OS recently treated The Sainted Mrs. OS to Saturday brunch at the local diner on Main Street, and they passed part of their time in conversation with a local broker who has strong family ties in Europe.
OldSamTheBroker told us, 'Europe is headed for a dictatorship, it's inevitable.' There was no joy in his voice.
Daniel Hannan comes to the same conclusion in today's Telegraph.
No joy in his voice, either.
Merkel's campaign for a 'New Europe' echoes much the same propoganda employed in the 1930's and '40's. She's not a crazed messianic little guy with a mustache, to be certain, and there's no intent to equate her with him.
However, the temptation to reassemble a Greater Europe seems to never lie far from the door.
By the way, this can only end in tears, math being what it is.
