If the EU crisis has achieved anything, then to illustrate to the world how deep the differences and the rifts over here are, the differences in lifestyles, political culture, mentalities, methods of understanding economy and business. And hoe easily people understand the EU to be a magic fountain that popurs down honey and money on everybody, while nobody cares for that the oeny is coming from somebody else, at his cost.

We are not one entity called Europe, not at all. The term "Europe" always and necessarily must imply the plural. There is little or nothing that links the Fin to the Maltese, the German to the Cypriot, the Polish to the Maltese. Different life styles. Different identities. Different - well, different everythings.

What politicians say - who cares for them anymore anyway. For them, denying realities that they do not like is part of their most favourite hobby.

Internatonally, diplomatically the EU is not seen as one actor, to, but a kindergarden speaking with many voices and some EU operetta stars yelling louder than all others. Chinese, Indians, Russians and even Obama bypass the EU representatives on internationall conferences sometimes, and make their talks without even giving the EU clowns a note on the meeting. So much for taking the Europeans as a serious entity.

I believe in separation. It is working nice in keeping peace, for it avoids the conflicts rising from enforced integration and crowding together different people that do not match well. Were there are separate camps, their is awareness and tolerance for differences without any need to defend oneself against the claims by the other that one must do like he does. Where there are different camps,l their blossoms trade. There is value-capital generated. Wealth not basing on debts and redistribution, but basing on products and goods. Local differences and leaving them different if they want, is great. It has the greatest chance of all scenarios to secure peace.

The EU wants to centelaise control, and deny differences, and force together what does not match well together, and making everybody available to every foreigner from somewhere else. That does not only cause economic havoc, as we see, it also turns the whole continent into a pressure cooker. In some places the emergency valves are already whistling and fuming. Ignore it some more time, and the whole damn thing will explode. Bon Appetit.
