[T]he respected German weekly Der Spiegel reported in its latest edition that Merkel wants EU leaders to forge ahead with deeper political integration within the unwieldy 27-nation bloc.
Merkel has long advocated closer political integration as a means of preventing the European project from unraveling under the strain caused by the eurozone crisis.
…You know something, Germany? Fine. It’s just not worth it. Are the French on board? Good. You going to leave the Brits alone, when they tell you to sod off? Glad to hear it. No barbarism planned, this go-round? Very smart of you. OK. Yeah. Go ahead and have your Wholly German Empire, and don’t make us come over there again.
Can we get them to rename the EU the Holy Roman Empire? I’ve always thought it has more of a ring to it.
Saving Europe twice is enough.
As long as they leave the Brits be and don’t hassle our tourists, they can have it!
Mew
if we’re renaming things, how about changing Germany to Prussia?
HA! So begins the new German Hegemony!
(sigh). These things always end badly.
The Fifth Reich? The last one didn’t go so well.
…and so it begins.
