    Lol. The UK is led by a PM with the intellectual capacity of a prickle. Almost all great banks leave London and settle in Frankfurt. Germany is the far bigger and more important economic power than UK and that attracts economy.

    We play our cards well and win. Meanwhile your PM erodes so much that she looks like an alcoholic.

    You really believe this BS presented to you by Trump? ROFL
    Amerca does not pick up anything for anyone and this is the proofed fact which is left over when putting all thei BS blabbering off!

    Lol ... which Army please? You know what is left of USAEUR in my country since 1991? Wake up and face the real truth,. because in my country is left:

    - 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment
    - several staffs and HQ's with personal
    - medical center
    - Air bases (particularly Ramstein)
    - logistic center

    In total 35,000 soldiers ... so what Army again please?

    Next BS fake ...
    America spends a bunch of USD for own interests in the world which have nothing to do with NATO as for example the bases in North Korea and Japan, or are both suddenly part of NATO, eh?
    80% of US military costs has at best in minor and on 2nd place something to do with NATO if having to do with NATO at all, but with pure own interest in the world!
    So yes, stop to support the Army of Iraq with sponsored M1A1 tanks, Humvees and whatever else and you can reduce your costs!
    But the US is not giving 1 Cent more in NATO because majority does not fulfill their 2% and anyone who claims this is lying!

    Their is a difference of giving respect and playing the puppet and latter Europe is not and particularly wants Europe to have respect from Washington too, a word what is for this Trainee in White House a foreign word in relationship with others!

    I believed it long before I heard him say it.

    I'm from one of those countries that keeps it end up in NATO. We all know who does and who doesn't.
    It's not just America that is annoyed about it. And it didn't start with Trump. This has been going on for so many decades now that it has become impossible not to notice.

    35,000 is a serious Army. Plus it is backed up by a whole lot more. A whole lot more.
    I doubt Germany could field 35,000. Just to put things in perspective. Let alone support them in a foreign land.

    Yes, the US has commitments to other international alliances, and guess what, they have the same kind of problems with those alliances.
    The key here is to get rid of the alliance members that don't pull their weight.
    Military alliances are very dangerous things to be in. They get you sucked into other peoples wars. So if your allies aren't taking it seriously enough, downgrade that alliance.
    Empty words don't count for much when so many lives are at stake.

    Europe doesn't look like it wants respect from Washington. Europe looks like it wants a war with Washington.
    Because it does. Because ultimately for most EU people, that's the whole point of the EU. To **** America.

    No one is stupid mate. To ally with us you have to pull your weight.

    But you don't want to ally with us, you want to be our enemies. To be our rivals and throw your weight around so that we do as you say.
    The respect you want from America you will only earn in battle. With America. That is the only way you can get that respect you seek.
    That is your goal and hence that is your ultimate destination. Where your story ends.

    My honest suggestion, choose another path. Find other things to be respected for than this. .

    All German banks are registered in London. Your banks left Germany for here. Frankfurt wasn't enough for them. They couldn't get enough money from German savers.
    Our banks are registered not just here and in EU, but everywhere else too. They are global businesses. We very much look forward to buying some of your banks in Germany during your next currency collapse.

    I am happy for you in your economic self importance. All you need to remember is, we are the ones that are going to take it all away from you if you misbehave.
    You have a big economy, but size is not to be confused with power.
    A cow is bigger than a tiger.

    A Mondeo is bigger than a 911.

    And a single tiny bullet... that is power.

    It's not how much you have that matters, it's what you can do with it.
    What you can do with your economic power is get on well with everyone or lose it.
    What we can do with our economic power is get on well with everyone and also, not bother getting on well with people we don't like.

    German banks can't even process Euro payments. Don't even have the infrastructure for passporting. You pick these big fights with your mouth but you have nothing to back them up with. It is impotence.


    It takes just a tiny force when applied to a fulcrum. We have that force and we control access to those fulcrums.
    Germanys access to the global market, depends on our approval of it. You can be just a regional economic power, or you can be a global one. You decide which you prefer.
    If you elect to be a global trader, you will need access to our trade routes and our markets.
    Stick your fingers up at America and they will cut you out tomorrow.

    As for the rest of your bullshit, whats your problem? Your government is idiotic. We play our cards well.

    And you? You got a retarded government that acts against your will and plays our cards. I think May stands on our pay roll.

    On a sidenote...the UK produces nothing and is virtually a dead country anyways.

    oh and btw Germany and France agree, that you are nobodies. Well aside the Scottish. Those are true people.

    Rofl.
    ha ha.

    Ah the voice of sore losers.

    Goodbye.

    We told our government what to do and it's been done.

    You tried to scare us with your empty threats, but it is you who is feeling threatened not us.
    We are laughing while you scream and stamp your feet with impotent rage.

    You've been paying Mrs May?
    Wasted your money there mate.

    Farage leads the country in EU affairs.
    We elected him to deal with the EU not her.

    And he has.

    The UK produces everything that Germany does and much more.
    Nothing you make we need.

    I did like your giant tunnelling machines BTW. Very good.

    Same goes for France. Their trade is surplus to our needs and their fishing ships have just been kicked out of our waters. As have yours). EU withdrawl has begun in earnest today.
    Sayonara France.
    Cry those salty tears into your froglegs soup.

    I shall be laughing over my Cod and chips. You famine merchants.

    Looks like a Falco gig.


    I really like German architecture. Not so much the castles and palaces, but the houses. The colours. Like gingerbread houses in Hansel and Gretal. Very charming.
