As a German myself, you have to acknowledge that in terms of military/power politics, we're mostly just a US lapdog
I agree and find it tremendously stupid. I believe Europe would fare much better, if the EU integrated as a power bloc, keeping foreign interference out, be it US, Russian or Chinese. That includes finding compromise on building a unified foreign and defense policy.
Otherwise we'll be eroded in the foreseeable future, which has tremendous negative implications for the well being, safety and wealth of all Europeans.
Remember when the NSA under Obama was caught spying on Merkel's mobile? Most Germans don't.
