State Department spokeswoman notes D-Day in answer on 'strong relationship' with Germany - CNNPolitics

Washington (CNN)State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert on Tuesday cited the D-Day invasion during an answer about the current state of US-German relations.

"We have a very strong relationship with the government of Germany," Nauert said. "Looking back in the history books, today is the 71st anniversary of the speech that announced the Marshall Plan. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the D-Day invasion. We obviously have a very long history with the government of Germany, and we have a strong relationship with the government of Germany."
Nauert's comment came during a press briefing Tuesday after she was asked about controversial remarks by the US ambassadors to Germany and Israel.
Richard Grenell, the US envoy to Germany, turned heads when he did an interview with the far-right news site Breitbart. In the interview, Grenell criticized the German government and said he wants to "empower" European conservatives. The ambassador was criticized for politicizing diplomacy at a time when US-German relations are strained over Trump's withdrawals from the Iran deal and the Paris climate accord and his imposition of steel and aluminum tariffs on the European Union.


When asked about Grenell's remarks on Tuesday, Nauert offered a broad answer about ambassadors having "a right to express their opinion."
"Regardless of whether or not you all like it, sometimes these things are what ambassadors say," Nauert said before going on to invoke D-Day and the Marshall Plan.

She is clueless

 

[Political Junky]

Wondering who in the White House told her to say that.

 

[beagle9]

Rescuing the Germans from a mad man is what has constituted our long standing relationship with the German people to this very day and recognizing D-Day was a huge part of it...... Showing the German's in West Germany how it was to live free as opposed to East Germany afterwards (where you had Soviet control) was yet another great thing to remember..

Remember the east German's were killed if tried to cross the wall or line in which separated the east from the West, and that was yet another trying time for millions of Germans living in the west that soon we're reunited with loved ones from the East, and all due to the outstanding accomplishments of Ronald Reagan who was instrumental in getting Michelle Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall.

The German's know how significant D-Day was for them, and how costly it was for us.

Nothing wrong with the comments unless one thinks that there is something wrong with America, and that Nazi Germany should still be alive today.

Millions upon millions of Germans know what D-Day meant for their future, and we know the price we paid for that future.

On the surface, of course it's an odd comment. In reality, it is a success for the German people, especially after 5 years of war, bombs dropped on the German people. The Germans were saved from fascism, D Day shortened the war by at least a year, maybe more.

We killed thousands of Germans and also kept them in POW's that most died in. Learn history. As bad as Trump saying Canada burned the WH down in the war of 1812. Fire bombed Dresden. Destroyed Germany. And the Germans have been paying for it since to the Jews.

Idiots are in the wh.

why in the hell did we have so many killed in WWII to help France and the UK, who we now treat like shit, not to mention GERMANY.

You really shouldn't be cajoling anyone to "learn history" in a post that demonstrates your ignorance of history. Nor should you be referring to anybody in the White House as an idiot after beginning your post with gibberish.

You are a poster child for the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Fucking idiot.

The death rate for German POW's in British and American hands was incredibly low. You are confusing them with the Russian POW camps, and those were death camps, same as the German POW camps for Russian prisoners.

Two different wars fought at the same time.

Wrong?

How about this tidbit:

"WWe killed thousands of Germans and also kept them in POW's "

WWe? If you have to go to the bathroom, take care of that yourself. You don't need permission.

Kept them in POWs? They were POWs. How do you keep POWs in POWs? Is that some sort of weird medical experiment?

Being a pathetic imbecile describes you perfectly!

So freeing the German people from the Nazi's was a bad thing ?

By June 1944 the civilian population of Germany was tired of Hitler and his war.

 

[Muhammed]

why in the hell did we have so many killed in WWII to help France and the UK, who we now treat like shit, not to mention GERMANY.

The reason that the US had so many killed in WWII is because the US populace was being crushed under the cruel iron-gripped fascism of the infamous Democrat tyrant, Franklin Roosevelt.

A very cruel and sadistic slave driver, who enslaved more Americans than any person in history, Roosevelt sent them to their deaths.

Learn some history, jackass.
