Soros: The European Union Is Now In An "Existential Crisis" And Trump's America Is A "Hostile Power"

Commenting on the current state of the European experiment, George Soros warned the European Union has plunged it into an existential crisis as a result of "dysfunctional" institutions and austerity mandates, and will require the bloc to reinvent itself to survive. Speaking at the Brussels Economic Forum, the billionaire investor said the EU had "lost its momentum" as he urged policymakers to abandon hopes of "ever closer union" driven by a top-down approach from Brussels, a statement which will likely displease Germany.

"The European Union is now in an existential crisis," Soros told a Brussels audience. "Most Europeans of my generation were supporters of further integration. Subsequent generations came to regard the EU as an enemy that deprives them of a secure and promising future."

Just a day after Brussels published a paper mapping out its vision of eurozone integration, Mr Soros warned that the single currency area had become "the exact opposite of what was originally intended" according to the Telegraph.

Quoted by CNBC, Soros said Europe's "reinvention would have to revive the support that the European Union used to enjoy." The reinvention would have to review past mistakes and explain what went wrong, and make proposals to make things right.

Soros welcomed a German idea to cut European funds aimed at reducing income inequalities at the regional level for those countries disrespecting the rule of law. Both Hungary and Poland, which are net recipients of the so-called cohesion funds, have been criticized by European institution for their weak standards with regards to the rule of law.

The billionaire also reminded his hosts that "the European Union was meant to be a voluntary association of like-minded states that were willing to surrender part of their sovereignty for the common good. After the financial crisis of 2008, the eurozone was transformed into a creditor/debtor relationship where the debtor countries couldn’t meet their obligations and the creditor countries dictated the terms that the debtors had to meet."

"By imposing an austerity policy they made it practically impossible for the debtor countries to grow out of their debts. The net result was neither voluntary nor equal."

He, correctly, said loss of trust in the EU has paved the way for support for anti-European political parties and said the goal of "an ever closer union" had to be abandoned.

"Now we need a collaborative effort that combines the top-down approach of the EU institutions with the bottom-up movements that are necessary to engage the electorate," said Soros and added that "instead of a “multi-speed” Europe we should aim for a “multi-track” Europe that would allow member states a wider variety of choices. This would have a far-reaching beneficial effect."

He urged the bloc to focus on three key areas - dealing with the refugee crisis, Brexit and "the lack of an economic growth strategy".

Fight Xenophobia and Hostile Powers

Predictably, the man who some have alleged was behind the great migration movement that sent 1 million mostly Syrian refugees in Germany in the past 2 years, Soros said Europe needs to overcome the current "existential crisis" by fighting together against the rise of anti-European sentiment, xenophobic feelings and surrounding "hostile powers."

“Externally the EU is now surrounded by hostile powers: Putin’s Russia, Erdogan’s Turkey, Sisi’s Egypt and the America that Trump would like to create but can’t,” Soros said.

He called for an update of European treaties to make the EU work better and allow a "multitrack" bloc where countries would have a wider variety of choices when it comes to integration.

Brexit

Discussing Brexit, Soros - who rose to prominence as the man who broke the Bank of England for his bets against the pound in the early 1990s - warned Brussels against punishing Britain in forthcoming Brexit negotiations and said Brussels should not get distracted with the upcoming EU exit negotiations with the U.K. and continue their work to regain the trust of EU citizens.

"Brexit will be an immensely damaging process, harmful to both sides. Most of the damage is felt right now, when the European Union is in an existential crisis, but its attention is diverted to negotiating the separation from Britain," he said.

He also said Brexit is likely to take "as long as five years" and that the EU should approach negotiations in a "constructive spirit" and should use Brexit "to transform itself into an organization that other countries like Britain would want to join", instead of seeking to punish Britain.

"The European Union must resist temptation to punish Britain and approach the negotiations in a constructive spirit. It should use Brexit as a catalyst for introducing far-reaching reforms," Soros said. "The divorce will be a long process taking a long as five years… During that time the EU could transform itself into an organization that other countries like Britain would want to join. If that happens the two sides will want to be reunited even before the divorce is completed."

Shit formatting OP, otherwise good content.
Polite sage

excellent

How fucking hard can it be to keep Europe for Europeans.

(((EU))) has nothing to do with Europe

So the EU Faggots I debate with who tell me to "fix
my own country" apparently have issues to deal with…
HaHaHa.
The dumbest fucking naive, docile obedient lawyers
I've ever seen.

Who knew?

Hang this fucking kike

This, over and over.

I will say one thing for the EU. the damn thing just won't quite. How many existential crisis has this thing endured, and it still isn't dead.

Nice impotent screeching, loser.

>>>/cuckchan/

Fuck this slippery rat.

...

Are they not paying you people extra to try and fit in, these days?

Or are you one of those new cucks they've roped into this that doesn't get paid at all?

WE WILL MAKE THEM ENJOY EU
Funny how kikes like him see money as the ultimate control tool. Little does he know that every Eastern European country recognized the Soviet nature of the EU and stays for the gibs now.
As soon as they are cut, they are out out out.


Ergo, the less developed will be colonies/puppets/protectorates.
I AM THE LAW

All in all, he's desperate. The witch wasn't elected and the whole plan is falling apart.

They have to curbstomp (((them))). Don't play their D&C.

Only because a certain someone is funding the fucking backlash.
Soros, your cash won't hold for much longer, the hive is seeing your bullshit now.
You're no longer invisible to the normie. They know your name.

Soon they WILL have your head.

How high are you?

Bet a shekel they won't listen to him. The only vice stronger than greed in a jew is pride.

This. They want to postpone or even abandon Soviet Union 2: Electric Boogaloo project and lure those politicers idiots with germoney to keep my country in, flood it with semite and negro filth, pushing integration and tainting our blood forever.

Reminder: (((George Soros))) created the current situation by destroying the UK government when he threw the pound out of the exchange rate mechanism. He made a billion dollars in the process.

Now this uberkike wants to profit again from the mess he himself made.

Really makes you think.

Here he is talking about ORban. I know some people have said Orban is another kosher nationalist but if he pisses off Soros he can't be that bad.

Probably a stupid question but how did he do that?

t. financial illiterate

When will you larping NaatSuuc get it in your head that you don't name the jew openly?
You pet him with one hand and pull the rug with the other.

Soros keeps bringing in rapefugees, everything gets worse which means everything gets cheaper and the people will be desperate for some help, Soros swoops in with his civilian organizations and buys or puts everything into debt. Whoop de fucking do, I fucking hate kikes.

fuck she's definite wife material in that pic.. if you didn't know about her personality

… I actually thought he wanted to accumulate power through all of this, since a bunch of niggers are much easier to control.
Although money is power, so I am still partially right. Oh boy, someone open a hunt on him.

Kill yourself schlomo

I'm not even going to call shill or jew. My guess is you're either formerly or still an antifa participant.

He shorted the British Pound, forcing them to devalue their currency, and made over a billion USD in the process.

Of course, this would never be allowed to happen if he weren't a Jew—in effect, it was just a barely disguised cash handout from the Rothchilds to enable him to be the frontman for their globalist agenda.

Fuck off Jew.

...

...

Feels good knowing the kikes realize they don't have America quite under their control. Without the US under heel, the rest push back.

Are these people really so dense that they cannot comprehend how this half-baked plan of theirs failed? The EU failed because they let undesirables move in by the millions. If they had a shred of intellect, they could have leveraged the migration crisis to get Europeans to accept a newly empowered EU on the grounds that it would swiftly resolve the migration crisis (through physical removal, of course)

As much as I'd rather see us work together to get rid of the plague, it'd be something at least.

So in other words, he's kvetching because Hungary and Poland decided to enforce their borders, an act of sovereignty to which they are entitled… And because Trump blew him the fuck out in the US election, spending a fraction of what Soros did. Oh, and he's still butthurt about Brexit.

Makes perfect sense.

That said, I am surprised to see Soros telling the EU "not to punish Britain for Brexit", and advocating the carrot instead of the stick. The only logical explanation for this is that he knows the EU is over in all but name.

The problem always was in corralling nations with disparate levels of economic development and centuries-old national identities into one big thing - it can't be done.
Soviet Union was just a poor man's technocratic version of Russian empire that ran out of steam when kikes within it got booted after Stalin's death and decided to redo it in Europe.

When they signed Treaty of Rome in 1950s, the idea was to stop future wars, but that quickly got hijacked when "globalism" came around as an idea. There is always a hidden interest ruling the proceedings, and Soros is just the tip of it all.

Orban is the only solid choice we have left in Hungary. That is mostly because he singlehandedly emasculated every hardcore nationalist movement, and the supposed "far right" purged itself from hardcore nationalists and panders to the commie jews now.

Have a polite bump too.
