Putin has been stealing his thoughts.

Re. Merkel and Scholz, they both believe in negotiations, compromise, balancing of interest, the lot - and Merkel was a master at that game. Since uncle Volodya isn't taking part in it any more, I doubt he would have given a wet fart's worth if Merkel was Chancellor or not. He would know, of course, that Merkel had proven several times that she can act decisively when she concluded she had to (financial crisis, bank bailout, shutting down German nuclear plants, Greece remaining in the Euro, risking her Chancellorship on a massive opening of the borders with partial loss of control), and he knew that Scholz comes from a party leaning towards a more Russia-friendly line. But the difference isn't that great. Merkel allowed the Bundeswehr capabilities to got to hell, Merkel made no effort to stop Nordstream 2, Merkel didn't push for heavier sanctions after 2014 - That Germany would fall in line and commit to heavy sanctions would have been a surprise to him in any case.
It is reported, that Putin hated Merkel with a passion. A woman in power, rational, intelligent, standing her ground, humourous, ironic, conciliatory in tone but a tough negotiator - she had had everything he hates. Knowing she can't stand dogs, he had a large bulldog frolicking around the Kremlin meeting room once, the animal trying to sniff her crotch and everything. It was a disgusting show of manspreading brutality. She was reportedly in terror, but did not let it on. Challenge passed, asshole.
