I am sorry but until you live in America I don’t think you should have any opinion.
The rest of the world will stop having an opinion on American politics once America stops fucking with the rest of the world. Sure, Trump and his love of nuclear weapons certainly wouldn’t have an effect on the rest of the world. Or you know when you decide to attack the Middle East again because oil or some “we shall bring them democracy and freedom”-bullshit….
They don’t get a vote, but they sure as fuck can voice their opinions all they want.
…literally the US has made damn sure that it matters to the rest of the world, so yes, the rest of the world does get to have an opinion on our bullshit politics
germans: ok, so our country is called Deutschland
the french: got it. the country of Allemagne
germans: …no? that doesn’t even sound like it
the english: oh no, we got it, it’s Germany
germans: not even close
the polish: it’s Niemcy, right?
germans: how are you each getting it wrong in a completely different way
danes: Tyskland
lithuanians: Vokietija
slovakians: Nemecko
germans: …
finns: Saksa
germans: you know what? sure. whatever
Now that Angela Merkel is running against a pro-Kremlin stooge, you’ll never guess which transparency crusaders dumped a whole bunch of hacked documents making her look bad.
Does it matter why the documents were leaked or does it matter that the BND is doing shady Stasi level shit?
Dude, OP is using the same kind of lazy ad hominem or ergo decedo attacks that Clinton supporters used against WikiLeaks.
Let’s be crystal clear here, even if some Russian hacker got those documents under less than ethical means, that doesn’t mean that government officials should get away with wrongdoings just because the “other guy” did something wrong too.
Lol, I love it when people on the internet use the latin names of logical fallacies as magic spells to win the argument. Here’s a funny foreign word for you: realpolitik. Russia will advance its interests by any means necessary, and will steamroll over other countries’ sovereignty to do it. That includes yours.
Do you honestly think the right-wing politicians he’s allied with wouldn’t have extremely shady things in their emails or other correspondences that would turn people off? Don’t you think it’s a little odd that Wikileaks only ever attacks one side, and it’s always the side making Putin’s life more difficult?
And what was Merkel’s crime? She worked with the NSA. Newsflash: allies share intelligence. If there are terrorist cells in Germany, it’s in both our interests to track them. But putting this necessary semi-evil in the spotlight will dissuade the left part of her coalition, just like another powerful woman running for office whose name escapes me at the moment.
Angela Merkel just said she’ll offer Donald Trump cooperation, on the basis that he respects people’s dignity no matter the place of birth, colour of their skin, beliefs, their sex, sexuality or their political convictions.
So….I guess germany and the us just broke up?
Merkel basically said “Cut your racist and sexist bullshit and then maybe I’ll talk to you”.
She’s doing more than that. In the German original she speaks of the Würde des Menschen – The dignity of man. That’s the first line of the German constitution:
Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar- The dignity of man is inviolable.
She’s literally throwing the book at him and reminding him she’ll only work with him on the terms of the constitution.
I mean, I disagree with her on quite a few things, but I’m very happy with her response.
