I’ll take it. I loved that man.
Even fifth graders know its US soil so we can do pretty much whatever we want. Why is this even a story? Do they run headlines all the time about all the Mao photos at Chinese embassies random people may or may not like?
Give them a Statue of Mad Mo’.
Reagan said to tear down this wall, not to throw the doors open the barbarians who want to spread Islam.
Old Germany same as new Germany
Filthy Hun bastards.
Ungrateful kraut bastards.
I was stationed in Frankfurt from 1986 to 1991. I made it over to East Berlin about a month before the Wall came down. In the East, we had to go in uniform (patches and insignia removed) and we went into shops where they wouldn’t wait on us, and I got bitched out by a middle-aged guy on the street, just because of who I represented. East Germans were not friendly at all.
In the West, the Germans that lived around where the Kassernes were, especially in the larger cities, were pretty mixed on how they viewed/treated us. As soon as we got into the smaller hamlets and countryside, though, they were a lot more friendly.
Just like here, I don’t pay much attention to the opinions of people that live in the larger towns and cities. As a general rule, there’s a reason they live there.
[[[But a man in his 30s told DW he was opposed to the statue. “I wouldn’t be too happy to connect the fall of the Berlin Wall to Ronald Reagan because he was quite a conservative president,” he said. “He made the Cold War much more intense than it was before.” …]]]
Fantastic grasp of history there, moron.
Sure beats the heck out of an unwanted Barack 0bama statute.
Dear Germany, if you want to put a statue of Hitler on the German embassy in DC, we wouldn’t care since it is your land, so please STFU...
Why not a statue of FDR or Wilson? :)
On the brighter side, the enormous casualties the U.S. suffered in Europe and north Africa would have been avoided...
Without having to fight two wars (Europe & Pacific), additional attention and resources (ships & airplanes) could have been brought to bear on the japs...
Finally, the loss of the Soviet Union as the key mentor to the implementation of communism worldwide would have crippled the large contingent of communists in the U.S. both as citizens and government officials... It may be likely that the successful foothold they have now gained in controlling large parts of the U.S. federal & state & municipal governments under the guise of the democrat party would not have been possible...
When the japs attacked the U.S. we had just one (1) foreign enemy... Then, for his own reasons, FDR and the communist-controlled state department made the Germans into an additional enemy...
Today, after expending untold trillions of dollars and unimaginable lives in a two (2) front WWII, we now have two (2) foreign enemies (China & Islam) and one (1) domestic enemy (communists) within the gates and having significant control throughout the U.S... All three (3) enemies with a huge presence in the U.S and seem to be itching to start a conflagration......
I’m guess we shouldn’t expect gratitude from Germans who collectively thought it was a good idea to elect a bitch with a Stasi background as PM. Talk about fumbling on the goal line!
Never forget that Herr Merkle is a born East German.
Germans ought to get on their knees and thank Ronald Reagan they are not speaking Russian.
What does a Kraut in his 30’s know about the Reagan years?
He didn’t live through them or was an infant during Reagan’s second term.
Also, the U.S. Embassy is the equivalent of U.S. territory.
A Reagan statue on the grounds of the U.S. Embassy is none of the German’s business.
That “man in his 30s” shows why I could not give one crap that Germans will be a minority in their own country within 20 years. To hell with them, literally.
