    Well Sobo you still aren't smart enough to realize Germany has open borders and so you can't prevent illegal immigration of all the M.E. shithole countries migrants. Yeah, you're Sobo....

    We have closed borders since 2016. Im a police officer, i should know.

    The only nation with open borders now is USA. Your southern border iss o open, african and middle eastern migrants fly mexico and cross from there into USA, because its easier than Europe.

    I would hate to have an open bordern moron like Trump to be my leader. He talks about closing borders but does nothing. Why is that?

    How is it possible that Germany / EU was able to cull migration by 97% while USA is flooded by 3rd worlders en mass? You have an explanation for that?

    I mean it sounds bizarre, your orange goon talks tough but acts soft. Merkel did not talk at all and just locked down.

    Virulent anti-americanism and personal insults. He isn't a kid. He is a cop in Thuringia. His prior handle was Sobo.

    Im not racist. You still did not get that, which amazes me. I have friends all over the world.

    One is not racist to fight off illegal invaders. Calling evryone racist who doesnt stand for globalisation is a popular thing of the liberal left.

    I give you a hint, i sat down with aboriginal people in Australia and ate with them, listend their culture. I visited Morocco and put my shoes off when stepping into a mosque. I have greatest respect for evry culture and i deeply believe that behave respectful for evryone in their country as well to guests.

    But with great pleasure i will fight evryone trying to invade my nation. Thats not racism, thats common sense.

    Im much younger than you, yet have travelled much more than you. Even to places rarely visited, like New Caledonia.

    Sobo, we've been over this before....you're not a police officer....you're a secretary in a police station. Remember?

    You have repeatedly claimed that 85% of Germans want the US to pull out - the actual number is less than 1/2 that. Your "confusion" over what point you feigned seems just a bit self-serving.

    Big deal. Any dead fish can just float downstream. Trump's working to make sure you folks don't free-load on trade, if you don't like it, you can quit selling to us.

    Trump is also putting an end to your free-loading on defense. If you don't like it, you'll pull out.

    You invite us to watch your mouth, no thanks, we'll watch your feet.

    I would say the numbers are close to 100%.

    USA has a horrible renomee in Germany.

    One thing is clear, the world changes drastical and the fact that the German-American alliance ends doesnt mean we are enemies. Our nations just go different ways and i think thats ok.

    Hopefully trump will be history soon and im sure our nations can find a way to cooperate in many areas. As long Trump is president i dont see any way for cooperation.

    They report in news now that even in COVID-19 Germany unites with France, UK and plans to bring Japan and South Korea in to block US acess to a current developed vaccine, to prevent USA from stealing it.

    That would not have happened under Obama or Bush, but with Trump, there is zero trust.

    If you are just going with your unsupported feelings, you are free to go with whatever number you like.
    If you are just in it for the freebies and the freebies end, sure.
    Certainly he will not "cooperate" with your freeloading off the American People.
    Is that "They" and "News" like your 85% number which you were unable to source and have since raised to a hundred?
    Dumb and Dumber were the worst two back to back Presidents in US history. They were fine with free-loaders. Trump puts America First!

    Trump changed nothing on trade, he lacks the intelelct for that. EVry move he did, we countered and USA ended up on the losing side. Boeing for example. Trump put tariffs on Airbus, we blocked the Boeing - Embraer merger so long, that it became impossible and busted.

    As for defense, Trump achieved that we plan to lower defense cost, kicked the F-35 out of possible options for fighter jet replacement and cut out even european weapon systems that have american parts installed from competition.

    So what we see is, that we dont pull out but simply reverse what he did on USA. As you said, any dead fish can float downstream, we chose to counter attack and that quite sucessful.

    Why pull out, when you can strike back?

    Your problem is, your onyl market is China or the EU. China currently crushs you out its markets because your beef with them. Which puts us in a very comfortable position.

    So far we have always won when it came into trade. Your country is run by lobbyism and greedy bastards.

    Your Trump currently falters globally like a bouncy castle with powerloss. I dont think pulling out on trade or defense is a suitable solution, our counter attacks are much more fun.

    Germany's GDP is twice as large as Russia's and Germany has many powerful allies that Russia doesn't have. There is no reason that Germany needs help with day to day military defense. And as you mentioned yourself, 80% of Germans want to be responsible for their own defense. We should have been gone decades ago. But I do agree that leaving isn't much of a punishment. But it is a negative diplomatic gesture and serves as a warning to Germany about their relationship to the US. Also, Germany will have to spend a lot more money in their own defense, which is more work for them, but the right thing overall. As for the base, we should have taken our equipment and sold it to them.

    Why should we spend more? We already have 2nd highest spending in NATO. We dont see any threat that justifies higher defense cost. I think USA out, defense spending as it is is the best option.

    As for the base, its on german soil, afaik USA can take what is moveable property, the rest is German property.

    Its funny you and the other guy always start personal insults when you are unhappy with someone opinion.

    Since when is a guy who organizes operations, staff and cases a "secretary"?

    When it's his job. Why are you so sensitive about being a secretary?

    And since when does this board allow former members who were banned to return? Especially when they instantly start posting the exact same drivel as before.

    Teller explained why you did not do this. Out of fear. Germany invented nuclear fission. Your nukes were not failsafe. There was a 40% chance your bomb doesnt get off and we send a few up your arse in return

    Germany worked on the bomb itself and it was german scientists who gave the soviets the bomb.

    And while you depended on outdated bombers to deliver the bomb, Germany with the V2 rocket was capapble to send the bomb to any European city.

    See, thats why you have nothing to say in high command. If you push your proposal through your end result would be Paris, London, Moscow ect nuked by german V2

    I actually have 2 secretaries :D.

    That said, what i see in guys like you is a ripped reflection. You think your country is great, while its influence all over teh world collapses. And i hope you will accept your dimished role in the world.

    The time where USA could dictate to others are over and Germany is a prime example for that. We decline evry demand USA has. We counter evrything USA demands and push our agenda through.

    This is a new experince for you. Hope you will be able to accept that.

    As for some who believes in America first, i hope you also respect the same attitude will be base for all other nations.

    Trump Plans to Withdraw thousands of U.S. Troops From Germany, a Key NATO Ally

    I don’t see how this “Shows how dumb Trump is”. NATO is a piece of shyt and ought to be dismantled anyway. It was PR’d as protection from Communist expansion into western Europe but was mostly an opportunity for the American Military-Industrial Complex to stretch its legs.

    Does pulling NATO troops out "hurt Germany"? Well, the German politicians “on the take” with their lips up the back-side of Washington would probably miss the kick-back dollars but the German population won’t be shedding any tears if NATO is disbanded. Coca-Cola, baseball caps, and fast food are OK but German culture has been bitch slapped by constant American propaganda. West Germans have been weaned on the stuff but East Germans understood rather quickly that the U.S. is a fake.

    So, would ending NATO concessions prove Trump is dumb? I guess it depends upon how you look at it. It would be doing Germany a favour.
