Russia (population: 145 million) has a more powerful army than the European Union combined (~450 million off the top of my head), if I recall correctly. And it doesn't really matter if I'm wrong right now, since Britain (the one with an actual army and economy to support it) is leaving.

I, too, would dissolve my alliance with Austria-Hungary in 1914 if I was Germany.

...my multi-quoting Germans is totally not to bait them into replying, I swear

Do you think Germany has an inferiority complex about its army? If it were up to us we wouldn't have a military at all.

Also I take offense that you call Rol a German.

Let's see. I can go to war with Russia, allied with effectively the entirety of the European Union; or I can ally with Russia, and do absolutely nothing because what is there to do?

By the way, I'm pretty sure Rol speaks German, looks German, and acts German. Therefore, he should be considered German. I mean, just because he lives in Ostrich Österreich doesn't mean that he isn't an ethnic German.

I hope people start calling Austria "Ostrich"

The only way Australia is German is if that little quarrel in the 40s ended a bit differently. As a German I insist on that distinction and I'm pretty sure Rol agrees on that.

I still don't get your point about Russia and EU though.

It doesn't matter what they say, but what they do. Obama spoke at the time he was elected about a world free of nuclear weapons. Did anything happen in that direction while he was president? Nope, so let's see what Trump really does.

Trump has started well, now let's hope he doesn't get too much opposition and that he's able to implement his ideas, because he's really trying to change the world to the better.

We have a real chance to get a more exciting, dynamic world where not just a few key states and the Lügenpresse have all the power.

LOL, I don't and I'm fine with giving Rol sanctuary in germany. Only he probably wants to stay in Ostrich.

Woah, the word Lügenpresse made all it's way to Sweden? Not the export I expected our country would made.

Nazi-propaganda is still powerful even ~80 years later

:/ this is unfair

thanks god EU is still supporting Ukraine, and in my opinion EU is doing great in terms of politics, compared to the rest of the world

Merkel > ... > Trump
