Former chancellor Merkel told Rheinmetall “We don’t really need you”, CEO reveals
Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger has publicly criticised former chancellor Angela Merkel of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), claiming she was highly dismissive of the defence company and that Germany would rely on the United States in times of crisis.
Speaking at the Welt Security Summit on July 2, Papperger recounted that Merkel had told the arms sector: “We don’t really need you, if there is a problem we call the Americans.” The dependence on Washington, he suggested, had been a deliberate choice.
Donald Trump already knows it was a deliberate choice of course, hence his attitude and wider US attitudes towards Europe. Fully deserved attitudes too.

Trying to leave Europe defenceless beneath it all. Insane.
Not a big Donald fan, but I kinda get it.......
I do wonder for whom Angela was working. She let in 1m 'refugees' and muddied quite a few pools. She was E. German after all......
"Rheinmetall told chancellor Merkel we don’t really need you”. Works just as well.
Former Young Communist.
James - yes they are trying to leave Europe defenceless, they feel secure but they don't think we should.
Chris - she wasn't working for Germany from what I saw.
dearieme - who grew into an old communist.
DJ - they don't now, they seem to have outlasted her.
