Properly educated leaders are so much stronger.

"East Germany was alligned with SSSR, West Germany was alligned with rest of Europe"- literally half of Europe was socialist. Half of Europe. Europe is not just France, UK and Germany. It's been 30 years, why are people still using this bloc divide in their heads from the cold war? And why Americans can't learn Poland, Slovakia, Romania are as european as Spain or Belgium.

Me as a germany guy searching the commets for someone who also never heard of "merkeln" lol
-
Angela Merkel "Putin's Enabler" how nice is that
-
A bad one. As we can see now
-
Dear god please save Germany and the rest of the world of Armin Laschet…
-
In my opinion as a German, I would consider the time with Merkel as a time of stability.
-
She started with the opening of Nord Stream 1 and ended with completion of Nord Stream 2.
-
Helping others isn't just a Christian belief, it's basic human decency.

1:26 I believe that it is not true that “Merkel had to hold her head down” because the socialist countries had been pioneers of policies for integrating the women in the society. The fact that she concluded her studies in Leipzig at the University Alma Mater Lipsiensis shows that women could do well in that socialist system. Do not get me wrong, I do not say that DDR was not a regime.
-
lol I didn't know that "Merkeln" is a verb now
-
It’s an extraordinary feeling knowing that she became the Chancellor when I entered school and is going to step down shortly before my university graduation. Edit: What the sauerkraut is happening in the reply section?
-
Facilitating mass migration to Europe and accelerating demographic change are her main achievements.
-
She did what she was voted in for. She enacted policies of her conservative voters. I wouldn't vote for her because I am not a conservative but not because she is a bad leader.
-
Actually she voted against same sex mariage
-
09:55 I like the fact that Ms. Merkel is able to speak to Putin, Obama, Trump, May, and Johnson in their own languages. That is a tremendous advantage.
-
Great thumbnail indeed
-
Merkel did not enact same sex marriage. She publicly said many times she is against it and was one of the main reasons, it got enacted so late even though most Germans had been in support of same sex marriage for a long time. So, instead you should say it got enacted despite Merkel, because more progressive parties kept pushing for it.
-
Excellent journalism
-
Whatever you think of her on her immigration policy, she did more good to this world than bad. There isn’t many politicians you can say the same in terms of legacy
