1. DoktahArk: Have a look at Piketty, I think, his work could inspire you.
2. joe stalin: close the borders, dissolve the E.U. ,nationalism is the only hope for europe
3. Richard Taylor: How much of this can be traced back to the financial crisis? I know that there is much I am ignorant about but from my perspective the bankers that contributed to the collapses have hurt the world more than they ever could have realized.... If that crisis had never occurred what would the political environment in Europe look like now? From my perspective a more unified world is a better one but now people seem to be more and more divided. 
4. Rocco Siffredi: Actually not bad! Well done Stratfor!
5. Maria Schick:  Multiculturalism And mass immigration has failed everywhere on earth ! Here in America you can thank the jew's for speeding up the process. But then again it's part of their divide and conquer game plan !
6. kmg501: Anyone who thinks that they can spend their way out of a problem with money that they have to borrow or print out of thin air is a dangerous economic illiterate.
7. kamran kam: Germans Natural move has to be to the east, Poland and Russia is where Germany needs to look to, poland is very much a US Camp country ATM but if Russia and Germany get closer Poland will toe the line! The rest of EU will only pull Germany down, they all want German Hard work to pay for their excesses.
8. Sue Neal: Who elects the leaders of the EU? ...like Barroso, Shultz. How do they come to be in power because the people in Europe have never heard of them before they were "elected"
9. Marko Kraguljac: There is not enough fossil fuels available for every part of world economy to really grow, without prices skyrocketing. Growth is most needed in China, India and Africa. And they are growing. Peaking of fossil fuels is reintroducing zero sum economics. World desperately needs new energy revolution. All talks about different politics, fiscal problems etc are mostly fairy-tale, smoke and mirror covers for confusion and easier digestion of those who have to swallow (in fact, energy) austerity.
10. prof1066: The banking crisis has very little to do with the euro crisis, this was allways going to happen, the British government told Germany and France years before the Euro was launched , that this would be the result. The economies do not match, it will take decades to get them in sync.
