The Guardian: Do not assume US still aspires to be a world leader, Merkel warns
German chancellor says rethink will be needed if US waves goodbye to global role
The rest of the world can no longer take it for granted that the US still aspires to be a global leader and needs to readjust its priorities accordingly, Angela Merkel has warned.
“We grew up in the certain knowledge that the United States wanted to be a world power,” the German chancellor said in an interview with a group of six European newspapers, including the Guardian.
“Should the US now wish to withdraw from that role of its own free will, we would have to reflect on that very deeply.”

Update: Europe should brace for a reality in which US is no longer a world power – Merkel (RT)
WNU Editor: By virtue of its economy and military, The U.S. will be a global power for a long time. What irks German Chancellor Merkel is that the U.S. now wants other countries (like Germany) to foot some of the bill that will help maintain the U.S. as a global power. From defense spending to not giving adversaries like Russia an economic advantage (i.e. natural gas pipelines).

Well Merkel, you can then look forward to the ere of subservience to you Russian and Chinese masters.
/I hear they like their boots licked nice and clean.
More like brace for a reality where the US is no longer a German power. Easy to be social welfare state parading as a moral authority when you neither have to pay nor act in your own security interests...free ride is over.
And someday she will realize shes totally wrong.
With the same economy, pandemic, and military strength, Der Merkel would have never said this, if Hillary was president. This was nothing more than to get some digs in at Trump or to try to shit the US to her SPD-lite way of thinking by browbeating the US.
Germany under der Merkel had a 1,000 sexual assaults in one night in one city. If you measure whether a country is a super power by the sexual assault rate per capita, then Germany is a hyper power.
America will always be a world power... in clown colleges.
When will the clowning end? Never.
Merkel is another example where we listened to the left "hey let a woman do it".. brought us almost the end of the European union, which protected Europe from war. .brought us Brexit (they explicitly named her immigration policy) and of course the 1 million refugees who went on a rape and crime spree and police information was suppressed in the aftermath. She strengthened Putin, by making a huge oil deal with him while he was busy bombing civilians in Syria.
And on and on. The myth of female leadership ends this decade.
Look to Maxine Waters who called for a formation of mobs 2-3 years ago - STILL has her jobs while your cities burn. Would a man be able to keep his job after such malpractice and ethically despicable behaviour that to this day hurts people and democracy? She called for the intimidation and harassment for people opposing her views! Publicly, on record on video(!). Kept her job! Applauded on CNN! Shortly after Antifa rose to power and started beating up people in Seattle/Oregon. Hillary wanted part of the attention so she called for an end to civility until "we are back in power". At the same the lady in Myanmar publicly backs torture and imprisonment of political opponents and the Prime minister lady in South Korea was so bad and vile and corrupt they had to send her to prison.
Female leadership.
Or on CNN: mostly peaceful
I for one had enough with the female experiment and feminism. This is insane. How do they keep their jobs? No man would be allowed. They get cheered on! The result if you have protected classes.
The problem with a protected class, or classes even, like in the US: the checks and balances don't work. Imagine a white man would have literally, not jokingly, but literally and with urgency screamed at the top of his lungs, to form mobs, to get into people's faces, to harass and intimidate them. That poor guy would lose his job, would be cancelled, banned from speaking on Twitter, in effect silenced and condemned to a slow death without money or work. But women can not only do this, they get cheered on and get more money. This right there is what causes violence and war. Unchecked women who call for violence and then some stupid men who want to her laid do so. They end up in jail, all confused. .but but you cheered on maxine and hillary and AOC and Omar.they called for mobs and violence. And I thought it's OK because you all cheer.
No, man
They also cheer at special Olympics haha part of us is just giving in and humouring the madness and vileness of women. We think it's part of enabling them so they can rise. We are that dumb. They live longer than us, hehe more degrees than us, now want by law 50% of the best jobs but never 50% of the hard jobs. And we cheer them on. Enable this inhumane,volle madness oozing out of them.
You know it's half joking but half true. We create ecosystems and protected classes and protected areas for extremism hidden behind the flag of feminism. They are vile. They are wrong. It must end
Fat Girl was picked by Kohl for demographic reasons. She was from East Germany and she was female. Fat Girl was Kohl's protege and she repaid him by stabbing him in the back and assuming his place. Who says STASI snitch training does not come in handy?
Anon at 833 it doesn't matter to anyone here if she looks one way or another. I actually applaud women who put on less makeup. Look more natural. Let your arguments carry you. Not your makeup or looks
But talking about looks
How come professionalism doesn't apply to women? How come they can wear lipstick and heels and even mini skirts in an office? How is this fair? One sex is basically putting on all the signs you would do during date night but then if you dare to even raise your eyes YOU are the sexist. YOU are the vile. YOU make the sexual thoughts. .see? You are the pig and should be kicked out of office. Not the slut who puts on thick makeup, wears breast enlargers, heels, mini skirt and red lipstick.
Imagine a man would wear ball enlargers
It is absurd ..but this is the playing field and we cheer them on.
Our arguments are brought forth wearing the same navy/dark suit. Why? Because men - at least I - were taught to underdress and let your argument stand on its own. Women do not follow this principle and if you attack their argument they attack the person and make them go away. Millions of times over every day.
You want more of that kind of civilisation?
Then vote AOC/Omar and see what happens. See how quickly your thoughts will be suppressed. See how quick mobs come to your house if you dare to criticise a protected class.
They do not know what they're doing because no one dares to speak out. Tyranny has arrived and she tells you it is you who is toxic. They literally say men are toxic. The blind, boundless hypocrisy will not end until more of us say enough.
Time for Merkel to start demanding China defend her "State", I suppose.
Anon at 833 it doesn't matter to anyone here if she looks one way or another.
1) It does matter. She is in a state that has socialized medicine. In Britain they refuse to treat fat people.

2) Illness has may or will affect a leader's judgment. Historians write books on it.

3) After 15 years time, it is time for someone else especially given her track record.
Winston Churchill was overweight. I overlook it.
For a good leader, I overlook it. For a bad leader, I throw everything including the kitchen sink.
Another episode of Deutschland 20 when the chancellor says something she thinks is important but it's quickly forgotten.
Trump admits it: He's losing -
And he’s calling extreeeeeeme bullshit on the Trump administration’s new claim that Donald Trump and Mike Pence were never briefed about the bounties Russia reportedly placed on our soldiers in Afghanistan:
“He would have been briefed instantaneously. It would have been in the materials sent in to him and it would have been discussed with him.” —@David_Gergen calls into question WH claim that Trump/Pence weren’t briefed on Russia offering bounty to the Taliban to kill US troops. pic.twitter.com/mxY5ccQ5GG

CNN’s ANA CABRERA: “The White House is now denying the president was briefed on this, but if the New York Times‘ reporting is accurate, this would mean the president was briefed on this in late March. In early May he announced the U.S. had a great friendship with Russia. And later that same month, he reiterated his desire to invite Russia into the G-7. David, you have worked in four White Houses. Why wouldn’t a president have been briefed on intelligence like this?”
GERGEN: “He would have been — in every single White House that I’ve ever worked in, and every single White House I know anything about. This is very, very important information. It does affect the relationship with Russia. He would have been briefed instantaneously. It would have been in the materials sent in to him, and it would have been discussed with him. And I think Vice President Biden makes a very good point, what is raising so many objections on Capitol Hill is that this was in the same timeframe the president has extended an olive branch to Putin, inviting him to this G-7 meeting over the objections of Chancellor Merkel and others who do not want that to happen. The president stood up for him. So all of that suggests that this is a much more complicated story. What we’re possibly facing is that … the president was briefed but that he had reasons relating to his reelection and his relationship with Russia that he’s being very dovish about this.”
Wait, would the actual president of the United States stand idly by while our troops get slaughtered just so he can continue to get Vladimir Putin’s help in his reelection campaign? How could our president sacrifice the lives of our own citizens just to boost his electability?
