Get happy Germany hater.
Germany agreed to increase NATO spending to the level of the US. Your complaints about that are stranger than strange.

Your assertion that Germany is undermining NATO countries in Eastern Europe is ridiculous. As if Germany is a slave State. How come restarting nuclear power plants is not “undermining NATO countries in Eastern Europe”...?

Hey FTL-bird... how about Trump stop undermining his allies and guarantee cheap energy for Europe... LoL!

German hater??? LOLOL! Meine Vorfahren waren Deutsche. Ich Han’ Deutsche geschichte gelernt und schon zweimal in Deutschland gewohnt. Das bedeutet aber nicht dass Ich die nutzlose Sitzpinkler die Deutschland heutzutage beherrschen unterstutzen muss. Scheiss ‘drauf!

Germany agreed to increase defense spending to a pitiful 2% of GDP. Their future budgets call for it to rise to 1.5%.....then sink back down. The US spends more like 4% of GDP on defense so GTFO with claims about how the Germans are doing their fair share under NATO. They aren’t.

You claim that Germany is not undermining states in Eastern Europe is ridiculous. That’s the whole point of Nordstrom I and now II - ie to cut out the “middlemen” (ie Eastern Europeans) and give Russia the flexibility to exert more leverage. Before they couldn’t cut off say Poland without also cutting off Germany and Western Europe. Now they will be able to. They will have a free hand to tighten the screws on Eastern European countries in this manner in a way they could not do previously. How can you not see that?

Nobody says Germany is expected to be “a slave state”. They’re expected to be a partner. They’re not acting like one. They’re - as usual - being extremely selfish.

How come restarting nuclear power plants is not undermining countries in Eastern Europe? Ummmm because it keeps Germany from being as dependent on Russia for its fuel? Because it would not shovel money at Russia? Because it would not provide Russia a means to exert pressure specifically against various Eastern European countries which they will be able to do when pipelines bypassing them are completed? Jesus, Think!

Trump isn’t “undermining” “allies”. He’s calling hypocritical freeloaders and leaches to account for their hypocrisy and greed. EVERY American President since the 1980s has opposed Nordstrom for obvious reasons. It’s not just Trump. Get a clue.
