Between the failed Trump Assassination and Biden dropping out, Trump's victory seems all but assured.
It is only July.
There's plenty of time for a new candidate to be pushed forward and blitzed in the media. whatever the new candidate is, they're likely to be the most safe and """"presidential"""" option. they're likely going to be young and be soft on climate change policies and DEI. the point will be to create a candidate that could believably be elected, and therefore bring the needle within the margin of fraud.
Make no mistake, whoever they push will continue the policies of the current administration. the only saving grace is that the candidate will be a first-term candidate, and so we'll have to keep up moderate appearances.
the absolute minimum you must do is vote. they will cheat, they will steal, but having a low voter turnout makes the steel all the more believable. The numbers must remain outside the margin of fraud in order to have a chance of a peaceful resolution to this political bullshit.
voting is free and far from the only thing you can do to bring about political change. If you don't vote, then you are just a lazy faggot and your opinions are worthless.
What is Germany going to do? Send its two divisions armed with their training brooms?
Rivals? They're your puppets. But it speaks volumes that the US wants to weaken us (further).
It's called the Wolfowitz doctrine. Wikipedia pretends it was only policy since the 90s but that's not true, that's just when it leaked, Americans have been doing it since WW2, with things like the Avro Arrow project in Canada or the British space program.
If I remember it correctly, it's always been American policy. Hell, WW1, WW2 and the Cold War were, as Mearsheimer describes, nothing but an attempt at preventing a run at hegemony by Germany (twice) and the Soviet Union.
The issue is that the pathetic bleating sheep called Europe is in no position to become hegemon of anything.
Woah, I control Germany?
Beyond Civilization I don't think that's true.
But if Germany is a US vassal, then why is the US paying tribute to Germany for its defense? I think Germany is in the driver's seat of that power dynamic, unfortunately.
What could Germany do? Well, purchase arms for Ukraine obviously.
Why did Great Britain pay 'tribute' to the American colonies for their defense?
Leaving aside that there is no evidence for that, by what mechanism could Germany possibly do that?
I think they're purchasing more than enough weapons for the Nazis and fascists there, considering their history.
Great Britain didn't pay anything to the colonies. The whole driver of the revolution was the taxation of the colonies.
Monetary. German banks largely control the EU and world banks.
You asked what they could do, not what you personally want to happen.
If you don't know the history, maybe calm down just a bit. The expenditures of the British for American defense were greater than the pittance the Americans paid in taxes, but this is not exactly uncommon for empires.
Big if true. As far as I can tell, Germans don't even control themselves and let their pipelines be blown up by the Muricans.
Yes, pointing out that they don't do "as little as possible", but in fact obey the Americans like the puppets that htey are.
