Bibi Haniffa posted:Trump had predicted this. Watch now for the rest of the EU to disintegrate one country at a time. The European countries have to protect their borders against the "enemy" as immigration and terrorism take root. Brussels is doing nothing to help these countries so now it's time for them to step out and take charge. Trump is going to one up them all the way.
Right wing nationalism is not the way to go. It is where we were at the beginning of the 19th century. It resulted in brutal wars, and generalized poverty. The Maastricht treaty was a beacon of hope that there would be one people one, europe, one purpose. It was an experiment that consociationalism can replace ethnic nationalism. Fear of Muslims has generated a resurgence of ethnic nationalism and fractures within the union. What will come out of this cannot be good for the region.
