It seems fitting to post this today given that one of the largest and most powerful, as well as founding, members of the European Union has just undergone a major election. So while many Europeans are looking to Germany today to see what the future might hold for it and for European, we look at the past to see how we got here in the first place.

How are you liking these shorts? We enjoy making them, and they certainly help us reach a new audience segment, but would like to know how the TimeGhost Army feels.

Does the EU Make War Impossible?

The ideal of European unity takes on new meaning in the aftermath of World War Two. When combined with the hard-headed geopolitics of the early Cold War it looks like it might be a reality. Does this United States of Europe make another continental war impossible?

You do them well. I'd be interested to see where you take them in the future.

Still did not get an email notice of this posting on Patreon. Unsure why it has not worked for over a week now, odd.

A good election for Europe! The fascist resurgence in Germany has been halted (for now) ...

Probably the only political satire I’ve ever seen that I also believe. Yes minister and yes Prime minister. Sir Humphrey Appleby: The Foreign Office is pro-Europe because it’s really anti-Europe. The civil service was united in its desire to make sure that the Common Market didn’t work. That’s why we went into it. Britain has had the same foreign policy objective for at least 500 years: to create a disunited Europe. In that cause we have fought with the Dutch against the Spanish, with the Germans against the French, French and Italians against the Germans, and the French against the Germans and Italians. Divide and rule, you see. Why should we change now, when it’s worked so well? Jim Hacker: It’s all ancient history, surely. Sir Humphrey Appleby: Yes, and current policy. We had to break the whole thing up, so we had to get inside. We tried to break it up from the outside, but that wouldn’t work. Now that we are inside, we can make a big pig’s breakfast of the whole thing! Set the Germans against the French, French against Italians, Italians against Dutch —The Foreign Office is terribly pleased! It’s just like old times! Jim Hacker: Surely we are committed to the European ideal! Sir Humphrey Appleby: Really, Minister! Jim Hacker: If not, why are we pressing for an increase in membership? Sir Humphrey Appleby: For the same reason. It's just like the United Nations, in fact. The more members it has, the more arguments it can stir up, the more futile and impotent it becomes. Jim Hacker: What appalling cynicism! Sir Humphrey Appleby: Yes. We call it diplomacy, Minister.

The Germans elected to have an increase in Corona Fascism and Eco Fascism. Fixed it for you.

Jolly good you are here - you might learn something on proper fascism from Indy and Sparty. I myself cast my vote for a progressive and ecological future for Germany and Europe. Cheers and never forget mate.
