This thread turns into an intense source of constant discourgament.

Maybe the most prominent two masterminds behind the unification of europe and the allying of France and Germany were Helmut Schmidt and Valery Giscard d'Estaing (who are also close private friends). Both say that since the early 90s, or at the latest: the mid-90s, they see their efforts betrayed by politicial incompetence and bad course plotting into wring directions, so that they today see bigger chances for Europe again braking apart within the next 20 years, instead of a continuation of it'S current political agendas, that also turns it increasingly into an antidemocratic, centralized, bureaucratical dictatorship of some kind. Especially Schmidt is not just some unknown nobody in politics, he is a thinker with a razor-sharp mind and a very dry sense of - often bitter - humour.

The way Europe goes is one of the biggest items that I had to substantially, massively change my opinion on in recent years. The way it goes now, I hope the process fails. Failure is better than going to far in this current direction.

It all is very discouraging, and frustrating. Sometimes I do no more regret that I have no children of my own, as I once wished for, but I am glad for that.
