Germany is the only country in Europe that can act to save the eurozone and the wider European Union from “a crisis of apocalyptic proportions”, the Polish foreign minister warned on Monday in a passionate call for more drastic action to prevent the collapse of the European monetary union.

The emergence of the new Prussian Empire.
And what happens after the EU burns through all of Germany’s money?
They just want to keep kicking the can. How about Poland having its own money again? How about Poland NOT pledged to bailout irresponsible countries. How about countries not going into massive debt.
Maybe thats the answer??
the inevitable...
Let the EU fail. Deutschland über alles.
Another "poor Germany" post. Why would Germany force their money on countries post-crisis? Huzzah for the social market economy, because you get to stay in it if you allow Germany to review your budget before your national government gets to see it, and accede to Germany's demands to pay back the loans that were forced on you before considering any more governmental spending (which means that Berlin becomes your national government)?
And what happens after the EU burns through all of Germany’s money?
The open emergence. Same kind of money games that the Prussian Empire played, too.
The emergence of the new Prussian Empire
Germany can probably be guilted into trying to save Europe for awhile longer. The German public doesn’t like it and has taken their wrath out on the ruling conservatives, but the social/left party’s are even more wedded to a united Europe and will do the same thing.
It’s all just kicking the can down the road. The bottom line is European nations can’t afford their social welfare states - and those burdens are only growing. It’s just a matter of time till things really go bad, but they can probably kick the can for a few more years. Expect Germany to do all the things they claim they’d never do now in effort to save the Euro - it might buy them some breathing room but it won’t solve the problems.
Then they start to March.
Actually, I mis-spoke.
It's probably closer to the emergence of a new Frankish Empire. There's a coalition of Northern European states with France, Switzerland and Austria that are sure to break from the EU.
The British and the Latin states are likely to be left on their own.
Total and complete hogwash.
Admit it.
NOBODY FORCED anyone in Europe to borrow the money.
Admit it.
Who cares? Consumers are going into debt again at record levels to buy useless Xmas junk made in China! Go Dow Jones! Weeeeee!!!
We can't know for sure what Germany will do, but the odds are good that the Ardennes forest will be involved.
Wow. There's a combo for the ages.
I have heard that Germany is printing up duetche marks.
They aren’t going to get pushed around forever.
If they do not they will never be paid. The fed has trillions floating around the EU who will pay that back.
If people think Germany is going to fork over money on demand then they are severely ignorant.
