>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.

>Special emphasis was needed on warm relations between Berlin and newly-elected French President Emmanuel Macron, she said.

>The chancellor had just returned from a G7 summit which wound up Saturday without a deal between the US and the other six major advanced nations on upholding the 2015 Paris climate accords.

>Merkel on Saturday labelled the result of the "six against one" discussion "very difficult, not to say very unsatisfactory".

>Trump offered a more positive assessment on Twitter Sunday, writing: "Just returned from Europe. Trip was a great success for America. Hard work but big results!"

>The US president had earlier tweeted that he would reveal whether or not the US would stick to the global emissions deal -- which he pledged to jettison on the campaign trail -- only next week.

>On a previous leg of his first trip abroad as president, Trump had repeated past criticism of NATO allies for failing to meet the defensive alliance's military spending commitment of two percent of GDP.

>Observers noted that he neglected to publicly endorse the pact's Article Five, which guarantees that member countries will aid the others they are attacked.

seems to me like she's primarily advocating a message of self-sufficiency, not simply just "fuck drumpf xD"

Factoring that Merkel is a die-hard advocate of transatlantic partnership and the US have been the most important ally since 1949 this is rather what >>144898
says. She's merely propagating Trump's wish of European self-sufficiency. In practical terms it will mean a political push for a European military force and a slowly growing defence budget and diplomatically defending the massive export surplus at the same time.

This is a good thing? This should be supported by Trump supporters as well as the other side of the table.

Europe being in charge of it's own defense would mean cutting back or giving up on their utopian socialized healthcare programs. They'd never go for it.

They'd rather be overrun by threats and invent reasons as to why they're better people for letting themselves be destroyed.

She is just like every other butthurt dem.

Hillary lost, get over it.

Calling a German a Democrat is hilarious.

The EU / Merkel power consolate is fucking nuts

France and the rest might as well sign over to the mighty EU Reich
>>
>>144605
If Merkel is speaking out against it... I am SOOOOOO for it. Follow the money trail on Merkel if you want the truth. The council pays her well...
>>
>>144898
Agreed. Be like Switzerland.. take care of ones own self.

I think it's pretty telling when you're 4 months into a presidency and you have to resort to an election half a year ago to point to a Trump win.

Allahu Akbar!
The U.S. must take Monroe Doctrine now.
The U.S. must withdraw American Forces from all Foreign Countries now.
Stop America's doing its all wars now!

I love American99% and the U.S.

China, Germany and Japan must loosen Germany's, Japan's and China's monetary policies now!
China, Germany and Japan must stimulate Germany's, Japan's and China's domestic demands now!
Japan and Germany must issue a lot of construction bond now!
Japan and Germany must reduce Germany's, Japan's and China's taxes now!
The U.S. must tighten its monetary policy now!
As a result, Dollar value will rise!
The U.S. will have trade surplus!

Japan, Germany and China are evil empires.
Islamists' true enemies are Japan, Germany, China, FRB, top1%, Wall Street, American Military Industry and DOD!
Japan is the country which has been promoting Globalization!!!
Allahu Akbar!

We're 4 months in and every liberal is screaming at the top of their lungs for anything related to Trump.

Remember 2 scoops?

The problem is she talks the talk but still demand us fund nato

>He eats fast food with a fork and knife!
>He eats his steak well done with ketchup!
I get that he has been the gift that keeps on giving for the news but when its a slow Trump day maybe CNN could report on something else? Its a bit offputting that they seem to invent things to be outraged over with him. Even MSNBC has a backlog of "internet nazis and you" type stories for when Trump doesnt do something crazy for a day or two

THIS
Ok, the steak thing really does reflect poorly on his character, but reporting on every little idiosyncrasy waters down the genuine criticism of a really, really bad administration.

You lost me

Nato funding is voluntary. US could stop at anytime. Shame you're a country of dipshits who don't know how shit works because you're too busy jacking off in a mirror, erect at the idea of nationalism.

>>144605
I didn't think that it would be Merkel to end globalism, but I guess we're living in a world of surprises.
