It really is. The sheer stupidity and mediocrity displayed by our politicians is mind boggling, and this even goes for those ones who don't act like they were seemingly manufactured in an American NGO's lab to do nothing but be rabid Atlanticists and lick Washington's boots.
If you're in German politics you either are a complete ghoul who enthusiastically supports Germany's total economic ruin and subjugation to US diktat, or you were only allowed to get to where you are because you are too naive and provincial to understand how the world works. Possibly the former are also masquerading as the latter.
At least now i understand how the Japanese must have felt when the US permanently kneecapped their economy with the Plaza Accord in the 1980s. Although i have to assume that it wasn't quite as obvious back then what the US was doing and the effect it would have, because how the fuck would any self-respecting country just knowingly allow something like this to be done to it?
it's such a clown show in Germany right now

It's a good analogy, and completely agree that this time around it's very obvious from the start what's happening.
