They are not.

Poland disagrees, and notice how Russia can't touch them?

It's unfortunate, but only the threat of a NATO umbrella can keep the Russians away.

Nothing you said has any bearing on the fact that none of the European states are independent.

What language do they speak in Poland? Who can cross their borders or run for their President?

There's obviously a level of independence or you're just playing stupid.

They technically still speak German in Germany, but there is way too much English language advertising, as German is borrowing hundreds if not thousandz of English words. I doubt Poland is that much better.

There's English in China too. But that's clearly because it makes it easier to do business on an international stage.

Try running for German or Chinese politics using only English, and I can't imagine getting far, let alone, be elected.

I can explain it, but cannot comprehend it for you.. Maybe Rammstein's Amerika?

I know that song. It's lampooning American culture for being like imperialism and influencing nations worldwide.

However, many things are influential or have a wide reach. Like Japanese pop culture. Or even French.

You just are not getting it. At the current trajectory, neither the Germans people, culture, not language will exist. It is a slow acting poison.

It has nothing to do with the English language, but their birth rates and policies on immigration.

Which is not to say, I'm asking them to do nothing. No, they clearly need to preserve a future for Germans.

The same is true with China. Unless you're a diplomat or work in business, English doesn't control them.

No- it is all of it. Americanization, infiltration of American popular culture and languages all of it.
