The fact is that there
is a political union in Europe, even if it lacks strong institutions. It is a
union being created by the people. And nοw that the Greek people have chosen Tsipras as their leader, everyone
has a problem. And it is a problem to which Merkel, first and foremost, must
find a solution.
It is a union being
created by the people.

that is neither ..Tsipras .. nor ..Merkel ..

the choice has already been made ..by people ..
that solidarity .. is a matter ... of the people .. it is in the hands of people .. and ..nobody else ..
no one ..can ..claim it ..be the sole ..proprietor of solidarity .. let alone given it ..
.. neither ..Schäuble ..nor ..Merkel ..and even not .. Tsipras .. himself ..
Other EU member states
will have to learn to deal with them.

It also does no good to
continue saying that the Greeks weren't economically mature enough for the
euro, that the Germans have showed their solidarity in the form of bailouts and
that the Greeks should have made a greater effort to overcome the financial
crisis in their own country. That's
all correct, but it doesn't help so long as most Greeks see things differently.
And they do.
His opposition to
further sanctions against Russia shows that Tsipras has no scruples on the
issue.
you .. SPIEGEL ..still
..are in the midst ..of the learning curve .. you will ..run through it ..
Tsipras ..unscrupulous
..
it is not Tsipras's .. scruples
..you should be concerned about .. but the very policies EU pursues ..
and whether these
policies are actually helpful in resolving the situation ..peacefully ..
the very ..gist ..of
these policies are in question.. and that is something ..Greece ..has ..absolutely
.. no ..doing in it ..
irrespective ..of the
Putin regime ..which is atrocious ..in many counts ..
but Russia ..is not
..Putin ..and ..Putin ..is not ..Russia ..
..and the same goes for Ukraine ..and
its ..leadership ..
you are ..totally ..absolutely ..utterly ..hopelessly ..incapable ..of seeing this ..
there are ..no better words ..to describe this ..lack of the appropriate resources ..on your behalf ..
I am in summon of all the means in my disposal .. that lie beyond my very own comprehension ..as well as yours .. for the sake of all of us ..
though regardless .. that is what is going to be ..
.. because ..it suits like ..a glove fits in a hand .. to humanity ..proper ..
Greece ..sees these ..differences .. in Russia and Ukraine..
.. as it is evident to all .. if for a moment decide to take off the ..warping goggles ..
... it is intrinsic ..in the dynamic ..that brought Syriza into power in Greece ..
Solidarity Is the Right Course
This means that Germany must
display forbearance. Germans have been forgiven for so much in their own
history that they should also be capable of forgiving others.
I abound ..wholeheartedly ..to
this .. for both sides ..of the equation ..
... humanity ..is never ..a lost cause

Nor should there be a
debt haircut, because Spain and Portugal would demand equal treatment and that
would place an unbearable strain on the euro zone.
hiding ..behind words ..that bear ..dubious meaning .. even
..nonsensical ..

it is the will of the people ..all people ..that will keep
..the whole thing ..together..
and by saying that .. should not ignore the dangers posed by
entities within EU ..
that remain ..unscathed by the crisis .. and continue to
thrive ..
.. entities ..that ought to be taught a lesson ..
If Tsipras has an ounce
of political understanding, then he knows that he can't demand too much from
Merkel because she's obviously still accountable to German voters. And because
the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is waiting in the wings.
Nothing would be worse than increasing the power of populists. If that is what
Tsipras wants, then Europe has no chance.
If Tsipras has an ounce
of political understanding,..
(oh ..the hell ..
endless..)
Tsipras ..has .. hardly ..not even.. half an ounce .. of political
understanding
how many ..ounces ..Merkel
..has ..or ..Herr Schäuble.. for that matter ..
if .. accountable to
German voters ..is ..any more ..or any less to .. accountable to Greek voters..
how does this ..ounce
..is defined .. estimated ..measured ..
Nothing would be worse
than increasing the power of populists. If that is what Tsipras wants, then
Europe has no chance.
should make ..clear
definitions ..unequivocal ..once and for all ..
.. what stands ..as populism ..and
who, what .. is populist ..
.. everything and anything
..that has to do with people ..bundled up ..under the term ..populism ..
if ..people ..deserve
..such ..a harsh treatment ..
If that is what Tsipras
wants, then Europe has no chance.
it is not what Tsipras
wants .. but ..what people want ..
.. and that goes ..beyond ..populism ..trashes
..populism ..
.. if you continue to see Tsipras
under that ill-gotten prism .. utterly lost in it ..being the only thing you
see..
the Europe you envisage
..which you placed under that populism prism ..
should not ..does not
deserve ..an ounce of chance ..
