Split in NATO?

Germany's Angela Merkel remarked that Europe no longer considered Britain and the US reliable partners.

The US saved Europe from German aggression twice and then kept Germany safe from Soviet invasion, so, ah, you're welcome.  Brexit occurred because the European Union kept trying to impose polices on Britain that was detrimental the British interests and what they felt was their economic well-being and perhaps even freedom.

Meanwhile, Europe (by this I mean the European Union) lurches from crisis to crisis without handling anything.  Islamic terrorism, Greek insolvency, and manufactured Russian hysteria are just the tip of the iceberg.  Below the surface are other insidious undercurrents like high long term unemployment and deep dissatisfaction with the political systems.

Instead of creating more problems she cannot solve, Frau Merkel might be advised to keep such sentiments to herself and focus on finding solutions.

History doesn't end and like I said earlier, it might be heading in a nasty direction.

Get ahead of this while you still can!
