Donald Hank says:
If the below report is true, then a reasonable layperson's analysis might be this:
The EU has overextended itself politically, economically and militarily.
1--Politically: It has always been a de facto dictatorship. It was originally touted as a strictly economic scheme and the trusting nations of Europe bought it on that basis. Then, surprise, it started adding massive bureaucratic trappings, mostly of a political nature -- a court of justice, a Constitution, a Parliament, a Commission, a ministry of foreign affairs, etc, whose functions went way beyond the economic realm and into the everyday lives of every European. Result: It now looks a lot like an empire, but without the usual sense of nationhood that has typically supported empires in the past.
No one loves the European flag. Yet, oblivious to the fact that people can be controlled indefinitely only if they love their nation or have some traditional loyalties to it, they have threatened people who refuse to fly the EU flag. They have also made and enforced laws favoring the Muslim minority but discriminating against the Christians majority.
Because of its strong-arm tactics and its contempt for the people the EU pretends to rule, euroskeptics are gathering strength everywhere and the popularity of the European central government is on the wane. UK citizens in a recent poll have said they want out. The analogies with the USSR are too numerous to mention.
