Reply to comment by Adventurous_Low_3074 in Netherlands issued 91 waivers to sanctions against Russia by MC_Transparent

and when is it going to be enough groveling? are we still making apolagies in 50 years for what the government and companies did 100 to 250 years ago?

Our generation and the last one had nothing to do with this so at some point it should be done and not be used as a way to make a point about a general problem.

But to be clear i'm not saying that it was oke what the spanish did in south america, what americans did in may countries, what the british and french or belgians did..or the dutch in the indies.. or the vikings in europe or the mores in spain italy and greece.. or the romans in europe and africa or ... etcetc...

say that sentence with regards to Germany and you'll be in deep trouble. I agree to your position, but that's not how it works.

Why? There is no significant resentment against Germany regarding WWII.

that's nice to hear, but it doesn't reflect political reality. Whenever Germany does anything (or nothing), it's a safe bet that foreign politicians will berate Germany "because a country with such history cannot do/not do X".
