German Chancellor Friedrich Merz speaking to the assembled WEF poobahs at Davos, about his evolving Weltanschauung.
The new world of the great powers is founded upon power, strength and when necessary, force. It is not a cozy place.
My reaction to Herr Merz? Welcome to what is sometimes referred to as "adulting." Post-war Europe has had a greatly protracted 'adolescence,' symbolically living in America's 'basement' and sponging off us. It should have ended 25 years ago, if not earlier.
