The current Eurozone is obviously dysfunctional. And serious people within Germany and elsewhere know this to be the case and know things cannot function this way forever.

History, when they do it, is ancient history, and they sensationalize even that. Contemporary history is virtually ignored on television.

If there is a Greek exit from the Eurozone, I think the German elite will be quite pleased that they can then use that to restructure the Eurozone and make it a zone where only strong countries are allowed in. There would then be two tiers within the European Union, which is in fact already happening. But you cannot simply get rid of German control by raising the specter of the Third Reich. That's ahistorical.

I think to compare Germany to the Third Reich is utterly ludicrous.

The European Union is a union of the extreme center. It's a banker's union. You see how they operate in country after country, appointing technocrats to take over and run countries for long periods. They did it in Greece; they did it in Italy; they considered it in other parts of Europe.

Terrorism emanates from weakness, not strength. It is the sign of despair.

Even if you reject everything, it is always better to know what it is you are rejecting.
