Between a Brussels farce and a German demographic disaster: Two omens of Europe's destruction

Two events happened last week — one profusely covered in the European and world media, the other hardly at all — that would have long-lasting and, in the second case, profound implications for generations to come. The first case had to do with the elections of Ursula von der Layen as the new president of the European Commission, the second with the publication of a study showing that the Germans increasingly are losing their majorities to those with a migrant background.

The second study was vastly more important historically for the future of Europe, but that, predictably, was not the coverage it received. Instead, it was barely noticed, driven as it was to obscurity by the hubbub of von der Layen's election. That election, in fact, was little more than a Brussels farce of the first order and yet another reminder that democracy in the E.U. capital has become a quaint idea often mentioned but seldom really practiced. Not only was von der Layen not an official candidate, let alone a Spitzen candidate, but she was not even rumored to be a candidate until elected.

Moreover, as a politician, she was undoubtedly a failure. Having run the defense ministry since 2013, not only did she fail to increase the defense budget to the widely promised 2% of GDP, but she left office with the pathetic 1.25% by 2023. The only other thing she would be remembered for is the Gorch Fock disaster, a navy training ship whose repair bill grew on her watch from 10M euros to 135M. So she is a failed politician, and the Bundeswehr is a joke, but hey, she is a "friend of Merkel" and, as the latter herself pointed out, also a woman, and that, it seems, is all that counted for the top job.

European leaders have been forcing a self-destruct of the EU on purpose.

I can’t begin to imagine what could make these people such traitors and the people accept it so passively. Are they nothing more than sheeple now? Merkel and her crew are no better than the Nazis at this point. Worse in many ways. Hitler damaged Germany badly. Merkel destroyed it. Obliterated it past the point of recovery methinks. Not just Germany; many other EU nations as well.

Baaaaad.

The second was the result of national suicide.

What Germany needs is another “humanitarian crisis” so the caliphate Queen can get her numbers up.

I have been staying 4-5 months a year in Norway for the last 6 years. Over that time what I have noticed is that the young adults have been so coddled through their lives that do not feel they should have to bear the responsibility of parenting. That would interrupt their carefree life. Add to that, men are treated as nothing more then sperm donors and walking wallets. Basically for young men there is no upside to having children and no downside in not having any. Young people have also been raised being told how people are destroying this otherwise beautiful planet, so why bring more people into it? There is more, but it would take a book to write it all down. Is it has been said “ Not with a bang, but with a whimper”.
