You fucking people, you have no idea how to defend a nation. You just weakened a country today Kaffee, that's all you did. You put people's lives in danger. Sweet dreams son.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker angrily accuses the listener and others like them of not understanding what protecting a nation takes. In the speaker's view, the listener's actions weakened the country and endangered lives. The closing "sweet dreams" is a cold, mocking parting shot.
