German Chancellor Angela Merkel appealed to the United States and others on Saturday to support and bolster multilateral organizations such as the European Union, the United Nations and NATO, an alliance to which U.S. Vice President Mike Pence pledged America’s commitment was “unwavering.”

Merkel told Pence and other world leaders, diplomats and defense officials at the Munich Security Conference that “acting together strengthens everyone.”

Her address came amid concern about the Trump administration’s approach to international affairs and fears that it may have little interest in working in multilateral forums.

“Will we be able to continue working well together, or will we all fall back into our individual roles?” Merkel asked. “I call on us, and I hope we will find a common position on this, let’s make the world better together and then things will get better for every single one of us.” …

Merkel did a bunker suicide of her entire nation.

She’s set them on path to civil war.

We need to transfer our military footprint in Germany to friendlier locales, like
Poland.

Better do it before Germanophiliac/Europhiliac politicians of Poland such as Donald Tusk change the political landscape there.

The EU is a competitor to the USA.

The UN is antithetical to common values.

Pay your fair and promised share for NATO....

Absolutely correct. The EU founders saw it as a “third power” in between the USA and the eastern powers. And still do. They have been an antagonist rather than an ally of the USA, and one of the biggest historical antagonists towards the state of Israel.

As for the UN, that was an abomination spawned by US leftists such as Alger Hiss, who designed its charter to be a clone of the 1936 USSR constitution. Its influence has resulted in much of the west adopting the Leninistic abominations such as acceptance of homosexuality and abortion.

“acting together strengthens everyone.”

Sovereign nations acting together saved your nation’s sorry ass from a dictator. We will remain a sovereign nation that you very much.

The very definition of fascism.

These are empty words. Acting together strengthens everyone as long as the EU has the last say of what means "acting together." Socialism does not work. Has any nation that rejected God lasted very long?

The concept of a One-World atheistic global government has failed. It's only success is to set up the EU to become a Muslim dominated culture featuring Sharia Law. That is working very well in France and Germany is it not?
