“Merkel fired back, saying that the country is “united in freedom.””
Huh? What is that supposed to mean? She just concatenated some words together to make a meaningless statement.
I think she said something to the effect in German: vereint in Freiheit, which loosely translates to united in freedom. I do agree...it’s a framed response and generally doesn’t mean anything in a clear way.
I witnessed the same fake news description of her comments. They so much want her to scream at Trump like he is some kind of monster, but she said really nothing, so the media lies about it.
The Germans did reduce their coal, and instead of taking more LNG from America signed up for a life-blood deal with Russia, paying them billions and being subject to their natural gas extortion. Meanwhile they demand the US defend them and pay the most into NATO.
Trump was so right in the repudiation of this behavior that the Germans could not say anything.
I am glad we have someone talking openly and honestly.
Germany can’t pay their fair share into NATO, which protects them from Russia, and then does these “lay-down” deals with Russia and hands them the keys to the house.
Trump is right. But you won’t see CNN explain it like that.
Germany is now a Russian puppet state. East Germany has conquered Germany for the Russian rules. Did it without firing one bullet.
united in freedom but dependent on Russia....so not so much
