crippling Germany's influence in the world
Economicially Germany is still one of the most powerful and influential industrial nations in the world, let alone europe. In terms of influence, trade is still its mighty diplomatic tool and with this it speaks louder than nearly everybody.
What influence is crippled ?
George W. Bush has given up....The United States president has stopped asking her to send additional troops to fight in southern Afghanistan
Ah, so according to this neoconpoop, influence in the world consists of donning the leaden anchor of subservience to American Imperialism. No wonder he's all of a fluster. If he loves the US so much, why doesn't he just bugger off there and then we'd all be happy ? keep to the Fen Causeway

The Ellemann-Jensen doctrine is a Danish idea specifically aimed at promoting small countries' ability to gain influence in the world order. The doctrine is not a written document but rather inspired by the former Danish Foreign Minister Uffe Ellemann-Jensen's term of office in which he promoted the notion that a small country can gain influence by supporting those greater countries that share the same values and ideas, which the small country itself embraces. Uffe Ellemann-Jensen led the European recognition of the renewed independence of the three Baltic countries in 1991, when Denmark was the first country to re-establish diplomatic relations with the three countries.

And it is likely that, like Japan, its disinclination to become involved in military corporate wars and the pointless holes in the ground into which national treasure is shovelled in the name of Political Penis competitions has, in no small measure, contributed to that economic success. keep to the Fen Causeway
