    How did you pay for it?

    Just by having a defense budget ?

    How much does the US actually pay for Nato.

    Reminder, the US is the only country which invoked Article 5 of NATO.
    Its NATO partners did not hesitate and helped, with blood, soldiers, equipment and billions in cost.

    What the White House Clown did, infront of the Monument of 911, at the NATO Headquarters, was a disgrace of the NATO soldiers who died, got injured, crippled for live and their families suffering.
    He still continues doing so. I am a NATO/German former soldier and he insulted me, too.

    I consider that state of affairs as very sad. We should be friends, allies and respect each other and recognize the blood we have shed, together and honor it, with the greatest respect.

    Mr. Robert E Allen.

    Do you know what the Monument, made of WTT parts, in the Headquarter of NATO stand for ?

    Despite what some Germans think, we still ARE friends and allies.
    We just happened to have a weird president. He breaks all norms. His election was directed at our internal dirty politics, not someone outside.
    Trump is American Caligula - he will probably get the second term, but his powers are limited and his bark is worse than his bite. His biggest threat is his publicity.
    Anyone with sober head in Europe should be able to easily recognize this.

    Are you kidding me? Germany is Nr. 1 in Europe. Followed by France. Uk is Nr. 3. German economy is almost that of France and UK combined.

    You paid for nothing. We have our own defense budget.

    In the last 70 years only country calling for help was yours after 911 and we stood by your side.

    Your country has no honor nor dignity.

    No, you are just ignorant.
    I was born in USSR and it was common knowledge that western Germany was not conquered because of Americans being there.
    If it wasn’t for the USA the USSR would not stop in Germany.

    But, hey, don’t let me rain on your America hating parade.
    By the way, have you seen soviet military plans involving nuclear bombing of Western Europe? I bet you have no clue what I’m talking about!

    You do have strong economy, but from military perspective you are probably weaker than Belarus.
    Dude, most of your planes don’t fly. Just accept the reality!

    And why would they ? Germans are not stupid - The realize that the advent of nukes changed the game - so there is no point in having a really big military - because nuclear superpowers do not attack each other - and if they do - wasting a bunch of money on conventional hardware is not going to help you.

    The strongest piece on the board is no longer military - it is economic.

    While we have been wasting Trillions on a massive conventional military - and Trillions more on useless wars .. the other nations of the world have been ramping up their economies to compete in the third millennium - doing the bare minimum with respect to military.

    That's because NATO is run similar to the Mafia and the U.S. is the boss.
    That's all good. NATO should be dismantled. It is a war-mongering machine with the button of destruction in Washington. NATO member "soldiers who died, got injured, crippled for life" are cannon fodder and the NATO Mafia in the U.S. does not care about your (or anyone else's) suffering. "Disgracing" NATO is necessary in order to dissolve NATO. The sooner the better.
    Yes, you should. Washington should stop sending your boys into dirty and illegal wars. How many NATO soldiers were duped into dying in Irak and Afghanistan, etc? Think about THAT who sent your soldiers to die instead of crying about than being "insulted". It is you who is insulting them ... right now with your words.

    Look into a mirror.
    So what? My wife was born in ČS and it is a fact that the Soviets liberated her country at a cost to many lives of the CCCP. There is a monument in the centre of her town with the names of those young 18-year-old Sovjet boys who died there.
    If it wasn't for the USSR the Americans would never have landed in Normandy. And by the way, the Sovjet Union invited the U.S. and the UK and France to occupy Western Berlin. IT WAS A GIFT by the CCCP. I lived in Berlin during the Cold War. It was liberated by Sovjet soldiers ..... not Americans.
    To tell the truth is "to hate"? You poor fellow.

    Have you seen Americans plans called "Operation Northwoods"? What about the Tuskeegee Experiment"? "Operation TP Ajax"? The "Death Squads" in Irak? Have you ever heard of the torture Abu Graib? How about torture at Guantanamo? Did you ever hear about the WMD hoax in Irak? What about "Operation MK ULTRA"? Have you ever heard of the false attack in the Gulf of Tonkin? How about the illegal invasion of Cambodia? Laos? I bet you have no clue what I’m talking about!

    "The Sky is Falling .. Russia is Coming" "Duck and Cover"

    Of course Russia has plans for bombing Western Europe - and the US as well. That's what military planners do .. they plan for war - both ours and theirs.

    Do you not think we have plans involving nuclear war with Russia ?

    From the 1950s to the late 1980s. Our presence in Europe kept the Soviets from enslaving you all. Trillions of dollars worth and millions of men away from their families. The wealth of our nation given to you. With the ingratitude you display , it was all a waste.

    I am sorry to interrupt your chest beating. The US and its allied partners were not in West Germany to defend West Germany. They were there as part of a strategy to stop the Soviet Union, which had become after the war the enemy. It was part of a world wide strategy.
    I am West German and I very much appreciate and am grateful, that this allowed me to grow up and live in freedom. But those were occupational forces, with special rights and powers and that was well understood in West Germany.

    "Protecting security". Is that what they told you the Americans are doing there? :alcoholic: And whose "security" are they supposed to be "protecting"? :laughing:

    You know that the uranium in Chernobyl came from my state? The east german Wismut combinat mined the Uranium near Ronneburg. It was flawed though since it was not refined to high percentage. It even contained traces of Plutonium. Erich Mielke knew it but thought the risk is ok. They did not tell the soviets.

    The russkies noted something was ****ed up when they took block 4 online. Reactor 4 went unstable when operating on low power.

    All went good for few years until Dyatlov made that security test and put the reactor into critical levels. Then it went out of control. The botched nuclear fuel went critical and combined with the RBMK design flaws blew the entire thing up.

    Gorbachew once said that Chernobyl was the final nail in the USSR coffin. The starting point of collapse.

    I´m proud that the very core of that collapse came from my state.

    This wasn’t the cause of the meltdown, but whatever.

    So, you think Germany took down the USSR?

    Please, may I correct, not Germany.
    It was this failed entity, Soviet colony, which was to have done that.
    Like the revenge of the nerds.
    Truly funny and he is proud of it.
    Oh boy.

    It’s just his attempt to get at me because I’m originally from Ukraine. He doesn’t like it when lowly Ukrainians openly contradict his vision of all powerful Germany.
    The argument is beyond childish. I hope he will grow out of it.
