I think you nailed it: They are waking up from a coma.....they will soon be the superpower they once were. Hopefully our Der Fuhrer will get along with their Der Fuhrer.

Germans are the smartest people in the world. Period. This is not even up for debate.

I agree completely, especially considering how much the US dollar and US treasury notes are going to drop in value after Obama’s tenure. As much as it pains me to say it, but I could see the Euro and German bonds becoming more of a cornerstone of international finance (instead of US instruments) post-Obama, unless something drastic changes in the 2010 elections.

What the Taliban and al-Quaeda need is an old-fashioned Blitzkrieg. They’ll never know what hit them.

“At some point, the pandora’s box will be opened again. “

So long as they’re with the good guys, I say fling that box open!

Marder’s ain’t tanks, they’re APCs.

Other than that, best wishes for the Wehrmacht, uh, I mean Bundeswehr. Give the Talibunnies Hell.

All the Germans have to do is to raise their birth rate and they’re set.

Agreed. The Germans and Japanese have proven their ability to fight. Time to let them pull their share as world powers.

Had the same problem when I was in Germany. You should be able to find something at a store nearby to solve the problem. I forgot what the name of it is, but it is basically wolverine piss. Get a bottle and spray it around the underside of your hood and it will keep those little bastards away.

“Good Guys” can be be relative. A resurgent Germany, Russia, The People's Republic of China, or Jihadis. Pick any one for an ally.

IMHO, Germany wins hands down. For now.

But I dunno how they're gonna manage a resurgence with a declining population, though. Heck, all of Europe has that problem. We would, too, if it weren't for immigration. That's one reason I believe that abortion has crossed the line from being a "mere" moral depravity to a national security issue.
