The truth about everything will unfold slowly
Because Germany is a vassel state so the US can do what it likes in Germany and there is nothing the Germans can do. Bit like the gas pipe the US blew up
The terrorist base
"We're all living in Amerika… it's wunderbar."
“scutage” means payment made by a vassal to his lord in lieu of military service.
Watching the trump thing I fully understand how a person can become confused by the lie called nationalism…
Named after the incredible rock band 😛
Futile efforts to rule the World.
Germany is not an independent country
To keep a close eye on them after they went 0 for 2 a few years ago
I don't think Rammstein really exists. It's just a very successfull TV show📺
Germany and Japan are still occupied after 79 years post WW2 , grow up and tell the Americans and UK to leave .
Waste ….
Occupied Germany
Why did the USA government had to build such a massive military presence in Germany if fascism was already defeated? Why did the USA became the police of the world?? The coming years after the defeat of the nazies the USA became dependent on war to sustain the economy of the USA and capitalism. Imperialism was the product of that dependence.
