I was talking with a German girl about how more than half of Denmark’s tourists are from Germany, and that something like 70% of the people who rent summer houses here are Germans. And if we don’t get as many Germans as usual, we start to worry we did something wrong and that the Germans no longer like us.
She said, “Aw, don’t worry. We just need to see other countries every now and then, but Germany will always love Denmark.”
And the most natural response was of course, “Don’t tell Sister America that. It does not work with her Norway/Denmark ship”
what if the reason Germany is afraid of Sister America getting "angry at him again" has nothing to do with any of world wars but the fact she has a "death glare" that can terrify anyone unlucky enough to piss her off (apparently he made her mad before) King Europe has it too banned
Brother America: uses force and gun and big size to get his way
Sister America: doesn't need to use force or a gun just stares straight into your soul angrily
@AmericanButterfly That's actually a pretty good metaphor on how america "rules" the world.
1) By sheer military power (#hardpower).
2) By cultural influence and diplomacy (#softpower).
Anyone else?
