My dad always used to tell me how the dutch government was jokingly bad at IT & other stuff. But booooooooooooy did i not expect it to be this bad

This would be the opportunity for Europe to establish itself as a global superpower. Just how we spend and build infrastructure during covid/energy crysis, pump a lot of funds into the defense industrial complex and send a lot of stuff to Ukraine, whilst at the same moment build a unified European army.

Trump’s meetings would become meaningless, security would be dictated by the new unified Europe.

Don’t forget germany became the second strongest army in terms of spending in 2023/2024 when germany decided to spend an additional 100 Billion Euros next to its normal military budget on its army, dwarfing China’s and Russia’s military budget, only to be second to the US.

This, combined with unbroken support of Ukraine would inadvertedly make Europe a force to be reconed with and be a fast lane ticket into the footsteps of what the US once was.

But sadly that will not happen because woke people bad and maybe trump would still help us.

German here, I stand with the same statement the from the guy above me that referred to the guy more above.

Anyways - In the first tariff “war” trump unleashed in after 2016 we tried to tariff stuff from the US, but since we don’t import a lot of things from the US, we only had tariffs on Whisky and Jeans (I’m not even joking, this happened).

My grandfather, he had a big garden with lots of plants, had been banned from most of the garden stores within a 20 mile radius of his home because he was known to pick leaves of the plants and make saplings out of them.

When he was 76, we had to pick him up from a local police station, since he insulted the officers whilst picking saplings and being caught for driving without a seatbelt.

I miss him.

As a german citizen: Good luck, and welcome to germany! Hope you have a great time here. There are many very very beautiful small towns which don’t costs much, but are usually still in the vicinity of larger cities. So you usually, if you plan correctly, you get the pro’s of both. Beautiful small historic city and if wanted the buzz of a big city withing an hour’s drive. Cheers!
