Germany to host G-7 summit, Obama to attend, 17,000 "police officers" for the alpine meeting
G-7 Summit: Huge Security Operation Around Castle Elmau, Germany
NBCNews.com - ‎1 hour ago‎

ELMAU, Germany - World leaders including President Barack Obama will be guarded by 17,000 police officers when they arrive high in the southern German Alps for two days of meetings at the G-7 summit this weekend.

a) 17,000 police officers? Are they expecting to need to repel an invasion?

b) Some in the E.U. think Chancellor Merkel wields too much power. Is Germany hosting this G-7 playing into that?

c) It's G-7, not G-8? Does that mean they're keeping Putin out? Punishing him for Crimea, and Ukraine?

d) What do you think the G-7 should concentrate on? If they discuss China, should the argue to more wary of China, due to things like the recent hack of the U.S. government's computer, obtaining personal information of as many as 4,000,000 U.S. government employees?

- or -

Should we do as Secretary Paulson recently suggested, and try to solidify a more constructive relationship with this emerging global power?

Since the inception of the E.U.,
Germany has been the economic powerhouse.
Let them wield power.

Merkel, might not be happy with
obonzo and the nsa,
spying on her phone and internet.

Germany has some very 'unique' privacy
laws. With any luck, for the u.s.,
obonzo will serve the rest of his term
as potus, getting his crack spackled
in a German prison.

Germany and western europe have huge immigrant issues and recent violence of Islamist terrorists. The police alone may not be enough

Angela Merkel has not been powerful enough to say no to the Euro and open borders

They have every right to keep Russia O-U-T What happened in the Ukraine is certainly one justifiable reason (but IDK if they are keeping them out - just saying it is understandable if they do)

If they discuss China they should be wary of how much money the west owes them


just guesses here. I haven't read any good intell yet on the conference
