    Forget about the crazy motherf...er Donald. He is not America.

    America freed you from Nazism and brought you liberty and democracy. Be thankful for that, bro. :)

    The U.S. isn't "hostile" to Germany. You have nothing we want. And before you go there, the U.S. is a lot more than President Trump (who won't be around in little more than 5 years).

    Why are you claiming the U.S. "begged" Germany to erect a statue of President Reagan?

    especially when it's a statue to memorialize asking another country to tear down a wall, when one of the things Trump most wants to do is... build a wall

    You do know that there is a complete difference between a wall to keep your own citizens captive (Berlin Wall) and a wall to enforce your border against non citizens (U.S. border wall).

    Let's not forget America also buried millions off German children under heaps of wreckage. Are they supposed to be thankful for that? Would you be if it was your children?

    Do you have a source for the United States killing "millions" of German children?

    Your ambassador begged for it. He wrote over 12 letters to various city officials and even to the chancellor, who denied even to answer him. It was seen as pathetic and he then let the statue produce before he got the no and now is forced to place it on the embassy terrace.

    Do you understand how this behavior is not in your countries favor?

    Surprising about the number of leftists who don't know that. There was a leftist, an American, who defected to Russia and became a star of sorts for a short while, who claimed the Berlin Wall was built to keep people out. Perhaps the poster was influenced by this guy,

    War is always cruel. Bombing of German cities had the military goal to end WW2 much soon.

    Germans wanted "Total War", so they got what they asked for.
    They better should blame Hitler and his gangsters for what happened to them.

    USA is hostile to USA. You threaten to sanction german companies for building our Nordstream II pipeline. Even some of your own diplomats say thats an outragious idiotic and hostile behavior.

    Its weird though. All experts say that when the US-German alliance breaks, it means end for US world power status. Its Putins greatest wish. With a German-Russian alliance evrything would change. German tech and economic power combined with russian rescources.

    Trump is your president. The way he treats Germany is damaging your country.

    A good example was the F-35 issue. Experts say Germany would have chosen the F-35 as interim solution, which would have been the biggest military contract in decades. Germany decided against it because Trump.

    Relations between our nations are broken down and that will be the status quo after Trump. This cant be improved, because what is created now will be the enw reality. Im have no doubts our countries will establish working relationship but you cant repair an alliance that is at the point where this is now.

    My mistake, I should have said ten or hundreds of thousands. My source comes from an article by a Greek women, who said she was the only one who could translate at the Nurenburg trials. She said they were held over the bodies of 20 thousand people, and the reason the trials were held in Nurenburg, was because it was the only building left in Germany. Was she right? I believe so! Were there civilians and children under the rubbish? I think so!

    A lot of our behavior is not in our favor. Believe me, what you said is the least of it.

    War is busting out all over,

    from China to the Middle Sea.
    It's here and there, and everywhere
    as we shall shortly see.

    Now chaos is my middle name,

    which I am proud to say,
    and for the ones not in the know
    it's called the American way.. Jeannette

    Each culture has their own way of testing their manhood, whether its through sports, capturing a lion, diving off a steep cliff, etc. In Germany it's which transmission you have in your vehicle.

    That's not a refutation, that's an excuse. If Germany was a US State it would be the 7th poorest. If the EU were a US state it would be THE poorest.

    That was inevitable. The Germans should be shown what Hitler did to them, to turn away from him.

    Hitler made the Germans obedient. They needed a shock therapy to wake up.

    Two people are to blame for it. General Sherman with his infamous march through Georgia in the Civil War. He wanted to bring the war to the people, something that had been abolished by the civilized world, and Winston Churchill. He started bombing civilians areas in Germany to get the Germans to do likewise, that way they would stop bombing the factories and give them a chance to rebuild their arms.

    Churchill said his biggest dilemma in the war was whether he should warn the people in Canterbury that they were going to be bombed, and by doing so make the Germans aware they had broken their code. He decided not to and the rest is history. The same thing happened with the Italians in Cephalonia after they surrendered. The British knew they were going to kill the 10 thousand Italian soldiers on the island, but didn't warn them so they wouldn't know they had broken the code.

    I recall the demonstrations against Reagan. The Germans saw him as a war monger, and they were going to be in the front lines. There were protests in the US as well against the arms build up, and this is what shocked Putin. He realized the indifference today had to do with the media, and the way they were projecting things and not letting the people know the seriousness of what Washington was doing.

    Well I'm a woman, and I remember the good old days driving through Manhattan in our white convertible Ford and using hand signals, stepping on the clutch and shifting gears. I loved it! It kept me awake.

    No refutiation. Living standards in Germany are higher in Germany.

    Free healthcare on highest level, free education. Your academics are stuck in student loans ect.

    You have a small group of super rich and many very poor.

    For example you have a level of poverty that is unknown here.
