Shroeder chose a path of isolation and that's what he's gonna get. No more protective US military umbrella for you, Germany. Looks like you'll have to actually build an army capable of defending your own asses. To fund it, you might have to raise taxes even higher than economy choking levels they are at right now.. You probably would need to cut funding for the millions of bums you have on government dole. Needless to say, sacrifices must be made. But if your government doesn't collapse from it's own dead weight, I have every confidence that after ten years of massive milirtary re-industrialization, you might acheive advances that put your military capabilities somewhat on par with the US.... from the 1970s.

If anything happens, you could probably defend yourselves for a few years. But if the unthinkable ever happens and you need our help, don't call us, we'll call you.

The days of an ungrateful Europe sucking off the US military teet are over.
