Europe in Crises



Wootton in his book “The Invention of Science (2015)”, ask the question why the Scientific Method took hold in Europe, especial between 9 and 12 century, allot of the development was in Islamic world, around the 9 century Islamic rationalism was label as heresy, while took closed to centuries the energy was dissipated leaving the Science and technology in Europe, the answer for Wootton was the fragmentation in Europe, open to development of new ideas, not a single place can control the epistemology or the scientific method on the other hand, Europe have close of more than 2000 years of history of Imperial dreams from Rome to 2016 Putin Russia (not just unique to the West, Islam spread was in the name of  Religious Empire—like Byzantium take the mantel of Rome) the historian R J Evans in “The Third Reich in History And Memory” show the roots of Nazi Germany was in desire and envious of the German Kaiser of the Mercantile British Empire, when Bismarck defined the German power should be based on commerce, since Germany was not bless by being an Island like the British or access to tow Ocean like the French whatever access have to the sea was limited, the Kaiser retire Bismarck, this created the base for two World Wars, the European Union is rightly Merkel point out born as way to reign nationalist and focus to something more, the points which created the tensions France and Germany competing in the economic level, what EU eventually achieve was  bring Easter Europe from the clutch of the Oppression of Russia, since the collapse of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth, the Czar using Rusification as instrument for oppression from the Baltics to Ukraine.
While UK requested three times to be part of the EU and deny twice by than Charles de Gaulle deny them because de Gaulle believe UK did not in his heart in Europe, but the isolation of the Island life, Hannah Arent in “The origin of Totalitarianism” described the Rhodes private Diamond Empire was based on race (not unique to British the actions of Leopold II in Belgium Colonies in Africa), the spirit of Rhodes in previous manifestations in British colonies in the case US the 1800´s rule in Maryland where free slave children can never be free the opposite bounded.
The referendum of 2016, of the British Exit out European Union, while in the case of the UK white population closed to 87.7 % and not enough immigration for a population replacement (the average birth is 1.97 and the need of 2.075 for replacement) and compare to US the white Population in 2016 is 72.4% decreasing, like the inequality introduce in the US by the policies of Ronald Regan via the Republican Party and UK by Margaret Thatcher at the same time 1980´s through the Tories, the deindustrialization occur in two place, but in US because the size some new and return, since both are consumer oriented, but in the case of UK was Germans Industries save whatever left from Aviation EADS, Roll Royce own by BMW, icons Mini on the hands of BMW, 8% of the UK Economy are investment financial base on the idea of stable economy and politics no more, while Anglo Saxon, many times driven by hope in our case wishful thinking, while EU main force Germany, Merkel making to measure errors there tendency in Germany believing in Ideology not deviation like in the case of Greece, the free market religion, where the system is more important than people, while reforms were  needed the shock therapy created alienation (not forget the Europe because cultural nationalism and long grievance memories, the War in Kosovo, the Balkans as mention in the book by Slavko Goldstein “1941 The Year that Keeps Returning”). The second the immigration open doors by Merkel, due to Obama decision, the Iran deal was more important than Syria civil conflict, not to say after the disastrous Iraq conflict brought by Republican administration, the US have no interest to extend themselves into more conflicts, and lack of any public support help to prioritize not to rattle Iran by forcing out Assad being protégé of Iran.
Merkel is cautions, but when she takes a position, Merkel is difficult to dislocated from her position, while the British referendum was result of the racism in England and Wales, the delusion they have Europe will continue the status quo in the Economy and let them to restrict immigration, the principles of the European Project one of them the free movement. The Business Transaction of Germany with the UK is 0.4 of the GDP, more over to consume there is a need jobs to have the cash, the tariff of Auto import to EU is 10%, not to say Scotland will leave the UK with their second referendum—the are consequences and UK just in her delusion of Racist Empire just have become smaller.
