Thanks to Trump, Germany says it can’t rely on the United States. What does that mean?

“Disastrous European tour?”
No, disastrous Washington Post article. Fake news.
The “real” news = hey Germany and NATO, pay up, climate cash cow ain’t supported by the USA.
Troubles in Europe = high unemployment in France, Germany lost control of its borders, Italy pays 1% of GDP for defense and is in as much trouble with the economy as Spain and Greece.
Coming soon pay up for the UN or get out of the USA.
Hey Mr. President, ignore the MSM and just tweet posts from Gingrich, Rush, Laura, Jeanine, other conservative links...

Thank you, President Trump. About time someone stood up for the American people.

When was the last time the U.S. could depend on German?

Europe depending on itself has not been a good situation in the past. Bavaria being the most conservative part of Germany may not like Merkel’s message.
To: lowbridge
Means progress is being made to me. Merkel has been a disaster for Germany. Her not being able to count on Trump is not only a "good" thing, it is a "great" thing.

Das ist erst das. (roughly translated from German ‘’that's just for starters’’) Like we ever needed the Krauts for anything. I'm not worried. Muslims are killing Germans pretty much on a regular basis. And the Huns aren't doing a damn thing about it. So why should we worry that they can't ‘’rely’’ on us?

I remember those signs. They meant something then and mean something now.

There is always Honda(Ohio) and Toyota(all over). They’re not my first preference (lack of affordable 6cyl+ cars), but they’re available, reliable, and American.
I’m thankful that my family didn’t move to Augsburg (for work) in the 1980s. Not only would it have caused issues then, we’d have dealt with today’s issues had we chosen to stay.

Germany and the rest of the EU elite can't rely on us to fight against ethnic Germans and other ethnic Europeans when they rise against the invaders the EU overwhelmed all parts of Europe they control with.
The way WW3 is playing out, NATO is supposed to stop Russia from saving Europe. It's WW3 and until President Trump came along it looked unstoppable.

Even Japanese transplants like Honda or Toyota?
While they use Japanese blueprints, the cars themselves are otherwise very American.

What she's saying is asinine.Article 5 exists and no one contributes more to the security of Europe than the US.
Do we still have troops in Germany?? If we do....let's get them out of there.
To: lowbridge
German Chancellor Angela Merkel told a crowd Sunday in southern Germany that Europe
can no longer rely on foreign partners.Well then, quit accepting Georgie's Agenda 21 incentive deutche-moola.

Do we still have troops in Germany?? If we do....let's get them out of there. If the primary adversary of NATO is Russia, then the proper place for forward bases is Poland.
If the primary adversaries of NATO are Middle Eastern Islamic terrorists then the proper place for forward bases are Italy and Greece.
There's only one country that could be the primary adversary of NATO that would require us to still have forward bases in Germany. And that country has been pretty well behaved since the occupation started in 1945.

Germany has not paid its NATO bills.
I wager Germany and France will welch and cheat on their Climate Change promises
