The European Union, a hope for peace that rose from the fires of World War II, paused Wednesday to honor its past and ponder its future — and how it can ensure it still has one in light of the anti-austerity anger expressed this week by voters in France and Greece.
Hogwash. NATO is the organization to keeps the peace in Europe, designed to keep Russia out, American in, and Germany down, as it was famously quipped.
Remember that joke about how Heaven is wonderful, where the French are the cooks, the British are the police, and the Germans are the administrators? Hell is similar, except that the British are the cooks, the Germans are the police, and the French are the administrators.
The European Union is the Hellish version of NATO, where the EU is designed to push America out, let Russia in, and--well, to also keep Germany down. Not everything changes.
But the idea that Brussels eurocrats (and their precious euro) are all that stand between peace and war in Europe is just laughable:
Yes, of course, we all know, the euro is the bright new dawn, the vital step in stopping Germany from invading France. Again. No one seems to have noticed it that they managed it last time and having experienced the place seem to have no desire at all to go back. So this might not be a problem that needs a solution.
Europeans may well keep their peace. But they will lose their freedoms as the purported price of keeping that peace--and their currency.
