Now that the
US empire has been occupied by Donald the 'freak' and the UK by Nigel
and Brexit, the 'wise' neoliberal 'leaders' thought that they had to
find a way to preserve their 'wonderful' Democracy. You know, it's
the Democracy which creates financial crises, increases inequality,
bailouts parasitic banksters and starts wars for profit.
So, Obama
had to find someone to leave behind, to save this 'wonderful' world
from the Far-Right, nationalist nightmare. And appears that the only
option for the moment is ... Angela Merkel! Yes, that's all we have
to preserve our Western 'free world'.
From

:
That
evening not one word was spoken about German Chancellor Angela
Merkel, even though many English-language media had talked about
Obama “passing the baton“ to her as the next defender of the
free world. That may not mean much now, but is understood to
include the defense of human rights, protecting the environment,
reduced trade barriers, the rule of law — what were thought to
be settled principles until Trump crowned the ambitions of many
extremists in the United States and Europe as well. Then, on
Sunday night, to no one’s great surprise, Merkel announced that
she will run for a fourth term as chancellor in the 2017
elections.
...
On Thursday, Obama said that he was
optimistic that Trump would rise to the demands of the presidency
but acknowledged that Merkel would have “great burdens to carry“
internationally. But making dramatic promises that one can’t
keep is not Merkel’s style. The expectations being put on her as
“the last pillar” of western liberalism, she said on Sunday
evening, were “grotesque, even almost absurd.”

Think about
it: Merkel is called to play the role of the global savior of a
system that has been occupied by the banksters and the corporate
lobbyists, against the nightmare of the extreme nationalists!
Take a
picture of it and start to sense the degree of degeneration of the
West.
Frau Merkel has done a good job for a real long time now,
ReplyDeleteand it is time for Germany to enter a new and different time.
I believe that Herr Steinmeyer or Schultz would make excellent
chancellors. This is for the good of a country I no longer live
in, but still love and remain with in close contact.
