Nach meiner unheimlichen Begegnung mit der EU-Diplomatie hatte ich ja überlegt, ob ich nicht mal wieder etwas zur Kritikunfähigkeit der EU schreiben sollte. Und das ist dabei herausgekommen:

Einstein once defined insanity as, “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” He must have had the European Union in mind. Bailing out one country after the other, Europe’s leaders never tire to claim that this last bailout, this last emergency summit, this last rescue mechanism will finally solve the crisis once and for all. And then, two weeks later, they are meeting again to proclaim exactly the same after another emergency round. The motto of Europe’s crisis management is always ‘this time is different’.

Clearly, in the Einsteinian sense, European politicians are insane.
