The thing is that it's not even true.
The last time we were "Exportweltmeister" was 2008.
We haven't even been "Exportvizeweltmeister" for years.

Way to make sure that Merkel hates Putin even more than she already does + make that position way more popular in the population.

Julia who?

The failed politician who lost two elections consecutively in Rhineland-Palatinate, a former CDU stronghold?

She actually thinks anybody at the Kremlin even knows her?

Cute.

Maybe you are too young, but there was a time our politicians even accepted the Warsaw Pact invading Czechoslovakia in 1968, or Merkel rooting for the Iraq war in the 2002 elections.

Welcome to Realpolitik.

Randomly...yeah you don't even know what you are talking about.

The Crimea Invasion was a cold calculated geopolitical move to secure Russia's maritime power in the black sea. Every politician involved knows about that and that the Russians would rather accept heavy sanctions than losing their most important warm water port.

No hype yet, but I will watch anyways. Maybe I will be surprised, but so far things go as expected. Schulz tries to provoke and Merkel blocks everything. Well, lets see...

"I thought about a church today" is my favorite sentence of this duel.

Jesus Christ, from this duel you might get the perception that immigration/deportation and religiousness are our biggest problems.

This duel shows perfectly why the AFD is so strong right now. If you wouldn't know better, you would think, that nothing is more important than the deportation of refugees and that Germany is nearly collapsing...
