I can’t believe just how wussified the Germans are.
They are insulted by all sides because they loan money to these governments that ran their countries into the ground and couldn’t pay their bills.
The fact is that EU needs Germany more than Germany needs the EU and it could leave, restore its own sovereignty and survive while the countries around it wouldn’t survive 5 minutes without getting bailed out.
What are they going to do?
Sell their souls to China for to bail out their grotesque welfare states?
I fear not the so called “Forth Reich” The present German unified Nation. I fear the coming Fifth Reich—what will replace it in the future. This government will not be so wimpish and hearken back to Germany’s glorious past.
Germany has all of its own sovereignty. It’s the only country in the EU that does. What I don’t get is how people seem to think of Germany as being anything like the USA. They and the other EU elites that do everything they tell them created this fiscal crisis; they’ve got a “solution” up their sleeve. (Come on; the Bundestag is reviewing the budgets of countries that are supposedly themselves “sovereign”—if the USA were in their position, do you expect Congress to review other countries’ budgets?)
“The fact is that EU needs Germany more than Germany needs the EU and it could leave, restore its own sovereignty and survive while the countries around it wouldn’t survive 5 minutes without getting bailed out.”
Not true. Germany needs these EU nations depreciating the currency to meet their mercantilist goals.
