Merkel is a Russian Spy
It would explain a lot of her actions....
Following her predecessor, Gerhard Schroder.
Seriously, Europe has been sitting on their asses, letting the USA protect them for over 50 years. NOW, they want to depend on the USA less? Did they find a new sugar daddy? Even if they were suddenly willing to spend the money, I sure as hell don’t see them building a self sufficient Army/Navy/Air Force in the next 20 years. At least they have a large supply of suicide bombers.
