Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can’t say we’re satisfied
But Angie, Angie, you can’t say we never tried

We Europeans truly have to take our fate into our own hands

You have and that is the problem. Further, I thought NATO was supposed to be Dutch treat, not Americans paying, paying, paying...

We sure as hell can’t rely on what’s left of the former Germany!

An earlier article said that Merkel told the U.S. that we can’t trust Britain anymore. Are these articles #FakeNews or is Merkel trying to sow as much discord and distrust as she can?

I'm having trouble with the Merkle logic here.

President Trump is trying to strengthen NATO and reforge the NATO common defense pact for the 21st Century by insisting that European NATO members live up to their treaty (the T in NATO stands for treaty) obligations to spend 2% of GDP for the common defense.

As of now, European NATO members have been shirking and spend negligible portions of their GDP to common defense.

In reality, Europe has a very violent recent history so the biggest advantage of NATO is that it keeps European states from starting wars against other European states.

Scare tactic by a morally deficient moron who has all but destroyed her own country, aimed at the rest of the of the still (for now) EU on whom she must rely for aid and support in her quest to destroy white Europe.

Allahpundit and the Eurofakeintellectuals can cram it. America first means everyone benefits.

Merkel and her ilk gave us the worst atrocities of the last 100 years, and her immigration policies appear bent on repeating the same.

The writing is on the wall for Europe with demographics now making it a Muslim continent within a few generations. Merkel accelerated that timeline by decades by importing millions more. It’s now unavoidable.

And the weak Euros deserve every bit of what they’ll get because they’ve been both gullible and arrogant.

So the USA shouldn’t spend another red cent on defending Europe.

Let Putin have it and he’ll strongarm the Islamists like the Euros cannot. He’s not PC at all.

I wonder if she thinks it was a best of five series, not a best of two. And Germany got swept.

Another poorly written and confusing personal opinion posing as news.

Levin does a better job of summing up what happened in Euro land after Trump this past week:

All of us have gotten things wrong since 9/11. But few of us have gotten things as disastrously wrong as May and Merkel and Hollande and an entire generation of European political leaders who insist that remorseless incremental Islamization is both unstoppable and manageable.

It is neither - and, for the sake of the dead of last night’s carnage and for those of the next one, it is necessary to face that honestly. Theresa May’s statement in Downing Street is said by my old friends at The Spectator to be “defiant”, but what she is defying is not terrorism but reality.

So too for all the exhausted accessories of defiance chic: candles, teddy bears, hashtags, the pitiful passive rote gestures that acknowledge atrocity without addressing it - like the Eloi in H G Wells’ Time Machine, too evolved to resist the Morlocks.

As I asked around Europe all last year: What’s the happy ending here? In a decade it will be worse, and in two decades worse still, and then in three decades people will barely recall how it used to be, when all that warmth and vibrancy of urban life that Owen Jones hymns in today’s Guardian is but a memory, and the music has died away, and Manchester is as dull and listless as today’s Alexandria. If Mrs May or Frau Merkel has a happier ending, I’d be interested to hear it. If not, it is necessary not to carry on, but to change, and soon - before it’s too late.

Why would the Germans, particularly Merkel care about the future? None of them have any children or grand children. They have no skin in the game. In fifty years Germany will be what Mohamed and all his cohorts couldn't make it, Muslim. They will become that way because the Germans couldn't be bothered to grow up and have children of their own!

Not to mention Merkel’s energy policy:

RE: Why post this garbage from this deranged hate filled Never Trumper blogger that is so chicken he hides behind an alias?

The premise behind the above statement is this site will NEVER, EVER publish any new or opinion piece that is right for the simple reason that it did not support Trump in the primaries and does not always tow the Trump party line.

But in answer to you question — I post this so that you and others can REFUTE the contents if you disagree with it.

Otherwise, we might as well make this forum a Trump echo chamber.

“Why are we still reading articles by this bitter retard AllahPundit?”

Kudos if you could read through this bs.

I’m going to store it in my Kindle for the rare nights when I have a problem going to sleep, (taking more than a couple of minutes)

After about 60 seconds of read this crud, my eyes get heavy and my mind is seeking REM time.
