Germans are funnier than the average American. American humour seems to amount to claiming you own random countries and then threatening military action.

Careful throwing stones. That was German humor 80 years ago or so.

Yeah, and we all agreed about what was necessary to stop them- but Americans chose cowardice.

No, they were stopped by outside force. I wish that could happen this time.

Very cute to imply that “outside” is meaningful here, allowing you to pretend you’ve dodged responsibility

Honestly american humor has been on massive decline in the last 20 years despite increase of the overall comedy market. Particularly american standup is so bad these days despite bringing in stadiums of people. It's so cringe: "they're trying to cancel me yap yap yap"

Unfortunately, the people who say that kind of shit are not joking.
