Merz is playing ‘hard to get ‘ which he is definitely not but it might work with the current us administration

And he’d be correct because there’s no reasonable doubt about it. America is being run by a convicted felon who is also a loose cannon, unfortunately. So there’s that…

How can we repair something that the US leadership denies to repair?

Merz is such a useless idiot. Carney has the right idea, Macron has the right idea, and here is Merz playing puppy dog that has been kicked so often it can’t but help and show weakness. Does Merz not understand that Trump does not react to weakness? That weakness only emboldens Trump more? What a bafoon, glad I did not vote for him.

Just stop, move on and stop trying to go back where the us leadership clearly isnt interested in going.

Zero leadership coming from the country that’s supposed to be the most powerful in Europe.

There will be no repairing this until the Trump admin is voted or forced out of office.

Merz just says stuff and won’t act on anything.
Even in his speech roughly 5 sentences later he rowed back and said essentially “but we love you please trade with us 🥹”

The way to repair relations is to get rid of Trump and ALL his dumb dumbs working beneath him.
Trump term 1 had people in his government willing to fact check him and block his erratic ideas. Biggest example being Pence validating the election against Trump’s demands.
Contrast that to JD. He’s 100% be willing to deem that election as a fraudulent election.

The call is coming from inside the house over here. We don’t have anyone sane left at the helm available to take Germany’s call currently. Please leave your name and number and we will hope that this changes after the midterms. 🙏🏼🤞

Don’t worry USA is on it’s way to Iran. This will be a President’s day parade.

Not much can be done with the Pedo/Billionaire alliance running the new American fascsit empire. They don’t want to negogiate. Their goals are not economic or cooperative, they just want to dominate, enslave, maintain the massive wealth gap, and continue to rape children.

It’s going to be a long road. Trust is easy to break and incredibly hard to rebuild, especially when the geopolitical landscape has shifted so much in the last few years. Europe is finally realizing they can’t just rely on the US being ‘predictable’ anymore.

Unfortunately America has no recall mechanism, and the President is a rubber stamp for the reactionary party in control of Congress, so they have a vested interest in not invoking the 25th amendment.

IF i remember correctly, German leadership also was very very lost for a while, but you guys had a pretty easy road back to good faith with the world so i’m not that worried.
do Japan and Germany think we all forgot?

Germany better beef up its defense capabilities. The US can’t be trusted anymore.

Merz has one of the lowest approval ratings of all time. Nearly twice as low as Trump.
This guy shouldn’t be saying anything. He’s a disgrace.

Gonna have to refresh our leadership and tule of law entirely before any foreign relations can improve, simple as that.

As a a Californian I’m wondering if I still need to pay federal taxes if this administration is just going to withhold congressionally-appointed funds as retribution for not voting red.
Something about taxation without representation. Wasn’t there like a war fought over this?

Man, you know things are crazy when Germany is telling the US that their leadership is lost.
I think they know a thing or two of what to look for now.
