— Same here. We should pull out all military assets. Then they might wake up a little and do what they should do in defending themselves.

Here is another issue, however. I have a feeling, that our forces are there, at least partially, to keep the Germans in line, so they don't do something stupid. Given their sorry history, over the last few hundred years, I wonder what they would do, if we are NOT there. I don't believe they think much differently, than they have for centuries. Right now, they look like a bunch of wusses in front of the muzzies, but that could change, or not, but they have a history of agression.

Immature response. Shortsighted worldview...will hurt Germany’s long-term interest to behave this way. Oh well, we’ve played this game before.

Many Germans are almost pathologically punctual.

was faded out after roughly 20 minutes for going over his time limit

He went past his time by twenty minutes?!

Fading him out instead of bringing out a vaudevillian hook is actually considerate.

Don’t go twenty minutes over and then blame others.

I'm guessing that most of the posters here missed that part.

After Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Truman shoulda nuked Berlin just for giggles.

Death to Deutschland!

He spoke for 20 minutes instead of the 10 he said he would take.
So he was 10 min over.

I don’t see Germany becoming aggressive. They are too wimpy and have few real men left. They are a far cry from what they were in 1939.

Besides, they are going to be kept busy dealing with the Muslim invaders.

I have an elderly German neighbor. She was born in 1933 so she remembers going through the War and how Germany recovered. She is going to Germany in August. I’m anxious to hear what she says about the state of today’s Germany with the huge Muslim invasion.

He probably should have stuck to time. Still, the Krauts need not be disrespectful.

Overall, this will hurt the Germans. They’re getting a bit too big for their britches.

No, his entire speech was 20 minutes, not 20 minutes over. The article is not clearly written.

OTOH, haven’t all of us wanted to turn off the mike when a speaker went over the time limit?

“Regardless of what the laughter was about a man in his position should be able to succinctly share his point within 10 minutes”

I agree. IF we’re going to filibuster their meeting, then they have a right to stop us. He was (apparently) given 10 MINUTES, they let him have 10 more minutes, but he kept rolling on. Not too brilliant.

"Let’s pull our troops and defense out of Germany and let’s hear the laughs."

Yes! And move them to Poland and Hungary where they they still have a sense of survival and defense of the West against the Muslim monsters.

Yeah laugh you krauts but one day you will wake up and realize your country was flushed down the toilet.
