Angela Merkel has launched a withering attack on eastern European leaders for failing to learn from their memories of life behind the Iron Curtain in their handling of the refugee crisis. Calling upon her own experience of growing up in communist East Germany, Mrs Merkel criticised leaders including Viktor Orban, the Hungarian prime minister, for building new fences in Europe despite having escaped their own isolation at the end of the Cold War. “We eastern Europeans – I'm counting myself as an eastern European – have seen that isolation doesn't help,” the German chancellor told MEPs at a meeting on Wednesday.

The Iron Curtain was there to keep from LEAVING communism.

The fences going up all over Europe are there to keep invading muslims from ENTERING their countries and destroying their culture.

See the difference?

“If we build a fence, people will find another way in,” she said. “There is no stopping the arrivals.”

Angela Merkel, surrender monley.

Of course you can stop them

Wasn’t Germany responsible for most of the past refuges?

Her predecessor, Herr Schickelgruber, is a big reason that there was an Iron Curtain in the first place.

Nonsense! The Berlin wall was to keep people in, now they are building walls to keep people OUT.

And who is responsible for putting the events in motion that created the Iron Curtain. Oh yeah, that would be Germany.

What is Merkel’s problem...menopause? She is exhibit #1 for not electing a female president, because their emotions over-rule common sense.”

Merkel has truly lost it & jumped the shark.

Eastern Europeans get it when it comes to the muzzie invasion threat. They’re doing something about it.

And I’ll bet the Poles, Hungarians, Czechs, Slovaks, Slovenes, Croatians, & Bulgarians really appreciate being lectured about compassion & morality by a GERMAN!!!!

The German language became a sore spot for them when in the 1780s the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II changed the empire’s administrative language from Latin to German, thus upsetting the Slavs and Hungarians and awakening a nationalism that wasn’t there before.
