Germany vs. Europe

Everything comes around again. You show distress at a Germany hesitant to contribute to shared prosperity; forced, kicking and screaming, into salvaging a currency regime that they were by far the strongest in muscling others to accept, even with its absurd embedded assumptions of a Euro-sameness sufficient to sustain a common market and currency, with no common language, common culture or even commonly held political tenets. But I'm a lot more concerned about resurgent German nationalism: last time it reared its head a funny little WWI corporal led them to a scorching of the world. Forget Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain (the PIGS); if I were France I'd start thinking how the Maginot Line might be made to work finally in the Twenty-First Century.

Not necessary or possible.
