United germany was a mistake, its should have been balkanized into many states with each their diferent dialect of germanic after world war 2.
it's pretty amazing that for all the many, many things she was wrong about, margaret thatcher managed to be right about german reunification. or at least not-wrong. combination of staunch nationalism and having lived through the war i suppose
As if the UK is not amongst the biggest supporters of Israel lol
make no mistake - fuck the uk too. i just think it's kind of funny that thatcher knew that the krauts could not be trusted with a unified state of their own, even if she was coming to that conclusion from a different set of priors than we are
Thats another country that should be balkanized
In one case (Northern Ireland) it's not balkanization, but decolonization
Scotland, Wales and Cornwall too if you go a bit further back
