Russia can march all the way to Berlin, and I won't care.

Not to worry, my grandson can put a couple more hundred billion on his tab to bump up the Germans. While we’re at it how about a couple hundred billion on your grandchildren’s credit for Taiwan? Of course, first and foremost, we must maintain that $750 million a day for Uke corruption.

Demographics is destiny and they have largely done this to themselves. We should be getting out of Nato as well before we wakeup and find that suddenly many NATO countries are 3rd world Islamist majority.

Given the trans fetish sweeping the world, and especially the Germans, I would not be surprised at Botswana conquering Germany.

“1 Trillion in Gdp?”

I know, math is hard for some people here, BUT NOT CONSERVATIVES!

I mean it. Show your math. Macroeconomics (or it’s subfield development economics) is a hobby of mine. My first job was actually with Arthur Anderson (Asia), in a consulting gig with the Asian Development Bank. Never lost that interest on spite of being an engineer.

Then I went to the US to get a real engineering career.

“I mean it. Show your math.”

Math is tough, I get it!!! So don’t be embarrassed that you cannot do the same simple calculations, including the multiplier effect from paying 8X for gas most of the summer.

It’s ok. Just go back to Art History, where your buddies reside.

Dude, your math. You are in the classroom. Go to the board. Stand and deliver.

I don’t expect Liberal Arts majors to get it. But that’s ok, we’ll win WW3 due to you guys, since we barely graduate any engineers or scientists, anymore. (don’t believe me, go to a graduate school in the US, and see if anyone understands English)

Dude, no more bullshit.
Or you’re a fake. A tough guy who isn’t.
So cough it up.

“Or you’re a fake. A tough guy who isn’t.”

Again, MATH IS HARD - stick to Art History, much easier for the ‘creative’ types.

So, are you cooking chicken or doing math?

Cooking chicken I think.

Isn’t the Bundeswehr only available 8/5?

It’s taken the Russians months to take a mining town against the Ukrainians. My guess is that aren’t coming through Fulda any time soon. Germany has time to get its act together.

Germany hasn’t had a military worth of the name in over 30 years. The Bundeswehr is a joke. Its equipment is outdated or not maintained in working order.

They’ve been free riding off of America to provide for their defense for decades. I remember a certain orange billionaire calling them on the carpet for it over and over again - but what did he know? Who cares that they didn’t even keep their word to spend a paltry 2% of GDP on Defense and had no intention of doing so? The Americans would always be there to pay for their defense for them - right?
