In other words, shower billions of dollars upon them and give them everything they want to keep their nuclear program going. Yeah, that’ll work.
This is essentially the way Western diplomacy has operated for decades. It doesn’t work. Many basic premises need to be reevaluated. Many swamps need to be drained.
“Merkel Proposes Iran-Style Deal To End North Korea Crisis,” by Jacob Bojesson, Daily Caller, September 10, 2017:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is ready to discuss a deal similar to the one made with Iran in 2015 to end North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs.
Iran agreed to curb its nuclear work in exchange for the lifting of most sanctions. Germany was one of the countries behind the deal, and Merkel believes it had a “good end.”
The chancellor is ready to sit down for similar discussions with North Korea as the situation becomes increasingly hostile.
“I could imagine such a format being used to end the North Korea conflict,” Merkel said in an interview published Sunday in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung. “Europe and especially Germany should be prepared to play a very active part in that.”…
Wellington says
Wretched woman. Destructive in her policies for many generations to come. Perhaps forever.
Westman says
Germany is the rudder and economic engine of the EU, shared in the minority by France. If Germany coughs, the lesser states catch pneumonia.
It’s the same old reach for domination using economics as the subjugating power, instead of weapons, and Merkel is in control. She will be re-elected because the people want a decisive leader and respectful recognition – even more than a wise leader. “We can do it” is not a slogan unique to Merkel. The EU, faced with the real cost of NATO, is making overtures toward creating its own military; a military that would be dominated by which countries?
mortimer says
What’s Merkel’s ‘proposal’? To send 10 million Muslims to North Korea?
Wellington says
Actually, mortimer, that would be a positive. Totalitarians of different stripes face to face. I’m encouraged. After all, ten million Muslims in North Korea would concentrate malevolency for “an easier strike.” Besides, crooks will tear each other apart when faced with one another. Win/win here I think.
Vance says
Whenever I see a picture of this “lady,” I think: “Stupid, chit for brains white woman.” If anyone still thinks that the Germans (that keep electing this world class air head to public office, and letting her drive Europe and Germany off a cliff) are “The Master Race” I submit they are only the masters of stupidity. If Merkel does write an autobiography it s/b called “How to Kill the Goose that lays Golden Eggs.” What a Jacka$$ this “woman” is.
So, when EU and Germany go down the toilet, will the US bail out this fools? I hope not. They deserve to be enslaved by Islam.
Wellington says
The EU and Germany, Vance, do deserve what you suggest but it would be deleterious in the extreme for the US (and Western Civilization in general) to allow this. Again can be seen the necessity of the New World coming to the rescue of the Old, if just for preservation’s sake, though huge ethical reasons also exist.
My God, has Western Europe fallen down time and time and time again? The short answer is “yes.” It started two world wars which America (at great cost) had to finish. And you actually have fools enough in Western Europe, still, who think the Cold War was Truman’s fault. Seems there no end to European stupidity. Increasingly it is a continent with very nice relics and very foolish people.
Yes, what I just proffered is a very American perspective, but that in and of itself does not invalidate said perspective. No, not at all I would contend. Sometimes, you know, it is easy to state the truth though others aplenty do not like, or understand, it.
Daniel Triplett says
Agreed. Allowing Europe to collapse into Dar al-Islam would have existential consequences to the Western Civilization we share with them. We can’t allow that.
You’re right, there’s no shortage of European Useful Idiots. So many arrogant Leftists suffering from “Smartest Guy in the Room Syndrome,” We have plenty of these fools in America too.
A European Civil War is already in progress, but only one side is fighting — the animals who declared it. For the time being, their weapons are primarily the womb and the hijrah, We can’t allow a European Muslim majority to control the nukes. The natives better start fighting back, and soon. The West desperately needs leaders such as Orban, Wilders, Duda (Poland), and Le Pen.
Since nukes are obviously no solution for the European crisis, a conventional military strategy will be required, and it’s going to be bloody for both sides. I’m sure American Patriots, for the third time within 100 years, will join the fight to rescue Europe. We need to get the fight on soon though. The longer this crisis develops, the more desperate and violent the solution will be. The Muslims won’t be leaving or apostatizing without force.

Even if one cared nothing for Europeans, an Islamized Europe would be a disaster for the remnants of the free world–the US, Canada, and Australia.
tired vet says
The idea to leave things be is tempting, but if worst comes to worst, and America chooses not to intervene…there may well be a nuclear-armed Eurabia in our future. Lately, I’ve been concerned about Canada…we may need a wall up there soon. Also, there is much to be worried about right here at home…because the Left seems determined to gum up the works and prevent us from taking the necessary actions that put us on the path to future safety and stability. I fear for my children and grandchildren.

Considering North Korea is threatening us, I don’t see how this concerns her

Merkel proposes Iran-style deal to end North Korea crisis
………………….
Yeah–’cause this has worked so well with Iran:
“Iran boasts that it tricked the world and can now start making nukes”

Holy Tshinge Maduha Ncube says
This woman is out of control like a rabid dog…She os the ruin of Europe..After flooding Europe with muslim barbaric scum…now she is proposing this insanity..Her bodyguards must let her walk alone in the streets so the muslims may rape her half to death while yelling allah akhbar….Maybe she might come to her senses…
nicholas tesdorf says
Ten million new Muslims in North Korea would really concentrate the North Korean minds, but I’m not sure that this is what Merkel intended. Her idea would but much, much sillier.
Jon Cassar says
I don’t think any rational person would take any advice from the likes of Merkel. She’s respopnsible for what’s likely to be the cultural suicide of Europe. Leave the Koreas alone!
jura says
I remember beginning of 2000’s when North Korean students were studying at Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineereing in Prague after an American deal with North Korea mediated by Madeleine Albright.
North Korean students completed like 3 semester till the American-NK deal collapsed.
Last year deputations of representatives of Iranian nuclear industry were appearing on visits in Czech nuclear industry companies .
Thank God, last week Czech Parliament remembered a law from the beginning of 2000’s prohibiting any cooperation with Iranian nuclear industry and confirmed validity of that law.
I am not deluded into thinking that other nuclear companies in Europe do not cooperate with Iran.
Gamaliel says
There is a fascinating book about North Korea written by a man who escaped from there called “Dear Leader”. In it the author speaks about a strategy to get concessions from South Korea. The South was willing to give money and food to North Korea in return for peace. The problem was that once there was peace the south would not have an incentive to give the North money. So the north had to find a way to keep the money going. Their solution was to carry out provocations at sea. In one case they rammed South Korean ships with their ships. Then they accused South Korea of provoking them. The North had to walk a fine line of provoking the south just enough to get aid. The book didn’t say the following but it is obvious that the North has been playing the United States. In addition to provocations and scary threats to motivate the U.S. to give money for peace the North has been developing nuclear weapons so that the West in order to stop nuclear weapons development will give them money. There again stopping the nuclear development completely would remove the incentive for the West to give money so the best approach is to temporarily stop any visible development until getting an influx of money and then starting it up again. The author of the book explained that the North Koreans see negotiations as a way of manipulating the West and not as a way to make peace. Their goal is not peace.
Daniel Triplett says
I have to think killing Fat Boy and his family would end the 67 year Korean War. No massive military attack required.
The N Korean people aren’t like the Ummah. Although indoctrinated to say so publicly, under duress, there’s no evidence the people want to conquer and subjugate the World. They’re just being bullied by a tyrant. Assassinate/Execute the Kim family: Problem solved.
Ideally, we’d lean hard on China to do the hit. They have much easier access.
Perhaps we could make a deal with China. We could reunify the peninsula as a democracy, under the control of the S Korean sovereign, which means a US friendly nation on the Chinese border. In return, we remove the US Military from the Korean peninsula, and agree not to base any nukes there.
Instead, we should base our nukes in Japan as a deterrent.
abad says
Merkel has proven to the world she is incapable of thinking clearly.
A nation’s leaders should have the ability to think clearly.
Therefore, Merkel has failed as a leader of Germany.
Kilfincelt says
Merkel’s idea has been tried and failed.Stupidity is doing the same thing over again that has already failed. Germany is being run by and idiot.
Darryl Kerney says
Gee,
Wasn’t BILL CLINTON’S N.K. “deal” supposed to stop them from getting nukes??????
The deal that was hailed just as proudly as obama’s nuke deal with Iran, but FAILED, just as the Iran deal will FAIL,
Merkel thinks THAT will help ?
You know what they say about trying the very same thing and expecting different results…..
Del says
Deals with Arabs and Muslims will ALWAYS fail.
Voytek Gagalka says
This bitch knows exactly that this “proposal” will be laughed at and rejected for obvious reason that, as history proves, it will not work because it CANNOT work. What she counts on (in my humble opinion), however, is to put on fast track candidate list from “Peace” Nobel Prize winners. She is not stupid. She is evil to the core and extremely cleverly cunning, so it is.
clap says
“Multiculturalism has failed.” was the only intelligent thing that this woman has ever said.
Fools says
Germany caused two world wars and in the last one invaded and killed millions. Now the nazi hunn is against these countries again. She condemns England for Brexit, is at war with Poland, Hungary and the Czech republic re the migrant issue. Note how anti semitic the nazis and the Muslims are. Is this a Merkel sinister plot for Germany to try to take over the world again, starting with Europe?
FredParsons says
Dane Geld does not work. Read all about by Kipling
Del says
It hasn’t worked before you stunned cow, so why do you think it might work this time? Look at the Obamidiot’s Iran deal – billions in gifts and all they did was increase their nuclear weapons and sponsorship of terrorism.
Does she think NK got their nuclear shit with pixy dust? FK.
