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

cuz Erdogan is threatening to open the migrants again unless he gets more money

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

@DuShaun Manndik
Geopolitics is children fighting on a playground over who gets the most crayons.

Except the children are in suits, the fists are bombs and the crayons are the spoils of trade.

Completely fascinating once you start looking into it.

@Dr.Wol maybe might work out better to be honest...

Also those children have just discovered the word "fuck" and are using it in every sentence, even when it's not applicable, because they think it makes them cool and edgy.
