Germany must go right. Put in a conservative now and fix things. Rebuild the Military. Kick out the lay-about muslims. MGGA! Once the world trembled at the power of her U-Boats. Now they have only a token—more in museums than at sea. Germany has become a sick joke.

Anke, you are right. Thank you very much for setting the record straight.👍🏻

Very sorry, Mr/Mrs Fortes fortuna juvat, but there are situations in which voting will only get you so far. After all, the presidential elections of 2020, and the Rumanian elections last month, are still in vivid, though unhappy, memory🙁

The downfall began since Merkel decided to import a million Arab Muslims

And that same thing WILL HAPPEN HERE unless enough of those who blindly vote for Marxist-Democrats and sycophant RINOs do not soon wake up and realize that they are voting for their own destruction.

THEY DO NOT HAVE THE POWER RESOURCES TO KEEP THE GIANT GERMAN MACHINE INDUSTRIES AFLOAT.

No need to be sorry because of course you’re right. But I would be interested to know what you think would or should follow AFTER the election process FAILS.

VW-Porsche-Audi-MB investment in EV is going to go bad in Germany.

ALL well and truly said, and as a descendant of ancestors who for generations lived in Niedersachsen, in the small village of Wildeshausen, what has happened to Deutschland since the Far Left became dominant in the government and the culture breaks my heart! Hopefully the AfD’s candidate for Chancellor, Alice Weidel, will CRUSH the Leftists. If she doesn’t, we will probably never return to that beautiful homeland!

My opinion on a possible chancellorship of Mrs. Weidel?

I think the country could still be saved if she won, but for the coming years there would have to be ferocious efforts to be made to rectify all that has gone wrong, i.e. remigration of the invaders, establishing energy security, drastically strengthening families, repairing the infrastructure, rectifying all the leftist societal tendencies, etc. etc. She would have to instate reforms along the lines of those which Trump or Milei carried out (and are going to carry out in the future). More or less, our respective countries are suffering from the same malaises, after all 🙂

I don’t have much hope that she wins, since the left and its minions are very strong over here, but with God all things are possible. As everyone on FR knows 🙂

Just as He would not have destroyed Sodom if He had been able to find no more that ten righteous people, such is my hope that this time, He shall find ten or more righteous people in Germany. Amen 🙏🏻

Yes, besides driven by fantasy, they’re also very arrogant. Admitting they’ve made mistakes is extremely difficult for them.

Nice post. I bought a new one in 1968. Was still running great five years later until one day the engine went missing!

Oh. Had somebody stolen the engine right out of your car?

I‘m sorry to hear that, but some people take literally everything which is not nailed down 🙁

Well, their weapons industry is certainly ramping up, but, will it be enough?

Germany looks to be well set up for a slow population decline, so, if they can sell enough weapons via automated manufacturing to keep GDP roughly constant in inflation adjusted dollars, they might scrape by.

Those numbers (contracting economy) are poor, but not disastrous, esp. if the German population continues to decline.

From 1929 through 1933, the US GDP fell by roughly 30%. THAT was disastrous.
