Europe
France Is at War... With Germany
2015-11-19
[ForeignPolicy] The long-term takeaway of the ISIS attack may not be the war in Syria, but the fight for European dominance.

#8  I picked the smallest. I'd go for Andorra or lichtenstein.

#7  LOL. That's why they put Mario Draghi in charge of the central bank!

#5  Ebbang: Yes, exactly. The earliest iteration of the EU was born in 1950 as the French plan to keep Germany hamstrung and on a short leash.

Although the EU's "capital" is Brussels, Eurocrats are not actually Belgian - they're from all over the continent. Who, over time, go native and lose their local allegiances, just like our ruling class.

RJ: Luxembourg is too French. If Europe has to be centralized and run by someone, I'd pick the Swiss, who resisted getting dragged into the whole mess to begin with.

#4  #3 My current opinion of Europe is the elite of both countries are wracked with shame over their past and Luxumberg should step up and run things.

I'm okay with that, as long as Belgium doesn't try to run things. The EU (Belgian Bureaucrats) is a disaster for ALL of Europe.

#2  My impression of European unity has always been that it was France's strategy to keep their old adversaries the Germans as close as possible.

#1  See BIGNEWSNetork > [IANS] 420 [out of 43,00 generally known] POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISLAMISTS LIVING IN GERMANY.

German BKA Chief Holger Munch.

* Also from BIGNEWSNETWORK > [Telegraph.UK] ISLAMIC STATE DIVIDES THE WORLD INTO JIHADISTS AND CRUSADERS.

Yeeeuuup.

As per old childhood dreams or vsions of mine, DARE THE FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION WILL ALL THAT STANDS BETWEEN THE FINAL FALL OF FRANCE + ISLAMIC/ISLAMIST INVASION OF THE UK???

The Hard Boyz succeeding where Hitler's
"OPERATION SEA LION" + "BATTLE OF BRITAIN" [Blitz] did NOT???

As a reminder,

[ 1960's-1970's = 2014 TOM CRUISE'S + EMILY BLUNT'S "EDGE OF TOMORROW" here = "The [Counter]Invasion will fail ... every [US-Allied = Non-Muslim World] Soldier that lands on that Beach [Islamist-controlled/dominated Europe] tomorrow will die"!

IN THE MOVIE, THE BASTION OF GLOBAL RESISTANCE UK [USA?] GETS INVADED + CONQUERED BY THE ALIENS AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF THE INVASION FORCE.

But I digress ...
