With the possible exception of Helmut Kohl Germany has always had terrible leaders. German Hillary is no exception.
Helmut Kohl was an unbelievable idiot. But the right idiot at the right place in the right moment. The problem now: Trump is only an idiot without anything else except money. He has absolutely no idea what he is doing on what reason - except on reason of the own money.
It was totally funny for example what he said about the natural gas which we sell from Russia. And it was much more funny what he did not say about the new NATO-member "Erdogania" - which was once the former country Turkey. The lost democracy Turkey is one of the worst backstrokes for the democracies of the Western World. And this had happened within the heart of the NATO. And the situation of the democracies in Poland, Hungary and elsewhere is also not the best. And what says the greatest president of the USA ever - the president of "the democracy" - to this problems?
"Germany is my enemy - I will fight as long against Germany until no star of a Mercedes-Benz will be seen in the streets of NY any longer." Aha. Trump has problems. Funny. Is anything not funny in context with this clown - except that he is president of the United States?
It was Kohl, Reagan and Thatcher that stood strong together and deployed the Pershing II missiles that was a tremendous factor in bankrupting the Soviet Union's military that led to the downfall of the Soviet Union..
The "NATO-Doppelbeschluß" was in the year 1979 - December. Specially the Social Democrat chancellor Helmut Schmidt had to do with this difficult decision in Germany. The democrat Jimmy Carter was president of the USA at this time of history when he first step were done. Others continued.
You are confused about Trump.
He is a master negotiator that is showing strong American leadership. Something we haven't seen since Reagan.
Trump convincing the NATO members to increase military spending is the biggest counter to Russian influence we have seen in decades.
That's nonsense. We decided under Obama to duplicate the money we will give for national defense. We made a palne tpo increase this year by year. And now is the next step. This would had happened without Trump in the same way. Lates in 2024 we are at 2%.
A refreshing show of leadership especially after eight years of weakness
No one had the feeling here Obama was weak president.
and nothing from that affirmative action dumbshit previous President. I am not even sure that Obama knew there was a NATO alliance until somebody briefed him on it after becoming President.
The militant Muslims are ******* up Turkey just like they **** up every other country where they have influence.
Turkey made a so called "presidential system" - the Turks have the feeling they make a copy of the presidential system of the USA with a strong leader. And they defend in a similar way the religion Islam as extremists in the USA are defending this what they think what the Christian religion could be. And they are "independent" in a similar way as the USA is "independent". Turkey reorganizes by the way in the moment the army. "Personal loyality" seem to be worldwide meanwhile the standard. Take "ambassador" Grenell as an example. A totally incompetent man, but loyal to Trump.
