Well...sort of, but, actually...er, no. I'm not saying that Merkel is the new Hitler, what I'm implying is that I do not trust Germany when it comes to European politics. Merkel would have faded from the political stage, soon, and the scene will be set for a far more aggressive kind of politics. I distrust Germany's role in the emerging Europe, and I don't look forward to seeing where the EU goes next. The UK is best off, out of it. As far as Merkel is concerned; I have nothing against her, personally. She just happens to lead a country the role of which, within Europe, will be pivotal, in a few years.

Wojo 2,456 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Merkel speaks English because it's useful for today's global community. I wonder if Hitler's attitudes about Aryan purity and German superiority would have given him reason to learn smatterings of his enemies' languages. He may have just delegated such activities to subordinates. We'll never know unless real recordings of his English survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
