Where debating everything under the sun is only the beginning

People are exercising too much English... it affects the brain.

Merkel was a fool to accept male refugees. It will be her political untergang.

I agree on this and most people here no matter of what political color do as well.
Wonder if you know why she did it. At any rate it wasn't human kindness something she was praised for oversea.
But the ultimative plan of our ally had to be cached into a toughing narrative...
She got duped and tries now disperately to paddle back so far she can.
Nobody really cares about her political future, something that isn't important.
Due to her stupidity she did a lot of harm to the EU - raise of nationalism, xenophobia and social tensions. It's a dangerous mix...
The damage she did in Germany is immense. No, I don't even take into account the aprox 50 billions of EUR which the tax payer will have to pay for refugees this year. The political damage is much worse.
The fourth pillar of a democracy is a somehow functioning free press. If you turn the media exclusively into a propaganda tool at a degree that even the stupid can realise the lie than you get a problem. Not only that nobody will believe anymore what your "free" press tells but it will be met with hostility.
We are at a point now that reporters of the "free" press need bodyguards when reporting live from demonstrations - the result of bias and falsehood.
The public service television financed with tax money and supposed to be independent, became a propaganda and desinformation cornet that hurts any normal being's intellect.
Well, I'll stop here because I get only pissed off thinking about it and the above should suffice for my todays English exercise.

1. I expect we nudged her into it (but of course, PR also played a part, as I think you'll agree).

3. Wenn ich mehr Deutsch sprechen könnte, würde ich auf Deutsch schreiben. Leider kann ich nicht. 

Another day, another assault reported from Germany.

Merkel was a fool to accept male refugees. It will be her political untergang.

Until recently, Germany had largely been spared the wrath of Russia’s state propaganda machine. Germans, in their eagerness to be conscientious world citizens and reliable business partners, were seen in the Kremlin as allies to coddle and co-opt. That view changed abruptly in 2014, when Angela Merkel led the drive for European Union sanctions to punish Russia for its war against Ukraine. Now, as the German chancellor flounders domestically because of her open-door refugee policy, she has made herself vulnerable to attack. “I’ve never seen so much glee from the Russians as during Germany’s refugee crisis,” said a diplomat in Berlin.

On Jan. 16, Russia’s state-run Channel One led the 9 o’clock evening news with a shocking report from Berlin. “Evidence has emerged that migrants in Germany have started raping children,” presenter Yekaterina Andreyeva said in the intro. That evidence came in the form of testimony by the “Aunt Marina” of a teenage girl, identified as Lisa, who claimed she had been abducted on her way to school and raped by migrants for more than a day. More proof that Germany is going to hell in a hand basket was a blurry video of a supposed recent arrival who bragged about raping a “virgin” with five other men. (Germany’s Bild newspaper later reported that the video had appeared on YouTube more than six years ago.)

Ah, yes, another assault from RT.
