On what will end well and what not – Bret Stephens in NYT:
‘The outreach to the European far right won’t end well. Not least among the problems with parties like Germany’s AfD or France’s National Rally is that they are haters of all things American: our vulgar culture, revolting fast food, rapacious capitalism and imperial pretensions. Perhaps the greatest single achievement of the 20th century was the destruction, both physical and spiritual, of German militarism and the threat it posed to Germany’s many neighbors.
But an America that walks away from NATO while empowering those anti-American parties won’t achieve greater security for anyone, including ourselves. It will lead to a Germany once again led by fascists and willing to arm itself with nuclear weapons.’

Yes, absolutely Germany will have its own nuclear weapons in twenty years from now.
But I’m not sure that Germany will be led by fascists once again.
As to the greatest single achievement of the 20th century, it came a bit late didn’t it, and it was fairly costly.
Did I mention the word ‘Jew’?
