So much to say about Merkel's speech today to the CDU in Bavaria, basically calling for "Europe" to "go it's own way."

Frankfurt am Main (AFP) - Europe "must take its fate into its own hands" faced with a western alliance divided by Brexit and Donald Trump's presidency, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Sunday.

"The times in which we could completely depend on others are on the way out. I've experienced that in the last few days," Merkel told a crowd at an election rally in Munich, southern Germany.

"We Europeans truly have to take our fate into our own hands," she added.

While Germany and Europe would strive to remain on good terms with America and Britain, "we have to fight for our own destiny"*, Merkel went on.

By "we" she means Brussels Technocrats in lock step with Hallstein's, the former Nazi Teachers Union Leader, beliefs. Greece has no say, nor Spain nor Portugual nor the Czech Republic.

Walter Hallstein's Europe. Yes, Wikipedia, but well sourced and fairly balanced.

By electing the Pretty Boy Old Lady Lover Administrator, instead of the Blonde de Gaulle, France may have contributed to the coming disaster.

Germany is a perpetual geopolitical problem, it should have been kept split up in two, or better yet the Morganthau plan to turn it into an agrarian paradise should have been implemented.

Trump pulled the veil away, and the old Will to Power is returning. The EU is Germany's colony, buying all her exports, while EU regulations keep foreign finished good competitors out. Germany will not let it her Kolonies, finally gotten after a century of attempts, go lightly.

* Uh ohhhh....
