Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Friday that she opposed any use of force to resolve the conflict with North Korea, after President Donald Trump said the US military was “locked and loaded”.

“I don’t envision a military solution to this conflict, but rather consistent work as we’ve observed at the United Nations Security Council,” Merkel told reporters.

“Germany will very intensively take part in the options for resolution that are not military, but I consider a verbal escalation to be the wrong response,” she said when asked about Trump’s latest tweets on North Korea.

Merkel called for “very close cooperation” to defuse tensions in the region “particularly by the United States and China, but also South Korea and Japan”. …

So let me get this right.
NL states they will attack America, kill Americans, and violate UN mandates which the left loves the UN.

Bot because the President stated they will suffer if they do in a manly way then he is at fault.

Have I got that right, and if so then god grief, how frigging pansy has these left wing, and snowflakes become.

Maybe Merkel should remember their own history , and a man called Hitler, and a man called Chamberlain.

Is she wearing a burka yet? Of all the people who ought to keep their opinions on how to run our country to themselves, Muttie Merkel is #1. At least we in the USA don’t have to close swimming pools to keep our children from being raped by Muslims.

Easy for her to say when she is not in the line of fire.

What will Germany do if the US is attacked? Will they meet their NATO Article 5 requirements?

Germany does not meet its NATO obligations. President Trump should say we always consider what our NATO allies have to offer, especially when they meet their NATO obligations. Were Germany to be attacked, because we meet our NATO obligations, we would be in a good position to help defend Germany. But, were we to be attacked, because Germany doesn’t meet its obligations, it would not be in a good position to help defend us.

BTW Germany isn’t meeting its targets under the Paris Agreement either.

Deep State Merkel is rooting for North Korea.

Estrogen has no place in resolution of military conflicts. Islam declared war on Germany. Germany LOST under her feckless 'leadership'.

We haven’t had good experiences with German chancellors in the past.

Agree overall with respect to West Germans but Merkel is an East German who was a spokeswoman for her Communist youth group. So when east and west united in 1990, they received a fully hatched product of the Communist system. And she is acting the part.

Anyway, who cares what she thinks? Germany will not be doing any of the fighting so she can buzz off.

This, coming from the fat East German whose pro-terrorist actions sealed the fate of the German people.
