WNU Editor: This says it all .... Not even a third of the most important types of helicopters are fit for service.
Proof the Merkel is an unreliable ally.
ReplyDeleteI've been saying it for at least 10 years. I'm pleased to see some are finally catching on.
ReplyDeleteYeah, yeah, the russian gang again trying to saw distrust among allies.. sure, blame ze Germans..."Germany a parasite".. tells you all :) Germany, for your record, has military problems, true.. and they have to pay more (which Merkel agreed to already), but more can be done and must be done, agreed. But calling Germany a parasite. Do you know what a parasite is? This is symbiosis.. not parasitism :)
ReplyDeleteGermany goes as Merkel goes.
ReplyDeleteMerkel is a parasite.
The proof is she is the type of conservative that takes any Leftists idea and then say I can manage that better than you. That is she can manage the decline better.
You would hope with a science PhD the person would be smarter, but alas she is more like a weather vane.
Smith. Like most world leaders I imagine she is really just looking out for her own interests and so the country goes down the drain. Been that way for decades in the USA.
ReplyDeleteMerkel has no interests just ego.
ReplyDeleteShe has no offspring.
She has no need of a job.
She has no need of a nursing home. The fat Fraulein will pull a Kennedy and croak in office.
She literally has no needs except maybe one and that would be legacy. She made a decision to trash that, so we're back to she has no needs/interests.
