    That is not true. We simply had not build a proper storage bunker yet. Now that it is finished the gold will come back home.

    I just wonder if you will sleep at night after knowing that diesel engine in tank Merkava also is made in Germany.

    You're right to be glad it's going back to Germany. Certainly nobody in their right mind would trust the US, the UK, or France with hard gold in this day and age. What would Germany have to do if Hillary decided it wasn't leaving the country? It would take years of litigation and cause panic in financial markets.

    IMO not only should Germany repossess it's property, but it should insist that the United States pay gold for it's imports. What happens to the value of lease agreements when the hyper-inflation starts in 2025, which is shall, because that's when the 170,000 billion dollar bills for unfunded liabilities starts to come due for the US. There's no escaping that.

    Oh, and given that King Obama as been eviscerating the US military, the chances that Russia might decide to waltz in and possess Western Europe are rising. What's Europe got to stop them?

    Vietnam was a gift from the DemocRATs running Congress in 1975 to their friends the Viet Cong, it was in no way a military loss by the United States. US combat troops had been out of that conflict for two years when Saigon fell.

    Iraq was a solid victory, handed over to King Obama, Fascist and Traitor (you know about fascists, don't you?) in good condition. Being a traitor, King Obama deliberately sabotaged the Status of Forces Agreement re-negotiation to destroy the only working Arab muslim democratic republic. Again, the Iraq situation was a solid military victory thown away by traitor DemocRATs.

    And, finally, the Mayor could win the conflict in Trashcanistan fairly simply. Tell the Trashcanistanians that we're tired of their bull(*)(*)(*)(*), and then poison every hectare of croplands in the country so that not one blade of grass, not one stalk of corn, not one poppy flower could grow anywhere in Trashcanistan...and then leave. It's how all nations that harbor terrorists should be treated.

    That's interesting. Where's Germany get it's natural gas and oil from again?

    What do you feel is going to happen the US trade balance when the United States gets it's Stupids out of political office and starts tapping into it's ten trillion barrel petroleum reserve, it's world dominant coal reserves, and it's gigantic natural gas reserves?

    Also, there's no reason you should believe anything King Obama, Fascist and Traitor says. The Americans don't believe him, why should you? He's the reason the US is underperforming so badly.

    Oh, and one other thing. When the US finally gets it's head out of it's ass, what is Germany going to do to protect itself when NATO is dissolved and the US forces in Germany take their dollars home?

    Think, Boy, THINK!

    The US trade deficit has nothing to do with it's economic troubles. The average annual budget deficit under King Obama is some 900 billion dollars. A trade deficit of 40 gigabucks is less than 5% of that. The US economic problems aren't caused by trade imbalances and won't be cured by trading....creating a 900 billion dollar trade surplus is flatly impossible.

    Your apples to oranges comparison doesn't work.

    Yeah....Germany moved it's gold to the US to play keep-away with the Russians. What's to stop the Russians from shutting the natural gas valves when they feel like it? What's to stop the Russians from turning their natural gas into what used to be your gold?

    You're busy bragging about the success of a minor country with little or limited natural resources and trying to compare it to a continent spanning nation with immense if poorly exploited natural resources....a country that might get tired of BMW's and Mercedes and Volkswagens if Germany got too annoying. How would your trade surplus look then?

    You failed to address the fact that Germany doesn't have a military force worth discussing. Who's going to pay for your freedom when the US finally comes to it's senses and takes it's troops out of Germany? The only reason the US still has forces in Germany is the affinity the American generals have towards Octoberfest. Clearly the US can no longer afford to defend nations that have such massive trade surpluses as you boast of, so it's only a matter of time before the US starts telling Germany to defend itself, isn't it?

    Naw, Detroit looks more like Berlin in 1945. Hiroshima was planed flat and didn't need artificial street lighting, the streets glowed.

    Germany's economy is dependent on the good will of it's suppliers of natural resources. You should look to what the US did to the Japanese in the late 1930's, or to what OPEC did to the US in the 70's, before you start believing energy poor Europe is going to fare well in the later parts of the 21st century. Fracking may change that a little, but not completely.

    Ah. Zeppelin's versus Shuttles.

    Do tell, how many space shuttles has Germany built? Flown? Copied? Taken pictures of? Seems to be that only one nation on earth had the resources to build and operate a shuttle fleet. Got any idea which nation that was? Yep, we all know that King Obama, Fascist and Traitor, killed the US manned space program. Do tell, which of our respective nations, if it needed immediate domestic access to space, is best equipped to get the bird flying first?

    We have an empire at hands, the entire EU is our protectorate. We have nuclear weapons at hand for self defense. Face it, nobody would be insane enough to attack germany or any other member of the EU. Thats the simple fact. And we need no soldiers. Wars aren´t won with soldiers anymore. Just look at Ukraine. We spit in Putins soup and rip Ukraine out of his influence.

    As for the Space Shuttles, they were designed and build from germans scientists, as was your entire space program. So tell me, why wasn´t USA capable to create minds to build something like the Saturn V or the Space Shuttle?

    So how much Space Shuttles have germans build? Germans build 6 Space Shuttles. Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour. The only Shuttle where no german had his hands on was the russian Buran.

    NASA was aware of that. One mission was even controlled from germany, STS-61-A. Space Shuttle Challenger was controlled from the city Oberpfaffenhofen.

    [​IMG]

    So tell me, why was NASA unable to ever build something like that themself?

    I see the german use of the big lie is still popular. 127 germans defected from their carpet bombed useless little country and over 12,000 Americans have worked as scientists at NASA. Once the US fully supplies our own energy we will have little need for a military presence in either the mid east or Europe at which point the great cathedrals of Europe will be converted to mosques.

    Yeah, that's what Poland said in 1939, wasn't it?

    Do explain, if the European Union is so wonderful, why it waited for the United States to clean up Europe's mess in Serbia?

    So you brag about the handful of nuclear weapons the EU has for it's defense....care to identify those germans that helped invent those weapons, and explain why they weren't in Germany? What was the one nation with the resources to build the prototypes of those weapons, and, do tell, which nation was the cause of the urgency driving the completion of those weapons?

    So you never realized that Werner von Braun was a US citizen when Apollo was built and launched? How many moon missions has Germany made?

    And you were never informed that Spacelab was CARGO, not a space vehicle?

    How many German space vehicles have human footprints all around them as they rest on the moon?

    The Buran....oh, you mean the copy-cat shuttle that never once flew a man anywhere?

    Germany makes cars. That's so impressive.

    To someone.

    Don't worry, we are not interesting in conquering anything, let alone decaying sнitholes like EU. Especially that anus germoney.

    Yeah, that indegnious design, which made a take off, flight and landing on full auto without any human intervention. Something US could only dream off till x-37. Have you ever noticed that you are always lagging behind of us in space tech?

    Wernher von Braun was abducted into the US and was forced to stay there. He never liked it there and was forbidden to return to germany. You should read his own biography.

    We have a german space vehicle resting on Titan. You know, the biggest moon of Saturn.

    We make cars? You seem to forget, that we also make satellites, space telescopes, modules of the ISS, the largest passenger airplane of the world, the first fusion reactor...and so on.

    We are leading in science and engineering. Thats a simple fact. Germany is High Tech nation No. 1. We plan a base on the moon. You don´t even have a manned space flight program anymore.

    But thats not your fault. With your weak economy and a society that praises idiocy i expect nothing else.

    P.s.: I´m not a fan of the russians but even NASA admits that Buran is a superior design.

    Sure Buran was a superior design. The Russians didn't have to spend any money doing the basic research. Who can't improve what they didn't invent, especially when the design deficiencies were already published in the American and Western technical press?

    Admiral Rickover was invited on a tour of one of the earliest Soviet nuclear submarines. He was surprised as how much those boats looked like the Nautilus on the inside...because the American media had been granted full access to the Nautilus and the Russians copied. Got any idea why the Little Joe atomic bomb was built so quickly? Come on, you can guess, can't you?

    Werner was "abducted"? No, he was a POW of special interest....and, as anyone who's read The Rocket Team knows, von Braun made the personal choice to be "captured" by the Americans instead of the Russians. He came to the US using what little choice he had in the matter.

    Titan? You mean the EU atmospheric probe with the radiometric experiment the European programmers failed to tell the system to switch ON the super-stable oscillator, rendering that critical experiment completely worthless? That one? That's almost as funny as the first Soviet Venera probe to reach the surface of Venus. One experiment was a scanning camera, which had a titanium lens cover that was supposed to pop off after landing and give the camera a chance to scan around for a full panoramic view. That experiment worked perfectly. There was another experiment on that probe, a ground penetrator arm that was supposed to fall down and measure the impact toughness of the venusian soil. That instrument also worked perfectly. It managed to travel fifty million miles and the Russians spent however many rubles the instrument cost them....to discover the toughness of terrestrial titanium lens covers. The second successful venera probe had a tether on it's lens cap. Care to discuss the differences between orbiting American men around the moon in versus orbiting Soviet turtles?

    Yes, Germany makes cars. Germany has no commercial fusion reactor supplying electrical energy on a public grid. So far the only viable uses for fusion power is rapid hole digging, and that is frowned upon by the general public.

    Except, of course that the US space shuttle has always had the ability for autonomous landings...but for some reason the HUMANS aboard the ship want to hog all the fun and fly the brick themselves.

    Do tell, outside of gulags, what has Russia invented? The Rubik's cube was a Hungarian invention.

    you are wrong, the space shuttle could not land unmanned. That was integrated later in the 90th.

    We are superior in engineering. Do you even construct anything anymore?

    Oh yeah? Who told you that? When this ability was tested?
    Oh, poor uneducated yankee.

    Also no such thing as gulags. GULAG is an acronym for "Main Camps Administration".
    Speaking about labour camp, it is hard to say who first invented it. Labor of prisoners were commonly used since day one.
    But you can be proud of inventing concentration camps for your fellow Americans during your civil war, tho.

    Can't blame you for your ignorance. Your education system is solely aimed at producing of dumb consumers, thus most of "your" inventiones are made by 1-st generation migrants.

    Well, this posts doesn't worth a penny.
    Buran has completelly different engines layout.

    2 boosters and a fuel tank+engines of the Space shuttle itselv vs 4 boosters and a main propellant rocket .

    Perhaps if you were not so much into copying our Yak-141 in your F-35C you would be able to understand....

    You mean like the Hubble, Chandra, COBE, GRO, and James Webb Space Telescopes (talk about an amazingly complex structure...)? How many rovers and landers have all the other nations on earth successfully landed on Mars? Oh, that's right, the sum total is zero. Which nation has probes (note the plural) exploring the interstellar heliopause?

    Your country doesn´t even have a functional transport system. Btw Hubble was also build from ESA. How much spacecrafts do you have landing on a comet? oh thats right...ZERO!

    As for Mars...Mars is totally uninteresting and NASA wastes funds on thise barren desert rock. We concentrate on Jupiters moons. We send our JUICE Space Craft.

    Btw. congratulations for this:
