So - after two World Wars and tens of millions of the murdered - we’re still paying Germany not to be aggressors?
I watched a documentary about the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, where Germans devoured Roman division and stopped the advance of the Roman Empire into norther Europe.
The historian actually lamented that this battle by Germans for their own freedom was a “wound” to Europe that was healed 2000 years later by the EU.
Liberals are evil scum.
If she’s pissed, I’m happy. Means we’re doing it right.
Life is pretty simple, sometimes.

You need to understand context in order to understand our post WWII policy.
WWII can be linked directly to the harsh terms imposed on Germany after WWI.
The thinking was (as I understand it) rather that kick them while they are down, help them rebuild their economy and remove the threat of another Hitler rising up.
Since the world has not seen another WW since then, you could say the policy worked.
However, it is long past time that the Europeans begin paying for their own defense and not the American taxpayers.
In this I support President Trump.
(I know it is much more complicated then this, but then this is just a quick post on a thread that will fade in memory before the day is over)
“So - after two World Wars and tens of millions of the murdered - we’re still paying Germany not to be aggressors?”
That sums the situation up pretty well. The 20th century showed quite well what happens when Germany is a “world power”. Twice in fact.
