apparently this is comedy:
4:45
“Abortion, I salute you!
“Women, if you need an abortion, get one!
“If you want an abortion, get one!
“If you’re not pregnant but you think you eventually might be and want to order a future abortion, get one!
“If you’re pregnant and you want to be pregnant, don’t get one!
“It’s up to you, and it doesn’t have to be a big deal. It’s actually a great deal. It’s about $300 – that’s like six movie tickets. Movie tickets: a big deal!
“And women, don’t forget: you have the power to give life and men will try to control that – don’t let them!
“God bless abortions and God bless America!”

meanwhile in the most peaceful, moral, problem-free place in the world:
pleading not guilty because:
derpy derp.
She left two victims bleeding and fearing for their lives after attacking them with an axe in an Enmore convenience store. Today transgender woman Evie Amati put her head in her hands as the jury were shown video of the moment she did it.
He told the court that his client was a 'super-intelligent' woman of very good character who had hormonal therapy and surgical intervention in Thailand, but who had a history of depression and suicidal and homicidal ideation.
At the time of the attacks, her fragile mind was affected by a 'toxic mixture' of drugs - hormonal, cannabis and an amphetamine-based drug, which she and her friends unwittingly thought was ecstasy, the court heard.
The trial is continuing.

But the real answer is Germany's got nothing to fear from Russia as long as it maintains a decent strength military and a sizable nuclear deterrent. But I would prefer an economically weak Russia versus an economically strong Russia.

The reality of the situation is as follows: The US, Canada, the EU, Great Britain, etc., all have a strong military alliance.
Russia has zero allies.
China has precisely one, and it's a tinpot little country ruled by a guy who makes President Trump look sane and rational by comparison and causes China so much grief that they'd rather it not be there.
It turns out that, if you carry a big enough stick, you don't need to walk all that softly.
Would a decrease in funding of NATO be okay if that is true, or am I assuming too much that Germany's strong military and nuclear deterrent is enough to keep Russia at bay from other EU countries?
