That’s not the outlook in Germany. Such an alliance with Britain would be distasteful to social marketeers.

At various times, two nations wanted him. Britain, and Malaysia, or another Asian nation. He screwed with their currencies. As I understand it, he did it with other nations too. Seems I read that he was wanted in two to four nations on currency manipulation. Perhaps those were settled years ago. Perhaps not. I’d sure like to find out and send him on vacation to the one with the stiffest laws.

If we were able to extradite the bastard, a twenty year sentence would pretty well get him out of our hair. They could demand all his financial holdings to recompense his transgressions there.

That’ll put a dent in the Left’s piggy bank.

Then, if we could take down the EPA, they’d be hard pressed to pay for a lot of things that come easy these days.

Soros has an angle. Soros always has an angle.
He laid out two options as the only options. Therefore, there is a third option, and that’s the way to go.
...Whatever it is.

The very last thing Germany wants or needs is advice from the likes of soroz.

Maybe I should clarify. Thailand doesn’t ‘want’ him in the sense they issued an arrest warrant for him. But they call him the devil. I think if some people here got their hands on him he’d wish they did issue a warrant!

I understand. Sounds like they’ve got his number also.

Good.

Germany isn’t going to “get out of” something it invented. The whole shebang, the EU itself, the euro currency, is that country writ large over the other member states. There’s a reason why the “social market economy” is written into the treaties. The euro itself is patterned after the Deutsche mark. (There’s also a reason why the European Central Bank is on German soil.)

Seems like people don’t realize that Germany is not like the USA; it is not a free market, but a social market. German economists are quite hostile to the free market, which they call the “Anglo-Saxon capitalist market”, and would like to see it gone. Whether the EU remains the vehicle to achieve that or it happens via another medium, it’ll be their plan being executed.


Interesting analysis. Thanks

Seems Germany has two choices: Control the EU by staying in it. Control the EU by getting out of it. The latter will be better for them in the long run
