Very good book with excellent essays drawing a critical balance of the different aspects of the tragically long and sdisastrous Merkel years. Yes, 16 years, far too long for any leader, especially for a leader without real leadership qualities like Merkel. Her chancelorship was not just wasted years, but caused irreversible damage to Germany, the CDU, the European Union and global security.
She destroyed the CDU, which was once a Christian conservative party, but today the C is only an empty letter in the partys acronym and hardly distringuishable from the green party or the SDP. In the end, she helped a lot to the cration and emergence of the AfD.
She crazily let in more than one million undocumented Middle Easterns and stuck in her head and made it a taboo to even talk about the lack of integration and the danger and cost to society that these masses have caused and will cause in the long term.
She was the champion of the world's stupidest energy policy, the famous Energiewende, throwing billions of euros of taxpayers money out the window to pursue dubious climate goals in the end creating a less stable, more expensive energy supply with larger emission. Her emotional decision to phase out nuclear energy in a rush made her and Germany a laguhing stock in the world. Moreover, her stupid decision to rely more on Russian gas in her Energiewende made Germany and Europe more dependent on Putin's Russia.
She kowtowed to Putin and let him get away with his aggression against Ukraine in 2014/15.
She neglected the Bundeswehr and defence policy.
Her inaction and refugee madness was a key factor in Brexit, in the end making the European Union weaker.
These are just the list of her main sins. Let's hope Germany recovers and leave behind Merkel's disastrous legacy.
