The less diplomatic version, from German Defense Minister Pistorius: “What does (…) Donald Trump expect a handful or two handfuls of European frigates to do in the Strait of Hormuz that the powerful US Navy cannot do? This is not our war, we have not started it.”

1. So Germany has become more peace loving than

the US. Great.

4. Oh, the irony..........

So much for “The Art of the Deal!”

6. Germany obviously learned something

from its descent into facism and starting a war of choice.

The US, on the other hand...

14. Look what price they had to pay for that lesson

I wish our country could learn faster. Not expecting Trump to be a part of that.

2. Trump sets his sights on renovating Hitler.

We already miss George W Bush.

5. 40K posts? Woo-hoo!

8. If that is true, then

we really haven't learned much, I'm afraid.

3. I think Trump was trying to get them to enter the war...

knowing that his war "strategy" would never work
in the first place.

7. German Defense Minister, "This is not our war, we have not started it."

Yup!

9. Danke!!

[not fooled]

10. And all while krasnov's tech psychopath backers

are trying to subvert democracy around the world, destroy the EU, and push fascism on Europe.

Just more reasons why Germany is not interested in coming to krasnov’s aid now wrt his disastrous war.

11. Don't get me wrong . . .

I am happy that our former allies are not capitulating to the man-baby's demands and bailing his orange a$$ out of the fire!!! Tyrants need to be stood up to, and since our Legislative branch refuses to do so, it's good that someone is. But you know that Vlad is just loving the collapse of our alliances. It will take a long time to gain back the trust needed to work in concert again. And in the meantime, Vlad, with his newly released oil revenues will go on to invade more countries.

12. Makes me wonder.... would Dump ever rely on competent negotiators to get out of this?

No matter the outcome, he'd claim total victory - so his deplorables can have something to lap up. Any dis-satisfaction he has will be blamed on the negotiators instead of his own greed, stupidity, and weakness.
