Germany preparing to build Europe’s strongest army

Germany reflexively marches on Paris.

 

Yeah, this has gone well in the Past. Thanks, Donald.

 

Rest easy, folks. They’ll never get through the Maginot line.

 

They're going to have trouble keeping up with Poland. Everybody's figured out they can't rely on the US anymore.

I know one side of the political divide doesn't care, but that used to be a near absolute-trust relationship that was more than half a century in the making that Donnie just threw out like trash.

 

Germans hate Poles more than they hate the French. Germany will be more likely to ally with Russia to repeat the combined invasion than sit and watch Poland become ascendent.

 

I'm down for it. And I'm French. But honestly, the time for some European conquest is well over. For one, Europe is too small potatoes. Even if Germany conquered all of Europe, they'd still be a secondary player against US, China, and Russia, with India also coming on. So the prize of world hegemony isn't there anymore. For two, and maybe because world hegemony isn't on the table anymore, the animosity and competitiveness just isn't there. There is some political friction, but the French, Germans, Italians, Poles, etc all basically get along. They can all collectively discriminate against the North Africans and look down on the Americans instead.

 

What year do you think this is? Germans don't 'hate' Poland. Germans definitely think they're better than everyone else but if it comes to WWIII, Europe will be united in politics and common enemy, outside of the UK and possibly some smaller Baltic states/Turkey. There's no way in hell they would ally with Russia.

Get your head out of WWII geopolitical dynamics.

See above. There won't be any conquering of Europe. Most if not all of Europe would come together in the face of a threat. They've all been in NATO for too long. The GDP of Europe is around 28 trillion. That's just under the USA's 30 trillion. Germany itself is 3rd in GDP.

Thinking that Russia is a superpower is a ****ing joke; if you need proof just look at the war in Ukraine. The only thing they have is nukes, and NATO has nukes.

At any rate, the current US military dwarfs most combined militaries. It would take all of the world vs the USA for the USA to lose. And that would be due to Trump ****ing up the military and if the world militaries could efficiently cooperate, which I doubt would happen.

 

One of the rationales for the post-WWII order was to prevent this very thing.

We are in the process of re-learning some very painful lessons (on many fronts, both foreign and domestic).

 

Thank you Donald and all of the "america first" idiots.

I do think that Europe needs to build military infrastructure to not have to rely on the US, BUT that's only because Donald Trump and the pro Putin wing of America (even those on the far left) have made the US unreliable to begin with. This is only a thing now because of your ignorance.

This reminds me of the late great Norm:

 

This is GOOD. Less investment by America in Europe. Germany can handle security guarantees for countries like Ukraine -- where Biden squandered $200 BILLION of taxpayer money. This is a classic example of putting America First -- and putting the American taxpayer and soldier first.



GOOD DAY

 

Germany is putting America first? That doesn't seem quite appropriate.

 

Not to worry. Trump is incapable of learning anything.
