EU may face the Soviet Union's fate

[TySeagraves]

@ RedGoblinus Don't get me wrong, I don't like certain aspects of the Lisbon Treaty (institutionalization of the European Council & Pres. of that Council) and that it was forced into ratification ignoring the Irish vote, but I do like how it empowers the EU Parliament and gives national parliaments the power to veto EU laws. I hope the Eurozone beaks up. I'm open to serious criticism of the EU but I will not engage is silly conspiracy theories.

[RedGoblinus]

@TySeagraves Silly conspiracy theories? Remember the words of the wise that have gone before us: "The greatest tyrannies are always perpetrated in the name of the noblest causes." - Thomas Paine; "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." - Wendell Phillips; "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke. I'm very suspicious of the intentions and motives of the people that brought about the EU and its currency the Euro - and with good reason.

The EU is Hitlers Dream Come True

[RedGoblinus]

@mranthonyjhilder Bring on the collapse of the European Union - I'll welcome it especially as it'll put the likes of the unelected witch - Lady Catherine Ashton - out of her overpaid and underworked job. She'll then have to get a shit paid job in the real world like the rest of us. :-) As this is the RussiaToday channel, I propose that the corrupt EU politicians that currently plague Europe be sent to the Siberian Gulags to learn the meaning of real work in minus 40 degrees of frost. :-)

[TySeagraves]

at about 1:40, he mentions that Germany wanted the Euro to overcome the "nation-state system" and implied that this was a left-over idea from Nazism, this is misleading because German people as a whole were happy with the DM but German politicians pushed for the Euro because of a fear that if they did not switch to the Euro, they would appear nationalistic and not pro-Europe. The politicians wanted to erase nationalism completely from German politics because Nazism is nationalism at its worse.

[RedGoblinus]

@TySeagraves The ultimate goal of the European Unionists is to homogenize, harmonize and standardize the whole of Europe under a centralized tyranny. The German people may not be NAZIs but their EU loving leadership certainly is and include amongst their allies - Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron of the UK as they're also in favour of this Hitlerite EU project. Be in no doubt that the European Union's six constitutional treaties build a NAZI style dictatorship.

[macphersonleedsunite]

@Jacobrester. Get it right. The USA started the ecomonic crisis through there big bonuses. 250,000$ to each of the 2,500 employers. It had a domino effect on the worlds economy. Now they can't admit it so they go and blame other countries to get the praise for what they say. The shit the USA say.

[TTFLS]

@macphersonleedsunite uhmmmmm the bonuses actually have nothing to do with any of this.. They are mainly just a disgusting symbol for the real reasons behind this crisis..

[likemikey93]

What you guys do not realize is that GDP does not mean anything. Clearly many of you have yet to hear about income disparity.

What really matters is the Human Development Index.

Most countries in Europe have outrageously high unemployment rates, especially in comparison with developed nations outside the EU such as Switzerland, Norway, Australia, Canada and so on.

Sure from the outside the EU members look wealthy, but on the inside most remain poor.

[FcK2420]

@likemikey93 HAHA why do you think everybody talks of china? cos their GDP is low and "human development index" is high?

CHINA HAS THE SAME GDP PER CAPITA AS TANZANIA BUT PEOPLE STILL CALL IT A ECONOMIC GIANT?????????

And ehm america has the biggest income disparity in the western world because you pay low taxes. In europe we pay taxes so unemployed people get support and arnt actually "poor".

These "poor nations" are all ahead of the us: Norway Netherlands Sweden Finland Luxembourg France.

[buddhasknowbest]

What is Europe good for today? Honestly... can anyone answer this? It is a stale continent.

[glendelio]

you're all fucking jealous because europe will be the greatest super power ever you're acting like little baby's it is NOT becoming a nation that's given europe problems it's the economy crisis imbeciles the EU have the largest economy it's normal that we feel it but the US feels it way more and i hear now one talking that the US will crash because it wont happen for both country's

[mranthonyjhilder]

@glendelio The EU is Hitlers Dream Come True

[primaten81]

what bullshit, the Greece economy ads up to about 2 % of the eurozone economy.

so to say the euro is going to collapse, is the same as saying that the us dollar will colapse if the state of Alabama was in trouble, ( not gonna happen !! )

this is more wishfull thinking from the enemies of europe.

[properwired]

@primaten81 Hmmm seems you speak with a short cut to thinking are you a Jew or should I use the real term a commie Khazar vile child killing theif and deciever. Try using evidence before you blurt out your drivle your Jew world order is doomed the Goy resistance is here

[ANTIDALLARD]

This guy is a bullshitter.

[futuramark]

I see an arabic name samir and country of residence USA. What a hypocrite saying the country that feeds you is declining.

[futuramark]

this is all envy haha ..we're the richest biggest gdp and ppp = eu

[indiasucksalways]

@futuramark Gorbachev called EU "The European Soviet". it will collapse just like SU did. EU is a joke of an economy. USA and China kicks its ass.

[futuramark]

joke of an economy..eu gdp is bigger than us..so I guess you're the only joke here

[indiasucksalways]

EU is falling apart and everyone knows it. The whole world lives off the USA and EU is no different. Any iPhones come out of EU lately? LOL.

[silverbackman]

Hard to take your opinion seriously when your just a racist.

[ZKY2]

Except that the EU has a GDP HIGHER than either China or the US.

Soooo you're wrong.

[futuramark]

we are not like russia..we're technology advanced unlike russia.

[Revolutionarist88]

Such a joke. He says nazis were not nationalist and they didn't believe in nation state. wow... lol

Europe's fate is different than soviet union's fate.

[Franzjosefderzweite]

Well, it seems that crises is comming to an end now, right? Unless a Czech President is really going to bent his own Czech constitution and running Amok in order to ensure a continuation of that crises single handedly.

[WeAreTheEuropeanz]

Wet dreams. No, not ours, yours ;)

[Dandaniels1978]

Why is always RT that reports the downfall of the West? We are too smart to go down. If we go down then we will take the whole world with us MOTHERFUCKERS. Either that or will find some other way of scamming you thick fuckers. As long as there are always more stupid people out there, you will always make money

[TheFiddog]

bla bla bla,....

[PakistaniisPower]

EU is going down.

[futuramark]

PakistaniisPower i hope india kicks your smelly paki ass. Eu will be the new american dream fool..and smelly pakis like you go to eu for social welfare..i hope they stop people like you from coming to europe you dont deserve it..you deserve a smelly ugly country like pakistan and an ugly religion islam

[Jacobrester]

@futuramark I agree with much of what you say....but I think the EU is experiencing what we in the USA experienced 150 years ago...and that is....member states trying to secede and rule themselves according to their own constitutions......we fought a civil war and determined state laws do not trump federal llaws........to hell with the muslim nations

[vvpassat]

@futuramark i agree europe need kick out all muslim who come here back the muslim nations stong europe dont need muslims

[PakistaniisPower]

[furiasha]

Very interesting intervew.  Thank you.

[I3lackArrow]

wtf is this? ps. russia sucks

[anthonyo4]

the nazis were against the nation state?

thats a load of shit hitler feared for the survival of his nation state so decided to make it bigger and acquire more resources by taking it from others

[DreadLaw2]

Indeed, the living space. Infact, can anyone give me an example of a "nationalist" (Either State consolodation or Nation building) government that wasn't on the left, and usually socialist? I don't know where we get this idea that Nationalism in on the right, when it differs so much from the conservative maintenance of the nation associated with patriotism, and much more with the ideals of State-ownership in order to achieve a great "nation" and not to maintain the individuals of a nation.

[grotillum]

HAHHAHAHHAHAAAAAAA

Europe fall?!?!?1/1/

Russia will fall !!! It is a dying nation that will colapse in a few decades.

I'm waving my hand at you and i say:

GOOD BYE RUSSIANS !!!

You will end up like gypsies, with no country and culture and spread around through all the world.

[SerbViking]

Europe has no resources, too many people on little land, it has no future.

Future lies in China and Russia.

[Ninelon]

I tottally agree! Europe have no resources! They already have no gas, just look how they cried when Russia cut off gas! Lol. xD

[SerbViking]

look, USA is bankrupt, EU, why? Because all the resources they import from Russia or Asia, and what about the production? EU and USA imports all the products from Asia.

[grungefuck]

See this part you are right .

[hosank]

and just look at how russia cried when gas prices crashed

[SerbViking]

I think Ukraine and Armenia cried because you were used to get gas and oil from Russia for free

[hosank]

no not for free, but for a lower price, but then they raised it to market price, even before they were supposed to. (in breach of contract). but again, the point is that, natural resources are not the only thing that maintains a country's strength.

[SerbViking]

you milked russia like a cow, and now you cry.

Take a look at GDP of Russia per capita is 17,000 while Armenia and Gorbia 5.000 $.

[hosank]

well yes of course, russia is much much bigger than armenia, but had the USSR not invaded us in the first place, our gass pipelines would not all be linked to russia, and we wouldn't be in a situation of dependency on them. when the USSR broke down, all CIS countries were supposed to keep getting gas at lower price till 2020, then they would reestablish their economies. and for what its worth, russia also buys gaz from kazakhstan, turkmenistan and azerbaijan in order to control gas supplies

[SerbViking]

this is per person, 17.000 Russia, Armenia 5.000

[Ninelon]

We have many resources, we have not only gas, but we have oil, gold, trees and thousands of other resourcses! Mother Russia and China and our friends>NATO, USA, Europe

[Nitrorus]

Следим, что говорим-то. Не Россия перекрыла газ, а укропы заблокировали поставки. Как говорят в Одессе, "это две большие разницы".

[silverbackman]

Europe has a more technologically advanced military than the most of the world, especially if you combine Britain, France (both nuclear powers) plus the military of Germany as well. So maybe they will go back to colonization? Since they plundered their continent to its bare bones. Of course Russia's military could be quite a threat to the combined might of Britain, France, and Germany.

Northern Europe seems self-sufficient enough, especially considering Scandinavia's high living standard.

[grungefuck]

Sure Russia has resources(especially western Russia,because population is lower compare to eastern part of Russia).But China...no man..the only reason China is getting resources is because they have affordability to get it elsewhere like South America and Africa.

[SerbViking]

China has production, they don't have debts

[grungefuck]

Yes i know that and i never said that they are in dept,otherwise i wouldn't state that China could AFFORD to buy resources elsewhere.But they cannot get resources within their counrty since the population is 1.4 billion chinese in land mass of 9,640,821 km2.

[SerbViking]

you see chinese have production, and not debts, they don't need resources if they have human resources

[silverbackman]

China doesn't have too many people on too little land? You have got to be kidding. The densely populated parts of China are very overpopulated (eastern side of the country has the most). I say Brazil has a better chance than the ones you mentioned, it's not overpopulated by any means. And it's energy efficient, they don't even need oil!

[SerbViking]

@silverbackman China in the average is twice less populated than Germany, , and they are just behind USA by the GDP, and still have booming economy with no end on sight. I agree Brasil, India, China and Russia are the future of humanity.

[silverbackman]

China in the average is less populated than Germany? Really? what parts are you referring to? Sure the Western part of the territories of China are very less populated, but the eastern side is crowded and over-populated. Of course China does have a negative population rate so this may change. India has many same problems too.....overpopulation maybe even worse (billions people on a continent 1/3 the size of Europe). But India does have a strong democratic tradition and stable government.

[NJRocks281]

China's gdp is not right behind the US you fool. They are right behind Japan. China and Japan had a gdp of 4.9 trillion each. The US has a 14.5 trillion gdp.

[primal111]

all constructs of the mind all points of view,who views the thoughts...the awakened one,who belives the thoughts the asleep ones,witness the thoughts all the time then you become awake....it just is.....I can and do do it so can you

[charlessmyth]

Reports out of Tiblisi would suggest that Russia is trying to thwart US expansion, by fomenting a military coup in Georgia. €uros were not found, but Roubles were.
