Now we’re less naive and still nothing has changed.
MAY…
I may have shat myself yesterday, but I’m not sure
And about Russia?
Gotta love Merkel. Has she ever responded to anything in good time
And Russia, and nuclear energy, and the effects of austerity post ’08 crash, and so on…
Naive is an understatement.
And the fact that she still thinks we shouldn’t decouple from that authoritarian regime hellbent on starting World War 3 in the South China Sea, shows that Merkel is still naive.
She knew it was a faustian pact when she made it — stagnant-to-slow European-wide economy? She damned sure wasn’t going to rebuke what had let grow into Germany’s No. 1 trading partner.
But, like so many other Boomers, and particularly those in elective office, it’s about immediate expediency and gratification, and let their children and grandchildren deal with the hellish bad times — damn the consequences.
And you can pretty much apply that to a ton of different things she did while people were howling to the contrary.
“…Merkel may have been naive on China at first…”, Merkel says.
There Angela fixed that for you.
And Russia and Turkey and “refugees”
Why did she call Lukashenko? Twice. To legitimize him? To give him moral boost?
That’s the country she has been chancellor of since 2005……..
Angela, you had almost TWO DECADES to figure out China while you were at the helm.
O rly?
Did you? Don’t tell me
“We” all were, because it was beneficial to the multinationals…
