[Night Hides Not]

Great post! 44 years ago, I was a 26YO Army LT living in Traben-Trarbach, Germany. My German neighbors pleaded with me to vote for Carter, they were sure Reagan would start WWIII.

I countered with “the world is a safer place when America is strong.” That mantra rings true today.

Oddly enough, because Carter undermined the Shah of Iran and caused Iran to be run by Islamic nut-jobs who are now making nuclear weapons, it looks like Carter is the guy who started WWIII.

--- "Traben-Trarbach, Germany"

You're a lucky so-and-so. The whole of the Moselle and Weinstrase is special. I'd enjoyed hiking in the Pfalzwald nearby, and visited one or two too many wineries. I hope your time there was most special.

So many of the Germans I knew -- and still know courtesy of email and Skype -- have slowly been disabused of the state sponsored media and the likes of Spiegel. It is sad to think the Lefty hatred of Trump which has brought Germany to this place, with enormous rises in energy prices and the idiotic flood of "migrants" which is doublespeak for "invasion."

Personally and because of my affection for many Germans from both the old East and the West, now unified, I am saddened for what is coming for them. Courtesy of that "fundamental transformation" stuff. Schade. Wirklich schade.

Best wishes.
