The shock election of Donald Trump as US president has forced greater responsibility for defending Western values and interests onto German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s shoulders, analysts say, with some even crowning her the new “leader of the free world”. […]
During his campaign Trump signaled a protectionist and anti-immigration stance, while Britain is preoccupied with securing its future outside the European Union after June’s stunning referendum vote to exit the bloc.
France’s President François Hollande is grappling with record low ratings ahead of next May’s election that could see far-right Marine Le Pen reaching the second round run-off vote.
Merkel, after 11 years at the helm, now looks increasingly like the only bulwark of stability and liberal freedom among Western allies. …

She’s been Trumped to pipsqueak status.
An open-borders pushing East German? What a laugh!
If “liberal freedom” means “overrun by fanatical murderers in dirty nightshirts” then yes she’s uber alles....
If we happen to see Merkel leading Guiderian’s resurrected Panzer Corps down the street...
"Western values" and "Merkel" in the same sentence??? Put down the bong and back away fron the keyboard.
Merkel is an embarrassment to the west and can’t be removed too soon. I can’t even imagine any of my ancestors thinking that “defending Western values and interests” meant “denouncing everything about the west as racist/sexist/anti-islamic and promoting the overrunning of the west by people who hate absolutely everything about it”.
Trump models self-reliance, self-respect, work ethic, success, and standing up for and fighting for yourself. Hopefully after eight years of Trump some of the above will rub off on the deranged leftards of the world.
Peewee Herman has more validity than Merkel.
She can be the example for all the dufi that want to cling to that sanctuary city nonsense.
She has a sanctuary country.
Watch and learn.
So those are what you call western values??????
Muslims allowed to run wild, all over Germany and the German “culture ( what little is left of it ) being torn asunder, with insane Muslim crap replacing it, is hardly “upholding Western Culture” nor is it in any way “stable”.
Merkel? Is this a joke?
Whoever wrote this tripe was stoned out of what was left of a feeble mind and drunk to boot.
Who would be the best conservative individuals and the best pro-conservative political parties to take over majority control status, throughout each and every European country? Ditto, the rest of the world outside of the U.S.? Any pro-conservative resources to, accurately, verify these and other similar questions?
What?!
Where’s the sarc tag?
Western values are identical with border-free nations, Jihad and Shariah law, lack of religious tolerance, hatred of Christianity, assertive and demonizing identity politics, global warming scam, etc., etc.? Methinks these people don’t really understand the values underlying Western “liberal” (in the good sense) civilization.
LOL whoever wrote that article probably still believes Hillary Clinton will win the election
Yeah, good luck with that.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, I bet she farts all night long. What a horrible person she has turned out to be. She allowed the Moslem hordes to invade the land of my ancestors and should run from the country after she is tar and feathered.
Meanwhile, eastern European nations are voting for leaders with closer ties to Russia. Western Europe is sinking into muslim infested Hell.
