Poland warns of war 'in 10 years' as EU leaders scramble to contain panic

[Martinus]

This guy is (apparently) a good finance minister but has cooky views otherwise. He has already been torn a new arsehole back here in Poland for his comments.

And he is a Brit, having a British citizenship and having lived there for most of his life, so he a Pole only in name.

I just want an Anglo Union.  Is that so wrong?

There already is one and the intials are "AB"

Our plans to destroy the evil European Union mature

Anglo-American

Our relationship is much better with Atlantic ocean between us.  Do you have any idea how much it would cost to get the UK up to speed with the US?  It'd be like West Germany annexing East Germany but on a much bigger scale.

Well, Scotland anyway.

Well, Scotland anyway.

And Wales.  And Northern Ireland.  Or large parts of rural England.

It would make us eligible for EU membership.

So we should form a union with the UK just so we can tell the EU to go screw itself?

[Razgovory]

An Anglo-American union is a silly idea.  Free trade and military alliances between the nations of the anglophone world, sure, but we sure don't want to govern them.  They've all done that for themselves for a long time.  I'm not really interested in painting the map all one color, even if it's our color.  Anyway, we already have Arkansas, we don't need Wales to add insult to injury.

Eurasia is at war with Oceania, remember?

When the Euro breaks up, we can't even afford a war anymore.

If the EU ever breaks up Germany will have a ton of subsidy money to spend on its favorite hobby.

I think the poorest parts of the UK are probally significantly better off than the poorest parts of the US.
And yes, on the other side of things the richer parts of the US are richer than the rich parts of the UK, excluding the posh sections of London.

Not really. We spend less than 1% of our GDP on the EU. If you add that to our current military expenses, we'll maybe reach 2.2% or so of GDP, which is still less than say France or UK spend now.
