Puggie   10 #93 Posted August 12, 2017 Why would Germany get involved? More to point why would we? I love my Samsung telly but Im not prepared to go to war for it!  A few days ago Merkel [was asked] if Germany would support America in the event of war with North Korea.. her answer: "I do not see a military solution to this conflict".  Trump's response: "Maybe she’s speaking for Germany; let her speak for Germany."  US media are now questioning how reliable of an ally Germany would be in the event of war.

Hopefully not - and May can always say nobody jumped in at the falklands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Hopefully not - and May can always say nobody jumped in at the falklands.  Even if the UK's position was similar, Trump wouldn't make a fuss because he knows the UK is aligned with America's FP interests of curtailing Germany's political and economic influence in the region.  The US and UK see eye-to-eye on ze deutschland issue.
