    Haha... I've never heard the "handbag" joke before.
    Merkel probably didn't mean to insult Trump at all, she is just cautious about not getting the virus. I would be careful, too.
    It is hard to imagine the Americans would leave Germany totally to the last soldier. They surely will leave enough NGOs behind to do their spy work and other political oversights and influences.

    I dont know. Merkel despises Trump as the primitive goon he is. She gave up on any constructive attempt to work with him and goes full confrontation now.

    Insiders says she doesnt sugar coat stuff anymore. When Trump announced he want hold G7 meeting it was clear he want play "normal" and that crisis is over. Merkel has no will to play in his election campaign, so she said no and publicly crushed his stunt. She also made a phone call few days ago to him and they say she openly confronted him about his incompetence.

    As for Ivanka, she is is the target of much satire here in Germany and Europe in general. She appears like a typical dumb american airhead.

    Best comment came from a german journalist when Ivanka was present at G20 meeting in Germany

    "I'm a barbie girl in a G20 world, it's fantastic, my head is made of plastic..."

    My real first name is Erik.

    That said, the infrastructure of Ramstein Airbase will be interesting. Wonder what they use the airfield here. Propably becomes a civilian airport or part of the Luftwaffe.

    It really sucks for the soldiers. They have to leave their nice and comfi German Barracks and probably end up in Poland, at the border to Russia, the ars of the world.
    That must suck.

    To be fair he's trying to get the Germans to pay their fair share. Maybe send them to Poland instead?

    Well, Erik, it you want to be completely correct, then you would state that in Germany Erik is actually written as Erich.
    Erich Krannitz for instance,
    who was a German POW in the USA during WWII and wrote the book "Let the Chips Fall".
    OR is it possible the newer generations now write now "Erik" instead of "Erich"?

    Oh my, yes, that will likely happen! Poor suckers. Now I feel sorry for them. Anyhow, it is still better than going home and join the unemployed, homeless and depressed.

    Or might having to shoot Americans, before they join the 40 million unemployed.
    So Poland does not sound that bad. But it sucks compared to Germany.

    Or they might go AWOL, if they are smart and disappear in Scandinavia and Canada. Remember, during the Vietnam war thousands fled to Canada! Unfortunately, now they probably have all been chipped and can be located anywhere on the globe.

    According to Max Hastings more Canadians volunteered for Vietnam than draft dodgers went to Canada. Only Yossarian made it to Sweden.

    LOL Hell I only spent two weeks in Germany. I ate a lot of things I couldn't read or pronounce. But that was what I liked best and ordered and ate it about every other day. I was in Spangdahlem and we used that for a home base to see the Eastern part and then spent a week in Garmisch - Partenkirchen. Climbed the Zugspize.

    Ich liebe den deftigen Humor der Deutschen! I love the German humor! It hits the nail too often straight on the head!!
    But... isn't your Ms. Merkel herself in trouble with the German voters? On a German Forum I read a lot of dissatisfaction and blunt insults about her. It seems they can't get rid of her fast enough. Yet, she always manages to stay another term in office.

    What other motivation would there be? Not sure there was much motivation to help the Germans or Italians for that matter. Weren't about to hand over all of Germany to Russia.
