The EU was destined to die die to deep seeded nationalism.
Sadly we have gotten ourselves wrapped up in this with the world markets.
I will enjoy watching it burn.
die due
In spite of everything, a Euro is still worth more than a US$. LOL.
Nationalism always trumps internationalism. The USSR was killed by this, so was united Christendom, The British and Roman Empires etc... Always has, always will. It is part of the tribalism hot wired into our DNA.
Ironically, it may very well be the Russians who restore it to Europe.
Saxo Bank CEO: Cyprus deal could signal end of the eurozone
From what I am reading, a lot of money “parked” in foreign banks is coming to the US.
That could be a lot of bull scrat..but we shall see, I guess.
I never thought that creating a whole new layer of government was going to make anyone’s lives any better in Europe.

EU to probe China solar subsidies China files EU solar complaint Chinese warning over solar panels
China's Suntech Power Holdings, the world's biggest solar panel maker, has defaulted on its debt.
The firm said it had failed to repay $541m (£360m) worth of bonds due on 15 March. That triggered cross-default clauses on its other loans as well.
USSR was designed to spread World Socialism and Communism. Russia just wants power and trade/military bases. The two headed eagle might be worse than the Communists. Its old school hardball mixed with chess.
Will Russia force other countries to accept Sodomites like the EU does?
I have always thought the downfall of the EU would be Nationalism.
It is pretty tough for stoic bavarians and finnish types to embrace the “let your hair down and party” spanish and greek types.
On top of that there are thousands of years of nationalism and feudalism.
Good riddance. I never did understand all those sheeple surrendering their national sovereignty to become "Europe."
Amen brother.
That was always just below the surface.
I don’t know what was wrong with nationalism in the first place... worked fine for a very long time.
We would be mad as hell in Tx if we had to pay Ca debts, and we have no long time nationalist divisions.
