What Russian trolls want you to believe:

Germany is building up a massive military force to take over Europe. The Nazis are back! This is WWIII. 😱

Reality:

Germany is facing mass unemployment and deindustrialization, does not have a functioning road or train system, bridges all over the country are crumbling, has no military service and a defense as small as Italy's despite a ⅓ more people, has no real information or security service, has a decrepit and unsecured electrical grid, and has _no emergency supplies_ of energy, generators, food, or medicine.

It has nothing. It literally has absolutely nothing. Zero zip nada.

It took years to even setup an emergency warning system and it still doesn't work, properly. There is a seemingly endless supply of work-shy and disproportionately violent foreigners flooding into the country, and a never-ending stream of productive, peaceful citizens leaving to get away from them.

You can cut one power cable in the German capital and take out a whole suburb for a week, and the city can't even figure out how to organize emergency shelters, lighting, or a soup kitchen for the residents.

Yes, we need to spend more money on this stuff. Unfortunately, a lot of the money that was supposed to go toward this is being spent on social welfare, woke/lefty NGOs, refugee whatever, and other vote-buying. Surprise, surprise.

In other news — completely unrelated to the Union doing whatever stupid stuff the SPD says — the AfD is now at 26%, making it the most-popular party in Germany. They are rapidly making headway by promising to do amazing things like figure out how to keep the lights on and the border controlled.

And somewhere in Ukraine a disgruntled low quality painter is gathering momentum and must be stopped with Special Military Actions. Forgive my distasteful comment, but some people seem to have Putin’s Phallus so deep-throated is impeding the oxygenation of their blood, and therefore their ability ...

I'm hearing this for the first time. Usually all the trolls talk about Europe's fragmentation, its complete dependence on the United States, and the relocation of all major German manufacturing to the U.S. The main message that "Europe is decaying" is already perceived as a meme, and when I see pho...

Same is true for almost every European country. Betrayed by the boomers who first sucked it dry, and then became more decadently left-wing as they got to the later stages of life, almost as if they were seeking an ideology to fit with their selfish decisions (debt, immigrants, budgetise the military...

How much of this is regional? I spent about 10 days in the Munich area last year, my son was in school there for a semester. He lived in a small town about an hour southwest of Munich. While I can see Munich having issues due to its size , the rest of the places we went seemed “ok”.

But you have to admit, it's fun! And it gets even more fun when you realize that people are paying for this woke communism around them. On the other hand, Germans return bottles and think they are saving the world. I also like German bread. The Germans know how to make it. But there is a chance th...

The truth is that Germany is bleeding taxpayers to fund Israel and destroying its own economy to launder that money so a handful of politicians can get rich at the expense of citizens. Exactly like USA, UK, Canada, Australia etc. are doing. Germany is Israel's second largest funder after USA and...
