"This is not the first awkward moment Merkel and Putin have shared. In a 2014 New Yorker profile on Merkel that explores her relationship with Putin, George Packer wrote that Putin brought his dog into a 2007 meeting with Merkel, who is afraid of dogs.

In 2007, during discussions about energy supplies at the Russian President’s residence in Sochi, Putin summoned his black Lab, Koni, into the room where he and Merkel were seated. As the dog approached and sniffed her, Merkel froze, visibly frightened. She’d been bitten once, in 1995, and her fear of dogs couldn’t have escaped Putin, who sat back and enjoyed the moment, legs spread wide. “I’m sure it will behave itself,” he said. Merkel had the presence of mind to reply, in Russian, “It doesn’t eat journalists, after all.” The German press corps was furious on her behalf — “ready to hit Putin,” according to a reporter who was present. Later, Merkel interpreted Putin’s behavior. “I understand why he has to do this—to prove he’s a man,” she told a group of reporters. “He’s afraid of his own weakness. Russia has nothing, no successful politics or economy. All they have is this."

I remember the incident with the dog. I think it's really despicable to use someone's fear to control a person

Blown out of proportion

They were probably talking about something else and she was rolling her eyes in response to what they were talking about.

Maybe, but this time she didn't let her personal beliefs make the law. She purposely stated that the voters would make a vote of conscience. So even if she is personally against it, she accepts that the majority is for, and as a leader, accepts the decision, and will not try to dismiss it or interfere.

The way I see it as that no one is perfect. But more importantly, you need to find candidates and politicians who you can largely identify with and support. From there, voice your concerns. Let them know how their voters feel. Obama was against gay marriage, too, at first but he realized he needed to shift his stance due to how his voter base felt. You can't expect perfection, but you can always work to make things better.

You need to be a real asshole to cause a chief of state to roll your eyes to you, they usually keep things polite to avoid drama :awkney: 

If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.
