Right around the time Merkel was in Brazil during the World Cup meeting with Putin and entertaining ideas of cooperation with Russia this little gem came out in the news: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/angela-merkel/10964629/Angela-Merkel-does-not-want-to-complete-full-term-as-German-chancellor.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/ang... Merkel later had to deny these rumours. These things don't just leak out like that. Seems more like a message sent through the media kinda like the Godfather telling you subtly that you might want to reconsider your recent actions if you want to continue to operate in his neighborhood.
