Some things need to die. Hope Salvini is Italexit.

EU represents the globalist swamp instead of sovereign nations that work mostly for their own elite instead of citizens.

we watched the celebration and listened to the speakers.
It was uncanny how similar it was to a Trump rally

Well, I’ve heard that Germany carries most of the financial burden of the EU. Why would THEY want it to continue?

After a century and two wars, they finally get to rule Europe.

In reality, East Germany rules Europe.
To: Flavious_Maximus; SaveFerris
Hail, hail, East Germany,
Land of fruit and grape.
Land where you’ll regret
Any try to escape.
No matter if you take a running jump or tunnel under the wall,
Forget it, the guards will kill you, if the electrified fence doesn’t first.

After a century and two wars, they finally get to rule Europe.I don't think that "rule" is the correct word. They PAY the lion's share because they WORK the lion's share.
They learned, the hard way, that work is the key...and their government has to support that way of life.
https://fee.org/articles/is-germany-successful-thanks-to-socialism??/
So, why was there a "Wirtschaftswunder" [economic miracle]? Henderson gives two main reasons: a monetary reform and the freeing of the economy by abolishing price controls and cutting taxes. All of this was implemented thanks to one man: Ludwig Erhard.
If they rule, then so do we...by dint of work, work and more work.

Just an opinion, folks.

Germany learned that political and economic domination of Europe via the EU is cheaper than military occupation.Would that it was that simple. It wasn't.
Nothing about nation-recovery-from-war is simple...no matter what the three-sentence Google bites say.

Anyone else notice how much Gina Miller resembles Susan Rice?

It goes back much further — the Holy Roman Empire was E.U. 1.0. (”German Empire” was a better name, as it was neither Holy nor Roman.)
As for modern times; it comes down to returns to scale. The German industrial machine needs markets; and the economies of scale are so huge, subsidizing the Union government is a small cost of doing business.
To: cloudmountain
Why do you think they paid for Greece? It’s the cost of being in charge.
