    They werent leeched because leech is a parasite and America whooped Germany in WW2. They were spoils of war and ever since then America has led the majority of technology. America isnt leeching anything that's china now in the last 20 years.

    Ich bin erstaunt! Now, would you in the FDP be willing to participate in a coalition with the CDU headed by Friedrich Merz? Your FDP party is described thus, "The party is traditionally considered center-right. Since the 1980s, the party has firmly pushed economic liberalism and has aligned itself closely to the promotion of free markets and privatization."

    Maybe, just maybe, there is hope after all...(?)

    Mostly because the 3rd reich was heavily focused on shows of power over practicality. Their railroad gun was just a huge clunky target for allied bombers

    I see Merz' name mentioned as coming back into contention for the CDU leadership, now that AKK is stepping away. But, I do not know whether Friedrich Merz has the power or even the desire to come back into the 'arena' any longer. He is 78 years old, and that's OLD. In Germany, you make your Federal Judges retire at age 70, and that is probably a good thing!

    Is the CDU going to remain the ruling party in a successful German coalition government? If not Merz, is someone like Jens Spahn as possible leader? He will be 40 years old in May.... Is there someone else that should be considered?

    This is not a 2 dimensional affair, never forget the CSU, sister Party.
    Stoeber has made some inroads and I think has made a pact with Merkel He is rather interesting and has made huge changes to his parties platform, the new King of Bavaria. Bavaria is one of Germanies power houses. The last guy challenged Merkel and got his legs cut of him, the Merkel way, one cut at a time.
    Absolute masterfull. He was going all balls out to challenge her, she just quietly, behind closed doors, cut him up.

    Merz candidated against AKA and lost. He has a good base. Spahn is interesting and as a cabinet member has the support of M.
    Could be.
    But does he have the caliber of M, no. Can he grow, maybe.

    The thing is, every Kanzler of the CDU has been a low profile person, even the giants, like Adenauer, Erhard, Kohl and Merkel.

    The next government will probably be CDU/Gruen and maybe FDP

    But do not forget the guy in Bavaria

    All the US and UK had to do was stand aside while Germany confronted the Bolshevik cancer in Russia. Instead, the US and UK rushed in to save Bolshevism because the UK was insanely jealous of Germany's rising status. And what was it all for? Absolutely nothing. Poland was conquered and occupied for decades. And Germany eventually rose to the top of Europe anyway.

    The US and UK systematically targeted civilians during WWII as a matter of government policy. They deliberately murdered hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of innocent civilians.

    Same with Americans and Brits. They fire bombed and nuked civilians by the tens of thousands on a regular basis during WWII.

    What's wrong with Germans being proud of their technological achievements? Why do dumb Americans feel the need to scoff at German accomplishments? What are you all so afraid of? Germany is our friend. We should look at their achievements favorably. A strong Germany is good for America, and vice versa. Only morons think America and Germany shouldn't be close friends and partners.

    Uh, no. The Roman empire lasted for about 400 years. Rome became an empire in the 1st century AD when Augustus became emperor. And it fell in the 4th century AD when "barbarians" sacked and occupied Rome. Before Augustus, Rome was a republic.

    At any rate, the Roman empire only lasted as long as it did because it was engaged in an almost nonstop campaign of rape, pillage, and murder. That's how all empires sustain themselves, by conquest, thieving, and murder. And the US empire is fundamentally no different, which is why it will collapse after a long period of moral, intellectual, and economic decay.

    If your joke wasn't in support of the anti-German sentiment running through this thread, then I apologize for misunderstanding.

    It was a playful jab aimed at an arrogant forum member. Germany is a great country and is respected for their engineering. Unfortunately, many here in the US drive German cars and haven't figured out how to use the turn signals! :)

    Well, I certainly respect Germany. I'm glad you do too. Because there is very little evidence that Germany is respected by most of the people posting in this thread. It is pretty upsetting to me to see such a good country be so disrespected based on the behavior of one German guy at the forum.

    No, but I think they invented the Anglo-Saxons, who gave Americans their culture...

    The problem is, nobody should boast about his country, except the folks of the US Gods own Country.
    Sobo was a easy target, but it does nor change the fact, that folks from the US, need that penis extension of we are the greatest, the chosen one, the exaptational and what ever.
    Oh well, gas well, water well...………………………………………..

    Death of civilians never was a military goal during allied efforts in fighting Nazis and friends. Do you know otherwise?

    Destruction of residential areas should make the population weary of war and upset against their leaders.
