“Insane.” There is no other word to describe what the German leader is doing to her country. She should be removed from office.
The same diagnosis applies right here.
Germany eventually recovered from the madness and destruction Hitler caused to be unleashed on her. Merkel is unleashing now on Germany what may be permanent destruction... extinction of her stock and culture, and that of Europe itself. Statesmen think of the next generations, politicians only think of the next election. Merkel is a politician.
