German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Monday criticized the United States for going into the Iran war without any strategy, saying this also makes it harder to end the conflict.

    The US is being humiliated and embarrassed by their low IQ, corrupt, no class, narcissistic president. Good job American voter, good fucking job 👏 👍. Can’t wait to see who they vote in next 🙄😬

      We were thinking maybe the Ultimate Warrior, or Jared from Subway. Hell, maybe even an inanimate object, like a balogna sandwich, or Melania.

      Either way, the next season of America is going to be lit.

            Actually no. “At least we are not Nazis anymore” isnt worth shit. Germany owned their past pretty well if you ask me, much better than the US with the confederacy or native Americans. They deserve to complain about their leadership in peace.

              German democracy isn’t “winner takes all”, it’s the opposite, they need to form a coalition and nobody likes them enough to do it, so these numbers aren’t as scary as they could be. Still, terrifying, but not immanently so

            Nazis never achieved absolute majority of the vote. Only after being enabled by the “conservative right” did they basically abolish the state and founded a new one where only 1 party was allowed.

            I really want to disagree with you, but Kiesinger was a literal Nazi and Kohl was blatantly and openly corrupt.

    Conservatives at least in the US have a kink for humiliation. Just the most recent big example being Kristy Nome’s husband. Which, hey; enjoy your kinks. Not here to admonish anyone for their kinks. Just for violating consent and making everyone else a party to it.
