    Who gives a damn? I suspect Germany needs us more than we need them.

    Let me tell you what "most" American's think about Europe. You've become cucks for the religion of Islam. You let them take over your countries and rape and pillage your society. So we don't give a damn what you think about our country or beliefs. Deal with on your own. Europe is full of fail.............and why you are currently under siege. NOT OUR PROBLEM.

    Yes, there's no getting around the fact that Euro-States have benefited and continue to benefit from the actions of the US militarily.

    Angela The Cheap B!tch does not want to pay up.

    And now she is guessing that Ivan Putin will not invade either.

    NATO is nonessential.

    DJ Trump was right about that.

    Venezuela is not the USA's problem either.

    Brazil or Mexico can deal with it.

    They will get the refugees anyway.

    Don't you have any education? Jeez.
    Before WW1.. Yes. I don't think you can read. I was speaking of the French losses in WW1 and how few men survived to marry and have children.

    You need to stop, because you sure as hell don't know what you're talking about. Between post ww1, and their defeat by the Germans, the French had the largest Army in Europe. It wasn't a demographics problem that led to the French being defeated by the Germans. The French had a WW1 defensive mindset, while the Germans had perfected mobile warfare. Incompetence at the highest levels of the French military led to the defeat of the French military.

    Further more, at anytime prior to 1938, the French had more than ample opportunity to have rolled into Germany, and stop Hitler in his tracks. Germany's flagrant violations of the Treaty of Versailles, was justification enough to do so. I understand there was no political will after the horrors of WW1, but humanity paid a bigger price due to inaction during WW2.

    Post a link for me.. You blame the French for "inaction"?

    I can't imagine the French starting a war as you suggest they "could have"... especially over the Treaty of Versailles which was overly punitive to begin with.

    Yep ... ´Merkel learned that this impudent Trainee in White House has no clue about anything. Who counts on the USA as partner and ally is at least lost ... this is the real meaning of America First for the foreigners!
    But so it is ... let this White House troll create a Bunker of America against the rest of the world if he wants ... but he shall never wondering when the others do the same against the USA at least.
    Interesting how one US idiot can destroy history of 60 years within months!


    A nice proof of his vacuum inside the head!

    No ... but being a liar and a diplomatic elephant in China shop and selling worst BS as truth is a bad thing, as it is to destroy alliances with ignorance and impudence!

    From the end of WW1 to the outbreak of WW2, France maintained a army of 900,000, with 5 million reservist.
    I don't blame the French, but they certainly had the manpower, and ability to nip Hitler's militarism in the bud early on. His flagrant violations of Versailles was justification for such a action.

    Thank you.. I had always been taught otherwise.

    excerpt

    Strength and organization of the Army divisions and l’Army de l’Air of France in September 1939

    France emerged from World War One with considerable military prestige, but the French Forces and indeed the whole nation were exhausted. After the experiences of World War I, there was considerable weight of opinion, and political pressure behind the view that a strategy based upon a solid defensive line accorded best with the demands of modern warfare and the needs of the country. French Maginot LineThe result was the construction of the fortress complexes of the Maginot Line, which absorbed a great deal of the defence budget.

    The French military establishment had its critics, and there was a small but vociferous school of thought which condemned the reliance on static fortifications. The French Army, based on conscription, was of variable quality; reserve divisions especially were often considered a liability, and observers, including the British General Brooke, were shaken by their insubordination and slovenly appearance.


    The French Army was mobilised on 1 September 1939: about 5,000,000 reservists were to be added to the standing army of 900,000 men.

    But then you can kick the UK into their butt too ... and at least all who set signature on Versailles treaty!

    But if they had really the manpower and ability for this is questionable... I will say until 1938 they had, after it not!

    Correct. Between 1934-36 would have been a perfect window for such a action.

    I know that it is evil and also impertinent in the end, because you really want no one and one dishonor also no victims or so ...

    But I have already read a comment, that at 9/11 unfortunately the wrong tower was hit by a plane in NY!

    Anyway ...
    Sadly, I find that many Americans seem as stupid as their current president. This trainee in the White House can apparently do the worst dine and say, even act against the constitution and they cheer him to it anyway.
    And the few who do not, there are, of course, all bad and evil lefties and liberals and, above all, Democrats! This shows how steeply the USA approach the abyss and since January ever steeper!
