Well, take heart then. Both Trump and Putin are huge fans of sovereign nation states, and not of the EU.

One cannot have an equitable solution where Germans are footing the bill for a figment of the imagination....

You think Versailles was bad ..... look at how much is already extracted from your people and your country for 77 years and counting.

Think of it. 132 billion goldmarks at 0,25 US at that point. So a quarter. 40 billion dollars @ 25 per Gold ounce. 1.6 billion ounces. At current prices around 1650 = 2.640 Trillion dollars /Euro.

Target II already has consumed 1 Trillion Euro to support the Latin currency countries.

Once it is appreciated that this whole system is about siphoning off your life force, and the life force of the German People for 77 years .... it is easy to see the way out. Freedom trumps communism. But when people of their own volition for mutual benefit work together, you cannot have big.gov, EU, big pharma, big tech, etc, because these thrive on this system.

O and one other thing. Taking away commercial risk from the risk taker breeds moral hazard.
