This is not about war you morons.

Once trump is impeached we can go back to uniting the world in global harmony.

So Merkel says:

"German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her country stands behind mulitlateralism."

...and you people translate that into beating war drums?

Have y'all lost your last shred of sanity?

"A Nation with a large standing army is like a well endowed married man. It does not change your standing domestically and only encourages foreign entanglements."

This was a quote from Washington's times. Its been a problem for a long time. Just wish we would follow his example more often when it comes to these sorts of matters.

Very odd article title considering the message

“Europe is on a journey with no guarantee of success, because we are up against economic powers, like the U.S that are very dominant

she's going to have to do it the old school German way...but that didn't work out too well the last 2 times.


Hope she's pumped up these rookie numbers from 2014 if she wants to go that route.

Take the Eurofighter Typhoon. The twin-engine, canard-delta wing fighter is Germany’s most modern warplane, of which it owns 109 in three different variants. Seventy-four were available but only 42 were deployable in 2014, according a German air force report obtained by Der Spiegel .

Now look at Germany’s other fighter, the 1970s-era, variable-sweep wing Panavia Tornado—designed to speed past air defenses during the Cold War.

In total, Germany owned 89 Tornados, had 66 available and 38 deployable in 2014. That means less than half of Berlin’s fighter fleet is reliable in a war.

It's not odd when you consider they are up against US import tariffs and the reversal of the Iranian deal.

Merkel is a committed proponent of world govt. The EU is just a step. The goal is 'WorldLand'. With no nation states there can be no war because everyone is from the same country. Everyone will be equal. She doesn't understand how the US cannot see that.

It doesn't follow that if there is a united nations that transcends current tribalism that we also are equals.

Not-two = peace.

You do see that.

You just added the propaganda about the death of individualism. You can still be the best you can be. You just won't need to join the army to do it.

Yeah there’s nothing strange about a German leader complaining about the economic power of other countries; it’s not like anything bad happened the last two times it occurred
