I believe you underestimate the amount of nukes America hold.

So Europeans are cowards, is that what you are saying?

Not suicidal, or stupid, would be what he means.

Are you European or not?

[SSDR]

@dontwastemytime, Yeah, and especially for what it did to all of Western Europe. It made it a slimy land, full of graffiti and fat people. Its culture is somewhat self destructive.

No. Wise. Is it cowardness to refuse to jump in the fire whilst wearing a belt of dynamite?

If you fight, you do so using your strengths not your weaknesses. Outright war favours America. Diplomacy favours Europe.

That's not relevant to this thread. Is this just your way of evading the topic?

Then why doesn't it destroy it then?

Freedom of speech? Whatever made you think that that exists on a private forum? There are rules. Perhaps it's how you choose to express yourself that's the problem.

Now, why do you think mass murder is going to solve any problems? You will merely be replacing one "evil" with another. Perhaps there is a less murderous solution?

My wife was complaining how cruel the world was he other day - reading about a sociopathic murder - and suggested it would be better humans left it to nature.

I had to point out the news story I just read of a pack of dogs ripping apart a young child.

Nature is phycopathic by our standards. It lacks all empathy which is about as scary as you can get. It actively hunts the weak and the young.

As for America, it’s just an offshoot of Europe and continuing a more modern version of what we did. The only bit I find especially irritating anymore is the concept of American exceptionalism. Like it was some blank slate or something.

Ironically, it’s what rapid America haters like op also seem to believe in. A unique evil the the world and all would be fine if we purged it.

i have seen many good answers here. some things i would like to add, in the eyes of our populations, russia is far worse than the us( not saying it is like that)
and i feel like europe understands the price of a war, there are no winners in war( we are better than that) so if we d want to get rid of the usa it would have to happen in an other way, and currently our balls are only big enough to go in dialoge

Doesn't make any fudging sense!

You Europeans are so full of contradictions, you know that!?

Why does it allow it, answer me!?

Germany's defeat in 1945 meant that it was stripped of its ability to defend itself from external attack. However, it was in the interests of the western Allies to secure West Germany as a bulwark against the Soviet Union. West Germany's security was therefore guaranteed by the USA. This suited the West Germans just fine, since they no longer had to pay for their own security and the US was a more powerful ally than, say, Italy or Romania had ever been. Lol.

The same logic applied to Japan, of course. And it still applies, in both cases. Student radicals in German or Japan may whine about their nation's vassal status, but the ruling elite in both countries are just fine with it.

Germany's defeat in 1945......

Are you German?

Can Germans only answer please?

[layman]

I’m detecting a theme to your posting.

This coming from a true German.

So your arrogance has been true German arrogance all along?

[layman]

@beren i Only accept replies from Germans and the welsh, sorry.

@beren i Only accept replies from Germans and the welsh, sorry.

I'm partly German, so I wonder if I should qualify.

[fuser]

I am a German and I have made @Potemkin an honorary German, so he can answer on Germany's behalf, don't worry.

[SolarCross]

I'm English, but the English are predominantly anglo-saxon. The Anglo-saxons are like germans except with a sense of humour. So you could say I am more german than most german people especially now that most of them are Syrians.
