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.
"That means more development aid, that means more common standards on climate protection, that means fair trade and a lot more than one perhaps feels in a closed society," Merkel added. ...

Well, you can give the million-or-so young muslim men you just imported some military training and organization, and send them into France.
That will DEFINITELY get Germany noticed.

Germany should pay less attention to the “world stage” and concentrate on how she is going to survive with the new Islamic Trojan Horse unfolding within the confines of her own borders...

The German chancellor has refused to back down under mounting pressure to reverse course on the refugee crisis. Merkel stands there and says all this while the women and girls in Germany are being beaten, slammed to ground and raped in ever increasing numbers! Raped by the same islamic muslims she has welcomed in!

They tried that already. Didn’t work out too well the first two times. And I’m thinking three times won’t be the charm.

"we will have to take on more responsibility in an open world for what happens outside our European borders," Looks to me like she's hell-bent on erasing those borders altogether.

After the last two years, wrecking Ukraine and then wrecking Germany, thanks. The Germany show needs to be scaled back for a while.

Did you see that video of her grabbing a flag out of the hand of a man on the platform with her, taking it over and tossing it aside.
I had thought it was probably a German flag, but I wasn’t sure. No matter, who did she think she was to do that?
She’s a troubled wench.
That border comment struck me on this issue, because she evidently doesn’t think a flag is an appropriate thing to have around.
