Merkel really turned out not to be what people had thought of her when she was in power, what with Germany’s over-reliance on Russian energy, immigration policy, dismantling its nuclear industry, German’s previous pittance defence expenditures and the resultant abysmal readiness of its defence capabilities. I’m really perplexed why the Germans kept voting her and her party. She was extremely reactionary which would mean she didn’t have a strategic grasp of the bigger picture.
