Germany should play a bigger role in world affairs, Chancellor Angela Merkel insisted on Wednesday. On the campaign trail for her Christian Democrats (CDU) party ahead of regional elections next week, Merkel refused pressure to take a more individual, domestic approach to Europe's migrant crisis.
The country should not just spread its influence via, exports, the chancellor argued. "Rather, we will have to take on more responsibility in an open world for what happens outside our European borders," she said from a CDU rally in the town of Wittlich in Rhineland-Palatinate, one of three states about to hold parliamentary ballots.

They treat their own country like a toilet, why put that on a larger stage?
Um, I really think they've done enough already, if you get my drift...
Man, I can’t believe I’ve never heard that one.
It’s a keeper.
A place in the sun, perhaps?

Germany’s role on the world stage is one of comedy.
Yeah, import your incompetance
That was a German flag. She wanted to make sure nobody thinks she is trying to be patriotic or a nationalist. She’s all about the coming world order.
She’s created a monster for Germany, and now she wants to pass part it off to other nations.
