    In Peru or Ukraine?  Asking for...me. 

    Both are great trips, really. If your GF/wife is more into, say, a stay at The Grand in Paris then those trips would probably not be fun for her. More history, experiences and closer contact with the native population than the tourist centric flash and razed dazzle of Paris/London.

    Didn’t NowThis disappear from surly? Along with JuniorMiller who seemed super ass backwards about his girlfriend?

    Oh, I’m sure he’s around. It’s a shame, I liked NowThis. We all got our kinks, man.

    Junior Miller moved to New Zealand and decided to go native and finger eleven the US, IIRC. Seems he should hold on that GF like grim death

    I realize taking out the leader of a country is OOB but if he’s got some mental issue (likely cancer or something similar that is impacting his brain) isn’t it incumbent on the world to take his ass out? If he’s not the asshole he was a few years ago and now not even dealing with a full deck, surely we can do that? 

    The US doesn’t assassinate legit country leaders anymore. Hard line on that. 
     

    if they are stripped of their title and  designated “terrorists” however…

    Well, to keep on target with your post, not EVERYONE seems to think he's awful.

     

    it was definitely a deal with the devil and they knew it. They just saw trump as worse and while their needs were very pressing, they also wanted to give a little ‘fuck you’ to the US IMO.

    Being petty is also something the Germans know how to do well.

    Stephen F. Austin "recruited" Germans to colonize Texas. Gave them a section of land if they came with a baby-making spouse.  They were hard working and resourseful. My belief is they made peace w/ the Comanche's because of those traits, and they knew how to brew beer.  Been to Kerrville, Fredricksburg, New Braunfels, Castroville, etc.?

    Yep, that led to 3 major waves of Germans to Texas over the next 100 years

    Fuck Germany. They are the absolute worst. 

    We share more of our American culture with Germany and have more in common with Germans than the English since English manners are mostly derived from the Germanic Courts as their Royal line is in fact German. Somewhat ironic since today their directness is in contrast to the masterful English passive aggression. 

    Germans were also the Royal leaders of Mexico and influenced a great deal of their culture as well.

    Im not trying to tell you to like Germans, rather just pointing out that lots of people in the world view Americans the way we view Germans.

    Totally fair.  But given how weak Germany has been leading up to this, and that their policies which emboldened Putin are a big factor in the entire world being in this situation, I enjoyed that bit of egg on their face.


    yeah, Trump alienated the Germans (no CR speaking from the Germans perspective) also the refugee situation has caused huge pressures internally politically and as Merkel has finally retired many of the people who were vying for her place afterwards felt they could not count on the US like they had in the past. Indeed, they made a deal with the devil.

    while  I’m not making excuses for anybody or their mistakes, I feel like this unfortunate mess will repolarize our allies with us and could lead to some real positives for the world. Ukrainians are literally fighting for all of us right now

    Yep.  As clearly evidenced by the German's top spy of all people being stuck in Ukraine when it kicked off.   If that's not telling of German intelligence I don't know what is.

    While yours is a fair point, I would still bet my money that there was some sort of important dealings concerning the conflict that required him to stay as late as he could. 

    I don’t know terribly much about German intelligence, however, I do know Germans and for them to say that their top spy just wasn’t watching the news for three solid days is most definitely bullshit
