    All things considered Germany ended up pretty well though. When you count Switzerland and Austria as German nations their total land and population in the heart of Europe is still very impressive.

    The claim you supported, I have no idea how big the country is, because I am German,
    European.
    It turns out you have no boom either, but a lot of blabla, at times.
    I live in Colorado and have seen more of this country, than you, even if you get 100 years old and just spent time travelling it..
    You made a fool out of yourself, like the Dear Lady.

    Such a mature response!
    Why don’t you share with others about your own world travels and why everyone here has no idea how large this planet is.
    So far you look like an immature kid who attempts to make a point when in reality he does not have one.

    I said most Europeans don’t appreciate the size of this country.
    Why are you taking things personal?
    Are you disputing the fact that the US is many times bigger than any European country?

    To give you a rather good comparison. You can fit Europe into the Plains.
    Germany is the size of Colorado.
    36 years ago I bought 2 horses, on Long Island and 363 days later we reached the Pacific, Los Angeles.
    Just before the Olympics.
    I was able tp watch Ol Toddies epic ride. Not that you would know what I am talking about.
    3 month later I saddled up again, at a ranch of some friends in New Mexico, headed down to Nogales and than straight up the Continental Divide and called it quit, when we got to the Canadian border in Glacier Park.

    If you do the US at 25 to 30 miles a day, you get a rather good impression of the size.

    Do folks in the US ever wonder why towns in the West, are a horse back ride away, 25 to 30 miles.
    I do not think so, they are hardly able to place Europe on the right continent, if they even know what Europe is.

    I got part of what you posted but only part. The bolded part. I'm not certain what the rest means.

    My dear friend, I just did.
    After my little extravagance. I built a tourism business and travelled the US, with my customers, 200,000miles.
    Just on horseback.
    In between I ran a trucking business, hauling rather expensive horses, dressage, jumping and 3 day Eventing, all over the US. I am very much aware that you have no idea what I am talking about, but I put over 2 million miles on that skinny butt I have.

    Good for you.
    But that does not change the fact that most of the Europeans don’t appreciate the size of the US.

    It is quiet simple, I bought two horses on Long Island. Saddle up and rode them to Los Angeles.
    NY to LA.
    What is so difficult to understand.
    And than WE, my horse and me did the South to North along the Continental Divide.

    What is so hard to understand about it ?

    It is about you, you assumed, because of blabla boom, that I have no idea how huge the US is.

    I know how huge it is, better than you, or probably, than everybody on the forum, 25 miles a day is a real lesson, don't you think.
    You turn around at evening camp, hard day, pushing against the westerly wind and you still can see were you started, that morning.
    Never again tell me I do understand how huge this country is, just because I am European.

    By the way, what route did you use to get from NY to LA on a horseback? I’d imagine, it wasn’t highways.

    I do, don't you thinks so.

    May I ask, how much you know of your homeland and how you discovered it.

    Okaaaay, you win, we found one European who rode across the country on the horseback.
    Now, please, tell me, what route did you take? I bet it wasn’t highway 94!

    Not really.
    There is a lot of people who rode across the country. It happens every year. Nothing special about it.
    But what made it special, I had no support team. Just me and my horses. What made it even more special was the people I met along the road, they made it possible.
    By the way, since I have the feeling we are still in this stupid penis contest, no body ever and nobody since than, has accomplished the East-West and South-North with the same horses, besides in consecutive years.
    As a horse man I am rather proud, that I was able to conserve my horse, so they were able to accomplish this feat.
    I found out years later, that this had never been done before, big deal.

    NY, VA, West VA, TN , KN, AK, TX, NM, AZ, UT, NV, CA.
    AZ, NM, CO, UT, WY, MT, Canda.
    It was highway in the East. But from Texas on till CA, it was not highway, rather rough.
    South to North was Desert and Mountains, rather minimizing, I call it

    Because its **** now. I believe nationalism must always be rational. Today its extremly poor, rotten down and without rescources. It would cost billions to restore it on german level. Russia offered it Kohl in the 90th. Kohl rejected it for good reason.

    Incest might be ok in USA but is considered one of the worst taboos in german culture. Dont project your own ideas on others.

    Its common knowledge here that incest is normal in alabama, kansas ect.

    Only idiots talk about Trump russia collusion in the vein of trump being at the beck and call of Putin.

    1. Strong armed Germany on the pipeline.
    2. pulled out of the nuclear treaty
    3. Put Russia on alert in Syria, by bombing bases staffed with russian advisors.
