German-English translations for schröpfen

bleedIn their competing efforts to systematically bleed the planet, the big powers use political and military espionage as an instrument of their rivalry. Die Rivalität zwischen den Großmächten in ihrem Wetteifern um das planmäßige Schröpfen unseres Planeten bedient sich der politischen und militärischen Spionage für ihre eigenen Zwecke. To put it another way, here we go again with the systematic bleeding of Central and Eastern European countries by big investors, particularly from Western Europe. Mit anderen Worten: dieses Vorgehen ist gleichzusetzen mit dem Schröpfen der mittel- und osteuropäischen Länder durch das Großkapital, das hauptsächlich aus Westeuropa hereinströmt. Mr Barroso, you try and keep bleeding the British taxpayer at this rate, because worse is better and on that basis this corrupt institution is doing very well indeed. Herr Barroso, Sie wollen die britischen Steuerzahler auch weiterhin kräftig schröpfen, je mehr, desto besser, und das macht dieses korrupte Organ tatsächlich recht gut.
