Chancellor Angela Merkel cautioned Monday against seeking “simple answers” to complex global issues,

Fine. Regale us with a complex answer.

Social and economic structures are naturally self-organizing. They don’t need “answers”. Left alone, the systems will work out solutions in a natural fashion. Adam Smith talked about the “invisible hand”. It’s true for economics. It’s true for social problems.

The people who claim that “the answers are complex” are manipulators who are seeking their own advantage. They seek to create situations from which they themselves can profit. They aren’t trying to solve anything. They just want to win; which is to say: they want you to lose.

Yet Merkel’s “Simple Answer” is to open the borders to millions of Muslim “refugees’

She must want to see Germany start another World War

Merkel’s remarks came after a Group of Seven summit at which the Europeans couldn’t reach an agreement with Trump on climate change. “The times in which we can fully count on others are somewhat over, as I have experienced in the past few days,” she said. “And so all I can say is that we Europeans must really take our destiny into our own hands.”
[end]

Really? “In your own hands?” ...and before that exactly WHO was “running” your destiny for you? Are you a self-managing adult country? Or “Failure-To-Launch” parent’s basement dwellers, letting others do the heavy worrying and lifting?

Idiots.

She’s crazy! Simple answers are always the best. For example:

Is “climate change” a huge fraud designed to fund the international left while destroying the american economy?
-Yes.

Should the USA withdraw from NATO?
-Yes

Are Euroweenies nothing more than a bunch of smug, condescending asswipes?
-Yes

See Angela. Simple works great!

She’s a globalist. Like most globalists, she seeks to weaken the US (and Russia) to bring about a new world-wide government. Because it’s always been about power and control to the left. They ALWAYS seek to rule the world.

Gihadists - just tools in the left’s war against a free society and the western world.

This is complicated:
“In fact, the building cost an astounding $1.23 billion, according to a budget released by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Architecture, design, and quality management cost the alliance $129 million alone. Audio visual installations ran $29 million, while construction ran $514 million, the document states.

The new building can hold:

The alliance bragged that the structure is also a “green building for the future.”

“The environment and sustainability have played a major role in the design process. The new building’s energy consumption has been optimized through the use of geothermal and solar energy and advanced lighting systems. Thermal insulation, thermal inertia and solar protection have been incorporated in the design to reduce heating. Rainwater will be used for non-potable water use and the buildings short wings will have green roofs,” the document states.”

This isn’t:

“Trump said NATO would be “stronger” in fighting terrorism if member states paid their obligations.”

And another thing, Chancellor Merkel. Trump represents the USA. We elected him.

As far as NATO goes, there is only one solution - higher defense expenditures for the shirkers.

Modern warfare is inherently mechanized and capitol intensive. It is also incredibly violent and fast paced.

These days you go to war with what you have inventory with very little capability ramp up production because the war will be over before you can mobilize production

Effective armies need very high levels of training, superb equipment maintenance and readiness and huge stockpile of weapons and ammunition.

There really is no other solution and it requires financial commitment.

Of course, you also need the will to fight which is lacking in Europe, but that is another issue

Merkel’s concept of “the west” is not worth defending. Let them pay for their own cultural suicide.
