So what if the Amercians elect a Republican, you think we really lose sleep over world opinion? Well, maybe some do (and that's not my problem), but not all of us. |
Exactly this attitude is the reason why the world does not need another four years of this kind of political motivation. |
Says you, but you don't pay taxes, vote, or live here so your attitude doesn't matter. At all. |
Unfortunately, regarding global issues and national internal things over here (trade for example, and the internatnional fiancial system into which germany is bound), your (american voters') attitude does matter more than we are happy with . If Germany would have such a massive impact on US internal issues, you would go crazy over it. but when you affect us, unasked, and we need to coma along with the conseuences of your deicisons, you demand us to just sit silent and accept it. From German banks loosing over America'S selfmade finacial failure to global conferences about climate and environemnt, your internal decisions in two months will make a difference, and unfortunately a decisive one.
Wether the rest of the world likes it or not. So don't complain if we non-Americans keep a close eye at you, it is only natural, and reasonable. We wouldn't if you would not have so much potential to influence and damage us as well.
