Search Haiti for one example. As for Germany....I have a sister who was married to a German right out of Brunch swig where Hitler began. When they were preparing for their wedding in the last seventies, his mother said to me, "We whites must stick together". He is a judge with manufacturing businesses in Canada. They managed to receive money out of what was given to Germany after the IIWW mostly from North America. His mother was able to obtain Canadian Citizenship, his father could not. I am beginning to think, my mother (English by the way..ancestry, Anglo and Saxon )might have been correct when she said, "Germany will be the cause of a third world war". What she saw as a "pile of trouble", was the EU. Submitted ....

That said, she has overplayed her hand and the majority consensus seems to be that she has acted with an undue degree of belligerence. Part of that is because we see the rightwing extremists waiting in the wings to capitalize on the chaos that must ensue when you so burden a nation with debt that it's young people have no future in their homeland.

S...@ Dana - easy on the "Kraut" business. See that unusual emblem in the right margin at the top of this page? That's the medieval iron cross of the Teutonic Knights. I'm a direct descendant of one who served in the "Northern Crusade" against the animist pagans in the Baltics who left the order from the island of Gotland to retire to civilian life in northern England in 1275. He seemed to have overcome the order's vows of poverty because he was a wealthy man when he hit England. It seems there were plenty of those fellows who made out like - wait for it - bandits. Why England? The king at the time, Henry II, encouraged the order to tame the pagans as it opened the Baltic to English woolens exports so he gave them a pension that they could collect in England after a number of years in service. Sadly the record shows he was the last, perhaps the only knight in the family. He begat a long line of traders and merchants never to become warlike again until the 19th century.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-26292596534448168942015-07-16T17:39:31.493-07:002015-07-16T17:39:31.493-07:00That kind of logic wouldn't be welcome in many...That kind of logic wouldn't be welcome in many European capitals, PLG. I figure it's only a matter of time before they fill the moat and raise the drawbridge to thwart migration out of the ME and Africa.<br /><br />I think this is a greater strain on European unity than many imagine. I've read that the northern European states, particularly Scandinavia, are becoming concerned about a northern migration out of southern EU states as the result of climate change. There's been speculation of the EU fracturing on a north-south divide. It might not be too many years from now that we'll see signs of that sentiment firming up.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-79802399079269815492015-07-16T16:54:57.293-07:002015-07-16T16:54:57.293-07:00If she doesn't want a bunch of immigrants over...If she doesn't want a bunch of immigrants overwhelming Germany with their nonwhiteness, maybe she (and the other European leaders) could consider not helping NATO create millions of refugees.
