A (dissident?) French View of Germany and the EU

For the many readers (such as Mr ‘B’) who continue to believe that there is no conflict between Germany and Russia, or that the European Union is a happy voluntary club of equal nations dancing round in a circle and singing joyful songs in dappled sunlight, breaking off occasionally to eat free cakes, I provide this link to a translation (provided for me by a kind reader) of a recent article by the French historian and commentator Emmanuel Todd. It may prove illuminating, especially as it comes from a French source, when so many people assume that France has long ago surrendered its whole heart and mind to the European project.  Mind you, given the desire of many to avoid illumination, it may not.
