Germany is a net exporter of food.

You know what is not a substitute for a viable economy? Everything except a viable economy. Zimbabwe is also a net exporter of food [1][2].

  • Germany has a viable economy. It's one of the strongest, most diverse in the world. It's in a recession right now, but we're talking about fluctuations in the 1-percent range here.

    If you think Germany is anything close to a failed state then all I can tell you that you either fell for lies or intentionally spread lies yourself.

    • A change from 3.7% to -0.3% is not in the 1-percent range. It's a decline of more than 100%, as all the growth is gone. Their economy has been sliding for years, the only change in trend was when they were helicoptering covid cash. They are done for, they won't recover.
