Good.

Germany can pay for their own damn defense.

NATO is obsolete and has outlived its usefulness.

Merkel fully expected Americans to pay for the invasion against her own people she caused. We also would've paid for the invasion of the entire European continent if the climate accord had gone through.

Now add in all the money Americans have given them to support their socialist health care systems over the decades. No more.

And what thanks do they ever give us? "Look at how stupid Americans are they don't vote for universal healthcare"... Maybe because we know we won't be able to afford it. The only reason they aren't speaking Russian is because of us

I feel sorry for Germans. The powers that be fully intend to crush them for eternity because they're still mad about WWII.

And Merkel is spearheading the crusade against Germany for decades. She was a former communist btw and shifted the entire conservative party (CDU/CSU) into hardcore Marxism.

I mean, what the hell are you gonna vote in Germany? There is no Trump-option.

Because Germany is the most recent country that figured out that degeneracy is what causes a great nation to fall to pieces and they actually tried to do something about it

It's not to punish Germany for World War 2, it's to send a message to other Western nations that if you don't accept degeneracy as the "new normal" then you'll end up like they did, carved up and humiliated while your culture is obliterated.

They retardedly drank the Green koolaid after Fukushima, they were already basically an environmentally friendly country! but then some retards thin that what happened in Fukushima will happen in Germany so they shut down all the nukes and went to coal! hows that for irony?

When was the last major earthquake and tsunami in Germany?

Have to burst your bubble but germany has as many uranium resources as they do oil. THEY ARE ACTIVELY TRYING to align themselves with RUSSIA . That is exactly why they made a pipe to bypass POLAND ...

They push the green economics for two reasons ... One is the lack of resources and Two ... is the fact that they have the biggest industrial base ... that gives them a huge advantage in aligning themselves to any new regulation that they them-self envision. All EU countries are fucked. Were back to WWII . This time they will be "friends" with the Russians.

Pfft. Coal is the real issue. 30% of Germany's power is from coal, from German coal mining companies - owned by the wealthiest people, of course. They're making claims to shut down coal power by some vague date decades in the future, but they never will, because that would cut a huge source of income for the 1%ers.

They push "green" because it makes them look good. It's snake oil.

Why would we protect Germany from Rusiia when Germany buys most of the petrol from Russia?

bill_in_texas 28 points ago +29 / -1

Merkel and Co. have absolutely zero excuse for supporting the Nordstream PPL. They can buy CNG securely from the US and not have to worry about the supply being cut off suddenly in the middle of Winter.

You just have to wonder what's wrong with the German people that they have allowed their country to be overrun by violent Muslims who hate them, and then intentionally make themselves vulnerable to Russia. Maybe the plan is scorched Earth, like the humans in the original Planet of the Apes. Set off a bomb to destroy everything, and Russia won't want to invade to take over ruins.

Heh, you think Seattle and Portland are bad...go talk to some lefty Germans. They're weird, hate themselves, and compensate for it by loving anything that comes out of a third-world country.

You know what's even more retarded?

Germany produces enough natural gas for their own needs! They choose to buy Russian gas because the further west from Russia, the more expensive and profitable it is. So the Germans sell 2/3 of their NG to Iberia, BENELUX, and the UK, while turning around and buying cheap Russian gas.

Germany is decent for natural gas prices because of this, but I don't blame Merkel for not wanting to be the one who causes gas prices to go up 40% to use their domestic supply.

They had actually planned to invest in a Canadian company to produce compressed gas because sending gas from west coast canada, pipe it to Halifax, and then boat it over to Germany would still be cheaper and more secure than buying Russian. Amazing how retarded politicians are, a businessman would've made this decision decades ago.

Problem is there'd be almost zero chance of that pipeline ever being built in Canada. This is how fucked up things are here now, we're shipping crude from Alberta, to BC(west coast), then floating it by tankers through the panama canal, and to a refinery in New Brunswick(east coast).

article on it if you're curious: https://globalnews.ca/news/7176448/first-shipment-alberta-oil-refiney-irving/ or https://archive.ph/IrhiF

Sounds like the only reason why using their domestic supply is more expensive than importing it is due to the government over-regulating their own shit.

Zero? LOL. They have every reason to, the Sauds bought and paid for the EU a long time ago. It's their market. They will claim it, no matter what. The more we in the US detach from OPEC and become more self sustaining and a net exporter, the harder the Sauds will fight for the EU.

It's always oil, and it's always the Sauds. If we glassed the entire Kingdom tomorrow, and Quatar and Dubai and the other ME oil producing countries with it, at least half of the wars, conflict and political corruption would end at the same time.

Why does Germany need protection from Russia? Please God someone tell me why we are pretending Russia is a global boogeyman in 2020.

2
BPasFuck 2 points ago +2 / -0

They're not a Global boogeyman.

But they are a regional concern. Just ask Georgia and Ukraine. Being able to cut off the pipeline means Germany (and by extension the EU,) can go fuck itself when Russia decides more of Ukraine needs annexing.

*edited to fix typo, as to ask

debacle 2 points ago +2 / -0

Those pipelines are Russia's economy. If Germany can't divest themselves that's their problem.

My answer would be because of Crimea. Obviously Putin has no problem pushing his neighbors around. And without US forces, Europe can be Putin's playground if he wants. Whats the UN or EU going to do? Actually help Poland? No one helps Poland.

Why would the USA protect any country from any other country? Playing the globalization game has built china and india in lieu of a future for our own children.

The same reason why you would protect your friend from other people.

FireannDireach 1 point ago +1 / -0

Because if the globalists get their way, Germany will buy oil and natural gas and petrol from the Sauds, through pipelines in Syria, through Turkey. What do you think the current ME situation is about? The death cult? Nah. It's oil. It's always oil. The death cult would have been eradicated decades ago if oil have never been discovered in the ME.

And it's not just the troops themselves spending money. There's also local procurement for food, supplies, and services to support troops and operations.
