Why would you hope for suffering of millions?


I feel OP is welcoming Germany’s demise as the Economic Powerhouse of Europe rather than suffering of people. Tho, both are linked because Germany is a net-importer of human capital and many will be forced to move back East, thus further pushing East Europe back into poverty.


No. I'm welcoming Germany's [and on a wider level, the EU's] demise as their just desserts for acting as the US's poodle for the past several decades, instead of seizing the opportunity to create an independent and non-aligned Europe as a force for good in the world.

But, yes, my remarks are aimed at nations and what they stand for, rather than people.
