“Germany currently enjoys record employment and is paying down the national debt.”
Perfect time to pull ALL our troops out from there. Let them fund their own military. See how long socialism survives.
Germany funds its own military and is less socialist than USA.
Let”s pull out today. I dont see anyone here stopping us. You might want to consider the effect on US military industrialism.
Really? Please post the agreement.
We need tariffs. We need to pull out of Europe, except for Poland.
Why would you think so?
Be exact please.
Don’t worry World will be GONE soon
Because Germany is text book globalist slacker nation and you are defending it. If you tell me you are not then please be specific.
Is that so?
Interesting they could not hold power in Egypt. Failed in Syria. Failed in Iraq. Still struggling in Afghanistan.
Well, it seems rational people dodged the tariff tax bullet and agreed to meet or come very close to the Trump requirement for a new bilateral trade agreement.
As far as I know, all of it is not finalized but there are no collected tariffs on Euro items especially the threatened aluminum and steel and autos.
I don’t know about trucks but I’m pretty sure a decrease or elimination of tariffs on American pickups is part of the deal
The US military has numerous bases there, and troops inject tons of cash into their economy. And Germany has cradle to grave social programs, with strict laws about mandatory paid vacation time and maximum hours worked. Very difficult to start a business there. Everything is regulated way beyond what we see in the US. And in the US, we’re actually cutting regulations.
Pull our troops, shut the bases. Let Germany fund their own defense. All of it. 100%. And I don’t give a damn about military industry overseas, US or other. Sink or swim time.
Dodged a bullet, or sold out the American worker to Wall Street, Free Traitors and Goldman Sachs?
Living in a globalist slacker nation” makes me a nazi?
Thanks for being specific. Knew you were coming from some crazy bs.
“To all intents and purposes Germany has long since ceased to be a capitalist country. “The capitalist system has been replaced by the National Socialist system which is borne along by an entirely different spirit and obeys entirely different intrinsic laws from those which control the capitalist economy.”

I look at Germany as a rebellious adolescent. Talented in some ways but woefully confused about the adult world.
I got your attention.
It’s terrible considering they were supposed to fill a worker shortage.
As for their military...https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/a-european-recruitment-drive-wont-fix-germanys-broken-military
They’d get the crap kicked out them by the NYC cops.
Your ideas about Germany are way behind the time. Many US troops were already pulled out. Starting a business in German is not difficult. Visit any mall or shopping area.
USA has food stamp programs feeding tens of millions of people. You wont find any such socialist program in Germany.
I agree pull out the relatively few forces. Oh, but Germany is a NATO country.
BS. I just spent over 100 euros today alone on the capitalist system here - LoL!
Beyoch want’s a 4th Reich.
You are mixed up. Refugees fled here because Obama screwed up in the Middle East. They fled being burned alive by ISIS. There was a humanitarian crisis created by the US. I am sure the Germans would accept a simple thank you.
