Europe must take its fate in own hands, can no longer rely on US for protection: Merkel
 [PRESSTV] German Chancellor Angela Merkel ...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom. Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslems .. says Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... can no longer rely on the United States for protection, urging European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... member states to take the bloc’s destiny in their own hands. "It is no longer such that the United States simply protects us, but Europe must take its destiny in its own hands, that's the task of the future," the German leader said at an award ceremony in Aachen, a German resort city near the border with Belgium, where French President Emmanuel Macron received the prestigious Charlemagne Prize for his efforts in boosting EU integration and cohesion. Merkel’s comments came two days after US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... declared that his country was pulling out of the Iran nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), saying Washington would not only reinstate the anti-Iran sanctions lifted as part of the deal, but would also "be instituting the highest level of economic" bans against the Islamic Theocratic Republic. The JCPOA came out of years of negotiations between Iran on one side and the P5+1 group of countries -- the US, UK, La Belle France, Russia and China plus Germany -- on the other, in July 2015. The American leader announced his controversial decision after his European allies, including the UK, Germany and La Belle France, and a number of other countries failed to convince him not to pull out from the landmark accord. Trump also threatened all countries, the US allies included, with sanctions if they violated the US-embargoes against Iran, worrying Washington’s traditional allies in Europe.
