Heard It Before

After a serious depression, the German government pledged to make the nation stronger, to join with other European nations in a project to culminate in a single European polity. After the Sudetenland slips into the Union,  all eyes turn to Poland to join. And Italy sees the sense of doing as Germany demands.

We have been here before you see. And whilst a sane man would think it ridiculous to start a war with huge loss of life, just to take over other countries, so today we see the destruction of economies to do the same thing. Rerun the scenario with France and Buonaparte (yes, he wasn't even French) if you like. There is a reason why Britain was slow to get involved with the EU project and it relates to why it is always Britain that tries to put things right in Europe, after the latest continental dictator has had his go.

It's probably not connected that France has recently been quietly increasing its military capabilities.
