There is no healthy
organism in nature without security and decisions making mechanism. Indeed, Europe reached a time point
when euro has become one of the most powerful currencies. But what about
its security and decision making functions?
As long as Europe
belongs to NATO there is no need to differentiate now and for some decades more at
least. NATO structure, decision-making experience and power are enough to
guarantee Europe’s borders regarding both European countries alone according to article 5 and Europe as
a whole entity. In any way Europe has neither economic
funds to spend meaningless nor capabilities reached yet to appeal to present threats that
are above its strengths and already outside its North and South borders.
The question EU to answer
quickly is what are its borders and how fast will make the necessary improvements in order to
accelerate its political unity and decision making capability. In North, Ukraine has to be decided
if it belongs to Europe and what will be the final borders with Russia as well as how
concrete will be these borders. Can EU and especially northern countries like
Germany live without Russia in 21th century?
Moreover in South, will Balkans
participate truly in EU entity or will remain a post Ottoman European corner? Without doubt it is not
normal to try to analyze an society where wages are nearly 180 euro according
to European values of life and economical parameters as well as Balkan societies where higher wages exist only due to
eternal loans. EU constitutions have to decide soon where Europe ends and in case
they include Balkans they have to change them quickly. The geographical inclusion
of Balkans in Europe has little to give and even may become lethal as the crucial
thing is neither land nor money but the way of thinking and living depicted into peoples values and their fights for existence.
Russia and Mr Putin
very brilliantly try to give to Balkans the last decades what human needs to survive. Energy. A
new Balkan energy pipeline, Turkishstream, was the main menu of Greek Prime
Minister Mr Tsipras and his Russian one Mr Putin during their last cordially meeting in Moscow.
Russia is ready to pay in advance and hug Greece and Balkans while carving Europe’s and Russia real
borders in 21th century no matter land issues.
An EU stance besides Mr’s Mario Draghi and ECB billions of euro has to provide a unanimous decision along with its mechanism
of function in order to oppose successfully to Russia offensive diplomacy.
Indeed any decision
has to be promoted and executed by capable fresh players who will replace the existing ones that seem especially in Greece dedicated to its old traditions and
faiths. Values that are equal to billions of euro in foreign banks neutralizing any west plan and effort in recent years...
