"I wouldn’t advise my own children to study or work in the US right now." That’s what [b]German Chancellor Friedrich Merz [/b]told a Catholic youth group on Friday. He said that his goal was to ease young people’s anxiety about their future in Germany.

Nothing is collapsing my guy. As long as USA maintains their bases abroad, they are still on top. Imagine a country like Germany that USA still have their troops stationed in their country making noise. Without the USA, many countries would have been over-run by stronger ones. Note: Reason why Europe is antagonizing USA is because of Trump's disregard for them with tarrifs, threat of invading Greenland and moreso, the coercion to increase their NATO budget. Europe is just stuck with Trump or look towards Russia/China. They are now confused

America is not like any how country like Russia, china and African countries that'll have one dictator imposed on them for decades.

Donald Trump is doing what the Americans elected him for not selected. grin

In the next four years the German chancellor's view will change drastically and positively toward America. undecided

If even the German Chancellor is saying don't Japa to the US, then the message is clear: Stay where the money is. 🇳🇬
At this point, most people just want a country where the salary matches the stress levels.

That is what most people don't understand. Europe, including Germany, has been implementing, for the most part, policies against what the people elected them for. And that is something that brings down nations and civilizations. 😒

Don't mind him, America collapse means more jihadist groups springing up.

Iran wiping out Israel and creating more terror groups to spread their tentacles.

More dictators springing out because no one to checkmate

Increase In human rights abuse.

This one go just dey online dey search for news about US, US probably don deny baba visa.

Concerning the post, that's his opinion, his opinion won't reduce the numbers of people going there to study.
If you check the top 20 university in the world, no German University is there, he should focus his energy on the schools in his country.

I know it's weak leftists and liberals like this German chancellor that is giving all these terrorists sympathizers happiness. grin

What the likes of popular leftists/liberals like merz, starmer, macron, newsom, and that idiot leftist spanish leader don't know is that these terrorists and their sympathizers do not give a damn about them. An average terrorist that gained entry to macron France or statmer UK or merz Germany due to their weak immigration policy will have no problem beheading merz or starmer or macron if d chance arises
