Germans think Trump is more dangerous to world peace than Kim Jong Un and Putin: survey
2019-12-27
[The Hill] A new YouGov survey found Germans consider President Trump more dangerous to world peace than North Korean Chairman Kim Jong Un or Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to the German broadcaster DW.

Asked to rank the greatest threat to world peace between Trump, Kim, Putin, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Chinese President Xi Jinping, 41 percent named Trump, compared to Kim at 17 percent, Khamenei and Putin at 8 percent and Xi at 7 percent.

Pollsters surveyed 2,000 Germans for the poll between Dec. 16 and 18.

The results were similar to a YouGov poll published in July 2018, although the earlier survey did not include Xi or Khamenei as options.

The poll comes after a contentious NATO summit in London with several European allies, during which Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was filmed apparently joking about the lengths of Trump’s joint press conferences in a conversation with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French President Emanuel Macron.

#18  Modern Germany is what happens when everyone with a spine is killed, the next generation is likely to be passive snowflakes. Similar thing happened to the British & French because of the one two punch of WW1 and WW2.

Similar thing happened to the Scandinavian countries as all those with a spine went viking and colonized the British Isles and Northern France and Moscow (giving those areas a double-dose of spine genetically).

#14  Are Germans retarded, or is their (government) press just that bad?

Couldn't be any worse that the MSM in America.

#9  That's alright. By 1945 we thought they were more dangerous to world peace too. Done a pretty good job of defanging them I'd say. Maybe too good. Nah.

#8  Mainstream media article template F17: That horrid Trump is so horrid that foreigners haaaaate him!

But the Hill article links to a Deutsche Welle article, which links to an earlier DW article that points out that a) Germans are considerably less fearful overall in late 2019 than they’ve been since 1993, and b) concern about President Trump fell significantly since last year, from 69 to 55, now third behind over-demand on resources by migrants and tensions caused by foreigners.

So despite superficial appearances, this report is actual good news as Germans come to terms with the fact that President Trump has not destroyed the world as was so loudly predicted when he had the temerity to actually win the election.

#3  The results were similar to a YouGov poll published in July 2018, although the earlier survey did not include Xi or Khamenei, Joseph Stalin, the Castro bros, as options.

Would it have altered the survey ?

#1  Nothing new. As is well-known to many Germans know, on 9/11 the Pentagon bombed the Pentagon.

So of course it makes sense that when NKor launches missiles toward California, it's actually a false-flag operation. OrangeMan is RocketMan.

From 2003:

German Sept 11 theory stokes anti-US feeling
By Kate Connolly in Bonn
20 Nov 2003

A former German cabinet minister is drawing huge crowds and stoking the fires of popular anti-Americanism with a book arguing that the US government mounted the September 11 attacks in a plot to win global domination.

Andreas von Bulow..., a former research minister in the German government, believes that September 11, when more than 3,000 people died, was staged to justify the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

... [Von Bulow's] ideas are very popular in Germany, which is wallowing in a wave of anti-Americanism. Polls show that a fifth of the population, and one in three of those under 30, believe the US government ordered the attacks.
