Gus > But the French and Dutch votes also reflect a disaffection, perhaps, as Baverez had it, an insurrection, against the governing political elites that is taking place throughout what might be called the faltering European core, including France, Germany and Italy, all founding EU countries and still its main economic engines. Yes, that's the way I see it. Furthermore, we must not forget that all/most of the new Eastern members fall completely under the US spell and so French influence will be neutralised/eliminated by this new bloc. >> "And that spells trouble for Europe and it spells trouble for an America that will be looking to Europe for help on many different fronts."<< Certainly if it meant that Europe will merely be a dog that does US bidding via NATO etc. > Get the hell out of the euro-valley before the euro-dam collapses!! But where to? Back into the USD?! What a joke. Greenspan & Co must be wetting themselves while they crank up their money printing machine to an even higher level. Who would ever have believed that the US paper dollar, languishing in unpayable debt, could have been strengthened by bloody-mindedness of the French?
