In a campaign speech, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz acknowledged that "the era of unconditional love that the US has shown to Europe since World War II are over. The generosity that every US president since Truman has shown toward Germany and our fellow European states has been ended by the cruelty of President Trump. Fortunately, the defensive shield from Russian aggression provided by US arms is no longer needed. The hundreds of billions that shield saved us permitted us to provide ample social welfare benefits that would otherwise not have been possible."
Merz went on to mock Trump's "humiliation by Iran in the foolish war he initiated against the Islamic regime that had previously been at peace with the rest of the world since its inception in 1979. I think this disproves the claim that the US is a superpower that everyone else must heed lest they be 'annihilated,' as Trump falsely claims Iran has been."
Trump said "I am neither impressed nor surprised by Chancellor Merz's ingratitude nor his 'declaration of independence.' It's long overdue that the fully grown men of Europe learn to fend for themselves in the world. Iran has been funding terrorist attacks around the world since 1979. On top of this, countries like Germany, France, and England are embedded with millions of potentially hostile Muslims who may soon outnumber and outvote native Germans, French, and English citizens. All three of the effete governments of these countries have rising populist opposition parties that could still prevent this bleak future, but all are foolishly trying to suppress the desire of their citizens to remain German, French, or British."
Merz scoffed at "Trump's notion that our efforts to stifle the unwanted intrusion of anti-globalist ideas into our patterns of governance will be thwarted. These populists have been kept out of power and will continue to be kept out of power no matter how many votes they get in any elections. We've already seen how obsessed Trump is with the idea of Iran having nuclear weapons. Well, both the UK and France already have nuclear weapons. What if voters in each of those countries elect Islamists to power? What will Trump do about that?"
In related news, Hasan Piker asserted that "the world would be a more stable place if Iran had nuclear weapons. Without nuclear weapons Iran is forced to fund numerous terrorist attacks around the world in its quest to conquer the world for Allah. If Iran had nuclear weapons it could achieve the same result by merely threatening to use those weapons. The cowardly infidels would yield to Iran's demands without any blood having to be shed. The whole world would be for Allah and no further terror attacks would be necessary. There would be world peace forever from that point on."

Except for a few composers, I always hated the Krauts.
“...the foolish war he initiated against the Islamic regime that had previously been at peace with the rest of the world since its inception in 1979.”
How he said this with a straight face is the real howler for today.
Either Merz is an effing moron or he thinks Americans are effing morons....the comments are beyond stupid...
Iran has been at peace with the world since 1979???
Yes, US spent Billions propping up NATO with borrowed money.
Germany used military savings to increase social benefits to Germans.
Don’t expect a whole lotta love from America as you’re heading down the road to totalitarianism. America needs to wash its hands of Europe.
Way past time for the US to defend the E U , Canada etc
Why exactly does Europe deserve unconditional love form America?
How about Europe showing some unconditional love instead, we have over 80 years of giving and they have only been taking.
Time for them to give back. How contemptuously arrogant of them, but that has always been Europe, thankless cretins to the end who spit on you every time you give them a hand.
Like the hateful little child who always expects the parent to save them, eventually even the most loving parent must allow the child to experience their consequences.
It’s called Semi-News/Semi-Satire for a reason.
You’re gonna need a bigger boat for all the ones you hooked with this one.
One former Israel Prime Minister opined that if Islam didn’t have Ireal to hate then they’d have to invent an Isreal. His meaning was that Islam preaches hate. If there’s no outside enemy to hate, then it would consume itself. Is there a Suni Muslim who believes that a Shia nuclear power would be benevolent? If so he’s an idiot. The reverse is also true.
The only thing that has kept Pakistan from nuking neighboring and even some internal threats, is the complex dynamics of dealing with India and America. Rest assured that the moment outside threats were minimized the nuclear power version of Islam would enforce its own cultural purity. Purity in this case means their side lives and the other side dies.
Picture the Wars of the Reformation, or the Crusades, but with nuclear weapons. The West has liberalized to the point where they foolishly let cultural enemies bent on destroying them and their culture into their big tent. It will not end well. As to what nuclear powers do when they are about to fall and know it, let’s hope they go with the South African model. They invite the UN to take all their nuclear weapons before they exit the stage. Had it not been for that fact who knows what the present anarchist state would have done with them?
Including me, lol.
which portion is not satire??
.
I think all of the article accurately reflects Merz’s thoughts on the subject.
Merz is truly a braindead fool.
I guess we were supposed to just keep shoveling money at them forever, while they continually denigrated us?
What an ingrate. F europe.
Repeat after me, Friedrich, "Allahu akbar", and grab youself a prayer mat, cause you're gonna need it.
“Either Merz is an effing moron or he thinks Americans are effing morons”
Both can be true.
If they don’t change their ways, the “era of Europe” will be over - probably sooner than they think.
