    From the first day on Bunker Boy tried to bully Merkel and every time he got a spanking. Now he got a other spanking with the G7 and a phone call to top it off.
    At home he failed terribly with the c19 response and now has to deal with the demonstrations and the DoD is dismantling his military response, even in DC.
    So now he does what he always does lashes out, throwing a fit like a little child.

    He just should have given his bunker an other inspection.

    Trump is an idiot. We all agree on that.

    Why you insult me? Im not bavarian. This has zero connection to Germany in general or Thuringia. Its a thing in a super small part of Bavaria. Its like saying the Amish are Central Part of American Common culture

    It is a piece of hammered down veal cutlet covered with a creamy mushroom sauce. Hmmm.

    I have many pictures of the aftermath of WW II. The bombed out cities of Cologne and Berlin. You do know about the Marshall Plan?

    1. The Marshall Plan was an American initiative passed in 1948 for foreign aid to Western Europe. The United States transferred over $12 billion in economic recovery programs to Western European economies after the end of World War II. Replacing an earlier proposal for a Morgenthau Plan, it operated for four years beginning on April 3, 1948. The goals of the United States were to rebuild war-torn regions, remove trade barriers, modernize industry, improve European prosperity, and prevent the spread of Communism. The Marshall Plan required a reduction of interstate barriers, a dropping of many regulations, and encouraged an increase in productivity, as well as the adoption of modern business procedures.

    I don't care if you're a klingon. Still irrelevant.

    Aren't you that kid from New Jersey that used to post here? He claimed repeatedly to be from a small town along the old East German border with West Germany. Even posted pictures of the town. He was always claiming German credit for just about every achievement known to man. From aspirin (Bayer) to Americans putting man on the moon (Von Braun).

    We need to keep the giant military hospital at the air base there.. One of my neighbors was evacuated to it and received the first medical care after he lost both legs to a grenade attack in Baghdad.

    good for Germany, very good news if true. Now we need the same here in the UK. Its about time trump built his wall - just extend it around all the borders so the US can all live in peace and bliss and leave the rest of us the F alone :)

    What you keep is our decission, not yours. Germany wants your troops out completly.

    Now that trump started it we rethink the entire thing. As Bartsch said, best option is to remove the american forces completly. This includes any hospital and air base.

    Germany does not intend to be a base for unlawful attacks against other nations like Iraq for any longer.

    We actually thank trump to bring this up. What matters now is that the total eviction of american troops is done swift.

    Here is a great article in German Focus magazine:

    "Trumps planned troop removal from Germany - another shot in its own foot from team Trump"

    https://www.focus.de/politik/auslan...urkutsche-fuer-merkel-absage_id_12073129.html

    Intended as punishment for Merkels decission to snub Trumps G7 proposal,

    Juliane Smith from German Marshal fund says:

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Another own goal from the Trump team. They somehow thinks it hurts Merkel whom they want to punish for her “no” on the G7. In truth, this move hurts US interests and does more harm to a critical relationship. <a href="https://t.co/wDrL6tPIMU">https://t.co/wDrL6tPIMU</a></p>&mdash; Julianne Smith (@Julie_C_Smith) <a href="https://twitter.com/Julie_C_Smith/status/1268956302887325698?ref_src=twsrc^tfw">June 5, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

    In Germany the reception is great. We plan much more now. A complete removal of the american presence is now a possibility. From far right to far left, thats the wish of the entire political spectrum.

    Who cares. Germany is a member of NATO. The U.S. is the leader of NATO. Get over it.

    Bother spending more on your military and perhaps we'll care what you think.

    NATO is dead. NATO has no leader.

    Your petty orange goon cares alot what we think. He constantly throws tantrums over Germany. He might get a stroke because of us.

    As 2nd most powerful western Nation, Germany holds the power to make USA under trump a laughing stock. So far Germany is the main reason why almost all of trumps foreign goals collapsed.

    Iran is not willing to make a new deal with trump, because GErmany supports its trade and buys oil and gas. Germany pushs for the Nordstream II pipeline and its almost completed. Germany
    snubbed trumps proposals and demands completly and goes 100% on confrontation. Other nations like France and South Korea see this and see that trump is too weak to bring a former allie in line.

    There are already plans up now what we will do with the Ramstein Airbase.

    Two options are on the table, make it a civilian airport or incorporate it in our own airforce.

    There is some nice infrastructure we can put to use.

    Its a start.

    If Merkel declining to visit trump makes him cut american troops by 1/3, imagine what she can achieve by openly calling am a orange goon or ask him why a "handbag seller" is preent at a state meeting, when Ivanka shows up again.

    Yep. You're the American kid pretending to be from Germany that was around here a few months ago. You sentence structure and choice of words is for all intents and purposes identical.

    Try something else son.

    I know you're not a Bavarian, but I wanted to have some laughs. Where is your sense of humor? Stop taking everything so seriously.

    Tell you what, how about throwing some stupidities back at us like this for instance:



    Go for it cowboy!

    Yes, I agree to "total lack of knowledge" when it comes to WWII history due to brainwashing for more than 3/4 of a century!
