Sarmatia Europe - Could it be political reality? [183]
Well... frankly speaking your government would love to see Russia torn apart
You misunderstand our society Sasha.
Germany is a country which invents, develops, produces and sells.
We NEED to sell to stay rich!But we can only sell to people who have money. People get only wealthy enough to pay our prices, to buy our products when they live in a half way secure, safe and stable environment.
What would a torn and poor Russia mean for us? Not a reliable market, that's for sure. Millions of not-to-be-consumers of german products! A continous threat and what not.
We so not need nor want that!
Germany
(purely from a logical point of view if you don't believe my promises) needs you stable, reliable, prosperous and bourgeois...with money to spend! And the same counts for all EU-members and also the Balkans. We so not need unrest or civil wars! It's bad for business.
Yet many doesn't agree to exchange Kosovo for EU
It's not as if they have to chose between "EU" or "Kosovo".
It's "EU" or not "EU", that's all...
And you still didn't tell me how you would handle the Kosovo if it were for you...
I don't the idea of election everyone over 18 can take part in.
Hmmm...you are right in some ways.
I would prefer a more direct democracy which works through referendum and petition, where only people can take part in which can show through a test that they have enough knowledge to make a judgement.
But we are just not that far gone already
(maybe something for the online future? Once everybody is able to go online and personalities can be checked securely)Till then we must take what we have with warts and all....and compared to the past it's the best we ever had!
