It is always nice to have your own facts. Too bad your facts and Time Magazine's are totally different. I'll accept Time's version. They have credibility, while you don't.
Not even close. Both the French and the Soviets had you beat, and even the Brits by some measures. The French bungled... everything, the Brits were terrified of another war, and the Soviets were a bureaucratic nightmare. Germany was a lost cause before WW1 even happened. You turned critical allies into enemies at every possible turn. That's the problem bud, a tiny minority of Muslims are enough to demolish your political system.
Germany was a lost cause before WW I happened? Yo, i mean beside having an economy almost bigger than France and UK combined, the absolute leadership in science and technology. Beside tgat, lost cause. Dude you talk some ****. As for the 6% muslims here, im thankful for their presence. They managed to wake up the sleeping dragon. Only because them, the Germans woke up and elect AfD, kick at liberal elites and smash the perverted globalist ideology.
Your economy needed to be the size of the UK, France, Russia, and even the US combined. It wasn't. You needed the Brits to be at least neutral. You bungled it. You're right here, but it wasn't just the Muslims. Something was bound to pull the Germans out of their stupor. And it isn't the AfD that will lead Germany out of the mess. The truth is that Russia is and always has been your going concern. This has changed over the last few decades, you're starting to look at the Russians as allies and the Americans as rivals. This is a natural process. We beat the Russians and pushed them beyond even some of their very old borders. In the process we made them less of a threat and ourselves more of one. But we're going to beat you and the Russians... again. You're not good leaders, and it's been showing since 2008. When the going gets hard, Germany doesn't give a damn about Europe.
Germany did not start WW I. We got dragged into it. Infact Germany was pulled into it when it was already running over a week. As for the rest of this rubbish, Germany carrys the entire EU on its shoulders. we always helped Europe but what has Europe done for us? Tell me, when Europe helped us. Just a single time.
Every nation is dragged into every war. The war was coming, like it or not, and the Germans failed to set the board favorably. Yeah, that's how Americans like to think of the Mexican-American War. The fact of the matter is that it was a direct result of our strength, just as WWI was of yours. That's not how leadership works. People expect you to sacrifice more, because you're the one who can.
My facts are based on AP News and other European media sources, which have far more credibility that Time. You're obviously not interested in Truth.
"And in what world would the EU need to defend against America"? You are joking, right? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...e-russia-us-military-defence-eu-a8619721.html[/QUOTE]
