Quoting: keybored It is 30 years since the end of the Cold War revealed “a new narrative of global power distribution,” Merkel told lawmakers in Berlin. “There is a military and economic superpower, the USA,” which Europe has been tied up with “through a system of values,” she said. Despite all the differences, “there is still the commonality between us,” the chancellor admitted, but warned against setting one’s hopes too high when it comes to the future of US-Europe ties. [link to www.rt.com (secure)] She wants her own European army anyway. Well good luck with that... As of summer last year only a third yes THIRD of Germany`s war machine was functional. Typhoon jets: 39 of 128 Tornado jets: 26 of 93 CH-53 transport helicopters: 16 of 72 NH-90 transport helicopters: 13 of 58 Tigre attack helicopters: 12 of 62 A400M transport aircraft: 3 of 15 Leopard 2 tanks: 105 of 224 Frigates: 5 of 13 Submarines: 0 out of 6 There last Submarine was run aground due to incompetence... [link to ukdefencejournal.org.uk (secure)] We are not talking a German army. Hers will include soldiers from all European countries. I know..... But what an example to set eh!! So with this EU army, she will `shirt tail` the whole thing...but I guess with a third functioning army she will want Germany to be on the `head` of it. IF YOU HAVE A FEVER DO NOT LOWER IT WITH MEDS.... A FEVER IS AN IMMUNE SYSTEM RESPONSE TO A PATHOGEN (VIRUS, BACTERIA ETC..) IT MEANS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS WORKING PROPERLY....DONT USE DRUGS TO LOWER YOUR TEMP. |

As to this dumb bitch's comment, "former shouldn’t count on American military assistance any longer and should look towards other power centers" - Hey Cunt hole, how about strengthen Germany's own military? A country should be strong enough to defend itself. I'm not saying you need to go 1939 and launch an invasion. Rather, get your military back to where it needs to be. I would think its pretty embarrassing that the Bundeswehr has been often seen taking part in international security training events by using broomsticks instead of rifles, when everyone else is using actual firearms. |

We knew it already. Trump would let Russia invade Ukraine and not lift a finger because he admires Putin (he admires all dictators and is jealous he can't be president for life like them) Maybe, but Russia never invaded Ukraine and it never will. It was a trap setup from the West. West expected Russia to attack. Pigs will fly sooner then Russia invades Ukraine, so whats your point? |

Merkel has been their downfall Hitler's daughter? Just part of his spirit, but enough methinks to finish off Germany. Ah yes. Hitler was famous for his love of Muslims His actions resulted in what is happening now in Germany. That was my point. Intentionally or not, he took a destructive path. There were few men of military age left after the war. Only boys and old men. The decimation was horrible. Now this communist agent, Merkel, a tyrant herself, is in the process of ending Germany entirely. |

Fourth Reich is here and the people that should be defending the sovereignty of the nation are willingly giving it up to a foreign power. Who would have believed it in 1948?

Not just for having an EU army, it mean diminishing reliance on American equipment and weapons systems and greater use of European made kit,which obviously the US wouldn't want. Which we paid for Germany has cheated US taxpayers long enough Huh, we've had to buy it from you and not at 'mates rates' either , unlike Saudi Arabia. Geez, does anyone here understand NATO? NATO's defense spending guidelines call for allies to dedicate at least 2 percent of their rGDPs to military matters. Germany, along with all but five of NATO's 28-member states, has long fallen far short of the 2 percent target.. This leaves America picking up tab Does anyone in this thread understand your own country? America taxpayers have been left with your military debt Last Edited by Dame on 09/11/2019 09:51 AM |
