"At a second gathering of European Union leaders today, Nicolas Sarkozy can be seen walking towards David Cameron with his hand out. The Prime Minister raises his hand as if in greeting but as the French President walks on by, pats him on the shoulder. (Telegraph, UK).
Who cares? Right... so that's out of the way.
They congratulated themselves at making a nice neat bed while the house is burning down. European leaders met yet again; patted each others back or botty and failed to convince the money markets that water was coming out of the fire hoses. Without full fiscal union this stitched together bed spread will unravel in six months. Then what? As anyone will know who's ever walked past a shelf of books with titles like: European Wars: Lots of Them; when it all goes bye-byes, it's either Jerry or Frenchie who start that invading thingy. Not since the end of WW2 in 1945 has there been a major war (the usual ethnic cleansing, yes) but not the full Monty; and this is the longest period of peace between them all in about 1000 years. So if the Europeans revert to type, things could get bad very quickly indeed. What would stop this economic implosion followed by nationalistic explosion? Well...both the Russians and Americans could threaten to nuke the lot of them if they get up to their old ways. Not really a goer with the Brits and Frenchie having a few of their own...so...I guess they will really have to all become adults? Could be worth a bet for some folks...?
