the eu has just shot itself in the foot...and it will terminal in one generation as it slowly bleeds out.
the eu has announced and voted for financial punishment for member states that do not follow
"their progressive values" .
the states that did not vote yes will be looking for the exits.
the eu was always the german bankers and the east germans ( merkel ). france is set upon by three sides, the germans, the leftists and the muslims who do not embrace french values.
the eu will bleed out and france will be hollowed out.

@ponderable saidAt least Germany and France are not enemies any more.
Let history be the judge of that and of the achievements of the organization.

We are all glad for that. That blood feud did terrible damage and the Jewish people paid a terrible price for it.
However, it's going to be interesting to see the dynamic between France and Germany once Britain leaves. The two countries just don't see eye to eye over the Eurozone in particular (Mr Macron's reforms have been given the cold shoulder in Berlin), and Britain has historically played "mediator". London has been a crucial counterweight to the Paris-Berlin axis and has also represented the smaller states within the "big four" (Germany, France, UK and Italy).
