It turns out ex-Luftwaffe German pilots have been in China training Chinese pilots. How are they supposed to teach the Chinese how to fly flankers when the Germans never had flankers?

it's totally unsurprising to me that the krauts are letting them get away with it. I work in precision manufacturing; Germans are the number two biggest culprits in selling tech to China
I'm told that Italians are number one

>pic
one of the biggest consumer appliances conglomerates in China ($40 billion revenue in 2024, compare General Dynamics' $47 billion) is entirely built off German tech

so the news that krauts were dragging their feet in weapons transfers to Ukraine, buying Russian energy, and letting raping sandniggers flood into Europe did not surprise me in the least

Lol. I have a speculation why China steps with goose-march. When the KMT left most of the "professional" trained soldiers were used to goose-marching (thanks to trickle down culture from the german trained divisions many years ago) so I'd imagine, when they were canabilized into the CCP, it was easier to just keep to goose-marching. Unless goose-marching was just so ingrained into the imagery of the military during the 30's that it just stuck around regardless of alligance.

same reason why Norks and other turdies do; it's the most physically-strenuous march possible while giving an impression of unity (as opposed to more physically-strenuous feats but which allow scope for individuality)

Brits did too, it's embarrassing.
So long as they stay away from classified stuff, it's all more or less legal. You can't tell people that they can't train pilots in another country just because you don't like that country.
If there was a war with China it would be quite different, or sanctions. I often think there should be a legal category of hostile nations that receives partial sanctions to prevent this sort of thing but falling short of it being treason.

They try but that kind are generally not enforceable.
It has to be direct competition before those kinds of clauses stand up in court.

Now some countries do consider their entire flight training to be a classified secret. If Chinese pilots did this in the west then they'd be fucked and almost certainly prosecuted for violating national security.
One Australian/Chinese journalist spent years in prison because she was 15 minutes early reporting some boring government announcement. They lock people up for the slightest bad vibe, training a foreign military that they perceive as a current rival and future enemy would certainly get you fucked.

We could be more like China I guess. I'd prefer to do it with some sort of legislative approach where you know damn well where you stand and if you don’t' like it, you can write to your local representative and lobby to change the law, or the designation of hostile nations.
>>

Do you blame them, Germany eliminated all nationalism and patriotism, and now the expect people to give a fuck about the existence of the nation.

1. Because the German government never passed a specific law prohibiting former pilots from training Chinamen.

2. Many of these pilots have no plans to ever return to Germany, and instead stay in China. So even if the German government tried to charge them with something they would have no ability enforce that charge.

Most German corporations have sold their IP like fucking crazy throughout the Merkel years. Short term monetary gain for long tarm strategic loss.

I could give you dozens of examples, but if you just want one look at Chinese locomotive production.
Some of these cases were not actually german, but technically Canadians pressured by US shareholders making teh decisions.
It still resulted in Germany handing the Chinese 50 years of research in exchange for a tiny little bite of the Chinese market.

And Merkel cheered it all on, like a fucking retard. And don't think that econoimsts didn't warn them that they were committing long-term suicide for short term gains. The C-suite basically just went 'lol, lok at my quarterly report, lmao look at how Imake line go up'

Maximum short term gain, zero resilience, zero strategic planning. most of teh management levels were imported from teh US, or even India. Absolutely horrifiying, unchecked stakeholder capitalism is the worst.

I don't know about the germs but Britain had a scandal where their MoD literally announced that they were no longer going to allow white men to become fighter pilots

If you were a white man in Britain how exactly are you supposed to process that and how should it affect your notion of patriotism?

Their "mild manners" have never been for lack of trying.

Their human wave attacks in Korea didn't work out the way they thought (despite a proclivity to cut throats at night) and when they invaded Vietnam in '78, they promptly got their asses kicked right the fuck back out.

A couple years back the German Luftwaffe had a total of 21 instructor pilots qualified to teach new pilots on the Eurofighter.
7 of those quit their jobs because the readiness of the Eurofighter was so poor that not even these 21 instructors were capable of getting enough flight hours to maintain their instructor rating, and thus faced pay cuts.
As a result, they went into the private industry and found other jobs.
Turns out china pays them handsomely for their expertise.

These individuals have done nothing wrong, they dedicated their life to a country which is ruled by retards who can't even maintain a working air force.

The Eurofighter is in the middle of it's service life, you can go figure what it means to readiness of the pilots and the pilot cadre if you have only 14 instructors left who can train pilots.
Basically by the time they fix this shit the plane will be end of life.
Germany got basically zero time out of the Eurofighter, at no point in time did they both have a working fleet of a reasonable size nor well trained pilots to fly them.

Not invading greenland or canada (and not threatening it either) would be a good start. And taking the side of ukraine in the war. Frankly, a lot of it would just come down to rethorics and not trying to win russia as an ally; it's not happening and it's alienating europe.
Personally, I am actually in favour of all the anti-woke, anti-brown stuff trumpmerica is doing, including supporting right wing parties in europe, so I don't have a problem with that, but many europeans do.

Europeans by and large love the US.
we may act all smug and shit but that's bants or picking on the relatively few things that we don't share.
that being said most Europeans don't have a particularly high opinion of the GOP due to in general being more left leaning.
Trump is managing to turn everyone but the very far right not just against himself but slowly against the US in general.
One of the problems is that just like most Americans never visit Europe and those that do come on two weeks to see everything tours. Most Europeans haven't been to the USA nevermind left the big coastal cities.
so all we tend to have to go on is how our respective media portrays the other/themselves.

Simultaneously, I absolutely do not want that connection severed, while also wanting to see Europe step up in a big way to be able to defend themselves if for no other reason than national pride.
No matter how much we bitch at each other, our ways of life and basic values have A LOT more in common than with Russian ways of life and values. Russia isn't even western, nor is it eastern, it's its own wretched category

I feel like people wondering "why would americans invade greenland" are just as wrong as asking "why did the russians invade ukraine" or "why did germany invade the world". It's not the country, the nation, the populace. It's a single dictator and his yesmen and his loyal media influencing the decision. Most germans did not want WW2 before the propaganda took hold. Most russians did not want the ukraine war. And I don't think most americans want to invade greenland. But america is not a functioning democracy any more. The republican party has all but given up on reining trump in, and trump is a senile narcissist with a few years left to leave a legacy.

I'm being baited, but I feel compelled to speak up. Europe has not been treating us equally and fairly. We have been used as a scapegoat for their domestic issues,we frequently take the diplomatic heat, even when initiatives are European- led, have tolerated a tremendous amount of badmouthing and undermining from Europe, not spoken up when countries like France have committed industrial espionage, did not condemn flirting with hostile anti Western actors, like Russia, 1990s Iraq, the Islamic Republic of Iran, have been forthcoming with sharing technologies like photolithography, and have kept our market fairly open to Europe, despite Europe's efforts to protect its own. Europeans have this notion that they've been perfect model allies and having been holding us up this whole time to their own detriment. This is crap. Europeans have taken their advantageous relationship with the United States for granted for decades. The current spats did not come from nowhere. Europeans need to do some honest self reflection about whether or not their perception of themselves, Americans, and our relationship is reality.

NATO and the Transatlantic partnership is not going anywhere anytime soon. Wait two weeks at most and everyone will forget about Greenland. Europe's panic over a shakeup in Transatlantic relations is emblematic of how they have not been living up to their end of the bargain.

stop cozying with ziggers who have literally nothing to offer other than greed and corruption (they also push migration here)
stop trying to interfere with politics here (at the very least trying to break up the EU), the EU shouldn't interfere with domestic politics in the US

Don't act like any of those are threat to america.

Is america sharing tech with europe?

Sorry, but this all seems incredibly thin-skinned. Just about the only actual grievance (and I don't even know whether it's justified) is unfair trade.

Sensible critiques. Thank you for being honest without being disparaging. I want to do what I can feasibly do to keep the bridge from being burned down. I really think there will come a day where we'll need each other in some shitty existential circumstance
>>
>>64730625
You're wrong on pretty much everything lmfao. You guys constantly use us as scapegoats in domestic issues, such as immigration, and hide behind us in coalitions to take the heat off of yourselves both internationally and domestically. This is extremely blatant to anyone who isn't from Western Europe.
>Don't act like any of those are threat to america.
LOL
>Is america sharing tech with europe?
Yes, retard, photolithography is prominent example.

The whole trade thing as far as I understood it back during the whole tariffs shit was based on a ton of misunderstandings about the source of trade imbalance (EU has goods, US has services), even shit lite VAT being misunderstood. A ton of criticizing the EU for regulating too much which doesn't really sit well with anybody living here because they really just don't want to buy shit that doesn't follow standards. People talking about people not buying american cars, which are often way too big to fit on a lot of streets, parkings and so on that exist here, and more.
Combined with the whole sweeping tariffs that included even uninhabited islands only lived on by penguins and the general reaction I got from everyone I'm around is that we're talking economics with a dude who lucked out into money instead of going to school.

Regarding defense, it could have been motivated simply by reducing american troops in Europe, especially which bases are armed. The reason this didn't happen was because previous governments thought that the relationship between the economies was worth preserving, cause one going poof by Russians means the other one starts hurting badly. I actually wish this would've been done earlier because Russia would probably not have jumped on the opportunity as fast if it was a planned withdrawal that we could arm up for.

EUV machines were technically invented by US and Japanese scientists, which is good, as in: The research and the prototype for it, but the machine that could actually do the job commercially was first built in the Netherlands and the research to make it anything but a cool science project was theirs. It's the reason why nobody else has one of those working commerically on the same scale.

>domestic issues
I can't for the life of me think of any domestic issue that got pinned on the US
>we frequently take the diplomatic heat
everyone that does anything does, the US seldom takes any from Europe with the exception of the second Iraq war. but even then half of Europe was in Iraq with you
>have tolerated a tremendous amount of badmouthing and undermining from Europe
the same can be said about how the US has treated Europe and Europeans
>committed industrial espionage
and the US hasn't?
> did not condemn flirting with hostile anti Western actors, like Russia, 1990s Iraq, the Islamic Republic of Iran
>Russia
everyone up to and including Obama did the same with several "diplomatic resets" just so the US could ignore all the shady and outright hostile shit the russians where doing
>Iraq
the US was the second largest backer of Iraq right behind the Gulf states and when it was time for the first Gulf war every European nation showed up, even the until just a year ago soviet ones.
>Iran
the EU has followed every sanctions packet the US has placed on them despite the regime not being our concern at all due to how we aren't beholden to AIPAC
>forthcoming with sharing technologies
so the US is sharing their stealth coating and other stuff with us?
>have kept our market fairly open to Europe, despite Europe's efforts to protect its own
the EU has lower average import tariffs on US goods than the US has on EU goods
>notion that they've been perfect model allies
and the US has been a model ally to Europe?
did you force the brits and french to stop during the Sues Crisis? did you strong arm Europe into decolonizing? how about causing the 2008 financial crisis? the US telling us whom we can and can't trade with? what we can and can't trade in?
I'd frankly be offended if you weren't a shill

>I can't for the life of me think of any domestic issue that got pinned on the US

Exhibit A. I'd like to bring up that the AIG fiasco was caused by firms based in Britain taking out insurance claims against their competitors, a practice banned in the United States.
> the US seldom takes any from Europe
We took all of the heat for Libya and the 2017 Syria strikes, both of which were pushed by Britain and France.
>the same can be said about how the US has treated Europe and Europeans
It's not even remotely in the same weight class and everyone knows it.
>just so the US could ignore all the shady and outright hostile shit the russians where doing
Nordstream II
>time for the first Gulf war
European countries continued to flirt with Saddam after the war and after Saddam had fired on American jets.
>muh AIPAC
Iran is openly hostile to Europe and frequently chants "Death to France," and "Death to Britain," alongside "Death to America." Their proxies also operate inside friendly Latin American nations and shoot at European ships. However, you'll still find apologism for Iran in Europe and greater tolerance of Iranian business interests in Europe.
>tarriffs
There's more to it than that and you know it.
>the US telling us whom we can and can't trade with
Well, you guys are eager to trade with a bunch of theocratic psychos who scream "Death to America!", subvert Latin American countries, wipe their ass with the wishes the Iraqi and Lebanese peoples, and loudly proclaim desire to build nuclear weapons to use on the neighbors, so maybe you need a tap on the shoulder here and there.
I'm also going to add that Abdul Qadeer Khan was only as successful as he was because he operated in more security lax Europe.

I hope many Americans think like you because NATO dies it will be the beginning of the end for the western world.
I bet Putin jacks off every night at the thought.

>American International Group
somehow Europe's fault that an American investment group decided to use US bailout money for bonuses
>We took all of the heat for Libya and the 2017 Syria strikes
as far as I can recall no one but fringe far left weirdos complained and they complained on both sides of the Atlantic as it's just something fringe lefties complain about
ofc the russians bitched as well, but you'd know all about what russians think
>It's not even remotely in the same weight class
as per what metric, your feelings?
>Nordstream II
that was agreed to while the US had one of it's resets. when relations soured again and the US asked it was shelved at great cost to the Germans. but somehow I'm sure it's all their fault.
>European countries continued to flirt with Saddam
that's from before my time, do you have any sources to back that up or are you going to claim that the oil for food deal the US approved was a European plot?
>Iran is openly hostile to Europe and frequently chants "Death to France," and "Death to Britain,
I've never hear any of that, please do provide a source
>you guys are eager to trade with
yes as sovereign states we reserve the right to trade with whom ever we want to. don't confuse doing the US a solid when they ask for our help to be an abrogation of our rights.
perhaps if you weren't beholding to AIPAC you'd have managed to find a diplomatic solution to the Iran question by now
>Abdul Qadeer Khan
your ally
I'll note that you didn't comment on how we don't give you any diplomatic flak, US industrial espionage on European firms (never mind how the US where spying on European heads of state), how the US doesn't share technologies with it's European allies, how the EU isn't keeping US goods out and all the not so very model ally things the US has done to Europe.
it's almost like you are full of fucking shit, know it and are now going to keep nitpicking at ever smaller, less relevant stuff just so you don't have to fess up
>>
>>64730805
NTA but Iran absolutely deserves to be totally castrated figuratively speaking. They've been conducting terrorism for quite literally no logical reason for decades and the very existence of the current regime balances the Middle East in Russia and China's favor, but it also means that their oil and other natural resources go untapped (and in regards to water it's literally ruining the natural water supply due to their corruption)
Saddam should've been persona non grata after the 90s, no clue why he was left in power but I don't support the actions they took in that regard.
Russian cozying has been extremely ill-thought for as long as it's been going on (or at least since they went after Georgia if not earlier), plenty of nations in the EU were not on the same page when it came to Russia, now more are which is good. Wish more would happen faster though, but it's hard when you've got two nations led by quislings shitting up the way the system works here in the name of getting to devour billions in tax money as personal income.
>There's more to it than that and you know it
If it's about the regulations then I'd like to know what specific regulations are the issue here that's slighting anyone. Nobody, in the US or the EU, should be arbitrarily forced to buy another nation's product nor should they feel entitled to having it be sold. The nation itself, and in the EU's case, the commission-parliament-member state negotiation, should be the one to decide what gets sold and what doesn't.

I'm not going to respond to anything else. The Libyan Intervention was a complete disaster, everyone agreed as such. It was probably even worse decision than Operation Iraqi Freedom.

>>64730901
it was in hindsight, but at the time only the left complained about it
and don't act like getting rid of Gaddafi wasn't on the US's to do list
he had killed US servicemen and the US had tried to bomb him before
but I'm glad you agree with everything else

>Europeans by and large love the US.

Not really, the US reputation has taken a serious nosedive over the last 20 years, and it accelerated a lot after Trump got elected the first time. Europe has a collective case of Trump Derangement Syndrome and it got much worse after he was elected again. Before Trump, it was only people who had visited America and seen for themselves what it actually is or who were genuine intellectuals who disliked America, after Trump the horde of clueless NPC small bourgeoisie started to dislike America because of the man in the telly saying Trump dumb.
