European borders in early 21th century especially in the east are similar to what Central Powers wanted - a significantly weakened Russia and many smaller states like Belarus, Baltics, Ukraine. Britain only managed to delay the project by meddling into WW1 and helping to defeat Germany. Without Britain, it would have happened sooner. This time unlike 100 years ago France is more reasonable and knows its interests are better fulfilled by being in bloc with Germany rather than Britain. Now Britain got sidelined after Brexit, leaving Germany and France to rule the EU. Britain has also bad relations with Russia, having no allies in Europe. Unlike in early 20th century, its in a very bad position, despite "winning" wars.

Soon there will be 100 year anniversary of the end of WW1. What will Britain celebrate?


Brave words from a nation that hasn't won a war in over a century. :lol: I can't wait for your next turnip winter. Brexit will destroy your economies while we are left untouched, nay improved! We have the Commonwealth to trade with and will do just fine.

The main supporters of Merkels politics are the parties from the radical left.

The Christian Democratic Union is not right at all today.

The simple proof for this is the politics of Angela Merkel and the CDU.

1. Taxes rised to new records.
2. Migration rised to new records.
3. Nuclear power plants and coal mines will be closed.
4. There is no economic government. Socialism is Merkels answer for everything.
5. The car industry is under attack and Merkel is responsible for bans of cars in cities and expropriation.
6. Merkel is dealing with redistribution of income to euro states.
7. The army was broken.
8. Marriage for all.
...

That has nothing to do with right-wing politics! It is left-wing politics. It is radical left-wing politics!

In the US its called socialism and communism!



The contemporary Western elite consensus is both left and right. Their belief system is a blend of cultural Marxism and neo-Liberalism. I suppose they could be described as centralist as the two extremes average out.

This is becoming a matter of historical interest as that establishment is crumbling. There are too many contradictions in their belief system, combined with autocratic policy which is losing them popular support. Merkel’s handling of the refugee crisis could be regarded as an excellent case study on this subject.

Ms. Merkel is not running next time?


Damnit and i thought she will beat Bissmark as the longest serving Chancellor, now she won't even reach Kohl. :| (Actually she will reach kohl, she is almost at 13 full years, so 3 years more will put her at 16 years. But i am not sure how many days, Kohl has 16 years and 26 days. She might beat him)
