Do you think more countries will begin to leave the EU, and if so, which ones? -

[fireatdawn]

I know a lot of people look to Poland as the next candidate, but they benefit so much from the EU's money, I can't see them leaving until they're forced to take in migrants via the EU cutting their funding.

Who do you consider the more radicalized nations, out of curiosity? It's interesting to hear an opinion from that part of Europe. Usually it's someone from Western or Central Europe

 

[fireatdawn]

Italy definitely seems like it's closer to leaving at the moment, which I can't imagine will be very good for the EU, if it follows through. It's one of the largest economies in Europe, only beaten by Germany, France, and Britain.

Greece sounds likely to me. Their people have been utterly shafted by EU austerity policies spearheaded by Germany, and it's reached the point that if you held a snap election tomorrow, literal fascists and literal communists would win something like a quarter of the vote.

I think if you had something like Poland and Greece both exiting at the same time, it could start a stampede for the door.

While I think this would be sad, the leadership in Brussels is sad beyond belief.

I would have said Cyprus a year or so ago but they may be doing okay now. I'm no expert in any of this, these are just things I'd make a casual bet on.

Germany profited the most from the EU, financial and economical-wise, even with the immigrant situation that was a total disaster, and even there people have enough from the EU.

 

[AnOminous]

I'm half-convinced Angela Merkel loves the EU so much because she gets to do what Hitler never could and be dictator of all Europe. Countries pulling out of the EU is like watching her empire crumble.

If not Poland, then Greece. Maybe Hungary?

 

[ICametoLurk]

I'm pretty sure the UK will keep having their military bases on Cyprus until the end of time, like Gibraltar.

 

[Broseph Stalin]

Poland will most definitely be the first. Maybe Greece, then. Then Hungary. Probably Italy next if Libya fails to get their shit together.

Italy is not interested in leaving the EU at all. We dislike EU strongly but we know it'd be much worse if we'd leave. The euro is too radicalized; also we have the sea, and can't build borders. If EU didn't distribute immigrants in its other countries italy, spain and greece would get completely fucked

The real question is why do the Mediterranean countries have to let in the migrants? Why can't as soon as they land, dump their ass back where they came?

We tought about it since the first coming immigrants of tunisy and maroc in 2009, truth is it'd be super expensive and we'd have to pay for it, and they'd try again anyway.
Before the Arabic Spring, when Ghaddafi was killed, Berlusconi had contracts with him to keep the immigrants from leaving Libya, so immigration was much more limited. Berlusconi did not care what'd happen to those immigrants and frankly, we shouldn't have neither.

Well you could always threaten to sink the boats with your navy. I mean your migrant crisis makes our immigration problem seem like cakewalk since our immigrants at least attempt to integrate into our society and from what I gathered yours don't for the lion's share. Why should you have to accept people that won't at least accept your rules?

How many days before he gets shanked? Slovakians seem to hate muslim migrants, and the problems they bring, even more than Poland. Which is a feat.

It is stuff like this that makes me believe that the EU is going to dissolve into severely nationalistic countries because of the oppression inflicted apawn them by idiotic economic policies as well as this migrant crisis spurred on by Germany's open door policy (which the Germans actually are really racist towards the brown people too if you aren't in the media bubble). The real question is can a solution to this crisis be reached before countries reach final solution levels of problem solving?

Is it hard for you to get the idea that when you're a western country surrounded and allied with western countries who believe in pacifism nonsense you can't just decide to blackmail/shoot at people
We're part of both the EU and from the United Nations, and we're in a delicate geographic point
Again the only time we were able to stop this was by being buddy buddy with Ghaddafi, and we got shit from both EU and UN for it

Well you are clearly getting fucked by the EU and the UN is a worthless organization as its "peacekeepers" don't have the power to stop genocides from happening for it was Bosnia and Rwanda is why I have no faith in it. Well I feel bad for you since you are living with some economically unstable times coupled with growing extreme fascists and extreme communists that might make Years of Lead 2.

 

[Somsnosa]

Fascists and commies are pathetic, it's populists now. They are so annoying

 

[friedshrimp]

I think all the PIGS subsection of Europe is basically in this hostage situation, that they wanna leave but they can't bc the outcome would be much, much worse (no money and a buttload of angry muslims everywhere being unable to leave to the haven of Germaden cause the borders would close def. then). The media tries to act like everything is okay, but you feel a deep passive-aggressive resentment amidst the folks not brainwashed by SJW sugarcoating.

France will be the next
