    Germany has never paid much attention to objections from Poland.

    I'm not a globalist, but I think this nationalist pissing match between our two great countries is adolescent and stupid.

    America and Germany are natural allies. We gain far more from cooperation than from conflict. There is really no need for us to argue over who makes better cars since it all boils down to a matter of personal taste and requirement. What works for the average German might not work for the average American, and vice versa.

    Instead of engaging in these silly arguments, we should be discussing how we can increase trade and cooperation between America and Germany. We should be looking for common ground, of which there is much. America and Germany both have very strong engineering, industrial, and commercial cultures. America and Germany have similar political values. But it has benefited others to see America and Germany fighting instead of cooperating. There is a real fear of America and Germany coming closer together.

    The US space program wouldn't even exist without the contributions of German engineering.

    C'mon... Germans basically invented the automobile. Let's put aside this needless squabbling and look for ways to increase cooperation between our two great countries.

    Sobo agrees with me. Unfortunately, Trump thinks he can dictate to Germany, which has hurt our relations with an important partner.

    Sobo loves to trash the USA so it is what it is.

    I hear the French have a sale on Military rifles. Never fired, only dropped in the dirt, once.

    Maybe.. the German engineers certainly gave us a jump start. Could we have done it without them ? Yes.

    Agree, but with Trump its hard regarding that. He hates Germany. He caters enemies and treats allies like enemies

    We wouldn't, if they keep off our countries.

    He just wants us to get out of every country we don't need to be in. You've proven that Germany neither wants nor needs us there. Why argue about it? You can take care of yourselves. That's what the orange man is saying. He is agreeing, but you complain. This, I do not understand.

    German rocketry wouldn't have existed if not for Dr. Robert Hutchings Goddard, an american that Von Brown studied.

    We're talking about pickup trucks for crissakes, not international relations, and Sobo and I get along fine. We've had some nice conversations about the similarities between Thüringen and Virginia.

    Which doesn't mean he didn't study what Goddard, you know the father of moder rocketry and who, in 1926, invented and built the first liquid fueled rocket.

    There is no man named von Brown. Germans have no english names.

    Your own NASA chief said, without von Braun and his team, the Saturn V would have been impossible. The entire knowledge how to make massive engines was german based. The russians for example have not managed this even today. They depend on many small engines which makes it much more propable that one blows up.

    Would you have landed on the moon? Maybe 20 years later and with a different design.

    Maybe 15 billion euros could be spent on making Germans less xenophobic.
    If it houses a bunch of refugees too, so be it.
    They regard refugees as murderers because some bad people exploit the system, so they fear them to keep them out of mind; that's Germany; Hungary are also a little racist when it comes to their own however they simply cannot afford refugees because 'Hungary don't got 15 billion euros'.
    Europe's a **** hole when it wants to be.
