i did not feel offended.
you put the focus on something that many have forgotten...
never has the western part of the continent seen such a long time of non-war.
of tolerating each other (teeth griotting, then gradually turning to cooperation.
and yes, i am asking myself the same questions.
how long before one country draws a line, say "i quit, funk all of you" and maybe starts to attack his weakest neighbor.
Say, the spanish quit, are mad as hell, maybe even team up with the portuguese, the portuuguese quit too, and start marching to paris.
Or... the french people having to pay this "20% tax" and start constructiing a guillautine again for their banksters, top politicians and lobbyists (the nobles of today
)... and the french army staging massacre after massacre.
The germans Joining in the "fun" , overrunning my country again (as a sidenote...)
Who knows what is next.
taking from average Joe, because the EU wants, and the EU can, in this era of virtual Money...
It might come to real bloodshed.
