Contrary to urban legends, think tanks don't and cannot directly influence governments or important seats of power - individual members who may have participated in the sessions could also have important positions in those governments and make the infuences themselves.

I haven’t said RAND CORPORATION is influencing nothing or anybody (this is what I call “twitterism” that means responding something in a thread that has no relation at all with the statements in the initial post). I just saying they’re denying they wrote this paper and they’re calling misinformation.

But whether they did or not is not the core issue here. The dough here is that the paper is absolutely wright in every statement they do. Whoever wrote it, they nailed it. It perfectly explains the US interest and benefits in wrecking Germany and the rest of the EU.

By the way, Germans that claimed to be not so long ago a collective superior race is demonstrating, again, that the are not only such a thing, but probably one of the most inferior societies in history of the world. They have typically confused skills in certain branches of engineering with intelligence. No, that’s called skills. Intelligence and collective intelligence are much broader concepts that it is obvious Germans lack. This war against Germany that just started, while Germans are behaving as the dopes they are, is the clear proof. They were kicked hard in the ass during WW I. They went completely nuts on WW II. And now, you see, how easy a country as the US can temper with them and cripple down the result of all their engineering skills.

I’m I wrong? Do not answer to me here with some bla-bla-bla blabbing drooling mouth. Walk the walk. Whenever I see Germany walking out of Nato; spelling US troops and bases out of Germany; reestablish relations with Russia; and definitely behaving as a collective smart nation without barking nonsense idiocy about the Jews or whatever other scapegoat they might try to find to explain your own collective incompetence; I’ll change my impression about Germans and reconsider my idea that, at the end, they’re just a bunch of dopes.
