“DON’T blame the feckless Greeks for Europe’s looming economic catastrophe — blame the Germans. And the French, of course. They arm-twisted Germany into swapping its beloved deutschemark for the disastrous euro. It was the price France demanded for supporting the reunification of East and West Germany. Margaret Thatcher warned it would hand Germany the economic prize it twice failed to achieve by war — domination of Europe. Not for the first time, the Iron Lady was spot on. German Chancellor Helmut Kohl memorably grabbed that deal with both hands, warning his country needed to be restrained. Otherwise, he implied, it might not be responsible for its actions. When the euro was born, Germany set the terms. Interest rates were kept absurdly low to boost German exports…. Mr Cameron is at his best in a crisis. This one is the most dangerous since the Second World War. We do not face military conflict — yet.”
