    Dude, you need to start reading the posters names. It was Kaira (or however she's spelled) that walked the walk, I talked about Romans and GoblinP and I were talking about which kind of mile she was talking about.

    I'm honestly pretty sure that if Germany invades Holland, having an army will make no difference whatsoever. Because Germany would either get instagibbed by the rest of NATO, or it's part of a 3rd world war which will end the world anyway xD

    And UKIP may have shown just how useless those populistic parties are. This could very well have the reverse effect and bring countries closer together. Especially after the shakedown of the markets. This is just a preview, remember that. This is markets just reacting the the legally not binding referendum. This is markets reacting to just the IDEA that the financial services sector around London could be transferred to mainland EU.
    We live in hope. Need to defeat Le Pen though before we close that door though.

Greece, however, sent everyone into a wild panic. And in that atmosphere, the EU turned to Germany for help and Germany helped in the way they knew best, austerity + money + responsible spending = better economy in 5-10 years. Everyone here in Germany knew that the southern states would suffer short term, but we were convinced, still are, that in the long term, it'll be better for them.

    History will prove us right or wrong. Either way, the southern states needed to wake up. Still need to wake up. The EU is not their piggy bank. They'll have to work on a way to sustain themselves.
    The first Greek bailout was in 2010, before the portuguese.

    Anyway, as I said before, the portuguese problem wasn't the lack of work, it was the bad banking investments and fast earnings the elites expected from those investments, the same as in the rest of the world. With 2008, all of that crashed on a small country with a services and tourism economy.

    It's a shame the EU let Scotland down the last time they made a break for independence.

    Actually, if Germany goes to war, we will be marching through the Netherlands! This is by design, since they will do the maritime logistics for us. An agreement is in the works about that. Cool stuff, huh?

    To be fair, this UK harakiri does seem to result in some positive EU evolution, so thx for falling on your sword for the rest of us, Brits

    Nah, you gave us Rudi Carell. We can never invade you again after that. He made us like you and the way you speak German.

    Also, our battles on the football pitch are way more entertaining! People still talk about the quarter finals in WC '90 here.

    Bloody Rijkaard...

    Indeed we should have been there to rig the election to further our globalist agenda.

    Why would any country, eurosceptic or not try to imitate that?
    Because that would give more ammunition for the extremists. If Le Pen in France, or the Five Start Movement in Italy, etc. started to push for the talks for their own extra benefits - even if they will never get it - that would give them more voters and ultimately more hatred against the EU. Populism and a 'war on a common enemy' are very strong tools.

    You are from Hungary, just look at them. Soon there will be a referendum against Brussels' immigraiton policy, and the ruling party will win on that, that's granted. It's also granted that it won't do nothing against the EU policy, because that is not how the EU works / it's a done deal already. Yet, this machination is more than enough to make Orban get more political clout and score some cheap votes in the next election.

    I actually love the fact that when it comes to football, Holland and Germany get REALLY pissy with eachother. xD Like... snide attack adds in newspapers. But as soon as one of us is eliminated we start to cheer for the other xD

    Or support them when they asked if you would accept them on seperation.

    I guess i just can't get past the comedy of british nationalism being derirded and scottish nationalism celebrated. When they both retarded, and both decisions are retarded
