Hey may indeed have more followers now but like any infection it will get
worse before it gets better, Europe tends to turn a blind eye to the problem
which is now happing in their back yard, hopefully France and Germany won't
have their own version of 9/11 but it will likely take something like that

You have your history wrong, Germany got it's ass kicked in WWI then after
being beaten continued to get it's ass kicked by 10 years of legal
punishment and punative payments to the winning countries, If you notice
that didn't happen after WWII when the US helped build back the
infrastructure and industry
