"When I found out that she doesn't like dogs, of course I apologized."

Sure you did.

Reminds me of how Hitler got Austrian Chancellor Schussnigg to capitulate to the Anschluss in 1938. Hitler knew Schussnigg was a chain smoker, and Hitler refused to let him smoke during their meeting. After a while, Schussnigg was so desperate for a smoke, he would sign anything. And so he did.

So Putin is equal to Hitler?

“Vlad knows how the game is played.”

So he brought in a Black Lab to terrify Frau Merkle. Labs are known to be very dangerous breeds, especially when one doesn’t want to pet them, or attempts to stop throwing a ball.

Myself, I don’t trust anyone that doesn’t like dogs, or that a dog doesn’t like.

Not an admirer of Putin, but if he wanted to terrorize Merkel with a dog, pretty sure he would not have brought in a Lab.
