'EUSSR is DOOMED to failure!'

LOL! He hasn't a clue about anything much.🤣

What were Muslims doing all that time - living in peace and harmony and drinking Coke?


The guy that owned the largest amount of slaves in history happening to be a Muslim of course...

The European Union first began as an idea in the aftermath of World War Two, it was an idea promoted by several leading European leaders including Sir Winston Churchill.

After the deaths of Millions in Europe, and colossal devastation, many people came to the conclusion that we needed a different kind of Europe, one of co-operation, not confrontation.

The embryo or forerunner to the European Community was the European Coal & Steel Community, founded in 1951 and based on The Schuman Declaration to create "Supernational" bodies of co-operation.

The European Union and its predecessors is now over 70 years old, and has gone from the original six nations to its present 27 nations, with others awaiting to join including Ukraine.

MOST of Europes people, and most leaders not only recognise and accept that the EU is here to stay, they also see the many benefits of co-operation between European states.

The Future has to involve a defence dimension to the Europan Union, because the future for NATO is now uncertain, and Europe must prepare for any eventuallity. Recently the disgraced ex President of the US "Donald Trump" stated that he would invite Russia to attack any NATO country that, in his words "didnt pay their way".

That is a thoroughly disgracefull thing to say about people and nations that are supposedly your allies.

We are not Americans, we are Europeans, Europe is our continent, its who we are, they are our neighbours, they are our biggest trading partner, we have the same security threats from the same places as Europe. If the US turns its back on NATO in the future, it will be down to Europe to forge a realistic defensive alliance.

If posters seriously believe that the EU is finished, then think about this fact ... the only two nations in Europe NOT either members, associate members, awaiting membership or with Comprehensive Agreements with the European Union are Belarus and Russia.

This post makes no sense other than as a retelling of a dream. Germany's fees do not support the EU, nor do anyone else's.
The loss of the UK's contribution didnt send any vibration to the functioning of the EU, contrary to some of the more hysterical forecasts 8 years ago.

The loss of the UK's contribution made Germanys even more important - which is precisely why any reduction from Germany will be a disaster for the EU. 

A perfect example of wishful thinking.
I had no idea you were privy to the EU accounts.
And since membership of the EU is such a small slice of national GDP, I have no fears the large train of EU will grind to a halt due to a handful of German sand.
