Seriously, does the US really have that much influence on Europe and Japan?
German secret service is infested with so called atlanticists. People who don't see any future for Germany apart from that on the same path as with USA.
....in Germany it's not so much American clout....it's more Germany's inability to think for themselves, due to scars of two failed attempts of thinking for themselves.
true story.....rumours from Germans on another forum.....
And than you have Russian spies in there.Makes you wonder if there are people pulling for Germany in there.I somehow doubt it.
Well, there are worse places to live in other than Germany, so someone is obviously doing their job. Everywhere except on the formulation of a foreign and defense policy in tune with the rest of the members of EU, which would then bring economies of scale comparable to US.
But then you have the issue of not wanting to send men to die in far away (not so far away anymore?) countries. I predict when robots make it big, Europe will be much more proactive in this regard.
To be honest i do not even know what they are thinking (bureaucrats in Bruxelles and other capitals that opted for downsizing of the armed forces). Everywhere on our borders there is either war, preparing for it, or utter shit from where people just run away from.
Today's Germany would have people in Saxony screaming not to send German troops to die for Bavaria if Saxony wouldn't be touched,lol.Ofcourse,nothing beats Sweden's oficially titled "feminist foreign policy".And,last but not least we have Juncker who thinks the EU should be about distributing "immigrant quotas" to its members.....It's slowly becoming a circus in here but i have to tell you that i'm not amused.
Let's hope that destruction of smuggler's boats brings some fruits.
Ummm...up above in my reply to Nihonjin, i edited something, there's a link you might find interesting (Eurostat one)
There is ofcourse cold hard calculation on the part of the US, in keeping a potential rival down, and especially Germany, as you will see in the link below, the much talked about western European norms/standards etc etc is a myth..... it's mostly northern, central and partially southern standards. Is pretty evident where the core or the engine lies...... on what, ekhm...axis .....everything else are just abnormalities due to higher income in capital cities.
