That paltry amount is meaningless though, compared to what Germany and others gain from access to those markets. The 2% of GDP goes into building roads for German goods to go to those countries, and for finished product made by local labor to make it back to Germany.
Both sides gain, but Western Europeans gain more than they lose, that's why they are all bark and no bite.
Well, I wouldn't underestimate the German willingness to impose rule nobody wants, after all, there were two world wars over it.
It's sad to see the decline of Western Europe. I thought it was only going to be the UK going down the toilet to appease feminists, but they're all following suit. Particularly disappointed in Italy, sneaking misogyny laws through the back door.
They can only push so far. People always ask why Germany or France don't kick people out, or why nations like Poland or Hungary don't leave. The answer is simple, they are both benefiting from the arrangement. The minute that changes, either one side leaves or there will be war.
I agree, Italy is most disappointing. I think the adoption of the euro and easy credit that came with it has corrupted Greece and Italy far beyond what they were capable of on their own.
Sadly they do not possess the spirit to leave. Money is more important to them than virtue. That's why I am glad Poland was not tempted. The country would be destroyed if the euro were ever adopted.
