Germany is voting for a new national government this sunday and the next chancellor is most likely going to be a former BlackRock employee who is decidedly on the anti-woke side of the culture war. If Trump "offers him a deal", chances are pretty good that he'll take it.
What does that mean exactly, has our back? How?
- His sword traps the souls of his victims.
  
  Not a clue what that means. Are you just compressing some chit?
- Yeah. The moment American soldiers step foot across the Canadian border what are we going to do? It would already be over. We have no defense against the largest military in the world, and we stand no chance of defending the longest continuous border in the world. We will only be able to fight as an occupied resistance.
  
  So it's just empty blathering then, when this German ambassador says they have our back. Great.
- Do they have nukes? We could use some nukes... anyone have nukes?
  
  The only European countries with nukes are the UK and France (225 and 290, respectively). As of January 2024 the world has ~12,121 nukes. America has 5,044 of them
  
  Let's not talk about German nukes just at the moment, okay?
  
  I think the States have some 🤪
Actions speak louder than words.
- And a mobilized military is the loudest action.
  
  The Germans offering early access to their submarines and offering an arctic defense pact is a great action to see happening.
  
  They're definitely coming across as people of their word to me.
