Pandemic cast doubt on the future of the European Union

13

A coronavirus pandemic will change the world. Sooner or later, COVID-19 will be defeated, but the consequences of its impact will be long-term. The extreme vulnerability of the globalism system, which is effective only when all is well, is now understood. At the first serious external shock, everything instantly fell down.

The greatest questions today are raised by the future of the European "union of the well-fed and well-off."



The EU can safely be considered the most successful globalist project to date. Germany and France, the most economic the developed countries of this association, traditionally pushing their shoulders, trying to become its undoubted leaders. In recent years, the head of the Fifth Republic, Emmanuel Macron, has actively claimed the role of "Napoleon".

The French president is trying to breathe new life into the European Union, proposing dozens of reforms to transform it, of course, under the strict guidance of Paris, trying to cooperate equally with the United States, Russia and China. This can be greeted, but his behavior in a critical situation shows that in terms of personality he is far from Bonaparte.

Claims to Macron are expressed both in the homeland and in the neighboring EU countries, which, in theory, he should benefit on an equal footing. So, today in France over 37 thousand infected with coronavirus are registered. According to recent polls, only 26% of citizens of the Fifth Republic are positive about measures taken to combat the epidemic, 59% consider them insufficient. But in 47% they "cause fury."

This is not to say that Paris does nothing. The plans are to quadruple the number of places in hospitals for seriously ill patients. France has ordered over 1 billion medical masks in China. With a population of almost 67 million people, the country uses about 40 million masks per week.

The nuance is that the French maintain their own relative well-being at the expense of others. Neighboring Italy, with a population of just over 60 million, today suffers from the epidemic more than anyone else in the EU. So, two days ago, the death of almost a thousand people from COVID-19 was recorded per day. In such a critical situation, you need to use any help.

China and Russia are doing their utmost to help a distant European country, despite their own internal problems. Moscow’s actions provoked a negative reaction at NATO headquarters and in Paris. President Macron was outraged and urged not to exaggerate the size of "outside help." He pointed out what Germany and France had already done for Italy:

Delivered to Italy 2 million masks and tens of thousands of bathrobes.

For a country where today over 92 thousand people are infected, this is sparse. The refusal of Berlin and Paris to provide Rome with medical masks and other equipment for combating the coronavirus caused a much greater public outcry, after which the Italians were forced to turn to Beijing and Moscow. A rather strange manifestation of “European solidarity” is obtained: die yourself, but do not let others help you out. A strong leader would gratefully accept help, and then reciprocate. Current political the course of Paris, to put it mildly, is not worthy of the new Napoleon.

After some time, the epidemic will end, and those who survive it will be able to look at the world around them with a new look. Is it any wonder that discussions about the collapse of the Schengen zone, and even the entire European Union, have intensified?

      Quote: Lieutenant Rzhevsky I
      Germany admitted 12 patients with coronavirus from Italy.

      To experiment with careless Italians? Did I understand everything correctly? The hospital, by chance, is not in the Auschwitz area ... ???

        So Dachau was not the last in terms of "scientific" experiments!

          I understand, therefore, I am simply interested in the geographical position of the clinic for helping careless Italians from Germany.

        It is, rather, from the series - Tіlki koli mi єdinі - mi neperemozhnі!
        And the hospital in Ulm, the Bundeswehr hospital. True, only March 29th was remembered about unity, and the number of patients speaks for itself.

          They transport patients by helicopter not only from Italy and from France, too. The process is regulated at the federal state level.

          True, unity was remembered only on March 29

          Where is the problem? A little late, of course. But everything was done correctly, it was somehow not very loyal to bring in the virus to unprepared hospitals in relation to both its population and the staff of the hospitals.

    Pandemic cast doubt on the future of the European Union

    What nonsense !? The European Union was, is and will be the union of false states based on lies. In the time of Peter the Great It was called a hoh politician! - High politics! Say one thing, imply another, and do the third.
    If the foundation of the EU is a lie and hypocrisy, then this union of countries is indestructible! The foundation remains unshakable and no coronavirus will destroy it! Everyone will pretend that nothing happened ...
    Where is Italy going with its trillion debt !? Is Italy alone !? Have pig-pigs pigs already gotten rid of debt?
    Everything suits everyone there ... They hold onto each other tightly! For individually - they are generally NOBODY and call them NO!

      Everyone will pretend that nothing happened ...

      And what should happen?
      Imagine if a neighbor’s house is on fire and a corner has already caught fire in your house. Will you drop everything and run to extinguish the neighbor's house?

    As long as the United States is alive, this gathering of Euro-American satellites will also exist. After all, they have nowhere to go, they have not yet paid off the debts from the Yankees for the post-war "Marshall Plan". And almost all of the European gold reserves are in the US vaults, and there is still a lot of things that will not let Europe break away from its master, although they are already sick and tired of this US Europlower.

    So far, things are better in Russia, in Germany and Korea. Yes. The EU may fall apart. But the epidemic showed the failure of capitalism.

    After the pandemic, the EU will be fine again.
    In Europe, they fought with each other for centuries, then together against others, now again they look askance at each other, then again they will look askance at others together ...
    And around Europe - the Sahara, Ice, and we ...
    Well, we won’t look askance (with hungry eyes) for the prosperity of Europe, who is next - Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China?
    Therefore, everything will be, as it was, except that in the EU they will more strictly democratize the dissatisfied (otherwise you look, they are not looking there) ...
