Mi> Here in germany the prices exploded because of two things:
Mi> Corona & the war in the ukraine...
Problems in Germany are more multilayer than just blaming Corona and
Russian invasion of the Ukraine (as that how it should be properly named to
point who to blame for it in the first place).
Immigration politics blew in your faces, NordStreams and other gas deals with
Russia blew in your faces... as nobody in the Baltic Sea area wanted them
in the first place and you just tried to trick your Eastern neighbors
together with Russians, against general interest of EU as whole... if that
project didn't start and any trading with Russia had to continue through
Ukraine, we would have no war in the first place. So you can kiss Schroeder's
ass for your current inflation, my friend.
All the social politics still exploited way too much by the former DDR
part of your country that still is not compatible with Western Germany ethos
it seems.
Germany is not one consistent country like it would like to show itself to
the world... You're internally so divided and moments of weakness in the
world like we have today just exposes that heavily, yet many of you still
think you can lead EU toward its better future while you can't secure your
own.
Germany is not a voice of Europe for a while and that is also a big
surprise to many of you.
First of all there is no single voice of Europe and that what also recent decade
has shown very well (With Brexit included).
Your cars are crap comparing to their past glory. Chinese BYD is superior
to Audi in many ways... And even on top of your tech.. Czechs currently make the
best German cars (Skoda) not Germans.. so I'm not suprised for closing the
plants, maybe moving them to more competent engineering countries can help
rescue the position... I drive SKoda and if they only could just fucking replace
the crappy DSG transmission to some tech other than VW as electromechanics in it
can't stand 60k KM without serious life risking failure.
I live in Poland, work with Germans and I am quite often in Germany since
like forever... (if I can call Mahmud, Mayur and Ermanno Germans tho, so more in
German territory than Germans these days, unless in small town Bavaria, Turks
from the 80s fairly included, often good fellows), and I can't fucking drive
100km on your highways without seeing reconstructions taking long years... the
most famous one - A4 close to Dresden, you can't repair 30km of the crucial part
of the belt road, heading west, for 15 years now... primarily because of the
bureaucracy you're so famous of, internationally, plus this is Saxony...
and as "meinen Bayerische Freunde haben gesagt: Sachsen Leute, andere Leute"
which just proves there is no unity between Germans if you're close enough to
discover.
I live in Poland, which is currently, I think, the most Trump-compatible country
in EU and albeit inflation and turbulences... we're still growing and with
completely different view on the EU politics and problematics than DE, which in
our general opinion lost its vision for the future and together
with France is putting EU into its doom.
So ...
Mi> Here in europe most of "us" think, his 2nd period of office/terms will
Mi> get even worse.
... Is actually not the case.
My opinion is that electing this or that US president is the right of American
people, not anybody else... and if anybody outside US, particularly in Europe,
cries because of the results, it only means that that particular country and EU
as a whole is weak... not Trump particularly strong.
Problem solving should start home not by commenting other countries with
negativity.. and this is actually what Trump understands well as I hear him.
I strongly believe it will be an interesting wake up call for Europe or a final
confirmation that it doesn't work and should be reformed or disbanded. I still
believe the last scenario would be really bad for most Europeans... so I really
hope for the wake up call.
For Americans... I'm sure you'll have hell of a TV Show for the next years to
come. I start making some popcorn and freezing my coke so I'm prepared to
consume it all together.
