    It depends on the time period, but i assume that bit is referring to the Anglo Prussian alliance. The British historically really liked giving weapons and money to anybody willing to point those weapons at the French, and Prussia was more than happy to do so

    So the appeal of the Antideutsche/Staatsräson ideology is that you get to both be and atone for your unspeakable ancestors, making modern Israel a sort of Schrödinger’s Reich?
