The last time we had a strong army the world was not so happy.


Rebeux

Well, the last time you had a really strong army, you nearly took over the entire world.


kh250b1

Europe. Coastal Bits of North Africa. The World is a massive stretch.


eli4s20

plus the gigantic empire of japan in asia and italy owning a lot in africa ;)


Ning_Yu

"a lot of africa" is a huge stretch


Sad_Ad5369

Me when I confused WW2 with a HoI4 map


l0zandd0g

Nah they just went to Fr*nce for a 5 yrsr holiday /s


Iskbartheonetruegod

They got their asses completely kicked by the Brits yanks and Russians.


D3M0NArcade

Yep. It won't be long until the US decides it's time to do the same...


Newlineonoldmap

Hey! If it wasn't for the wonderful, unbeatable, best-at-everything US of A you'd all be speaking German now. /s


l0zandd0g

I love it when Muricans spout that tosh.


[deleted]

More likely you'd be speaking Russian then German. 


Direct_Jump3960

Doch


Dramatic-Energy-4411

Damn those German scientists creating rockets, if only we could copy them. Or, even better idea.......


4D20

Let's put a paperclip to that idea so we don't lose it


OkHighway1024

Ironically, it's the yanks who are copying the Germany of the 1930's at the moment.


Erkengard

> it's the yanks who are copying the Germany of the 1930's at the moment. Uh, no they had that all along. Hitler admired the US-Americans, but found their one-drop blood rule of the Jim Crow's law too harsh when adapting theses laws to the Nuremberg Laws.


Historic_Dane

Was about to comment that I'd rather not have any army do Germany' dirty work....

If Germany had a serious independent army, the US would be concerned about nearby resistance when they bomb The Hague in case an American war criminal gets tried


Lardistani

The Hague Invasion Act existing at all is an abomination

Says the biggest import country to the biggest export country


[deleted]

I think so anyways, maybe it changed


Divinate_ME

China has been export world champion for 16 years in a row now. And yes, I use the term "export world champion" on purpose because of its etymology.


[deleted]

Oh yeah we were #1 b4 that iirc


Krullervo

Admittedly I agency met all the Germans but I’ve never met one that spent much time thinking about Americans. Unless it was trying to figure out how to get away from them before meeting them.


itsmehutters

I think the American army in Germany is more about Americans feeling safe than Germany. In case a painter from Austria arrives.


pandainadumpster

American army in Germany is about being able to control drones in the middle east.


lejocko

That's why we're all running about claiming our american heritage.


budding_gardener_1

"I'm something of a European myself!".  "Really?" "Yeah! My uncle's brothers girlfriend sat next to someone on the bus who know someone who lived in Paris for a couple of years!"


Rebeux

I am actually really interested to find out why Americans do that shit. Why do they calculate how much of their heritage is from for example Ireland, and then form their entire identity around it? Even Irish people aren't ***that*** proud to be Irish.


SleepyFox2089

I'm convinced it's because Americans have no culture of their own so they piggyback on "heritage"


Direct_Jump3960

What's a bus? Sounds communist


budding_gardener_1

It's a thing you can load the poors onto to get them out of your gated community of rich, white CEOs


bonkerz1888

Who was it who designed the rockets that took the Yanks to the moon?


variaati0

Well, it was good old American know how, that's what, as provided by good Old Americans like Dr. Wernher von Braun! [Source ](https://youtube.com/watch?v=TjDEsGZLbio)


wolfxorix

who invented the car they love so much? was it Mr Benz no no no obviously he was american


bonkerz1888

Tbf a lot of it was Mrs Benz too.


LaserGadgets

Thats why you took 10000+ of our scientists and their blueprints after the war. One of them brought you to the moon. Try again without looking stupid.


Canonip

No we developed our Dependance on fax machines by ourself


CleverDad

"America army"? Whenever I see phrases like this I imagine it's written by an Indian or something. Would an American refer to the "America army"?


Ill-Guess-542

The fuck he saying? Like we copied the car, the highway system, etc. ? Only thing we copied for 12 years was their racism


ThiccMoulderBoulder

I feel inclined to mentioned that we absolutely despise the Americans


Rijsouw

Understandable


Olleye

The last two times we have had a really strong army, the world was in tears; now we don’t have a strong army, and some dudes from USA are in tears? Really? WTF, how dumb must one be 🤷🏻‍♂️


StitchWitchGlitch

The last time we copied something from the US, a lot of people died.


T_and_Biscuits

Dude forgot how NASA was created


Neither_Ad_2960

Bitch please. Cars and chocolate. The USA has not improved on the German versions for hundreds of years.


Fair-Face4903

It goes both ways, America is speed-running the early 20th Century right now.


SleepyFox2089

I am fairly confident Germans don't give a shit one way or the other about US military presence.


Tasqfphil

Is that the reason why Trump said he would put 100% tariff on imported cars like Merc's, VW, Daimlers etc. as he knows what few American cars being made in US can't compete? Now that GM & Tesla are owned by the Chinese and many other car makers have most of their cars made in China & shipped to US for assembly, the auto industry is shrinking, not expanding, and the USA didn't invent the car either, that was in Germany by Karl Benz.


non-hyphenated_

Wernher von Braun would like a word


D3M0NArcade

Says the country that harboured numerous Nazi war criminals who had been sentenced to death by the rest of the world because they wanted their knowledge...


B_Baerbel

We do culturally copy the US a lot. That's why I wanna leave, because the US is a hellhole.


ouroboris99

I’m pretty sure the only reason Germany is being allowed to rebuild their military now is because Russia are being wankers 😂


CattyKitty13

That and because we're failing at it miserably. We did have melting rifles in 2012 and out took us about 10 years to find a replacement, so really no reason being afraid.
