Herr Schauble has just done us all an enormous favor by showing that the EU hasn't changed at all, and will carry on being Germany's playground. It's the confirmation I needed to be sure that the UK has done the right thing. I, for one, wish the UK all the best, and hope they can sort their current mess and come off better from all this ordeal.
And congratulations to Erdogan are in order. Great move, aiming to solve the problems with both Israel and Russia. My opinion of these particular leaders is not very flattering, but I have to admit that, when it comes to political vision, they're light-years ahead of the EU's Elected Accountants. Would I like to live in Turkey or Russia? I doubt it. Are they good leaders for their people? Not really, no. But, then again, they're definitely not worse than the "leaders" of the EU, and I have to admire the way they can see beyond budgets and spreadsheets.
Of course, this was all a bit offset by the horrible attack Turkey suffered yesterday, and here, too, I wish them all the best. This is a fight where we are all allies.
