I don't think that is an accurate translation.

Donald Trump Is a Menace to the World: Opinion - SPIEGEL ONLINE
1. You don't speak for the rest of the world.

2. You could post online news articles from around the world all day long and it still wouldn't speak for
"a lot of the world"

3. A writer for Spiegel Online ruminating about OUR president, carries as much weight with me as the opinion of my old mother in Australia and my old dead grandmother in Norway. IE: None

4. Germany has the right to bring in as many third world refugees as they want. They have the right to increase the burden on their own social safety net, their health care system, their education system, their criminal justice system, their public housing system and more. They have the right to completely and forever transform the culture of their own nation. They have the right to compromise the physical safety of their own citizens. German politicians have the right to gut out their country in the name of political correctness, and Germans have the right to let their politicians do so. What they DON'T have the right to do is be superior and smarmy about the choices that Americans make. And what Americans (such as the superior and smarmy OP) SHOULDN'T be doing is pointing to Germany as the bastion of good sense, while knocking the US as if we have lost our collective minds.

Because we haven't.

Well my perspective is that Merkel is the real menace to the world with her using economic leverage to keep the borders open in Europe, inviting in any and all radical Islamists who want to kill everyone not like them while she eats her cake. She's a SS wannabe dictator.

So he's just like the people Germany has been gleefully importing from the Middle East by the tens of thousands?

What do you expect them to do? If they don't accept "refugees", the world is going to say, "Oh look, the Nazis never learn from their history."
Can't win.
That is not what the "world" would think, that is what progressives would think and use in their propaganda.

The ONLY real threat to humanity is the misguided Leftist ideology. That get's more people killed than anything else.

She is literally responsible for one of the greatest short term migrations in history, with no plan, no contingencies... just a "hope" that things will work out.

She has encouraged people to take dangerous risks to get to Germany. People who have no business trying to migrate there. Thousands have died that should have just stayed put. And the saddest thing she's basically one of the more CONSERVATIVE offerings Germany has, since they can never get over their Nazi guilt enough to elect in the AFD.



Germany will be unrecognizable in a few decades. And it's not like the cancer will just stay in Germany, but will spread to the remainder of the EU.


And as the "new Germans" are tearing down old statutes of German kings, poets and philosophers (they're all colonizing racists, you see) and converting cathedrals to mosques, the Germans can pat themselves on the back for being "nice people".
the american invasion of iraq in 2003 resulted in the exodus of refugees into europe , america caused this migrant crisis with its wars for israel

americans are so ignorant of what their country does , it would be funny were it not so tragic

Attempting to instill guilt into the American people for the actions of our politicians won't work. Germany is Exhibit A of what happens when collective guilt rules. LOOK - we're not Nazis. We've grown. We've evolved. See what loving, caring people we are now? We embrace refugees. We give them homes, money, food. We're good people. We're loving people. Do you SEE US NOW? We're not hateful, destructive Nazis. REALLY - we're not. Don't you SEE how loving we are? How accepting we are? We're good people. Really - we are.

My people conquered, enslaved, raped and pillaged their way across Europe. Do I feel guilt for what the vikings did? No I don't. Because that perspective is stupid. Destructive. Self-destructive.

So is the white guilt floating in this country. So is the self-hatred because of what American ancestors did to African slaves. It is insanity. Just like the concept of forcing Americans to LIVE with tens of thousands of refugees that liberals would force on the American people if they had their chance.

Decent and good people have an obligation to try and help those in need. That includes those refugees who are truly disenfranchised because of war. But destroying our own nation (or gutting Europe) in failed attempts to "help" is a fools game. Destroying ourselves to help others is a fools game. And no amount of attempted shaming will change that. I don't even recognize the stupidity of Europe anymore. And I am beyond grateful that so many Americans don't want to play that fools game.

Silly Europeans. Perpetually buying the BBC and leftist narratives. No wonder your continent is dying and you're being replaced by more resilient populations.

Apparently you're still buying the "refugee" narrative peddled by your media and leaders when 80% of those arriving on Europe's shores are confirmed ECONOMIC migrants. Males between the ages of 18 and 40. Whom you do NOTHING about and watch as they rape your wives and groom your daughters and openly mock your impotence and lack of will to do anything about it.

You have people who are literally picking up boat loads of young men from Africa and dropping them off in Greece and Italy. Again, boats that are 90%+ filled with young men. Refugees indeed!



If it was JUST refugees -real refugees - from Syria and even Iraq, it probably wouldn't be a problem. But it's not just them, is it? American invasion of Iraq does not account for the daily boat loads of Eritreans and Northern Africans streaming into Europe. It doesn't even account for the Afghani refugees, which have been streaming in for decades.



And by the way, ISIS is an offshoot of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, which already existed prior to the American invasion in 2003. And if you think Saddam acting as "strong man" would have kept the lid on that, ask yourself why hasn't Syria's "strong man" been able to do the same? American war in Iraq sure "destablized" the region - only by revealing the utter incapacity of Arab Muslims to live amongst each other without resorting to sectarian violence. Not ONE American or Western life should EVER be sacrificed or put on the line again for ANY reason in the Middle East.

It's like you Irish and English when you were blowing each other up for decades. Only on a much greater scale and a feud that goes back much further.

It's funny that you don't even seem to have a grasp on Europe's "migrant" crisis and the origin and demographics of the people you're inviting in to replace you as a civilization. And yet you deign to lecture on American ignorance.

Utter mental muppetry.
