On the other hand, most of the German war reparations after WWI should probably be repaid. The exception is whatever Germany paid to Belgium, which should be augmented with reparations from France and Great Britain.

(And I assume you meant Balkan instead of Baltic.)

I agree Germany should pay war reperations. As should Greece to Turkey and the Balkan for their invasions there, as should France to Germany for the napoleonic wars, Sweden to my hometown where they've killed nearly everyone and razed the city, the US for Vietnam to Laos. All the colonial powers should pay what they stole from their colonies, the UK to India, France to Africa. The US to the Philipines. France and the UK should pay and clean up the mess they've created in the middle east. I totally agree.

@atmosx: So your point is, only WW reperations need to be paid, if you invade a neighbour and massacre the people there, you needn't? Looks a little too specialized to be a general moral rule.

There is a reason the WW is called like that but you choose to bypass that. I understand, after all you created an account just to comment on the topic didn't you?

Anyway, I've had enough feeding trolls. Won't comment on the topic anymore, it's hot enough as it is.

[Added] The US should return the land to the natives.

LOL, you can go as back as Sparta if you like but the fact remains: NO other country started 2 WWs.

The German battles in WWI were defensive. That they happened outside the borders of Germany doesn't change that.
