Germany And The Euro

There has been much squealing from Germans and EU supporters about the suggestion that Germany has designs on running Europe. On the one hand we have politicians such as those on Question Time saying that they are fed up with people who cannot forget the War. It was asserted that mentions of the War are now frequent and pathetic, as it bears no reference to today.

Which War would that be? The First or the Second? Would it have been fair, for instance, to have complained about always mentioning the War when warning about Hitler and Germany in the 1930's? Mainly through the Marshall Plan, Germany was generously rebuilt by those they sought to destroy. Today, the Germans have an excellent economy based on their own values and hard work and their domination of the eurozone.

Now the stupid idea of pushing the German economic standard onto Greeks and Italians is falling apart and the Germans are getting outraged. Worse, Cameron jumps out of a Spitfire to lecture them on the problems they are causing and the Germans show their true colours.

Britain will have to join the Euro because the pound will fail, they say. Which is odd, as the Euro is in a bigger mess than the pound and why must we join the Euro anyway, what would that achieve? Nothing, but it does expose the mindset of the conqueror. They are also rabidly salivating over imposing their 'bank tax', specifically designed to undermine the City and destroy further the British economy. It is their version of the Blitz or bombing our Spitfire factories.

The tax also frees up the EU from receiving funds from national governments, who can be fickle and also it  gives them more funds to try to prop up their ridiculous construct. And it is the fact of just how ridiculous the Euro is that shows the truth of German intentions. Why would you set up something like the Euro, which imposes the German economic standards on countries that cannot survive in such a system, unless you intended to destroy them and then take them over?

The Germans are very careful not to give money in bailouts to support their mess, until 'political union' is achieved. So, no peace until you surrender? And the French are keeping their heads down, letting Germany take all the 'empire' flak, while they hope that unification occurs and Germany is exhausted achieving it. Then they will step forward to take over and really ruin Europe.

So yes, it is right to talk of German intentions, though of course it is not the War. This is a deliberate attempt to ridicule and distract. Only stupid people plan to fight the last war, just as only stupid people don't learn from history.
