    many words

    First hand knowledge:

    It's the tax office in Kusel causing the problem, not Kaiserslautern. Apparently the problem started '18 with new leadership in Kusel. Go figure.

    OSI :pissed: don't even get me started...

  2. The Germans finally woke up:

    https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/27/scholz-germany-pledges-defense-spending-increase-in-shift-in-strategy.html

    "Germany is committing 100 billion euros ($112.7 billion) to a fund for its armed services and will ramp up its defense spending above 2% of its gross domestic product, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said during a special session of the Bundestag on Sunday.

    It has become clear that “we need to invest significantly more in the security of our country, in order to protect our freedom and our democracy,” Scholz said."

    "Germany could purchase U.S. F-35 fighter jets built by Lockheed Martin (LMT.N) to replace its ageing Tornado in the role of nuclear sharing, Scholz said."

    You mean like the dude on this forum talking about what happened to his GPS and VHF systems. Brilliant to mention that here of all places.

    Do you even know what a SIGINT Analyst does? Has nothing to do with any topic that was discussed. That's what happens when you assume...

    Keep talking.

    Enlighten us.

    1.) I didn't quote anyone. However, the provided quote was endemic to German thought. I've worked closely with the German government in a security cooperation position and the provided thought process does not surprise me. 

     

    2.) What roof? You mean the collapsed plywood on the mud hut in September of 2001? Yeah that was like that when we got there. 

     

    1.)  Wait what? You did highlight that part of the article. Seriously?! But anyway, I've worked in a similar position with the Germans so i have a vague idea on why you see it that way. But I have totally different opinion on that.

    2.) Okay, i totally deserve that one for being a smart-ass. :beer:

    This is what frustrates me so much having worked with NATO. They realise the US cannot just leave NATO or Europe will pivot support to the CSCE and the US will lose its role in shaping European security, an undesirable outcome. So they milk us for everything we have to secure their own interests. 

    So you quote a guy that is the political equivalent of the county administrator of Tom Green County ,Texas. out of an Article written by a pizza delivery dude who is pumping out 5 Articles a day for a Online Newspaper owned by a guy who was banned from twitter after writing he wanted to see Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray beheaded in front of the white house,as i quote: "as a warning to bureaucrats"

    Ooookay...

    Also you're essentially saying you want the NATO to step up and rebuild a house we've blown the roof off over the last decade. Check.

    Tell that to the various member states (ie Germany) that pay ZERO for the treaty, all while our tax payers foot the bill for our allies to ride on.

    No one is advocating for abolishing NATO, just asking a little more of our allies.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-44717074

    WE: 22% | Germany: 14.76% | France/UK: 10.5%

    But don't let facts get in your way.

    Disclaimer: I really think the germans need to step up their defence game, but this is getting ridiculous.
