Indeed. Are not the political leaders (Kohl et al) who guide the EU also
staunch supporters of globalization, the WTO, et al?

Isn't the primary consquence of the EU to lubricate the sellout of Europe
to globalization? Isn't the concept of an "economically strong Europe" (a
competitor to the US and Japan) completely out of date under globalization?
Isn't this well-known to the EU leaders? Aren't they simply "bait &
switch" salesmen?
