razer Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Germany started wars but couldn't win them. Germany created a migrant chaos but can't bring order to it. Germany opened the door to Islamic terrorists but doesn't know what to do with them. So ... what's the point of a German army? This is the leadership of Europe.

personchester Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Yes Germany did not win WW1 and WW2 chiefly due to the activities of UK and US. But Germany did win the previous war which was against France which toke place on 19.07.1870 and ended 10.05.1871.

Rancid Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Another consequence of the Putin menace against Europe. What menace? It's NATO moving up close to Russia's borders not the other way around. So whose prodding who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
