    Best sign of a changing world. Chancellor Merkel was invited by Putin.

    Both agreed on helping Iran in solving the current crisis. Both also said Nordstream II will be completed. That Merkel meets with Putin but snubs Trump is seen as sign, that Germany and USA have not much to talk anymore.

    "
    Angela Merkel and Vladimir Putin agreed on Saturday to fight to save the Iran nuclear deal after meeting in Moscow amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.

    The German Chancellor said “everything must be done” to keep the agreement, despite calls from US President Donald Trump to abandon it, while her Russian counterpart described the deal as “tremendously important.”


    The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JPCOA) is under pressure after Trump pulled out of it last year, triggering Iran's decision to intensify its enrichment of uranium.

    “We agreed that we should do anything to preserve the deal, the JCPOA. Germany is convinced that Iran should not acquire or have nuclear weapons," Merkel said during a joint press conference with Putin.

    "For this reason we will continue to employ all diplomatic means to keep this agreement alive, which is certainly not perfect but it is an agreement and it comprises commitments by all sides,” Merkel said.

    Merkel's visit — the first to Russia since May 2018 — came as Iran admitted accidentally shooting down a Ukrainian passenger plane shortly after its takeoff from Tehran, killing 176 passengers and crew.


    Nordstream by 2021
    Recent escalations with Iran were one of the "key reasons" for the Merkel-Putin meeting, said German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas.

    “In the eyes of Merkel, Putin is a person who has direct contacts with the Iranian leadership and can somehow influence their decisions. Against the background of Trump, he looks like a responsible politician,” said Russian political analyst Aleksandr Golts.

    Speaking ahead of their meeting and an anticipated news conference, Merkel said there was "a lot to discuss."

    Addressing Putin, she said: "I'd like to thank you that we have such an opportunity, because to talk to each other is always better than to talk about each other."

    Putin said at the news conference that he expected the Nord Stream 2 pipeline that would ship Russian gas to Germany to be finished by the end of 2021. U.S. sanctions have obstructed construction of the facility.

    Why am I not surprised, you are buddy buddy with the terrorist Iranian government and now want to buddy up with Putin. Germany has a history of oppressive governments.

    Since 1990, Germany is no more under allied rule. They can decide for themselves whether they want to serve Pootin's desires. :)

    I guess your idea of gaining respect was a President who went around the world bowing and scraping like Stephen Fetchit.

    What a shocker the "german" who claims to be against Muslim invasion is once again praising the far left liberal president, the sworn enemy of real conservative Germans who single handedly led the invasion of Muslim immigration then and now and wants to control free speech punishing conservatives.

    Now now remember the most hard core anti immigration conservatives in Germany LOVE Merkel. I mean it makes perfect sense. She's a far left socialist who led the Muslim invasion and still praises it today and wants to limit conservative speech through law like a good socialist Nazi. Clearly everything Conservative Germans love.

    Merkel flies to Moscow to discuss middle east with Putin / snubs Trump

    Merkel has a lot more to get done than snubbing Trump. Germany has seen an unprecedented spike in diseases such as tuberculoses and HIV.


    Germany: Infectious Diseases Spreading as Migrants Settle In
    by Soeren Kern

    • Some doctors say the actual number of cases of tuberculosis is far higher than the official figures suggest and have accused the RKI of downplaying the threat in an effort to avoid fueling anti-immigration sentiments.

    • A failed asylum seeker from Yemen who was given sanctuary at a church in northern Germany to prevent him from being deported has potentially infected more than 50 German children with a highly contagious strain of tuberculosis.

      Sounds just like ignorant Dems of the US with their sanctuary cities.

    3 year old article.

    Yawn. Btw this "unprecedented spike" still is only 4% of what USA has as annual tuberculosis cases.

    I'm not seeing a problem. Nor do I see it signifying a realignment, just two powers working on regional issues.

    He allowed him to put something around his neck, he didn’t bow & kiss his hand like Obama.

    If Trump was there he would be accused of being Putin’s puppet once again by the left.

    What ever happened to Merkel’s open borders?

    Did she lose her love for Muslim refugees?

    Yup, pretty much in 2016 when the far right won.

    Merkel has no own agenda. She does what polls suggest. She can be far left one day, far right next.
