    No state visit to Germany? Interesting.

    But, in Trump's Defense:

    He has been too busy building that Wall (that Mexico paid for) and winning the Nobel Prize for ending the Korean War and Denuclearizing the peninsula.

    Explain the Soviet Union from the 1960s to 80s then?

    A fine example of why you must have a stronger economy. The USSR collapsed under the weight of overspending on military while having a weaker economy.

    I knew you'd try to use that rather ineffectual argument.

    Yet they were a major global military power for DECADES. Which seems to clearly refute the idea that a strong economy is required for a strong military.

    One year...you do know nuclear bombs are primitive?

    What exactly would take Germany, a nation that builds nuclear reactors, batteries and lands spacecrafts on comets a year to take a 9kg sample of our several hundred ton Plutonium stockpile, put TNT around it, a Cobalt sphere around it and maybe even add Tritium to make it a hydrogen bomb?

    Do you honestly believe a nation like Germany or Japan would need a year to build some primitive weapon like a nuclear bomb?

    It would take a few hours in case of emergency to have one ready.

    Maybe months to make a whole arsenal.

    Decades is a very short time when one considers the entirety of human history.

    You'd understand that if you truly grasped the study of history. History is the study of how and why things happen, not just a series of dates to memorize.

    Do you really want him to come? The quickest way to get him to do something is to call him a chicken.

    We could do an experiment.

    Merkel could hold a military parade in Berlin and then summon President Chickenheart. Maybe use the official papr from the prussian ministry that expelled Trumps grandfather from Germany back then...because cowardice. Project the verdict in the sky like when they call Batman.

    Germany are just a country in the EU, it's not like they can negotiate their own trade deals.
    Why would Trump or any world leader give a state visit to a non country like Germany?

    Producing babies is an old well established technique yet you can't produce one in one month by putting nine women on the job.

    I would hope you actually knew that the engineering and science behind a nuclear weapons differs vastly from a nuclear power plant.

    You can’t make something brand new in just a few hours. I bet you wouldn’t even be able to make scissors from scratch in a few hours.

    You’d need a plant, retool it, separate safe area for handling highly radioactive materials (cuz you do want to workers to survive long enough to finish building the bomb and pass down learned skills to someone else), then you are forgetting about important components - who’s designing and building semiconductors processors and circuit boards? How about bomb casing? Do you want to mount it on a missile? If so then you need casing with appropriate form factor and you need to worry about miniaturization.

    Good luck building it in a few hours! It’s will take months to get all of that going.

    tRump comes from German ancestry on his father's side and you don't know how lucky you are not to have him visit. You should be thanking your lucky stars.

    Germany and the EU have delusions of grandeur.
    The last person to state visit Germany was the China in 2017, and before that, was UK with the Queen in 2015.

    This is the most powerful country in the EU ladies and gentlemen.

    EU is nothing, a third world lead by Germany.

    So you claim the whole world besides the US and maybe China is third world? I don't think so.

    Of course we have our share of white nationalists and fascists who would love to have a racist lying POS like trump as leader. Course they are brave on the internet, but they don't seem to have as much success marching down the streets or being blatant racist swine as their american brothers in arms do.

    Very few Donald Trump supporters are racists.

    I never said that, I said EU was, not Australia, Canada, USA or UK, Scandinavia, UAE, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan etc....
    You think the EU isn't a backward mud hole?
    Why, because it's Europe?
    That's stupid.

    If EU wasn't backward, why are they so racist and superstitious?
    Do you know how they celebrare Christmas in the NL?
    Do you know how they treat women and minorities in France?
    Do you know the list of things you're not allowed to do and need a license to do in Germany?
    Do you know how dull Belgium is? - They bet on a cow defecating in a field that has lines on like a grid, pick a square on a grid and bet on it and if the cow does a number 2 (not a number 1) on the square you bet on, you win in a game they call '**** yourself rich'.
    If EU wasn't third world, why are they so poor and corrupt?
    • no democracy
    • shady/shifty/dodgy economy
    Don't even get me started on East Europe where they beat gays and believe in vampires or Iberia where they ignore democracy and need bail outs like Ireland and Greece too.

    What I'm saying is fact, don't confuse Europe with civilization, it's backwards, and it's a mud hole.

    It was the UK who paid for these countries to get in line with the EU and the Euro, these poor bastards didn't have any currencies worth having before City of :London in UK propped them up in the 90's.

    Not only should you get out of your bubble, you should lay off the booze.

    PS. The only ones marching down the streets are the Leftist brown shirts wearing all black, the antifa domestic terrorists who the Democrats support.
