OH I hope so
Get rid of the UK, France, and Germany’s leaders and we can see a massive change in Europe, well Western Europe.
Merkel has destroyed Germany and betrayed the citizens of the country.
Merkel is Obama.
Yup
“Tide is turning . . . would like to see May replaced as well for a REAL BREXIT leader. Not an EU wanna be.”
Yeah! Like Boris Johnson.
Thank you President Trump!
Macron could be playing a part. I remember his Casablanca visit with trump.
Good. I don’t think she knows what the h#ll she’s doing.
#12. Since I don’t know German, does “karma” translate into “shit” in English?
I dislike Merkel, and I may not like her replacement any better. So I am withholding my judgment. Germans may be fed up with status quo, but are still anti-American overall and condescending towards Trump.
If polls are accurate: Germans trust and prefer Putin over Trump. They want to challenge what they see as American grip over European markets. And most don’t feel the impetus to pay more into NATO.
Key figures like former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder now heads the board of Rosneft: keeping Europe addicted to Russian oil while bashing America and Trump ar the same time. So if Merkel leaves, that’s great. But it’s unfortunate if they just get a Russia-bot in her place.
European conservative movements can be a catch-22.
Merkel's replacement may be anti-Merkel and anti-EU - but he or she may *also* be anti-American and anti-Trump, as many in the European right wing are. They resent America's postwar rise and leading economic role. And this goes for most Germans on either side of the political spectrum.
Excellent comment.
Think of CA...there is always a lefty waiting for their chance
And forgot to add anti-Semitic in addition to anti-American. Some right wingers there are anti-Christian too and hyper-secular. They see all religions as problems not just Islam.
So yeah, if Merkel leaves -- great! But I won't be optimistic till I know who her replacement is. We'll see whether Germans have truly learned their lessons from history.
Insane...
That would be MAGA
Lol
The gift that keeps on giving ol DooDoo
Gnatzis everywhere I tell ya...i saw one in my medicine cabinet

Sharply dressed of course
Civil war is coming to Europe. Mark my words
