The biggest threat to Europe is the refugee crisis . VdB is not going to be dragging Merkel to face reality or otherwise put pressure on the EU to face reality . VdB will just allow the statusquo the fester on in typical EU fashion , from crisis to crisis . And we will just be in more direstraits n a few years when the next round of elections come round and it might be too late to save any of the EU ' s credibility in the voters eyes . Right now it ' s a project that can still be saved . Not by people so invested in the decisions that have damaged it so much like Angela Merkel though . <| sep |> So , would they be friendly if they could reach each other ? Would they run away , fight ? How would that go down ? <| sep |> Well now I feel silly for not getting the reference and making fun of them .
