As a german student, i don't really remember the time before merkel. I was 5 years old when Merkel took the CDU-chair. It's really the end of an era.

I have always wondered how merkel can do such a hard job for so long. She is 64 and looks very healthy.

I ask myself the same about Putin, and other long term “dear leaders”. I suppose an even deeper question is, does she realise she destroyed Europe?

The previous one, Gerhard Schröder, is still alive. The one before was Helmut Kohl and we are already back to 1982!

I want to see a list of all countries sorted by the number of their former presidents that are still alive. Could be an interesting metric coupling democracy and longevity.

She spread her legs open for the garbage of the world wanting to turn Europe into the dysgenic trash heap that is America. Good riddance traitor.
