Angela Merkel dismisses reported US request for more help against Isis

[shiryu]

Chancellor says Germany is already ‘fulfilling its part’ after reports of a letter from the US defense secretary seeking additional support


Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday brushed off what a German magazine said was a request from the US to provide more military help in the fight against Islamic State militants.

“I believe Germany is fulfilling its part and we don’t need to talk about new issues related to this question at the moment,” Merkel told the ZDF broadcaster when asked about the Der Spiegel magazine report.

Der Spiegel reported on Saturday that US defense secretary Ashton Carter had sent a letter asking for a bigger military contribution from Germany, a week after parliament approved a plan to join the campaign in Syria.

A German defence ministry spokesman confirmed a letter had been received from the US and its content was under consideration, giving no further details.

Der Spiegel said the letter did not make specific demands and was similar to requests sent to other US partners.

She can't help the US, she's got her hands full fighting the Islamic State in Germany now.

Germany doesn't even have a full fledged armed forces. They are dependent upon the American forces for even the basic defense activities. The army is devoid of artillery guns, tanks and other equipment, while the air force is short of pilots and aircraft. And occasionally, articles such as this one appears in the mainstream media:

Surprising result as we have lots of army bases in Germany.

[saddampbuh]

they refuse to spend money on their military but have all the resources in the world for islamic invaders

[bryant.coleman]

Yes. You have a lot of army bases in Germany, but all of them are managed by the United States. The German soldiers are only capable of doing the support roles. Before the WW2, Germany used to be the world leader in the manufacturing of battle tanks, fighter aircraft, and other defense equipment. All that technology was stolen.

Merkel painted herself and Germany into a corner. She's all-in now with muslim immigrants, so she can't possibly be seen as bombing muslims (Daesh). This will play out over time, but it doesn't look good for Germany.

[bitfranky]

So the same country which swelled into a malignant and almost unstoppable power in the previous century, is now finally regrowing its military, even as it assimilates thousands upon thousands of Muslims from war-torn Syria. This will definitely lead to change in the future.

Perhaps that is the reason why they are importing millions upon millions of Muslim immigrants from Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia. These migrants doesn't have any other skills. But they are quite good in warfare. In 1939, Adolph Hitler triggered the WW2, to establish an Aryan Empire in Europe. Will Merkel start WW3 in 2020, to establish the Eurabian Islamic Caliphate?

Nobody knows why Merkel started importing muslim immigrants, but it's not to help the Germans.

Well, if Germany keeps bringing more refugees into their Nation, at least they won't have to over to the mod east to fight them. Think of all the transportation costs they will save.

[bryant.coleman]

She want to hang on to power for the next 10-15 years, and creating a loyal vote bank, which will vote for her no matter what happens is very essential for that. According to her own admission, some 5 million of these unwashed migrants will arrive in Germany by the end of 2017. Imagine that each one of these immigrants will bring at least 3 of his relatives (can be much higher, as the families are quite large in the Middle East). So by 2017, there will be at least 25 million Muslims in Germany (including the 5 million Muslims who were living there even before the inflow started). They will account for 25% of the population. If Merkel is able to win just one-sixth of the remaining 75% votes, she will be in power.

You are saying 20 million people in 2 years and 15 days.

God you must be one of these 40 iq arab muslims

Dont fred merkel will ask putin to use their satan ss-18 if there will be too much muslims that she can handle lol

[bryant.coleman]

You seems to be having an IQ of 20 and ZERO English comprehension skills. For your kind information, "end of 2017" means 31st December 2017, and not 1st January 2017. Already some 1.5 million has made it to Germany in less than 12 months. So Merkel's estimate of 5 million in 36 months seems reasonable to me. Where are you from? Pakistan or Afghanistan?

Too much bs that is why i only went shortly over the text.

The refugees in germany amount to around 600.000-700.000.
Actual number from the bundesamt für migration und flüchtlinge states around 425.000 accepted and the rest in a pending process.

Merkel never said germany would take in 5 mkllion refugess in over 3 years (instead of your former 2 years and 15 days ^^")

It was the eu commision that said 5 million refugee from iraq and syria over the next 3 years to europe (end of 2018). There was no talk about germany or from merkel about this.

Btw. Your iq must now be negative if i only have 20?
Please stop spamming bullshit for 10 cents a post.
Thank you very much.

yeah!! Merkel, has accepted almost a MILLION of muslim refugees- and now this cow, in order to remain in power, starts a game of promising she will "reduce migrant influx". I cannot understand: Germans are dumb and they do not understand what´s going on- or they just don't care?

The official figure is 1.5 million, but I suspect that it is much more. The border guards are completely helpless and the migrants are just forcing their way in without anyone checking their documents or taking the fingerprints.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/05/germany-now-expects-up-to-15-mln-migrants-in-2015-report

And regarding the public reaction, there is some backlash, especially in the former Eastern Germany. But the vast majority of the Germans are too brainwashed to say anything against this madness.

Prove your number of 1.5 million.
The news article quotes expectations and is 2 months old. (English comprehension skills yada yada)
I showed real official numbers.

Dumb shits on btt never cease to amaze me.

Actually we do - it goes back to a plan hatched in 1920 to de-stabilise Europe.
