Europe is facing an ‘existential crisis’ that could end in violent revolution and war, the French foreign minister warned last night. In the bleakest assessment yet of the euro crisis, Alain Juppe, a former French prime minister, said the spiralling debt crisis could trigger ‘the explosion of the European Union itself’.
I missed this when it first came out on Dec 1st, but there are a lot of smart European power-brokers (not talking kooks or fringers) who think war is a distinct possibility. For example, the PM of Poland made very similar comments back in September.
