Germany …. MERKEL In hindsight

[Zebra]

now in hindsight she is found to have made wrong decisions

like let the German army run down

 

[Bleipriester]

[Merkel Salute]

The army has already been reduced to paper before Merkel. We can see that they started to deteriorate and downsize the military in the 80´s. It grew again when the GDR army joined the Bundeswehr but they continued to abolish it. The Schröder government closed many barracks, too.

She was played or complicit. A former East German who the Russians and Chinese probably knew everything about and they exploited these weaknesses to the hilt.

Her "leadership" and fawning Western MSM who did Chinas work them, only hurt the West even more. These fools will face WWIII and then blame everyone but the very people they promoted as knowing what they were doing, when they didn't.

It was rumoured among we cognoscenti that Dear Uncle P turned her during his period in Dresden .

That was his unofficial "job" for the KGB as it then was . Angela was a very active firebrand in east Germany then .

I was privy to that info. over 20 years ago and it is quite likely, though not 100% provable .

Merkel abolished conscription

That was a hysterical reaction, causing a shortfall in supply, and needing to buy from France, which is nuclear. Many of those power stations being positioned on the French/German border.

Merkel abolished conscription

No, she didn´t. She paused it. They tell us this is more constitutional, lol. But it doesn´t matter. Exemption from military service was very high and who refused to serve in the military didn´t had to, anyway.
There is zero point in blaming Merkel for all the shit alone. Do you think Scholz would have done better? What has been a crisis under Merkel is now normality. Stop being fooled. Merkel is no "moment of madness", but fits into the other.

What a bullshit ... on the other side: A lot of iron-y.





The contracts are made
And there was a lot of laughter
And something sweet for dessert

Freedom, freedom

The band "rum-ta-ta"
And the Pope was already there
And my neighbor in front

Freedom, freedom
Is the only one missing
Freedom, freedom
Is the only thing that's missing

Unfortunately, man is not naive
Man is unfortunately primitive

Freedom, freedom
Has been canceled again

All who dream of freedom
Should not miss out on celebrating
Should also dance on graves

Freedom, freedom
Is the only thing that counts
Freedom, freedom
Is the only thing that counts

Dr. Angela Merkel is a physicist. She knew very well what she did do. "Her" politics - better to say the politics of the federal republic of Germany - had it been also to trust in others and to be part of a political system of mutual economic interdependencies. This was indirectly a very efficient form of peace politics because it makes no sense to attack others who are important for the own economy. This was not specially Merkel's politics this had been inded our all politics and also a motor for the EU. So existed for her no real reason not to trust into Russia - specially also with the experiences we made in the cold war with Russia. Business (and peace) was also always important for the Russians after Stalin. This politics had been very successful and failed as far as I know only in case of Vladimir Putin.

And by the way: Never a nuclear war was as dangerous as it is today. Reason for: Much too many people "forget" that a nuclear overkill still exists. In the first days of a nuclear war hundreds of millions of people will die. And it is said: "The living will envy the dead".

Oh by the way, racist superassholes: Also economic wars will lead into real wars. Tell this your leading criminal superidiot Donald Trump. But he will not be interested in the opinions of his slaves as less as Putin or Kim Jong-Un are interested in the opinions of their slaves.

Merkel was deathly afraid of dogs. When Putin met her, with cameras rolling, he brought a big dog with him to their meeting.

Do you think that foreign nations don't have intelligence sources?

They know far less about Vance, Vivek, RFK etc than they do the career politicians in the Dems.
