"We bailed you out, so now you play ball"
Yep. That's the story I've hear.
and when you don't, teh funding stops
Look at poland
Like the IMF
they refused to "Force" migrants to stay in Poland
cuz Migrants wanted to go to germany cuz they get more free stuff
and now Germany is demanding that Poland be fined for not holding Migrants in camps against their will
The rich nations don't want to subsidize all the poor states and the poor states don't like getting politically crushed.
And then there's the errant law that the EU won't allow (like Swiss gun laws) that's causing friction with other states.
to which poland then responded, demanding reparations for WW2 😉
Sassy.
lmao
literally "You wanna fine us 80 million per day? okay, we then demand 800 billion euros as reparations" or something
note, those numbers i pulled outa my ass i'm not sure on the exact numbers
but it was that general idea
I believe it.
but thats basically it
Greece is a slave nation right now,
They can't survive without bailouts,
So they get it, by doing exactly what Brussels wants
Add in Turkey...
It's a matchbox. But I do think it'll probably survive.
dude even turkey has a grip on EU's balls right now
The EU elite seem aren't willing to let it fail and are empowered to do all sorts of nonsense to silence opposition.
They're also waking up to the couple of things that were really emboldening their opposition (turning down refugees)
Ah. Hardball. Everyone seems to want to play it now.
they realised they couldn't talk it away
Nor controll it
EU leaders are weak
EU's representative for trade relations is the dutch prime minster Mark Rutte
this guy is a tool
a history teacher, bowing to every demand everywhere
he went to talk to Erdogan about those migrants coming in
made a deal
3 billion to Turkey, and they stop the flow of mingrants from turkey
turkey got paid, didn't do jack
so he went back
negotiated anotehr 3 billion
and finally Erdogan did something
and now he's demanding more stuff
Man, geopolitics is a fascinating, messy game.
Capital A negotiating skills
this is the same guy who was sent to Trump last month to talk about the Tariffs
didn't succeed, now they sent Juncker
gonna be fun having that drunk talk to the Troll in chief
