    What’s amazing is they’re obtuse enough that they don’t understand Germany started two world wars and we trust them just fine.

        The war ended, the Nazis persisted and often times the skilled ones were taken as was reparations by the allies.

        It logically has to happen or they win the world.

      They had to lose both of those wars and completely rebuild their political institutions for that trust to be rebuilt lol. Nothing like that will happen here. Nobody is coming to save you.

        Yeah I mean setting aside the facts that Germany was literally split in half for 40 years after WW2 and governed by outside forces for a time, was basically forced to enact reforms to prevent the elevation of fascists to their government again, and had a thorough set of war crime trials (a process created from the ground up specifically for Germany), they basically just whistled dixie and the world started trusting them again when they elected a different chancellor. /s

        Ya huh, .ca might as well be .ru as this point. All you all do is call for armed uprising and vocalize your doom spiraling and saber rattling.

      Technically they only started one world war and even that is debatable.

      After the first one they got shafted so hard by everyone that they still felt the pain years later. Which kinda lead into Hitler’s coming into power.

      And Japan. And Vietnam. And fucking CHINA!

      Then again, America is pretty much confirmed to be a nation of mostly idiots or lazy losers, so of course we would forgive our enemies. After all, we can make money from them!

      That’s because Germany is an European country, the continent that gave birth to western civilization.

      The US is just a former colony. Nobody cares about rebels

        Germany is just some backwater Roman conquest. I don’t know what the fuck you’re on about. Greece gave birth to western civilization, not some wooded hill full of bear worshippers.

        See how dumb you sound?

          The difference is that they are a former colony of the glorious Roman empire, not some islanders
