Perhaps the anti-American tone from the government will change, but the entrenched anti-Americanism from the population will not. The average German is anti-American. Schroeder's anti-American platform worked for a reason. There is no friendship between our nations. We Americans should recognize that and move on.
I don't mean that in a mean-spirited way. People change, times change our future does not lie with Europe. Europe is in decline and there is no reason, especially not friendship, for us to hang on to this sinking ship.
I don't disagree. It's 50 years of Leftist claptrap that's done it. It cannot be undone over night. Germans listen to their elites more than Americans do. That's why they bought into the Euro when it was stupid for the average German to want the Euro. France duped the Germans into it, and the ordinary German went along like a good Prussian. Just stupid.
