The Teutonic nations need to leave the Euro ASAP.
I read somewhere that in order to gain France’s acceptance of German reunification, the Germans had to swallow the Euro. All along the rest of Europe sought to live a life of leisure on the back of the German economy. Now that reunification is a fact, the Germans can pull the plug on the Euro. Let the frogs and the other “southern European” states form their “bloc.” Once the Germans cut the lifeline, they will drown in their debt.
For over a century, the French have been fighting the forces of history that indicate that the Germans will dominate Europe. They were lucky that the first two times the Germans tried, the Germans tried it militarily, had idiots for leaders, and the French had lots of friends. Now, the Germans are going about it economically, and the French have no friends.
