Merkel's "funny" New Years Message

So far, Adolf Erdogan and Angela Merkel's other  friends have obviously not  succeeded in  fully decapitating the famous German sense of Humour ;) enjoy it while it lasts....

Nearly 2 years ago I wondered  if  Obama was terminally naive or working for the "dark side". Since then I have definitely  stopped giving the benefit of the doubt  to both: Merkel and Obama. 

For those who are still suffering from the Pollyanna syndrome, this advice (the source of which I have lost)  may come in handy:

"When the consequences of naivety are the same as the consequences of malice, it is wiser and safer to assume malice."
