After 1945, the first area of European cooperation was the European Community on Coal and Steel, which also included aluminum. Why? Because these things are required for construction and war and the Soviets were right at the border of Europe. It was absolutely paramount for Europe to not become dependent on e.g. US steel and aluminum.
If the US coal, steel and aluminum industry were to shrink to the point that America was unable to sustain its war industry and general constuction without Asian imports, it would make America dependent on foreign powers. It would mean China could effctively shut down the American infustrial military complex.
Why is Trump not making this clearer? Agriculture, steel, aluminum, military equipment, oil and gas and electricity are things that no big power should ever end up dependent on foreign countries.
Dylan Turner
Trump's a fat dumb fuck who's going to destroy this country. As an American, it makes me ashamed to call this country my home.

We have known for over a year that the major power (except Germany) are preparing for a giant war. China, Russia, NK, USA, Poland, Finland, Sweden, UK are all aware of the war and preparing. Germany is decreasing military size and allowing their military hardware to rust away because "We are surrounded by friends." When WW3 happens Germany is going to be absolutely destroyed down to bedrock. There will be no survivors and no sovereign German government ever again. Most of the Middle East is also preparing for world war. Syria, Iran, Saudia Arabia, Israel all mobilizing.
Leo Ortiz
But he is right on tariffs on coal, steel and aluminum.
Julian Rodriguez
When is Trump going to ban overseas imports? He said he would stand up to China, seems scared now
Elijah Rivera
>The European Community on Coal and Steel was created because of the Soviets
You're an absolute brainlet. It was pushed for and created in order to intertwine the German and French economy to a degree that waging war against each other would cripple each countries economy so severely that war became a loose-loose proposition for either side.
America has enough Steel, Coal and Aluminum without importing any
Logan Wright
>Germany is decreasing military size and allowing their military hardware to rust away
Just to be clear, we are the only larger NATO member which is increasing its active soldier count and military budget. True, we are below 2 percent, but the plan is to increase things. The UK is downsizing by 25 percent, France by 10 percent, the US is stagnant with a slight reduction in active soldiers, Canada is downsizing, Australia is, Italy is broke, Spain too.
We are the only ones going from 185k active soldiers to 210k active soldiers by 2025... more than any other EU countries (including the UK).
Jason Price
>. It was pushed for and created in order to intertwine the German and French economy to a degree tha
What the hell? Are German schools really that bad? Don’t they teach anything? The “let’s keep Germany in check by getting them to cooperate in steel and coal” was what people were told back in the 1950s... the reality was that Western Europe was frantically building tanks and defensive military structures to prepare for a conflict with the SU. There is a reason we had 600,000 active soldiers and thousands of tanks in Western Germany!
Carson Jones
It's about more than budget. Germany has almost zero battle ready hardware, tanks, aircraft, or navy vessels. Germany is such an easy target that literally any nation could conquer them with minimal resistance. You elected peacenik gay women and this is the natural consequence.
Owen Walker
Of course there was a fucking reason you dumb fuck, it was the cold war. The EGKS was not created for "building tanks" you don't need a god damn Union for that.
Aiden Flores
Our weakness is more of a political question then anything else. The german population is full of cunts who despise any kind of military and that kind of sentiment is supported by alot of politicians. Our MoD is a women cunt who doesn't know shit. But nobody is ever gonna conquer us. We're part of NATO. Who the fuck is gonna mess with that?
Nathan Peterson
>infustrial
Hunter Brooks
There are many books and transcripts about the discussions around the EGKS. Do some research. The Berlin air bridge in 1948 and 1949 and the Korean war really spooked leaders in Europe. This in combination with the German Wirtschaftswunder made European leaders to agree to the EGKS. Schumann said it was “to prevent war between France and Germany” because he couldn’t really say that it was the Ruskies which were the common enemy... especially because the far left in France and Italy was pretty powerful at the time.
Adam White
That's a huge weakness. Political weakness lost the US the Vietnam war despite overwhelming miilitary superiority and massively superior kill counts in our favor. Germany doesn't have any of those advantages. There will be no Germany in 10 years. You are going to be absolutely destroyed by Russia and other powers. You need to start prepping now. Germany post-WW2 will look like paradise compared to what is coming.
Jordan Collins
>There will be no Germany in 10 years
Bullshit. This is what they said in 1871, in 1919, in 1932 in 1945 in 1980 in 1997 in 2008 etc. We are still here. We have actually fewer problems with migration than the UK, Sweden or France... but we have problems.
Owen Diaz
Women should be removed from politics.
Ryan Mitchell
In those times Germany was still strong. They didn't have feminist cuck leaders who deliberately destroyed the military. Back in those days you still had real military leaders who were strong and capable. You don't have that anymore. Any nation who dismantles the military won't be a nation for long. Germany is already dead.
Owen Sullivan
At least he knows another language, brainlet
Camden Hughes
Get your own shit together before you tell other nations who is going to be dead in 10 years.
Gavin Cruz
I used to be all for economic protectionism, then the government instituted a tax on goods bought from outside the EU and I’m an ancap now
Jordan Adams
and another 8 more of the next Trump-servative administration, considering the regressive left went all-in with the corrupt DNC and failed identity politics designed to divide America.
Robert Turner
>argument about hard military strength >our weakness is more of a political question
you've already lost the war, hans
Kayden Carter
this is good the BEST case scenario however, is if we cut ALL relations with america and their lapdogs the economical damage done by accepting WORTHLESS human garbage from east euro into the EU instead of securing partnerships with Russia is quite high We're all really happy Volkswagen gets to sell some more cars to east euro retards, but it's not worth crashing your minimum wages for and importing LITERAL HUMAN GARBAGE SLAVSHITS cut all ties with jewmerica > start cutting up the elite > military dictatorship
Noah Kelly
We still have a strong military. We aren't at 100% but Germany is at 0%. You are seriously fucked. I'm not trolling or baiting. Germany is in deep shit. You have dismantled the only thing that kept you safe. You think NATO can defend every nation when shtf? We're going to have our hands full. You cucks have falsely believed that America could do everything while you did nothing. You let your military rot away. Now you will pay.
Jack Williams
>no big power should ever end up dependant on foreign countries
That's the argument FOR tarrifs
Camden Edwards
>do you think NATO c-can defend pretty much everyone knows that NATO can't defend shit fuck off outta europe, fatass and go tell the mexicans your doomsday larp-scenarios
Justin Butler

Matthew Foster
NATO could defend the world if we didn't have to subsidize cuck nations like Germany who don't pull their own weight. All these EU gayboy nations thought they could save money by making America do all the hard work. Now WW3 is coming and America has its own borders to defend. All of EU will burn in nuclear fire. There won't be any euro gay cucks left. America will live because America took care of its own shit and didn't try to save money by demilitarizing. All euro cucks need to leave now before it's too late.
Samuel Jenkins
what hard work?
Aiden Barnes
>You cucks have falsely believed that America could do everything while you did nothing. Why yes thank you for bombing the middle east for decades purely because of good-will America wanted to help us. What would we do without you. Get of your high horse and stop pretending you are doing it for anyone but yourself you fucking cunt.

Defense you cuck. It's a word you've never heard. All you hear is your wife moaning as black immigrants fuck her every night. The nuclear fire that will cleanse Europe can't come soon enough. You effeminate gay boy euro cucks deserve the fate you made for yourselves.
Sebastian Wilson
who have you defended?
Dylan Cooper
Enjoy death, cuck. Germany has zero military. WW3 is coming within months and Germany has no way to defend itself. It is already too late. Germany will be a moral lesson for future nations. They will all look at the piles of dead bodies and rape victims and say "Don't ever let that happen to you. Don't be a Germany cuck."
Ethan Foster
this is funny, because everyone agrees that the borderline 3rd world foodstamping shithole that is america, is gonna have a civil war way before anyone else
Hudson Diaz
Fags have been predicting an American civil war for 150 years. Those fags were always wrong. And yet WW3 is on the door step and EU is so weak it can't defend it's borders. EU has armies of raping immigrants destroying it from within. EU allows sharia muslim terrorist gangs to operate freely. EU has allowed its armies to disintegrated. EU is going to break and burn. Weakest place on Earth. It's free for the taking. Anyone can march in and own all of Europe within days.
Leo Smith
I'm a historian and this is actually true
Naturally there is more to it then just that but this is absolutely true
Jack Moore
He defends all of us with his tax dollars because our cuck governments have abdicated their responsibility of defense
Chase Morris
>WW3 is coming within months >WW3 is on the door step How many decades has this been said? We're in permanent detente mode right now. It's going to be nothing but proxy wars and asymmetrical combat situations, something that we allow ourselves to get drawn into FAR more than any of our actual enemies. It's demonstrably clear that we're going to reinvigorate the 80s and 90s African combat theaters and that's going to be our next 20 year quagmire that will do nothing but drain resources and get our boys killed for jew interests. And for what? So that the chinese can make another clean trillion on exploited resources with literally zero ramifications to their own people, while we put our hands in the mud and muck? Fuck, man. Wake up.
Angel James
defends from what? because selling 2nd hand humvees to east european retards, is not defense
Xavier Richardson
Everyone knew WW3 was inevitable. But now is the first time when every important nation has said it's coming and started prepping. Germany of course doesn't know and they'll all die. But America, Russia, China are all getting ready. It's happening this time. The EU cucks will be caught unprepared and they'll be fighting immigrant muslims and external enemies. EU is a lost cause. Russia will be obliterated with nukes. China and America will do final battle for the future of humanity. You can either wake up to the happening or you can die like EU femme cucks.
Thomas Walker
>We're part of NATO. Who the fuck is gonna mess with that?
Hopefully Russia, just as soon as the US pulls out. At this point no nation deserves to be raped to death more than Germany, except maybe Canada.
Jace Flores
Civil war will never happen. The left is far too despondent. Ignoring the whole "nobody on the left owns guns/the military would side with the right" meme, the geopolitical layout of the states is two mixed so that there would be no area like the Deep South where rebels could organize into an actual army.
Lucas Myers
Give us a timeline. People could see the writing on the wall with WWI and WWII. There's contemporary reports the mapped it out and predicted the carnage that would unfold and the ramifications. If you're so sure, let us know what the timeline is, and if you're wrong then you'd have a reason to re-examine your perceptions and hold your logic accountable for mistaken notions.
Caleb Perry
That and there's no clear demarcation point between left and right. First civil war happened between slave and non-slave states. The division was clear and geographical. That's not the case anymore. Urban areas in every state are liberal, rural areas in every state are conservative. There's no clear state to state division for a civil war. It's not like Germany which is such an easy target for any strong nation to take.
Jack Murphy
They are broke going into the midterms and have resorted to censorship.
They are again doubling down on Marxism.
Michael Rivera
Aside from a sudden insane reaction to Chinese expansionism, there's no particular reason for WW3 to break out. We're just going to have more shitty proxy wars and CIAnigger shit.
Jack Ortiz
>no reason Have you not been paying attention? Russia literally announced WW3 is coming. America expanding nuke capacity and military. Chinese is moving troops to NK and Russian borders. India and Pakistan are at each other's throats again. Middle East is exploding with Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and KSA all fighting. Poland is ramping up military armaments. Everyone knows WW3 is coming. It's going to be a brutal war too. The weaker EU nations won't survive. Russia will likely be nuclear glass by the end. India and Pakistan will almost certain nuke each other. The Middle East will be total chaos and slaughter.
Isaac Gomez
I like how you completely sidestepped and the call for a time line of some sort on your claims to back them up.
Aiden Peterson
That's the way that things were headed in 2015-2016, and fuck knows the bankers still desperately want it, but between the White House refusing to enforce sanctions against Russia, not attacking DPRK, and cozying up to China via actions like killing the TPP, I feel like we're not doomed to WW3 anymore.
