Look at the stats - once the European champ, today far behind the top economies
Huh???
Would you be so kind to explain that?
We are world export champion, we have regularly a budget surplus for years now. If it wouldn't had been for the credit crunch we would have no debts anymore, our unemployment numbers were steadily going down...that you call lacking???
Now the american/british credit crunch devastated the world economies but you say Germany is somehow at fault??? Are you kidding???
Germany is losing its leading position in the EU - both in sense of economy and politics.
I think most Germans would be quite glad not to be the paymaster for whole Europe anymore....imagine all the billions saved for our own!
But who else would take the place?
The biggest and most influential economy in Europe who with their money helps to finance the EU!
Germany position get's to change only if these factors change too...so who it's going to be? Poland???
Another question...who would and could take Germany's place in your mind? And what would that mean for Poland?
Nord Stream is the best prove that Germans can't be trusted... at least in our part of europe.
Well..you said you don't trust the Russians too, you fear they could blackmail you and still you want to make an alliance with them...huh?
PS: About Sarkozy..you shouldn't confuse his half year in the sun during the EU leadership with real influence, now shouldn't you? He grates on the nerves on most French already too...:)
