If Europe does not return to the path of common sense, it will find itself laid low in a battle for its fate.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If Europe does not advance, it will fall or even be wiped out from the world map... My duty is to bring Europe out of its lethargy.
Nobody in Europe will be abandoned. Nobody in Europe will be excluded. Europe only succeeds if we work together.
If all Europe lies flat while the Russian mob tramps over it, we will then be faced with a war under difficult circumstances, and with a very good chance of losing it.
Whatever else may divide us, Europe is our common home; a common fate has linked us through the centuries, and it continues to link us today.
In its haste to bolster nationalism, in its obsession with security, Europe is losing its soul.
If the euro becomes a factor promoting Europe's drifting apart, then the foundation of the European project is destroyed.
Of course, the EU is not going to fall apart, but at best it will stagnate for the foreseeable future and we will be dealing with quite a lot of internal chaos.
Europe must dissipate any doubts over the euro, affirm that the euro is an irreversible project and act in consequence.
Europe has what we do not have yet, a sense of the mysterious and inexorable limits of life, a sense, in a word, of tragedy. And we have what they sorely need: a sense of life's possibilities.
The euro is our common fate, and Europe is our common future.
