She’s trying to Federalize the EU in a buy off bail out deal like the left here wants to dictate to the states through Federal buyouts. We call it strings attached to free programs. Europeans are not accustomed to a federal dictator enemy within like we are and they see her an outside enemy trying to end their self determination, sovergnity and rights.

We tell ourselves the commies are a part of the “American” family; American relatives who just disagree with us about the meaning of the constitution.

In reality, centralized power dictator wannabes are dictators who want to dictate. It would be nuts for Europeans to surrender their governments and power to an elected or unelected (as is currently the case) EU. Avoiding the immediate pain of Euro collapse is not worth ending your freedom for at least generations. The EU has a nasty personality that will only get worse the more power it gets.

incredible conspiracy theories. The fact is that the Yugoslav wars was caused by latent nationalism that was hidden under communism.

The UN resolution 743 and 781 did not have Germany in it.

These were no-flight zone

In 1994, NATO fighters shot down 4 Bosnian serb fighters for violating a no-fly zone

This was a combined NATO decision, not a German one...
