318: Reckless & Provocative
European Union Instability and Angela Merkel
Author Timothy Garton Ash appeared on Charlie Rose to discuss the power dynamics of the European Union, describing Germany as the "engine" and France as the "driver." German public opinion is turning against bankrolling indigent nations like Greece, putting Chancellor Angela Merkel in a difficult political position. The segment also mentions a recent incident where Nicolas Sarkozy was physically grabbed by a citizen in a rope line.
