Her entire statement makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Patriotism and Nationalism go hand in hand and it’s very difficult if not impossible to have one without the other.

Haven’t you heard of Orwellian Newspeak? She’s putting it into actual, not fictional, use. Next I expect her to say “War is peace,” and “Hate is love,” etc.

At the WW1 memorial ceremonies, France's Macron said that nationalism is the opposite of patriotism. Merkel is now saying the same thing. Not a coincidence, looks like coordinated rhetoric. It's patriotic to cede seoverignty to the EU, that's the message. If you love your country than the way to demonstrate it is to dismantle it.

If Europeans are dumb enough to buy into this nonsensical rhetoric then they are truly lost and might as well put their necks under the jack boot of an EU army and get it over with.

“Patriotism and Nationalism go hand in hand and it’s very difficult if not impossible to have one without the other.”

When she talks about “pure” Nationalism she is talking about Hitler type Nationalism

Your statement is right on trader rob

I agree 100% with Trumps view of Nationalism.

It is the only Patriotic way to go.

America First.

Any other nation that does not think of putting their nation first will succumb to the loss of sovereignty.

Which Merkel is calling for

The death of her country
