Level 9

However, she has been losing control recently
Better to retire before you are forcibly retired.

Eastern Germany seems to be playing with the skinheads and Nazis again.

Me too she's very capable

Level 9

I can't say I know that much about her domestic policies, but from a distance, she seemed to have conducted herself with class and respectability. Nothing bad that I recall (except for only slowly decriminalizing cannabis and not allowing Germans to grow it.).

She badly stumbled with the EU in a way that makes me wonder if she was not accepting a greater role for Germany as a world leader. I wonder if she felt that we would get back up and do that so Germany declined the moment? If so that was a smart decision. If not then she failed with EU leadership.

@rainmanjr I also gather that she made some pipeline deals with Putin that are problematic. Allowing Russia to have leverage on a Europe that may well slip into severe winters is an invitation to surrender.

@racocn8 the pipeline is very problematic. Germany is also forging ahead with wind and solar faster than most other countries so maybe people won't have as strong a stranglehold as he is planning.

@Lorajay ...and also that mobius strip styled tokamak fusion. Version 2 is underway ...

Yes, me too. I'm afraid no one will be able to fill her shoes.
