This week, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau take aim at two prevailing myths: the widespread belief that Greece’s recovery is a heartwarming success story—a model for debt-laden nations like Germany and the UK—and the soft center-left idea that the EU can “go it alone” and challenge the United States politically and economically. Is Greece’s success real, or just a financial illusion? And is a meaningful decoupling from a tariff-wielding America possible, or is the dream of a strategically independent Europe dead?
How the Europeans can’t see that NOT welcoming Russia into the “European family” was calamitous is baffling.
Perhaps they felt it wasn’t a democracy, whilst they themselves seem happy to trash democracy when it suits.
Perhaps they needed a bogey man.
Very enjoyable, thank you!
