" . . . one of America’s most steadfast allies, Germany . . . "

One our "most steadfast allies"? Well, there was WW II, when they were our bitter enemy. Then we helped build them back up via the Marshall Plan, the two Germanys were eventually reunited, and ever since then Germany seems to oppose America most of the time on almost everything.

We do seem to have a lot of AINOS. Ally in name only.

You have a mutually beneficial relationship with an ally.

Mexico...not so much
Europe...not so much

and on and on

Don’t forget WWI. Germany has NEVER been our “friend.”
