why y'all respond to that troll anymore is beyond me

Your timing is prescient because as I read through that thread where he supposedly cancelled his trip here the the fact that he's simply a person exercising a persona became obvious.

So. Nope. Done with that silliness.

Sorry America but as a member of NATO you have to protect other members if they need it.


As part of the NATO Charter, what percent of spending is Germany supposed to spend on defense? What are they currently spending?

Uh.... yeah... they don't share our values, they don't engage or join in our efforts around the world, and they rely on us solely to keep them safe. Are you fricking kidding me? What does Germany do for us, or the world?

Biggest stain on civilization

Good! Perfect! It would be one thing if we were talking about 3rd world shitholes that are easy prey for more developed nations. These are countries who want to weigh in on US domestic issues, and tell us how we should be doing things, and criticize us for not doing things more like them.

We pay for their defense while they spend their money being better-than-thou to the rest of the world, and looking down their noses at us. Pay your own damn way!

Merkel thinks America should be "German first".

The fact that we haven't wiped that country off the map is amazing to me. They always seem to try to rule the world.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Europe can no longer count on the U.S. for military protection and must “take its destiny into its own hands.”


German Luftwaffe only has 4 combat ready eurofighters

German navy does not have enough ships for future missions

German military's lack of readiness

Glad to see that the wicked witch of European socialism has finally seen the light, but they have a lot of work to do.

No way. We need our Military. We don't need to cut anything
We just need to be ready for anything. Uncle Sam can't call 911. He IS 911.

I always get a kick when the krauts lecture us on our past civil rights issues.

I never said anything about getting rid of our military. I was addressing those who say our budget is out of whack due to military spending.
