History of European Union a history of the propagation of the great ideas of liberty on a continent that for centuries was torn to pieces by war. This is a story that would not have been possible without the constant encouragement and support of the United States of America. And it is also the story, the success of which ultimately was also associated with the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Now this story can end.
It is known that Vladimir Putin’s Russia is not interested in the continued existence of the EU. He wants to regain influence and power in Eastern Europe. To destabilize this region, it is good almost all the funds. However, after the election Donald trump President of the United States we know also that his America first wants to quarrel with each other a United Europe, and then to destroy it. This proves his glee about Brexia and his attacks on Germany. The European Union is one of the enemy now had two powerful enemy, and because the EU itself still has no idea about their future, the third enemy of the unity of the continent can become fragmented.
Apparently, among all other there is one country that can save the EU and Germany. Since both Putin and trump know about this, they are trying to discredit the role of the Federal Republic in Europe and isolate our country. Don’t they understand that being in Europe, Germany is an anchor of stabilization? German policy needs to respond to this, but not by stubborn resistance, and through clever diplomacy and the change of the vector.
Germany more than any other benefits from a weak Euro
Trump and his advisers blamed Germany that it is out of self-interest uses of Europe and the Euro weakens, to cheat their trading partners. Germany though not to blame for the weakening of the Euro. However, she benefits from it more than any other country in the EU as a result of ever-growing exports.
At the same time, the rest of Europe, there is little benefit from this German superiority. On the contrary. For a long time Germany enjoyed the role of overseer of the Europeans, when it was about achieving stabilization. However, we have seen dangerous levels of youth unemployment and crises companies in southern Europe. And I thought that little can be done to solve these problems. This is a misconception. We do not need to carry the German mentality to other countries and imagine that without our industrial tradition, these States are ever able to achieve well-being through a similar success in export. The EU structural funds today with great success engaged in the redistribution of resources from rich States to poor.
In addition, Germany should come to terms with the idea that without some sort of horizontal alignment of Finance of the EU will not be able to exist in the long term. The slogan “socialization of debts”, against which debate, nor to anyone will not. We also become accustomed to the fact that nobody wins as many from Europe, like Germany. In fact, both are two sides of the same coin.
Yes, we will have to pay. Because it will beneficial for everybody. Anything else would be more expensive and would cause damage to Europe.
