Putting Greece as example, the issues is how they manage the currency, in this case Euro.
And how the 'merging' of identities is not yet as strong to what has happened in let's say India and Indonesia.
Giving a loan as solution to Greece which has problem with loan is definitely only exacerbate the problem.
Oh but it's the Greek's problem, not mine, saith the French, the Germans and the British.
Research for yourself how much does Greece has paid it's loan from EU today, and how much is the unemployment rate in Greece today. Things now grew more bitter with the Covid situation, as the Covid strike the Greece tourism industry down to it's knees.
Well it's their loan and their problems, not mine.. that's still the attitude...
Quote:That is part of the British Psyche and it cannot let go of the past. You would not believe how much propaganda is shown on British TV regarding the Second World War. They are still showing programs on how they defeated Germany, (such programs I never watch out of protest).
Past glory and trauma, are the things that need to be dealt as part of the group's 'shadow works'.
The Mughal used to fight centuries of war with The Marathas in India.
But they have dealt with it better compared to the 'citizens' of EU.
Of course it didn't stop today's politicians to invoke sentiment and animosity of the past to gain popular support and power. Politicians need an 'enemy' to rally people supports towards them and not towards other politicians.
