in the past? If never, why not?
@@t.a.yeah.😢
They were great up until 2014... since then losing their grip and also been subjugated to mass media censorship since Covid/2020... they clearly are not as sharp anymore since then as they were before.
we did have a lot of the information even before the Americans made their records public. Which is why Germany was so reluctant about joining the Gulf wars (see f.e. the reaction and public debate then, let‘s say by the reaction of then foreign minister Joschka Fischer, who stated, he simply does not believe the „facts“ the U.S. claimed they have about weapons of mass destruction even back then). The problem is that you do not have a real opposition that fact checks the government in the U.S. A lot of this might have been prevented…
The biggest problem is the two party status quo. Every action or speech has a motive, an agenda and critique is also politically motivated. Even absolutely necessary actions like pandemic relief needs to be stalled and sabotaged to advance party position. Bipartisanship is not polarising enough to be marketed.
Black and white thinking is highly indoctrinated into US culture. It's the pillar of Disney storytelling: Good vs Evil. As long as americans see it like that things are never going to improve. The world is not dualistic, its a multi faceted pluralistic society. True federalism should reflect that.
@@picketf
Well everybody agrees that good should win over bad.
The problem is what is "GOOD", very well expressed in the video.
Simple people think 'help neighbours' ,
Simple soldiers think 'life'.
Simple millionaire think 'money'.
So state manipulated by rich tell people, he have to help country X, sending our soldiers (giving life) to held status quo ( rich staying rich and becoming richer).
@@MiaMerkur "Well everybody agrees that good should win over bad." That's also pretty much doctrine, and we should avoid assuming that. Friedrich Nietzsche argues in his work Genealogy of Morals, that we should consider evil to be an equally valid point of view. The fact that US society is so value laden makes it very difficult to accept an alternative. It forces people to think the same while making them think they're individualistic. In "The Grapes of Wrath" John Steinbeck makes the same observation, how puritanism is deeply entrenched in society and how it sucks the life and joy out of natural desires.
It is a good thing that you became reflective at the end of your reaction. Please note, much of the information presented was not hidden. There is and was a lot of information available. Morever, I think it's a convenient excuse to say it's all government and there's nothing I can do as an individual. The fact is that the US has been committing war crimes for decades (e.g. waging a war of aggression) but claims to be morally right. There is not much difference between Democrats and Republicans on this issue. Americans claim to live in a democratic country. Then they are also responsible for their government. It is high time that Americans take responsibility for their actions.
Well if both Democrats and Republicans are on board then what exactly is some random citizen supposed to do? It's not like any of the other parties has a chance of winning the election. Voting only goes so far in a 2 party state.
@@sertu1462yes, that why lobbyist win. Whoever won, lobbyist Will told government to do what they want. Remember when republican doing war on terror? And when democrate tookover, they never pull back but instead tripling the force in middle east. This is why 2 party system is bullshit and easy to controlled
Which once more underlines that the way politicians decide what to do is flawed and that would be what big donators want, right? @@sertu1462 That is not the standard American citizen. Some people with a lot of money seem to have (had) an interest in what happend.
@@sertu1462 then you might need a 3rd party or a fourth? why so defeatist on that? may be a terrible example but still, the right wing party running italy right now was only founded in 2012... another party in germany founded in 2013 is now at 20%, still in the opposition but a pain in the behind of all other parties and more importantly, in the EU parliament... 3 out of the 5 leading parties in france were founded in the last 20 years... should i go on? so if they all can do it, why can't you? i know you all have been told for decades that a 3rd party is impossible but is it really? isn't that just propaganda?
@@raistormrs Right Wing Populists like Fratelli or the AfD have it much easier to grow in such turbulent times, and they are also the absolutely last thing the US(or anyone else really) needs even more of, also the US anyways already had and have their equivalents to that with the Tea Party Movement and Donald Trump(and the Republicans in general are anyways closer to the AfD than to any other notable Party in Germany).
Ryan: Your honest consternation and shock at the end of that video is highly appreciated!
Thanks for your reaction. One thing worth mentioning related to „Die Anstalt“ (I do not know whether somebody already stated it): they provide details about the sources of their investigations along with the show.
And they are publicly funded. Probably another stark contrast to America
Like other comments already suggest, If youre interested in this, watch Volker Pispers "History of Usa" Video.
As a German, I can tell you, the translation via subtext IS the best I've seen yet.
To catch Satire and sarcasm from German Kabarett is difficult, but this subtext in that Video get's it done 😊
Yes his video is awesome
This is one of the best pieces of German satire. It is quite short and on point.
Is it satire?
@@magicmerl7749it is a satire tv show but based on fakts. So it takes the fakts and delivers it with puns.
@@magicmerl7749Jep
@@magicmerl7749
No the laughs were serious
@@magicmerl7749 In these times you can only tell the truth as a satire - or you get canceld and brought down....
Very oversimplified, but largely correct. To understand why the US did it you basically need to follow the money. Corporate interest determined most of it. The overthrow of Mosadegh also was about a panic over access to oil, because lots of war machines were very dependent and Germany and Japan lost for a significant part because of their lack of access to oil.
Just one note: Mossadeq was overthrown in 1953. I do not really see a link to Germany and Japan as WWII ended in 1945.... Perhaps you can explain further?
Germany and Japan didn't lose for a lack of oil... It certainly didn't help matters but they lost because they screwed with two of the biggest powers on the planet, one with a willingness to do anything to win, and the other that could build more stuff than the rest of the world combined and then some.
It's was a forgone conclusion who was going to win from the second they invaded Russia and the US respectively
@@A_Name_ but germany was the biggest power back then. the problem was that the japanese attacked pearl harbor, forcing the US to join the war. So when the US forces landet in italy and france the germans were forced into basically 3 front war since their allies the italians had no chance against the US. Therefore the germans had to withdraw many troops from the eastern front. Which gave the russians (plus the harsh winter the germans weren't prepared for) the chance to push back. Operation Barbarossa (the attack on the soviets) started 41. Back then it was looking really bad for europe so no that's not when the axis' defeat was sealed but when the us landed in sicily and the italians basicaly immedeately surrendered
@@oneup9166 Germany was far from a world power in fact they were not close from being bankrupt, the war economy helped in that scence. The US and Soviet Union were way bigger economies. If you listen to a private recording of Hitler to a Finnish ally he says he was impressed how industrialized the Sovjet Union was at that time. Also the US were already supporting them through the Lend-Lease Act (aswell as the UK).
I guess the true background of the Iran conflict is not taught in American schools.
I remember all the anti-French attacks by the USA because the French government dared to maintain that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
you mean : french fries ... now called patriotic fries ??
@@bh5037 it was "freedom fries" and it was hilarious how bad it was
I still remember the now called "Nayirah testimony", when this young woman talked about the killed babies in Kuwait. It was so emotional, so well made - it really made you want to take up arms and help these poor babies. Well - babies probably did die in Kuwait, but not because the were taken out of incubators and these incubators were stolen...
The second thing I remember: the "I'm not convinced" by Germany's then foreign minister Joschka Fischer when Rumsfeld + Powell brought their "evidence" of Iraq's WMDs.
I'm sufficient old as well :o).
It really was a very convincing and persuasive performance by that young woman.
I can't blame the UN assembly for believing her. Who would expect anyone to go to such lengths just to start a war against a former ally?
If it was fiction it would be deemed unrealistic.
As Julian Assange said: We can't make good decisions when we don't even know how anything works.
@@davidwuhrer6704 I can. Destroying the live of thousands on the statement of one person. You better have some harder proof.
@@KeesBoons True. But it was not the UN assembly who killed all those people, they only decided to approve of an embargo against Iraq to help stop the war in Kuwait. (Which was still a war.)
It was the USA who launched an invasion in Iraq. That was not approved by the UN.
@@davidwuhrer6704 I know. I was not referring to the direct killing. But for me that does not change the fact that they should check their information. Politicians in general act too much without regard for long term effects and too little regard for short term effects as well, often based on dubious information.
10:01 If you want more backstory and details "Volker Pispers' History of USA and Terrorism" will give you plenty.
It's the best!❤
One of a few times where the subtitles are actually spot on...
would love to see more reactions to that show.
You would be surprised what else the US government is responsible for in this world. However, I do not want to absolve other states from their guilt.
You are not in the position to absolve anyome, or are you god?
All other states combined aren't 1/10 as guilty as the US, that's the point. At least if we look at the last 50-60 years in isolation.
@@derbigpr500
Or the treat of natives?
Thank you for our reaction to the video. I believe it is quite painful to watch. There is a lot of dirty politics almost all countries do in the background. But without learning about it, as uncomfortable as it is, there is no change to the better
I've seen a number of US-TH-camrs watch German satire lately, mainly for educational purposes...
Their reactions are gold!
This show is an absolute gem. They explain stuff in an entertaining way but also well researched and easy to understand for everyone.
Also they mostly don't seem to be a weird agenda and trash on Germany just as they do it on the USA here.
Nice reaction, this video is a classic for Americans to react to. We all make mistakes as individuals and as societies. It’s important to learn from them and no repeat them. Therefore we need to always remember the mistakes we made and teach future generations early enough so they don’t repeat the mistakes we and our ancestors have done.
As to your sentence "a lot of this happens in democratic countries too, if the people is badly informed" or similar:
A lot of information gets classified as - *"it might disturb the public".*
Which means mostly *"If the people really knew what shit is going on and who is responsible, we would immediately got hanged at the nearest lantern pole".*
So much about democracy...
Thank you for going to this hard places! And thank you for sharing your thoughts on this! It helps connect those people who don’t want any more lies or wars around the world! There are many of us and it’s good when we realize that.
"Die Anstalt" is a very important part of German television landscape. The authors and their teems seem to investigate all facts very deeply. The don't handle international politics only, bat national issues too. So they report about strange relations between law, market, environment, lobby, economy and state. Every show looks different and seems to be a theatre piece. And rather often the laughting stays sticked in the throat because the facts are so bizarre.
was very important. the last three years though...
I never saw the show because after minutes I reallized the 'comedy' is not funny at all.
But I surly would have watched it when presented as history lesson in quite funny way.
Seems I had the wrong tv magazine.
And I i agree Ryan should do more of them.
@@MiaMerkurYou're right, partly the show is not funny. That comes because it often exhibits and explains real life facts, that are often unknown to common people. All these facts are very well investigated and double checked. So one can learn something what stays normally unspoken. The actors try to give it a funny look. But sometimes "laughting stays sticked in your throat" (that's a German idiom).
I got chills watching your face taking this in
education is everything 🤝
Don't let your ears hang, it's not your fault. That's why we say in Germany that we must never forget. So that this never happens again. That would be our fault. That's how it is.
This is in part why I wonder why you americans are still proud of your country.
Über 40.000 PR Mitarbeiter der CIA. Das erste Opfer des Krieges ist immer die Wahrheit:)
Propaganda, brainwashing, propaganda, some more brainwashing, and more propaganda.
Wenn wir Ryan jetzt dazu bringen, auch die anderen Tafelnummern zu schauen, wird er zum bestgebildeten Amerikaner!
As a German, I know and appreciate this TV show very much. It summarizes well what I myself have read in the German media over the last decades or what my parents told me from the time before.
I can see you're interested, maybe even shocked. For anyone who feels the same after learning this, I beg you to go deeper and read some books that explain not just the US's role in this, but how all of it logically and consistently builds on hundreds of years of colonialism and imperialism, and how these systems are in place until today, often taking much subtler, but also more destructive forms. If you don't know your history, you don't know your present, that is: yourself. A realistic account of our own identity and subsequent self-actualization starts exactly here.
Ryan: 'it's a terrifying world out there '.
No Ryan, the terror is not 'out there ', it's American terror. 😢
Ja und bald wird diese Show mit aller Gewalt beendet. Das schöne am 3. WK ist, das es alle großen Länder erwischt. Das beruhigt mich sehr.😅
Please see “Volker Pispers History of USA an Terrorism”…there are 5 Parts. Its a MUST for all to see, to understand and to learn.
@Ryan: please get involved with politics, even if you weren't interested in it before. it's very important, it's the only way to form your own opinion.
@@indo6005he is not the real ryan
The US wanting seperation of church and state is a little ironic these days...
Its New world order where atheist is the main mission
The saddest thing is that you were not taught this in school or anywhere else. And you seem to be quite a nice guy. What happens, when the jerks - of whom there are many everywhere - are also never taught the real story and then vote for those who definitely never want them to know anything?! THAT is terrifying.
Of course not. School is the most important part of starting the brainwashing of the rabbel.
We you taught any of this at school? I went to a gymnasium in Hamburg, they did not teach us any of this.
@@Toffifay I can understand this not being taught in Hamburg, but in U.S. history in the United States, it should not not be taught.
@@k.schmidt2740 i agree it should be taught. But the us school System and home schooling are not helping.
But were we really taught about the real backgrounds of conflicts involving germany while they were going on?
We did talk about the iraq war in school. We just did not get these infos. I got these from home and depending on the teacher they were sometimes accepted and sometimes rejected.
@@Toffifay The Irak War began 20 years ago. Events are considered "historic" after 10 years. So the true origins of that conflict should definitely have been taught - to be accepted or contested according to informed discussion among those taught. I agree that home schooling makes the question of curriculum content extremely difficult, so that could be one reason that this content and the ensuing debate rarely, if ever, happen.
Ryan I really appreciate your videos. They are so chill and fun to watch.
Don't worry, we didn't learn that whole backstory here in school in Germany either. Interesting for sure
It depends on the quality of the school and the teachers.
Mine pointed out 40 years ago that CIS is to help putting down governents who are NOT OBEYING US governent (rich families behind the election money) by war or revolution, by killing or giving weapons and it has nothing to do if these fireign governents are good to their own folk.
They are kind of criminal but legally special military lobbyists of rich republican clans and groups mainly.
Since centuries also films point this out more and more openly.
Die Anstalt = The Asylum
Back in the day, they leaned even more on this theme, where every presenter was playing an inhabitant/doctor of said asylum.
Indicating that you have to be mentally ill, to claim these things, even though they went crazy by learning it is true.
Welcome to the part of history that is generally not told in classes.
I learned it in Germany :3
I learned it at school and university, also had war economy while Iraq war and US invasion as we had the 'no blood for oil' transparents in demonstrations.
Instead of shutting down university every professor did war stuff may it be economy, chemistry or art
and all students were allowed to watch everything pkus a lot of lectures and discussions.
So we learned much more in these two weeks than normally in half a year in a big range of knowledge.
On this conclusion you made, I watch "homecoming soldier"-clips with different eyes. What do they to their families and kids? Most important in this life is to spent time with your beloved ones. So I say to the soldiers: give up your jobs!
Imagine there is a war, and no one joins it!
Soldiers generally don't want war. In war it is the soldiers who do the killing and dying. For the same reason the military doesn't want war. But the decision is not theirs.
In _Generation Kill_ the author quotes an American soldier who said that he used to be a repo man before he joined the military, and even though he serves on the front lines, he doesn't get shot at nearly as much as he did in civvy street.
The mortality rate in war zones is lower than in American cities.
Most American G.I.s join the military because the Peace Corps only accepts academics. And because of the war machine, American domestic politics relies entirely on the military to provide any social mobility. Most academic research in the USA is financed by the military, and most jobs are provided directly or indirectly by the military, from weapons manufacturing to cleaning services.
The American G.I. is the soldier who carries more weight around than any other in history, but they are also the only soldiers in the world who don't have to clean their own toilets and make their own beds.
Major General Smedley Butler wrote the book _War Is A Racket_ in which he describes how war is good for business. Not just the arms industry, but also the textile industry, cobblers, anyone who can sell the idea that they provide vital supplies for the war effort. He said that he really worked as an enforcer for gangsters on Wall Street.
Is it any surprise then that the Fascists wanted governments to be perpetually at war?
And of course there are the usual calculations of the cost of the ongoing wars and what that money could be spent on instead. An economy that benefits the population might be a good start.
I think there is a motto that fits really well: "Support the troops: Bring them home!" John Lennon said that war is over if you want it, but there haven't been soldiers' councils for a hundred years now.
Now you need to check out this: "Volker Pispers' History of USA and Terrorism", it is more detailed, but same story.
I know it’s hard to watch but Americans need to see this Ryan
Yaeh, iI know, it's brutal. Sad but true. It wasn't only the USA though, other countries (most with a democratic elected gouverment) were complicit. But the USA played a major role.
There is not much a citizen can do to prevent such situations. The only thing an idividual can do is to become aware of what happened, reflect on it and pass this knowledge to others. The more people are aware of the history, the less likely it wil be that history will repeat itself.
Thank you so much for sharing this. You have all my respect. Reacting to these cruel truths when hearing them for the first time. Thanks.
My dream has come true!!! You have to react to more "die Anstalt"❤
RESPECT from Germany! For being that open minded not only to listen to foreign/other views but also to do it "in public" with us here on YT. On your behalf: don't judge your goverment too hard, your constitution leaves them quite defenseless against the most powerfull party of the "game" that brings the real evilness into it: money or captalism. Because of you (amaricans) we're here in the thankfull better situation to own the newest version of democratic system in the modern world (#germany). This "upgrade" helped a lot to keep "social democratic" chances more balanced to the very aggressive pushings from the financial sector to corrupt + undermine the system.
It's nice how ZDF unpacks the truth, which I don't think everyone knows from the USA
Thank you for reacting to this video, the information contained must be spread as far as possible!
You can't change this with your vote. Military politics and most of foreign politics are passed in USA for the military lobby. Republicans or democrats are both financed by it. That's not a conspiracy theory, it is a fact. Vote in USA can decide some things as LGTB rights, abortion rights, and some other things that are important, but others are really out of democratic regulation in usa, if you want to change it, you would have to really change the system totally.
I love this show! 👍🏻😁 So often the have straight up baffling evidences and connecting facts to stuff that should REALLY be common knowlege 🎉
An even more in depth explantion of the whole 'History of the USA and terrorism' Part 1-5' was presented by 4he German satirist Volker Pispers in his Show. You will find several videos with English subtitles on TH-cam and many reactions too. You can't stop laughing the way he is presenting this tough topic but once in a while the laughter will stuck in your throat.
As a german-speaker, I feel, I have to add, that yes that show is very well done and also very well researched (most of the time), it does have some political bias.
As a native german speaker (german, austrian, swiss), you will pick that up almost immediatelly.
For those who aren´t: it is leaning very much to the left. Not in a woke-ish way, but in a rather romantic for "what could have been" way.
Nevertheless, they are very good at what they are doing.
For a more balanced and "modern" approach, I´d suggest something like Jan Boehmerman (super popular right now) or some of the good investigative journalists at the "Spiegel", "FAZ", "Falter". Some of them even have journalistic/commedian shows ;)
Shortly after 9/11 around 2004 or so Die Anstalt also did a very satirical, and at the time fictional piece on who had gained the most from the 2nd American Iraqi war. Which was Halliburton and their buddies from the oil industry. In that satire they commented on which country probably would be "intervened in" next in the Middle East by the USA. They said it probably would be Syria as it had a direct border with Iraq, and a coast in the Mediterranean. For that a small but vicious terror group needed to be found that could be sent to foment a crisis in Syria. A perfect combination for a relatively short pipeline from the Iraqi oil fields bypassing the Straight of Hormuz (under constant threat by Iran), the Horn of Africa (pirates and kidnappers of any kind of major ships, right up to oil tankers for ransom), and the expensive and depth limited Suez Canal which can't accommodate the largest supertankers. That would mean the perfect shortcut, improvement for US shipping, and reduction of tanker charter fees by roughly two weeks each trip. In addition the armed guards providing security for these ships could be reduced as well as these ships would then not need to pass through these dangerous waters.
Guess what happened in the next ten years? Yepp, Syria and Assad came under fire by ISIS, creating just the civil war needed in Syria to try to depose Assad and have another, more Halliburton-friendly dictator installed who wouldn't balk at having a pipeline built through his country.
Voilà, the refugee crisis of 2015 and ongoing.
Which was then abused by the orange buffoon for his political platform in his election campaign to frame ALL Muslims as evil, requiring massive paperwork for any entry into the USA.
That's the reality of what happened since then.
It IS brutal. But sadly, it is also true.
Say what you will about the orange buffoon, but he tried to keep his election promises.
And he promised whatever got him elected.
Which apparently was anti-Muslim politics. Why anyone thought that this would be a good idea, I don't know, but I'd bet his predecessors do. And maybe Malcolm X.
And another thing is that despite his horrible failures that were his domestic policies, with the health care reform and the lack of response to Covid and the anti-environmentalism,
at least he didn't start any new wars.
It's horrifying how unusual that is for someone in that office.
There is a reason why SYRIA and UKRAINE were destabilised at roughly the same time, because both countries have/had ... *RUSSIAN NAVAL BASES!*
The USA should NEVER have touched Ukraine, because they signed the Budapest Memorandum (guaranteeing independence to Ukraine) ... but "sending BILLIONS to a country run by corrupt oligarchs" is nothing other than POLITICAL BRIBERY. This was during the OBAMA / BIDEN regime btw. ... Ms. Victoria "ffff the EU" Nuland talked about that money and you can find a bad quality clip (it is rather old, so cameras on phones were bad) on this platform.
@Rusty You are indoctrinated by whatever media you listen to, because Trump NEVER branded "all muslims" as evil. He was the one who DIDNT start any war ...
Lets talk Nordstream 2..
No doubt that's on the same level of corruptness. However, the effects of Nordstream 2 are NOWHERE even close to the invasion of Iraq, Syria, etc. So please, no what-aboutisms, they don't even take off, much less fly in the face of several hundred thousand dead Iraqis and Syrians.@@germaniatv1870

It shows that the TV Show Homeland is very accurate!
Every country has a extremly dark history, only exception could be extremely small ones.
The reason why I like Germany so much is only by the fact, that we don't hide our past. We say it like it is, we were horrible people. And since everyone knows this, it makes all german people hesitant to make something evil again, because we really can't get another bad mark on us.

Of course the Americans didn't intervene against the islamic revolution. It' started shortly after the Shah had firmly declared he wanted to use the Iranian oil for the Iranians, so make a guess..... I have seen the Interview in which the Shah declared this personally in full length a few years ago, by now only fragments of the Interview can be found in the net.....
Hi Ryan! If you watch your videos from a tv the resizing make the subs unreadable, put the video you are watching just a bit higher so it does not get cut
Speaking of Office shreddersy the CIA could leanr somethign form the Stasi 😅
They at least tried hard, until they were stormed by the people. Which tells you where people thought the real power was located.
Your conclusion is brilliant "our government is idiotic", the problem it is not just since 2017 but for a very long period before probably since the very beginning. so its neglectable if democrats or republicans its a general "american" problem.
The annoying thing is that usa does not work on its problem since 1776. And probably NEVER will do.
The US had a good run, the founding fathers gave it a mighty shove in the right direction but since the reconstruction era following the civil war this nation has more and more lost the potential for peaceful adaption through democratic process. I mean seriously the whole of the US foreign policy of 40 years was dictated by Henry Kissinger who operates on the premise "as long as we're not doing Nazi things everything goes"... no democratic process involved, just Henry playing puppet master and letting presidents stumble towards the map as if this was an Augsburger Puppenkiste TV show!
The government is a reflection of its people. A teacher once told me in a community the weakest link is the measure of all things, if you want progress you must make sure to lift up the weakest first.
Unfortunately pointing the finger and showing indifference is not going to improve things. The only solution is to stay motivated, involved and encourage others to participate as well.
Foreign nations who prey on the indifference and resignation of american voters salivate on the prospect of people throwing the towel and showing a disconnect between the population and policy makers.
@@picketf Every people gets the government it deserves. Thats another conclusion. Give the people "bread and games" and they are calm.
Hope Theres More of Ryans In states. Reactions with brain👍 cheers from finland!
"the biggest scam in American history" you ain't seen nothing yet
Dont forget Henry Kissinger after WW2 he was the one of the biggest murders in the world
The world police USA is not so innocent like they want you to know.
For example, patriotism is used as a form of propaganda. Isn't the USA the best country in the world? We have freedom...but freedom isn't unique to America. Nobody wants to talk about the problems and there is a lot of blood on the hands of the US. most US citizens never leave their country and don't even know how the world works, so how can you be patriotic if you have no comparison? man is a creature of habit and comfortable. but the truth is kept secret to protect the country... USA USA USA... just don't question why other countries don't like the USA... why should it, it's the best country in the world, isn't it?
American is brainwashed right after WW2. There's many mind control project start as small and later it became for society. China is Learning from america how to mind control their people too, thats why what china did today is following american steps one by one
"The Americans are ruthless bastards. But they are OUR bastards!" (Franz Josef Strauß, german politian, 1980)
History is written by the victors.
Woe to the vanquished
To correct you a bit. "Die Anstalt" is not particularly a satire show about america. They have all kinds of topics. Mostly social or politic debates from Germany, but international stuff as well... The jokes, or overereactions are often on point and the criticism is based on a very educational and analystic backround... these guys are geniusses.
Think about the current situation in Ukraine 😉
Awww, it's just a case of Vicki Nuland spreading some _Freedom Cookies_ back in 2014. 😉
@@zahrans Did you know that Kiev has a "Stepan Bandera" Avenue? Stepan Bandera was the head of Ukrainian fascists and organized mass murders and massacres on Ukrainian jews? He was too cruel for the Nazis and wanted an independent Ukraine apart from Nazi Germany so they put him in a luxuary apartment of a concentration camp. So, that Kiev has such an Avenue is directly conneted with the ruler of the country and city. Imagine in Berlin, Germany they would have a "Adolf Hitler" Avenue. Short, when Russia says it wants to de-nazify Ukraine it is absolutely right. Also in other cities they have such streets named after Stepan Bandera and lots of statues and monuments too.
It's really a pleasure to watch it as German speaking. Their jokes, and facts both are just on point and sometimes hard to translate. You can get their points by reading subtitles, but it's impossible to transfer the joy about how they use the language as, well some kind of weapon.
We owe our democracy and the freedom of speech (and making satire) to America. This is also a fact.Greetings and love from Berlin
We also owe it to France, GB and Russia.
How so?
@@TMG-Germany if it werent for Frankreich, GB, Russia and the US the second World war might have ended differently. Had Hitler won the war we would be living in a totalitarian state where we would not be able to say anything against the government.
They destroyed the Nazi Terror Regime. They liberated France, too. Well I guess Russia, the Soviet Union at the time, had its own ideas about freedom.
@@Toffifayrussia???😮😂😂😂😂😂
it's interesting to see how you was in the beginning and in the end. Like completely shocked.
Relax. It's never the people. It's always the government.
😎🥃
They didn't even get to the bit where they were arming ISIS in Syria, and then the bit where we abandoned our biggest allies, The Kurds, thus forcing them to take arms from Russia.
A retired US senator remarked how back in the 1950's he was able to ride a motorcycle from Morocco to Afghanistan in the 1950's and not feel threatened anywhere in the nations he traveled through.
Then the US intervened in the region, now making that same endeavor pretty much suicide.
Just to second what some other German guys already mentioned.
A lot of US American youtubers have been commenting on Volker Pipers‘ (older) routine on the States‘ and Germany‘s role in „recent“ conflicts lately.
Very well put together, comprehensible and humbling. Makes is a really powerful watch… recommended.
A good source is Daniele Ganser from Switzerland. He is a scientist for Peace. He has a TH-cam Channel as well. He has a lot of Information about Geostrategie.
thank you for reacting to this. This should be common knowledge.
"I didn't pay much attention in history class", don't worry Ryan, not even history classes outside of the US teach about the US' crimes, so I would be very surprised if there was a highschool in the US who even mentions this.
Yeah, I only learned about later in life, too. They don't teach that in school here in Germany. But I don't think that they will teach that in the US. They don't even want to teach their students about slavery or the real reason of the Civil War. So...
i think the basic problem of USA foreign policy was always short-term action with no long-time goals. The Middle-East show this domino effect of short-term targets.
It’s really common nowadays that political satire shows basically do the educating that news shows fail to do
ryan dont feel like youre responsible or bad about it. youre not the government. But I love to see you learn new things and have a more differentiated view .. greetings :)
Crazy crazy terrifying world out there. Damn. Great vid!
Fun fact, first the US started to train Islamists in Pakistan, then sent them to Afghanistan, and after that the democratically elected (but socialist) Afghan government asked the USSR for help.
Yep Afghanistan has been a democracy before the US decided to liberate it from socialism.
I feel your pain - Hugs from cold Norway !
Good you know now :)
We need more people to know things like that!
I am working in Agile project management, and one of the first things you *should do* and few people do, before you consider the approach to take to a problem/ project is to use the cynefin-principle. Which means you first try to understand whether you have a simple, complicated, or complex problem, because these require different approaches, and the worst approach you can probably take, is approaching a complex problem as if it were simple or merely complicated. Unfortunately few people realize that in complex environments a simplistic cause and effect relationship is just not what happens. Factors influence one another (in often unpredictable ways), and just shifting a dial to achieve B from A is high risk, if you didn't assess the situation as a whole and the relationships between the parts of the system and how they might influence one another. Which gets further complicated, as in complex systems these releationships themselves may shift due to changes within the system, so constant risk reassessment is necessary.
Thanks for watching this. It is a perfect video. Huge educational value!
The thruth is brutal...
It is not just about USA. This episode is among others. They hit the German state regularly.
Als die Anstalt noch knallhart war, heute leider nur verweichtlich!!! :D Nice Video
There are some inaccuracies in these jokes. For example, the claim the USA supported Osama bin Laden's Taliban, that is just untrue. The USA supported the Mujaheddin. Also, the information that Iraq has WMD, came from the Germans. Besides, the main force behind removing Iranian prime minister, were the UK. Honestly, saying this as a European, we are the main cause behind this mess and the USA was more like our capable faithful dumb dog.
Especially, Germans should be forever thankful for what the USA did for Germany after the second world war. If it were up to the usual suspects (France, UK) Germany would not exist anymore and if it did, we wouldn't even have a currency.
If you interested in more, you should listen to Volker Pisper : Historic of Amerika and Terrorism. Very good and historikal correkt.
You might wanna take a look at Professor Iain Stewart’s Planet Oil 3 episode documentary , more pieces to the puzzle 😊
By the way the title of this political cabaret show is called "Die Anstalt " (the Asylum). Where basically every one of the guests is supposedly an inmate and the 2 moderators are 2 of the psychologist staffs. That's the concept of the show which perfectly fits when the whole MADNESS of our time is basically shown and explained to us in a comedic manner. It is one of the LAST resorts for free speech here in Germany.
I did not think that the Germans were so direct when it came to denouncing the errors of American foreign policy.
In France, we would not see that, but it must be said that apart from the affair of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, we are generally like the English, the doggies of America, and even do our own stupid things like war against Nasser in 1956 or more recently to fuck the mess in Libya and in Sahelian Africa...
I don't know what is worse: that most of the Americans have never heard of these things, or that us Europeans knew everything and did nothing to prevent them. In Yugoslavia too. In Yemen too... In Africa all the time.
Immer wieder gut, die Anstalt!
