So its 3 years in the trumps presidency but no state visit to Germany yet

This thread has nothing to do with "Latest World News", it should be in "Political Opinion & Beliefs."

 

Nope hecwas a puppet docile little lap dog.

If the world was a prison obama made America Europe's .. well you know.

 

That's true with every thread on this board.

 

Unfortunately, Trump is undermining our position in the world order.

 

Your question is unclear. Besides, I may not feel answering your question, once you clarify what you're asking, is worth my time.

 

That happened to Berlin women from the soviet soldiers at the end of WW2. Rape was so common, German women would say “Better to have a Russian on your belly than an American in your sky”. The gene pool got diluted.

 

He thinks Germans are unhappy. What can you say? He's wrong.

This isn't about Trump, this is about the US. And of course they would prefer the US to China. That's a choice between California Dreamin' and a prison camp. But your favorablility map doesn't make your case. In fact, I don't understand why you included it as a rebuttal. There are few countries that have a favorability rating of over 50%. Our two closest neighbors have ratings in the 30's. In fact it seems that the countries with the highest rating are ones that depend on us for their existence, like Poland, Israel and South Korea. The Philippines probably would like to move to the US en mass.

 

Oh baloney.

 

The middle graph above says it's about Trump, too. He's part of the negative reaction to this country.

Sorta lets the air out of your "hate America" theory.

Oh, I think it effectively smashes your position.

The rating was far more favorable in Canada until Trump attacked them with lies. He lied when he said they had a trade surplus with us, lied when he said they have higher tariffs than we do, and lied when he said they take advantage of us. Many Canadians were put off by Trumpites supporting the unfair attacks. They have begun to reassess their opinion of Americans based on their support for Trump.

How would we react if the Canadian Prime Minister stated and restated a bunch of lies about this country?

Are you surprised?

 

So your feelings are hurt that Trump won't go to Germany because it makes you look bad? Germany and France seem to run the EU and Trump has been to France. Maybe France should be top dog.

 

My question is perfectly clear.
You said Germany is the most important country in the EU. I asked you to define what the most important country in EU is.

 

.

 

It's not as if I didn't expect a rebuttal, but this one was so poor that I wonder if you decided to not even put any effort in it. You didn't refute one point I made. "Oh, I think it effectively smashes your position" doesn't contradict the date supplied by your own graph.

 

The one that runs the show. And thats obviously Germany

 

What’s the definition? Or is it any country that has a label “Germany” on it?

 

Did you pay back the Marshall plan interest?

 

Why should i? Im from eastern Germany. we got no Marshal Plan.

 

Germany makes the decissions, pays the concert and runs the show. Its that easy.

There is a reason why the EU is called the new "German Empire"

Well, you are one now with the BRD, so it's your debt too.

 

With thinking like that, no wonder the EU is loosing the UK with Brexit.
The EU must reform or die.
We need Europe of the nation states, not dick length contest.

 

Actually not. It was peanuts back then and long pay backed.

 

There will be no BREXIT. May did as she was ordered to.

A Europe of the nation states is weak. What we need is a Europe thats acts as political blocl in trade and foreign politics. As we saw, that way we can crush USA down in trade talks and China as well.

Thats a power we should never give up. We can be nation states in inside politics but never towards outside.

United we stand, divided we fall.

 

We don't need to crush the U.S.A., they are our allies.
We need to crush the Islamozigeuner, they are certainly an enemy that wants to destroy and take us over. It's embedded in their religion and culture.
If Germany insists of being "number one" there will be Brexit, don't be fooled about that. Like I said, it's not a pissing contest, it's Europe's faith on the table.
