“They love to ride in our shadow”
Given the first fact that the US of A go down the drain at the moment, it’s not all that funny to ride in that shadow.
The other fact: It was W who came up with the ‘one superpower’ doctrine in 2002 and you Sir suposedly elected the bunch that proudly wanted to do everything and all to be the one nation that leads all others !
You should stop the bitching and pick yourselfs up (when you are ready falling).
Sehr typisch Deutsch. Voller Heuchelei, schadenfreude, nutzloss.
Interesting how the tone reference missile defense has changed, isn't it? No worries, in your Spiegel world other stories will dominate. Emphatically and unanimously the Europeans now throw themselves behind missile defense. I thought you guys wanted change too, and hoped that this hegemonic, imperial, Bush, oil inspired, unilateral, technically impossible, destabilizing, arms race starting idea would get struck down now now. Why are you within NATO now making all these symbolic efforts to show that you're actually really for it?????? I figured your politicians would be cheering and screaming “Entlich ein ende von SDI.”
Now worries though, like in all other cases, you won't remember your own words and actions. You won't see yourself for the vermin you are. But I do. I do remember “your” people hanging on our base fences after we bomber Libya for La Belle. I do remember “your” people and the protests against the nuclear Lance, Pershing, and GLGM. I guess nuclear deterrence did work? But no worries, that too is forgotten by the simply minds that jump on every political bandwagon as your type does. I also remember your people being silent after Pan Am 103 where the bomb was smuggled on board at Frankfurt a.M. or the quick retreat you made after 911 and in Afghanistan. What does the German “Uneingeschraenkte Solidaritaet” mean? Not much. Your republic only exits because others created and paid for it. Your people have decided that that they would rather live on their knees than die on their feet many years ago.
Well,
I’m happy to see that your country, and of course the sheep living there, now after all “do” see a need for missile defense. LOL
Very typical.
