Tobias Merkendorf@WashingtonIrving @notsoloud @VikingChieftain @kimwulff I don't defend Merkel on anything. But I think I should defend her on this one.
Merkel was one of the few (during her time as chancellor maybe the only) western politicians that saw through Putin.
She was always a master of the possible and too much of a "realist" for any real strategy against russia.
Not by chance did russia start the full-scale invasion after she left office.
