And while politicians such as Francois Hollande are talking positively about Europe’s prospects, the IMF issues a dire warning that the eurocrisis is far from over and that grave dangers lie ahead. Thereby throwing the proverbial spanner in the works of the Euro propaganda machine.
All the upbeat Euro myopics, from Francois Hollande to all the rest of them, keep saying that the crisis has ended or is ending. It’s a bit surprising that when they reiterate this wishful thinking at several month’s intervals, they see no reason at all why they should explain why it didn’t happen the last time they stated it had.
They are so desperate that it MUST happen that they keep repeating it like a mantra so it will happen, all the time clutching at straws, instead of making a serious assessment of what is really going terribly wrong and putting it right. But that’s what comes from a Union created NOT to reconcile France and Germany and thereby bring harmony and cooperation to the Dark Continent, but to embody and give expression to this conflict.
In has excellent book “The Rotten Heart of Europe”, Bernard Connolly anlyses this underlying rivalry all too well. How the EMU came about from this Franco-German struggle each to dominate or get the better of the other, with Germany always being the one destined to win the struggle, in the end.
Resulting in a Pyrrhic victory of necessity, however, since the problem of the Euro would be resolved on the streets of Paris. If Hollande carries on in this criminally inept way, I dare say that is precisely what will happen. And perhaps not only in the Streets of Paris either, once Berlin has had its way with Europe.
German victories do have a propensity to be short lived and end up in creating absolute havoc.
