In 2019 Germany will assume greater international responsibility and must stand up for its convictions, Angela Merkel has vowed in an annual address.
The chancellor said old certainties about international cooperation had "come under pressure", alluding to strained US-German relations. This year, President Donald Trump and the chancellor have clashed on German domestic and foreign policy issues.
Mrs Merkel's New Year's speech will be broadcast in full later on Monday.
Over the past year, Chancellor Merkel has been a leading defender of multilateralism, in contrast to Mr Trump's America First foreign policy. "In our own interest, we must take on more responsibility," the German leader said, warning that global problems like climate change, migration and terrorism cannot be solved alone.

Jeez, let’s see.
1). She wants to “solve” the non-existent problem of climate change caused by man.
2). She wants to solve the migration problem, a problem for which she is one of the people who actions vastly accelerated and magnified.
and
3). Her solution for terrorism in her own country is to invite thousands of terrorists in. Smart woman?
IOW. take more migrants in
I guess she’s done wrecking her own country. Time to wreck the rest of the world. The world really doesn’t need Germany. They’re always going around starting shit.
Germany currently enjoys record employment and is paying down the national debt.
A German wants to create a pan-European military and assume more “global responsibility.” And the liberals love it. Just like last time.
4) Yesterday, Ms ‘Stasi’ Muggles called for the elimination of national boarders everywhere.
I guess the 2mm 58 IQ inbreds they brought in are all working and paying taxes...Or maybe they just aren’t counting them.
Oh. It’s New Years Eve.
I better go shop.
HAppy New Year Everyone from Berlin!
Sounds like she’s looking to be Queen of the EU once again.....good luck on that!
First of all even if you believe the number is 1.2mm then only 25% of this trash is employed.
2nd of all, https://voiceofeurope.com/2018/11/migrant-joke-about-working-germans-and-migrant-benefits-goes-viral/
And why the hell are people demanding we keep troops in Syria when two million military aged men from there are running around Europe raping the locals?
Send them back to fight what’s left of ISIS.
Not ranting at you, just following up on your statement.
Then let them pay for their own defense finally. We need to pull out of Germany and reposition our forces in Poland. If Germany has such a great economy they don’t need our help.
....”Germany currently ‘enjoys’ record employment and is paying down the national debt”....
Well then they shouldn’t have any problem increasing their 1% with NATO they vowed to increase to meet their 2% of GDP agreed upon years ago, right?
Well, by example she has accomplished nothing but ruin. The new norm is to lower expectations on the tab of the public treasury, and declare a job well done.
