To be honest I don’t have a lot of sympathy for the axis powers because they made a lot of stupid decisions that cost them power and because their interests weren’t aligned with America’s. And they never liked us nor will they like us. War in my opinion was inevitable with the Third Reich because they were autists and eventually we’d piss them off.
Although I like a lot of aspects of German culture they tend to be autistic and become ideologues detached from realism. Whether it’s nazism or their managed democracy they tend to fixate on a specific cause for society’s ill - be it Jews or now their hallucinations of a far right boogeyman. They already somewhat blame America for everything.
The issue is that they see America as a bastion of fascism and the current German state gives organization and funding to antifa. There’s no such thing as unorganized terror and much of the American left was supported first by the Soviet Union and by East Germans. The East Germans, East German institutions, and their bureaucracy didn’t go away when they reunited and they have unfortunately compromised the EU and NATO. The German left use antifa as a way to try to tilt and manage America like how the left manages Germany.
When their left wing government inevitably falls they’re going to blame the left wing policies on America rather than their own retards and they’re going to cozy up to America’s enemies. Even their nationalists dislike America and prefer Russia. Even though the American right tells the German right to deport, deport, deport, unfortunately I believe they will blame us because they associate the German left with the US.
Which is a shame because I like Germans as a people, their food, their music, their architecture , their literature, and they are cousins. I wish they would be more practical and pragmatic but whether left or right they’d rather cozy up to Russia for cheap gas than listen to multiple American administrations about not being retarded by buying Russia’s gas, pushing denuclearization, and importing infinite shit skins while Russia was openly day dreaming about recreating the USSR.
IMO the biggest mistake America made with Germany was allowing it to reunite without punishing the communists and the institutions they created. A key component of reunification should have been the punishment, arrest, and mass execution of Easter German Stasi, communists, and their informants. That it was a bloodless reunification was a major mistake. This allowed the German communists to gain control of the European Union, infiltrate NATO, and allowed for them to sponsor antifa and other far left agitation in the US. Essentially infecting the organs of the European Institutions and poisoning the West. Germany am the world would’ve been a better place if there was a day of the rope for German communists. Their current state government wouldn’t be so gay and we would have less problems in the West in general.
